Yes, the menu items are arranged alphabetically after PupMenu recursively scans all .desktop files in the /usr/share/applications and /usr/local/share/applications directories, selectively excluding .desktop files that have the "NoDisplay=true" entry (hidden menu items). The basic Linux sort command is used (no additional search or merge algorithms).?are items appearing in the lists fixed alphabetically, or could your user select what order they appear in, so they could put the most used at the top and the rest in use order?
PupMenu is designed to function comfortably as a stand-alone program, but it is very extensible and will integrate dynamically with add-on modules that provide most of the features that you have requested.?How extensible is it, along the line of a user dynamically adding through the preferences button, a few extra 'menu' boxes, say for 'favorites', 'my-apps', 'extra tools', 'development', and the like and using puppy's pick-and-drag process to fill them?
Also ?could it be hidden in a 'corner', unlike the toolbars that take over the whole of a side, whether they need to or not.
Also, maybe allow multiples, that could be programmed to show selected groups, or individual applications, so they could become task specific.

I wouldn't change a thing, personally. Love it.
Working great on Akita, looks nice, works perfect.
In fact, PupApps, PupControl and PupMenu are all so comprehensive,
and I am wondering if I actually need all of them...
But I will include all 3 of those in Akita, along with PupSnap, too.
Unfortunately, the gtkdialog combobox widget does not specifically support a <default> attribute, so the typical workaround is additional code which inserts the current default item in the combobox drop-down list. The downside of this workaround is what you have observed. If there is no current default item, the top entry in the list may appear blank -- or if a default item is available, the result is apparent duplication of that item in the combobox list.ive noticed a minor bug that display a random menu entry at the top of menus - sometimes blank, sometimes a copy at the current entry.
Yes, that would be possible, but I'm not sure the implementation would add anything to the nice drag & drop option already available in ROX-Filer. For example, open ROX-Filer (available in the PupMenu tray), then go to the /usr/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications folders which contain .desktop files that correspond to entries in the Puppy XDG menu. You can quickly drag & drop the appropriate .desktop file to the ROX pinboard (desktop).Would it be possible to add a button that adds a menu entry to the pin board?
Not yet.Also, have you considered a more compact layout using 'category' as a drop down menu?
With PupMenu, you can quickly modify existing menu items, or easily use the corresponding .desktop files as templates to create new menu items. A separate module for creating .desktop files is a possiblilty for future releases.Can items be added to menu with pupmenu?

Could you help me please? How could I translate it to hungarian language? I tried to look some .mo, .po or text file but did not found.
Should I translate it in the sources and rebuild it?
If you have any idea please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
