I've had a brief look on it.
If I understood correctly, Baghira menu does the same iteration of every menu item at the startup, so it's slower at startup and faster when a search is made.
a solution for making it faster could be loading the list with a background thread and always keep the full loaded list hidden, but I think it will dramatically increase the memory usage, I must do some experiments... - Oct 21 2006

nice idea: maybe two separate settings for width and height of the buttons? - Oct 08 2006

at the moment it hasn't dcop calls.
And being a kicker applet I fear it should have being loaded into kicker otherwise it won't work, so the tastymenu button should be present both in kicker and ksmoothdock,and that wouldn't be pretty :( - Oct 06 2006

did you have installed the theme to the right prefix? (in suse do ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3) - Oct 01 2006

It's due to a version mismatch between the installed kde version and the one on which the theme was builth
(see http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/#kde35)

I fear you will have to build it yourself :-( - Oct 01 2006

uhm, I feel that a tabbar would make the menu too cluttered?
a test should be done how much people use that combobox.
As for the tooltips, they are already in, but for some reasons they are not always displayed, I think it could be a kde/qt bug because I also found that problem in other apps. - Sep 27 2006

did you restarted kicker/installed tasty menu in the proper location? - Sep 25 2006
Tasty Menu

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by mart 499 comments

it's done via a dcop call to kicker, executed after an app is launched via kmenu or with alt+f2. the sad thing is that in kde 3.5 that feature is broken so the results are very unreliable.
It's fixed in the 3.5 branch of subversion, so in a future 3.5.5 it should work better. - Sep 25 2006

Ooops, I forgotten a little detail :-P(an #include is missing).
It compiles only when ./configure --enable-final is used .
Give me some minutes and I will upload a fixed version. - Sep 25 2006

Hi,
as for the favourites I fear you discovered one of that bugs very hard to spot, I will investigate if I can do something about it (and if I can't fix it in the next version will be possible to add bookmarks with a right mouse button menu, by the way).
As for the second problem, does the menu window have a border? (you can switch between a normal window and a menu with the expected behaviour with that little arrow button at the top right of the window) - Sep 25 2006

The problem is that the standard kicker buttons aren't exposed for the use af 3rd party applet and so a big code duplication is needed.
I wanted to mantain it as simple as possible, even if the only way to make it a little bit fitt's friendly is to disable the applet handles in kicker configuration. - Aug 21 2006

The last crashes that still remains are harder to spot, I' ve corrected some possible causes around here, but I don't know where all the possible causes are.
For the garzillions of fake new installed apps I think I've found a solution, in the next release a such thing shouldn't happen again (at least I hope) - Aug 14 2006

The cpu consumption stays fixed to 42% all the time even when the menu is closed and not used?
if it is when searching or opening a submenu I know, that part is very heavy indeed, I still haven't found a way to make it lighter, I will investigate on that... - Aug 11 2006

Uhm, a preferences dialog reachable by a RMB menu exists (on menu button) maybe I will add also a RMB menu also to menu entries for some menu editing options - Aug 10 2006
Tasty Menu

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by mart 499 comments

you can right click on the menu button and choose "configure global shortcuts..."
If you want assign the KMenu alt+F1 shotcut you must go to "configure..." and then under behaviour activate the "override alt+f1 shortcut" and then restart kicker (I know It's not too confortable but there wasn't a simpler way for overriding alt+f1)

If you want to map the win key well, this is far more complex, because the win key is a modifier like ctrl or alt, so you can't assign a shortcut to the win key only without a combination.
The only way is to remap the win key to a normal key that is not present on the keyboard (i.e. F13) but this involves to manually change the xkb config files - Aug 10 2006

yes, it supports them, I still haven't tried to add one (probably a little bit of war with the build system wiill be needed :)). In the next version I will add a translation, so it can be used as a skeleton to add more of them. - Aug 03 2006

yes that option seriously need to be added, I think I should be able to add it in the next version. But on the other hand I think I should avoid a jungle of garzillions of configuration options, so I would be cautious on adding options. - Aug 02 2006

Uhm, I don't know if i will do it, because I always preferred native look and feel for the apps, because they are more consistent and first of all have less bugs (reimplementing all the painting routines of every widget used is a true hell)

for the most/recently used list, yes at the moment it doesn't work because it uses the kde one that is broken since 3.5.0 maybe I will reimplement one from myself - Aug 02 2006

Hi,
1)Do you intend directly a textbox like the kicker applet? i'm skeptic about having two textbox into the menu, wouldn't it be too much?

2)maybe I could have an option to show the +/- subtree expander on the first level

3)yes, i think it could be done.

4)again i think it would be too much - Aug 01 2006

It use the same most used applications list that kmenu uses, but unfortunately since KDE 3.5.0 that list is terribly broken (all we can do is vote for http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130263)

But I decided to use that list because it's updated also by the alt+f2 dialog, and let's hope it will be fixed - Jul 27 2006

for franzf:
I have the same concerns about extending the search to both the middle and right column.

I chose the current approach not only because it's easy to implement, but also because when you enter a search query you have all the result clickable without searching in what caregory it is, and since it mantains the tree structure, you can learn what is the hierarchy. - Jul 27 2006

Hello,
a few thoughts:
1)
It's already doing that, but only when the mouse button is pressed, I think doing that also when the mouse button is not pressed would be a little bit annoying, maybe I should use a ~400ms timeout when the mouse button is pressed and ~1s when is not pressed?

2)yes, I think it could be done

3)idem

4)Uhm, I don't know if a mixed approach between listviews and traditional menus will be much usable - Jul 26 2006
