How to edit menus applets?

Support & Help Requests
#1

Hello all,

It seems to be impossible to rearrange, reorder and edit some entries shown in menus applets (Menu bar, Brisk Menu, Mate menu).
For example, i tried to hide an element with menulibre or alacarte, but nothing append.

Thank you

Which specific elements?

@ClarusAD - you mentioned alacarte, so I’m wondering if you meant mozo (mate’s forked version of alacarte). If not, then you might want to try installing mozo and see of that works. I successfully use it to hide stuff from the Advanced MATE Menu

Mozo is almost intuitive, menulibre is not.

It’s crazy !
Why a MATE 17 fresh install provide a non functional menu editor, such as menulibre ?
Why don’t just directly put Mozo which works very well ?

What is your underlying OS? Have you installed the vanilla Mate desktop on top? I ask this because Ubuntu Mate comes with Mozo pre-installed.

It was changed to menulibre in 17.10.

(See http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/16.04.3/release/ubuntu-mate-16.04-desktop-amd64.manifest vs.

Acording to myself, it isn’t a good idea : menulibre doesn’t run in 17.10 !
