TC6 Fluxbox doesn't honour /home/tc/.fluxbox/menu config changes on reboot

(1/1)

nitram:
All other Fluxbox configuration files appear honoured, except /home/tc/.fluxbox/menu file. Actually i have not yet needed to modify the apps, overlay and slitlist configuration files so not sure about those. The following configuration files are, however, honoured: init, keys. So for whatever reason the menu file gets overwritten with the default configuration on reboot.

My menu modifications work great when using Fluxbox, just aren't restored on reboot so i always need to restore from backup. Here's my menu config changes, not sure it should matter (just the fluff, firefox, aterm section towards the bottom were added):

Will play around with it a bit more later, but something appears wrong?

Misalf:
True, the default menu file always gets overwritten by the extensions desktop script
(/usr/local/bin/fluxbox_initmenu).

Edit  ~/.fluxbox/init  and change the default menu file
from

--- Code: ---session.menuFile: ~/.fluxbox/menu

--- End code ---
to

--- Code: ---session.menuFile: ~/.fluxbox/menu_custom

--- End code ---

Copy  ~/.fluxbox/menu  to  ~/.fluxbox/menu_custom .
Edit  menu_custom  instead of  menu .

nitram:
Thanks again Misalf. That was easy, now working great. Pass the bagels, no icons for me please. Sorry for accusing you Fluxbox :)

hal9king:
you can make your fluxbox menu any name you want by editing 'init' and changing the entry:  session.menuFile:       ~/.fluxbox/xxxx
