Where are all the tools in xfce4?

[jur]

Where are the list of tools that are found in the desktop menu in the default wm? How ould one get those into the xfce4 menu system? Since they are such an integral part of tc I think they should be in there by default in xfce4.

Right, currently only exittc and cpanel is added to the menu and desktop. I will add remaining and create an extension providing them.

BTW, which toosl you are missing?

I got these from .jwmrc:

Reason why I asked is that not all tools have sense to add by default. For example they have an Xfce4 variant:

- as picture viewer install Ristretto
- to make screenshots use the plugin from the repo
- to run command there is run command already in the menu

Commands like to shortcut to 'top' can be added to the desktop by yourself..

Will consider which one is really necessary by default and which one must be left for the user.

Agreed, not all are appropriate. (I just installed Ristretto, thanks for the tip.)

What happened to the Xfce4 audio mixer which is mentioned in the tips but is not in the repo?

Audio mixer had strange dependencies not available that time, so I focused on the base system. Also, it is not very interesting as you can use other mixers part of ALSA or OSS package. Later I will revisit the issue.

OSS mixer is another one that I'm wondering about how to access. For now I would have to search for the app and start it using a shell.
