Linux mint cinnamon plexamp4/26/2023 ![]() Cinnamenu currently offers the access to the respective directory of an entry of "Recents" by a context menu (Open respective directory) but this functionality is second best because you have to move the mouse from entry to entry of "Recents" to find the needed directory. In this situation it would be useful to offer the directories of all listed documents in the "Recent" Category summarized in a new sub category "directories" similar to the sub categories "Applications", "Documents" and "Images". In addition to that use case sometimes a user want to continue her/his work on a project that means editing another document in the same directory of the displayed document or creating a new document. Hi fredcw, I meant the following use case: The "Recent" Category offers the opportunity to continue working on a document. Separating by file type would require a script to run on Nemo, but it would be a step forward and would make Cinnamenu more than just a front-end, but an improvement to the system. It allows searching by extension ( in the search bar ) but only by a specific extension, like ".png". But it would be nice and an amazing advance to have a tab or buttons to distinguish the 3 categories of recent files - newly opened, newly saved, and newly downloaded and an option to open them in a Nemo file browser window, which already has this functionality, but doesn't separate files by type. And it doesn't distinguish newly opened files from saved files or recent downloads, but that could be Mint's shortcoming, as Cinnamenu is just a top-art front-end for a native application. It's a beauty, simply the best! But there is room for some improvements, and I'll even suggest one : The "recent files" tab is a mess ! It would be better to split the view into 4 columns separated by types - images, documents, videos, music - which would help a lot. Thanks for your dedication to this wonderful spice. Apologies if these are know issues, I haven't had time to go thru everything yet. I have the same 2 issues on 2 seperate computers, one of which was just freshly installed. I have tried restarting Cinnamon (Ctrl-Alt-Esc) to see if that fixes it, but to no avail. It can take a couple seconds to open and sometimes as long as 5 seconds to open. But by the end of the day it becomes slow. Second, after powering up my computer in the morning, Cinnamenu is very snappy opening as it should. To resolve this, I have expanded the window to vertically cover the entirety of my vertical screen, forcing me to click to the right of the menu to avoid inadvertent program launching. If I open the menu and click outside of the menu window, specifically below the menu window, it will launch an app as if I was clicking in the menu window. Cinnamenu window boundaries are not respected. First, I use a vertical panel on the left side of screen with Cinnamenu pinned at top left corner, if that is a factor, I don' t know. desktop file of currently highlighted app in default text editor (opens file in user mode.) Alt-Enter - Open launcher properties dialogue of currently highlighted application.Shift-Enter - Run currently highlighted application as root user. ![]()
