Manage Ubuntu 11.04 Unity Launcher Quicklist using unity-launcher-editor

Published in

Unity-Launcher-Editor is a GUI designed to manage Unity Launcher items and quicklists. So far, it supports add/remove Launcher items, customize quicklist group, and even change shortcut icons.

This project is hosted on Launchpad, and still in the early development phase.

To install unity-launcher-editor, first open up a terminal window and type in this two commands:

sudo apt-get install bzr
bzr branch lp:unity-launcher-editor

After that, run the command to start the GUI:

~/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/main.py

unity-launcher-editor on launchpad.net: https://launchpad.net/unity-launcher-editor

From my perspective, Ubuntu should have similar tool built-in. 3rd party tools are something to be avoided in fine-tuning of OS.

It doesn’t work when launching it via command line…

did you include the path in single quotes?

‘/home/username/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/main.py’

Excellent work guys. The editor worked nicely for what I wanted it for. I needed to edit the launch command with additional parameters.

Thanks

What’s wrong with using ‘right click’ to change a panel/launcher, Ubuntu Devs? This new Unity Desktop breaks so many conventions, and forces users to switch between the mouse and the keyboard too many times.

Drill down menus = 1 click of a mouse, move the mouse, click again.

Compare that to find the terminal app in Unity

Mouse to full left, click on applications, switch to keyboard, back to mouse to icon.

Add to that, no way to choose size of icons to allow quicker, lower ‘steridian’ viewing of visual presentation.

for Ubuntu 11.10, change last step to:

After that, run the command to start the GUI:

./unity-launcher-editor/ule

even in 11.04 you must use the command /unity-launcher-editor/ule for the GUI appears

I don’t have this working , for Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
