As described on Bug 12141, I have a Panel Launcher of Xfdashboard. The command xfdashboard --toggle does not display menu browser, unless Xfdashboard was closed while browsing the menu. I want the Xfdashboard launcher button to always open the menu.
Hi, If I understood your problem right, then it should be easy to solve. Just open the xfdashboard settings at Settings -> Personal -> xfdashboard settings and set the option "Switch to view when resumed" to "Applications view". Then it should switch to this view, each time xfdashboard is called while running in daemon mode. Regards, Stephan
I want to see the menu only when I press on the Xfce panel launcher. When I press Alt+F2, I want to see the regular or last used mode (normal behavior).
Ok, you want to overwrite your configured view to restore on resume in the settings temporarily and once. I like this idea :) But I think it would be better that to add a more general option like "--view <view's internal name>" to the command-line instead of an option called "--menu" for the applications view which is to special for one case. So in your case you would have to add "--view applications-view" to the command-line. Yeah, I think I can do that ;) I will update this bug report when this new option has landed in git.
Thanks.
