Office suites as Favorites

jaap · 2021-06-27 14:08

Dear ALL,

I have recently installed Q4OS. In these few days, I learned a lot. I have also been liking Q4OS each step forward.

But there is one simple thing I was not able either to do by myself , nor find some instruction .

How to include Office suites as "Favorites" on Start menu?

I have both Libre and KOT installed. None of them accept such config.

Thanks in advance for any help you may offer me.

Here is how I do that with Plasma:
- if you can find the program shortcut in the menu hierarchy, right-click on it and select the option to add it to the favorites;
- otherwise right-click on the menu and choose the option to edit the applications.

Hi!

My choice of DE is Trinity, not Plasma.

JAAP> By selecting the Menu edition I have no option to configure one specific app to "Favorites", neither access to "Otional Menus" selection box (also, grey and locked).

So, thanks for the sugestions but they are not working for me.

Just click with right mouse button on a desired application in the menu and add it to favorites

Hi, Q4OS Team! Thanks!

As said in my answer to hchiper:

JAAP> It does not work. I can find the shortcut, but by right-clicking on it I got the option "Add to Favorites" not accepting to be selected (grey and locked).

For OTHER programs/applications, such option is working well, I mean, I can right click and add to favorites effectively.

But it is BLOCKED for Offices (the suites) and also each one of its components (text, spreadsheets, etc.).

We are not able to reproduce the issue, LibreOffice can be added to favorites as well as other shortcuts from start menu. Please post more detailed information about your system, see https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3502 . A screenshot would be most helpful too.

Follows a 3 screen picture: (a) left is Libre Office, blocked; (b) center is KOT, blocked; (c) right is VLC, OK.
