I hope so because neither entry for MX Tools in the Whisker menu works. I will wait for the update that fixes it.
I am command line illiterate. :confused: I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list. :mad:

Just checked. No new updates. Still have two MX Tools entry in the Whisker menu that neither work. MX Tools works if I go through Settings.

so do you have any custom menus to remove under ~/.config/menus? at least the default one that is mentioned in the blog post.

I didn't add any custom menus. I have two MX Tools in the Whisher menu. I don't understand what is and where is "~/.config/menus?" :confused:

~ is short for your home folder. can also be designated $HOME or /home/$USER

in your home folder is a hidden folder .config/menus that contains a folder called applications-merged. if you haven't made any custom edits, then you can remove that folder. that should resolve the double menu entry.

Just to be clear, the application "MX Tools" under the category "MX Tools" (of which you see two) in the Whisker menu isn't working, or you're not seeing the separate applications under the category?
