I'm placed a symlink to the AppDir for The Gimp (said > AppDir having been created by the Debian menu system) in my > ~/.rox/Choices/SendTo directory, and the SendTo menu creates an entry > in the Send To menu called "The Gimp" which leads to a submenu > containing the AppDir's contents (AppRun, etc).

I symlinked /usr/apps/ROX-Filer/ into my ~/.Choices/SenTo/ and observed the same as which Stuart did w/ The Gimp. Observe for yourself (warning: png about 0.5MB. Sorry): http://www.valaran.com/~kw/sendto.png Trying to send the 109CANON dir to ROX-Filer on the SendTo menu. Hrmph. Note the white xterm which shows the layout of my SendTo. Of course symlinking /usr/apps/ROX-Filer/AppRun directly into the SendTo works, but I'd think that AppDirs would behave as AppDirs should, regardless of whether they are on the SendTo menu or in a filer window and clicked on or passed to rox on the command line. Maybe this is a version thing? I'm using 1.3.5. krjw. -- Keith R.
