Remove applications from the list in activities overview in GNOME

AlexanderHolmgaard · 2014-12-23 11:31:15

I am looking to edit which applications are listed in the "All Applications" in the activities overview in GNOME, since a lot them are NEVER used, and makes the menu look very messy.
Any clues on how to this? I installed the alacarte prog, but it can only edit the "other" menu...

Hi,

I have done it this way, but I do not think it is a very good solution. You can go to /usr/share/applications and delete the applications .desktop files that you do no want to show up in the GNOME 'All Applications'. However, I recommned not to delete but move the applications you do not want to use to another separate folder. Because, if ever you want the application you removed to show up again in 'All Applications' you can just move it back again to /usr/share/applications.

Just copy the .desktop to ~/.share/appliocations or whatever and set it to be hidden
