Problem with menulibre

Hi, I have problem with menulibre in Arch Linux, as the linked image shows menulibre doesn't works correctly, no right menu and for each selected item doesn't shows the properties.

Launching menulibre from terminal in verbose mode says:

[ giagio@archlinux: ~ ]$ menulibre -v
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/menulibre/MenuEditor.py:28: PyGIWarning: GMenu was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('GMenu', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import GdkPixbuf, Gio, GLib, GMenu, Gtk
DEBUG:menulibre: set_up_logging() 'logging enabled'
DEBUG:menulibre: __init__() 'Using menu: /home/giagio/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu'
DEBUG:menulibre: block() 'Blocking history updates'
DEBUG:menulibre: unblock() 'Unblocking history updates'
DEBUG:menulibre: block() 'Blocking history updates'
DEBUG:menulibre: unblock() 'Unblocking history updates'

What's the matter with this utility?

Thanks.

Re: Problem with menulibre

This is probably related to your other thread and the issues you are having with your locale. If the following works:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 menulibre

...then make sure that your locale is properly set up.

Re: Problem with menulibre

As Arch wiki says about locale I've modified /etc/locale.conf adding:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

now menulibre partially works:

menulibre partially works

but still missing some xfce4 menu items such as Web Browser, Mail Reader, Settings Manager, etc.

Any ideas?

Re: Problem with menulibre

Try resetting things.
Close menulibre. Rename /home/giagio/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu. Restart menulibre.

Menulibre is one option for editing menus. Other options include alacarte, xame or doing it by hand. If you search these forums you'll find a number of threads about menu editors causing problems. I'm not sure what the concensus is about which is best, but I do all my menu editing by hand.
