LiveCode Forums

I'm running Livecode on Linux Mint 14, and have updated from 6.1.3 to 6.5 (rc6) and then 6.5.1
Under "Programming" on the Mint menu, I now have a shortcut to each of these three versions. Does anyone know if there is a way to just have the most recent install listed?

I'm not sure if this would be a matter of uninstalling the other two versions (or removing the directory they are in)?
Under my home directory, there are files for .local/share/applications/runrev-livecodecommunity_<version>.desktop and a corresponding .png for each version.

Thanks in advance

Hi BranFlayk,

I use Lubuntu and recently have to uninstall manually
the release candidate, before installing latest stable
version.

More or less, I follow these steps:

To remove an old version of LiveCode, I visited the folder:
/opt/runrev
and deleted the old LiveCode version, but the icon of this version
still appears in the Lubuntu's programming menu.

I visited the folder: /usr/share/applications
and erased the deleted application icon.

This may depend on which desktop environment you're running, but try right+click on the the icon that displays the application menu. Gnome 2 under Mint 9 shows an "Edit menu" item. Under openSUSE and KDE I get "Edit Applications". These functions allow you to hide or delete items from the application menu.

Thanks for your replies.
Right-click on Menu lets me edit it, and under Programming I can then un-select the other versions. I'd been trying to right click on the indiviual items previously and not having much luck.

I will also try the other option to delete the oldest version later.

Hi friends,

since this is definitively platform specific, i will move the thread to the appropriate LINUX forum

Klaus, how do moderators move posts to other threads? I've wanted to do that a few times but couldn't find the option for it.

Hi Richard,

please note the "Quick-mod tools:" and the option menu at the bottomright of this page

As we say here in the States: D'oh!



Thanks, Klaus.

Well . . . if, when you install, you click on the "Me Only" install the Livecode versions install in an invisible folder called ".runrev" inside your 'Home' folder.

Inside the installation folder (if you install for all users, it's under /opt/runrev) there are folders for each installed version.
Within each folder is a hidden file named .setup.x86.
You can uninstall a particular version by bringing up a terminal window, navigating to the directory for the version you want to delete, and typing

./.setup.x86 -uninstall

That will both uninstall the selected version and remove it from the menu.

This works in my setup:
sudo /home/yourlinuxusername/.runrev/components/livecodecommunity-8.1.0-dp-1.x86_64/setup.x86_64
