App shortcuts in XFCE

[Gaijin]

I just upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2R3 and was wondering of the best way to
restore some of my App shortcuts. I use some portable apps and
executables that don't show up in the Applications shortcuts. In KDE I
was used to the Menu Editor. I'm not familiar with XFCE and didn't see a
similar option.

If you are talking about windows WITH QREXEC, then just add the shortcuts again.
You can add them to the menu using KMENUEDIT, or many other ways

Including copying the .desktop files to the new machine onto your desktop, or else into another folder and adding them directly to the menu system using kmenuedit or similar CLI interface.

I am referring to the dropdown "Q" menu that lists your various VMs and
the software in them.

I was used to the KMENUEDIT in KDE. It was easy enough to make QREXEC
shortcuts.

The new R3.2 defaults to XFCE in a clean install. I didn't see a way to
edit those menu items the same way. Sure I can add more shortcuts for
programs that are installed and generate .desktop files. The problem I'm
having is with the software or executables that don't show up in the
shortcuts list. For example, portable apps; You don't install them you
just run the .exe

Is there a KMENUEDIT GUI equivalent in XFCE in Qubes to edit those
menus?

See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/rMMgeR-KLbU/SoR4fQwsBAAJ for an example of creating a "Qubes-proper" shortcut to an arbitrary file. That example points to a .desktop file inside an AppVM, but the target can be anything that the AppVM knows how to execute.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for.
A bit more work than the KDE, but looks like it would achieve the same
result. I hope that one gets added to the Wiki.
