It would be nice if there was an application launcher available in the repository with intelligent search features like either: kupfer or gnome-do.

Tsuren made a package for Kupfer, though I don't think it's in the repos. See this post:

Mimosa - Thanks for the link. I have downloaded the package but I am not sure how I go about installing it?

In a terminal, go to the directory you downloaded to and do:

Code: Select all

$su
#installpkg kupfer.foo.txz

Then you need to get it on a menu somewhere, depending on how your Salix edition deals with that. To find out the path to the app (how the menu should launch it), do:

Code: Select all

$which kupfer
There may be other things you can do to integrate kupfer's functions further with your desktop - again it depends which one.

Meanwhile, you can always call it from the command line just by

Code: Select all

$kupfer
