System Maintenance GUI

Feedback Feature Request

A user can sort of do this already via XDG features.

I add programs (or scripts) to the XFCE Settings Manager. I put then in the Other category, certainly a Maintenance category could be created.

General Steps

  1. Copy desktop files (or create) to ~/.local/share/applications

  2. Edit desktop file, add to Categories
    X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;Settings;

Some Documentation

  1. Local file: /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-settings-manager.menu
  2. At XFCE: howto:customize-menu [Xfce Wiki]
  3. At freedesktop: menu-spec . freedesktop.org

This same concept could be carried over to the menu (i.e., XFCE Whisker Menu).

Most maintenance, it seems, once established, is automatic, and taken care of by anacron, cron or systemd timers. Most of the things I add are tools. I remapped the Super Key, so Super-S brings up XFCE System Settings.
