xfce4-appfinder - Application Finder


The Application Finder is a program to find and launch installed applications on your system, and quickly execute commands. It does this by searching your file system for .desktop files, and displays a categorized list of all the GUI applications on your system.

Tip

You can use the Application Finder to quickly add [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:launcher|launchers]] to your [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:|panel]] - simply drag an item onto your desired panel and it will automatically create a launcher for that application.</note>

This is the default for release builds. This is the recommended behaviour.

no

Disables all sanity checks. Don’t use this unless you know exactly what you do.
