Description: Lancelot is an ALI (application launcher interface) for KDE 4 designed to provide a place from which all your jobs begin. It provides quick access to applications, places, documents, contacts and system information.
It is a part of KDE since 4.2, so you should have it in your distribution's package repository. It should be in kdeplasma-addons package.

Second problem is continuous, the options to turn off and block session are cutted.
how to add the new submenu in the lancelot with the command to save session ?... i cant find the command to command line in kde4 OR will be there at some time?
Hi. I use qt45 and I see that lancelot has some bugs with it. I know there is a patch for lancelot source (AFAIK it has already been applied to SVN source), but I am not able to compile lancelot. I've satisfied all the dependencies (I think so), but it fail at the 'cmake' command.

You're trying to compile kdeplasma-addons, and you haven't downloaded them all. Or it appears to be the case.
My suggestion is to wait for KDE 4.3 which will be released very soon.

... or in a similar way, dividing it into administration and, and, and whatever the other is... system?... Would also be nice if personal organization isn't possible.
Keep up the work!
Hello! If it would be possible to shrink the icons I would certainly appreciate that. Hate scrolling. Doesn't let me overlook everything the way I prefer.
Not without removing the description part of an item.

Hi,
I've installed Lancelot and everything was fine until I synchronized contact in Kopete with KAddressBook via Kopete metacontacts. When I did it, every synchronized contacts in the Lancelot tab disappeared like offline and only not-connected contacts were shown. Does anyone have this issue too? I know it's not major issue, but I like things working :)
Thanks for any idea!

I like it better than the default for KDE5 Plasma.

See above. Cheers!
Aaaiight! thanks for your answers. Will read more careful and use the correct threads in the future. Keep up the good work mr. Lancelot! Anders
...without having to reopen lancelot everytime would be a bliss.
See http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2009/04/21/plasmadataengine-gmail-keep-open-lancelot/
For me, the multimedia, system and internetfolders are very large. Would it be possible to personally rearrange the order in them?
This solely depends on your distribution and you. Right click Lancelot icon, and start the Menu Editor.
Hello! If it would be possible to shrink the icons I would certainly appreciate that. Hate scrolling. Doesn't let me overlook everything the way I prefer.

this is a known issue that i can not do much about at the moment. will investigate later.
Anyone know how to get this working with qt4.5 ? it seems to use 100% cpu
no such problem here... tho I can't seem to get the keyboard shortcut to work... which is really annoying //Robert
same problem. kde 4.2, qt 4.5
usability in its usable meaning! very good idea, thank you!
Great work! Thanks!
i would like an option for alphabetizing sections/categories & menu entries.
I am a Linux Newbie, and I just wanted to say that I really like this App.
