Hi there everyone!
I'm having problems understanding how to add or edit entries in the new menu. I'm looking at the prepend file and I see how to run a command but often the places I'd like an entry to be, it's pulling from a pipe menu file and I don't know how to modify that.
For instance, I'd like to add an entry in the development submenu. I would like an entry titled "Bootstrap Studio" that runs the command "~/.scripts/BootstrapStudio.AppImage --no-sandbox" . How would I go about doing this?
Thanks for your time!

You can either edit the files in ~/.config/jgmenu or create a .desktop file
To add an entry to the part of the menu you’re referring to, add a .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications
Take one from /usr/share/applications as a template

Or copy the relevant pipemenu to ~/bin, and add whichever menuItem you want, in the appropriate place.

In this particular case you're looking at a submenu of the dynamically-generated "Applications" menu, so I think @malm's suggestion of creating a .desktop file would be the way to go. If you use the file associated with one of the apps thet already appears in "Development" as a template it shouldn't be too hard.
OTOH for other pipemenus which are bash scripts, then follow @damo's advice to create a personal copy, and edit it.
