What do you mean with "This is still archived" ?
Because plasma-custom-desktop-menu need to build a library, I can't provide an easy download method.
plasma-custom-desktop-menu is available on Arch Linux AUR, for other system, you need to build it manually but it's work very well.

Thanks for your great job! I use Version 2016.01.20.14.10.49 and it worked fine on Kubuntu 16.4. Plasma5.6
But since I changed to KDE Neon (Plasma 5.7/ Framework 5.24/ Qt-Version 5.7) there occurs a strange delay the moment of right-clicking on desktop and the opening of the Menu (+/- 3 seconds) and in Dolphin I can't open the Service-Settings anymore-> Dolphin crashes!??
Any ideas?
Edit: How to uninstall?
Resolved: I had to delete ALL installed services and Dolphin was free again to give access to services.
Isn't plasma-custom-desktop-menu compatible with Plasma 5.7/ Framework 5.24/ Qt-Version 5.7 ?
Doesn't work in Plasma 5,8 either (at least not on Debian Unstable). Installer seems to install correctly but in Debian you have to move the .desktop file as outlined in the documentation for SuSE, but when running kbuildsyscoca5 you get
"kf5.kservice.sycoca: Parse error in "/home/wizard/.config/menus/applications-merged/xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu" , line 1 , col 1 : "unexpected end of file"
kf5.kservice.sycoca: The menu spec file contains a Layout or DefaultLayout tag without the mandatory Merge tag inside. Please fix your file."
That second error message repeats about three times.
matmoul, i'm not a developer but if you have the time i might be able to help you test and if we're successful i can help write instructions for debian-based distributions like kubuntu and neon.
I just tested kbuildsyscoca5 in KDE Neon before installing my project and I receive these errors to...
After Install, I have selected the new menu in desktop parameters and the desktop has crashed.
But se second time, it work...

Thanks, this works great!
On Fedora I had to install:
gcc-c++ cmake extra-cmake-modules kf5-plasma-devel kf5-kio-devel plasma-workspace-devel qt5-qtbase-devel.
Just one remark: {favourites} don't seem to work, any ideas why?
Two other things that aren't working with plasma 5.6.4 - I was not able to add applications at the bottom of the menu or delete the default kconsole and ksysguard entries. I was able to get favorites to work by editing ~/.config/kickoffrc manually.
Also - exit options aren't working in plasma 5.6.4. Would it be possible to open up all entries for editing?
For me, on plasma 5.6.4, all working except favorites...
Waht's your version of plasma-custom-desktop-menu ?
normally 2015.09.06.18.13.58.
Check with alt+D+S, Go to mouse actions and click on the info button of Custom Desktop Menu.
Ans use the edit button to edit your menu.
Sorry, last version is 2016.01.20.14.10.49...
I just ask it because on old version default settings, command for shutdown and reboot use qdbus-qt4...
Last version use qdbus-qt5.
Actually not tested on Debian (unstable)...
If you want evolution for this, it's best to use issues on github project :

No, thanks - I ended up just hand-editing kickoffrc and plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and got the menu to do exactly what I needed it to do.
Thanks again ;)

1 Completely abandoned one it is.
I don't know why I receive this message, plasma-custom-desktop-menu is fully working... Can you explain?
This is still archived? kinda sucks, I wanted to get it :(

3 -App is abandoned. Developer does not reply to any posts.
Where are your posts ? No issue on github and no message from you on this page ???

Hello, thanks for your return on Fedora. Favorites is not usable at this time because kde-apps have changed the config file. I need to work on it...
I was able to get the menu to work by editing ~/.config/kickoffrc manually.

Will look this evening when I get home but I downloaded from the download link here - distro is Debian Unstable, though.
version is 2016.01.20.14.10.49
You need to click on your desktop before make the alt+d+s. The menu editor is shown in the third screenshot.
