How to Hide Application from User Menu
Article Metadata
In your ApplicationName_reg.rss file you will find a structure RESOURCE APP_REGISTRATION_INFO. You need to add the following line to the resource.
...
hidden = KAppIsHidden;
...
For Qt applications, the hidden attribute cannot be set directly in the generated ApplicationName_reg.rss file since qmake would overwrite it each time the project is built. Instead, add a RSS_RULES statement to the ApplicationName.pro file
...
RSS_RULES += "hidden = KAppIsHidden;"
...
This application will be a hidden application, and it will not be shown in the Applications list.
Example ApplicationName_reg.rss file
RESOURCE APP_REGISTRATION_INFO
{
app_file="HelloWorldBasic";
localisable_resource_file = STRING_r_helloworldbasic_loc_resource_file_1;
localisable_resource_id = R_HELLOWORLDBASIC_LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO;
hidden = KAppIsHidden;
embeddability=KAppNotEmbeddable;
newfile=KAppDoesNotSupportNewFile;
}
