A while ago I did something silly: uninstalled Styled Edit from my Haiku VM, figuring I’ll never actually need it. Now, for equally silly reasons, I wanted to check something out… but it turns out there’s no package for it in the repos. Searching for “styled”, “edit” and so on yields many other packages, except for the right one. That’s the case with pkgman, HaikuDepot, and a manual search on the site.
It’s not important, but now I’m intrigued. Is this normal? Running Haiku beta 5 64-bit, by the way.
StyledEdit is part of the Haiku package so if you deleted it it must just be a setting, probably in “/boot/system/settings.” I don’t know for sure because I never deleted StyledEdit.
edit:
I just tried, one cannot remove StyledEdit. If you customize the Deskbar applications menu you can remove it from there, but StyledEdit will remain in /boot/system/apps
Okay, fair, and in fact much like I expected. Which leads to another question: what in the world did I do back there?!
Edit: I must be very, very confused. Definitely very tired today. Styled Edit is right there in the menu. Guess I meant to remove it, found out it’s part of the base operating system files and gave up, then completely forgot about that and failed to see it in the Applications menu.
Maybe this will serve as a cautionary tale to someone. Sorry, and thanks.
