# Standaard favoriete toepassingen instellen

Favorite applications are those visible on the GNOME Shell dash. You can use dconf to set favorite applications for one user, or to set the same favorite applications for all users. For both cases, you must first edit the dconf profile found in /etc/dconf/profile/user.

# Verschillende favoriete toepassingen instellen voor verschillende gebruikers

You can set the default favorite applications for each user by modifying their user database via gsettings. The following example command sets Text Editor, Terminal and Files (nautilus) as default favorites for a user.

## Inhoud van /etc/dconf/profile/user:

# Door deze regel kan de gebruiker de standaardfavorieten later wijzigen user-db:user

Set Text Editor, Terminal and Files as default favorites:

    # gsettings set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps "['org.gnome.TextEditor.desktop', 'org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop']"

You can also lock down the above settings to prevent users from changing them.

# Dezelfde favoriete toepassingen instellen voor alle gebruikers

In order to have the same favorites for all users, you must modify system database files using dconf keyfiles. The following steps edit the dconf profile and then create a keyfile to set default favorite applications for all users in the `local` configuration database.

## De favoriete toepassingen instellen

Create the key file /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-favorite-apps to provide information for the local database.

## Inhoud van /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-favorite-apps:

# Snippet sets gedit, terminal and nautilus as default favorites for all users [org/gnome/shell] favorite-apps = ['gedit.desktop', 'gnome-terminal.desktop', 'nautilus.desktop']

To prevent the user from overriding these settings, create the file /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/favorite-apps with the following content:

## /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/favorite-apps

# Vergrendel de standaard favoriete toepassingen /org/gnome/shell/favorite-apps
