-[[preferences|Preferences]]\\ +The Application Finder is a program to find and launch installed applications on your system, and quickly execute commands. It does this by searching your file system for ''.desktop'' files, and displays a categorized list of all the GUI applications on your system. 
-Configure the behaviour of the application and create custom actions.+ 
 +<note tip>**Tip:** You can use the Application Finder to quickly add [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:launcher|launchers]] to your [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:|panel]] - simply drag an item onto your desired panel and it will automatically create a launcher for that application.</note>

 +===== Debugging Support ===== 
 + 
 +xfce4-appfinder currently supports three different levels of debugging support, 
 +which can be setup using the configure flag ''--enable-debug'' (check the output of ''configure --help''): 
 + 
 +^ Argument  ^ Description ^ 
 +|  `yes`    | This is the default for Git snapshot builds. It adds all kinds of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run slower. Use this for development of xfce4-appfinder and locating bugs in xfce4-appfinder. | 
 +| `minimum` | This is the default for release builds. **This is the recommended behaviour.** | 
 +| `no`      | Disables all sanity checks. Don't use this unless you know exactly what you do. |
