Hi By mistake I deleted all files from this directory: /usr/share/applications
Any way to restore them without full factory reset and setup/reinstall all my stuff again ? Maybe some catch files of ".desktop" files located somewhere ? :D Thanks

In theory you can try something like this:
And then for each package file in ~nemo/downloaded: rpm --replacepkgs -ivh PACKAGEFILE
You could also automate the last step but I would be little cautious on that because it modifies the system.
No batteries included and no warranty.
Already fixed all, just need to reorganize my icons. But your solution looks intresting, thanks. Will try it in the next time when I will kill my device again :)
P.S. Decided to try :D I changed a little bit your command specifically to my needs:
rpm -Va|grep missing|grep ".desktop"|awk '{print $2}' > /home/nemo/Templates/missing
cat /home/nemo/Templates/missing|xargs -n1 rpm -qif|grep Name|awk '{print $3}'|sort -u > /home/nemo/Templates/packages
xargs pkcon download /home/nemo/Templates < /home/nemo/Templates/packages

Oops! :D
Have a look in /home/nemo/.config/lipstick/applications.menu
EDIT: - I realise you may only be looking at a list and not a way to restore, but at least you should be able to see what needs to be downloaded/reinstalled again - assuming the file didn't get 'blanked' when you deleted 'applications'.

Schturman ( 2015-01-14 00:15:42 +0200 )editLooks like you have much downloading and installing to do brother!, unless some really bright spark on here can come to your rescue!!, good luck, I hope you get sorted soon! :)
