I accidentally removed whiskermenu-1.rc

SOLVED: I think I didn't do anything wrong, just wrong time wrong place. Xfce 4.16 came then I thought I broke something xD
Don't ask me how I did, long story. Now everything looks weird. My favorites are gone. Isn't there a spare config file?

Better yet, can someone pls send me that file as text, its totally text anyway. I'd incorrect it by hand.

Looks like if you delete / move it and rebooted you'd get a new default one auto - generated. Or delete / move and restart the panel:

Or failing that there are some on GitHub from various projects e.g.:

If you back up with fsync or something now and again to another drive then it's less of a problem to recover your config when this kind of thing happens! Still, good practice to redo it no doubt.  ;D

Get it from the presets package:
