xdgmenumaker enabled for pekwm
Posted: 15. Jan 2014, 19:23
Expand the usability of xdgmenumaker to produce apps submenus for pekwm:
line 365 from github ver 0.4 xdgmenumaker/src/xdgmenumaker, insert:
line 82 insert:
and probably amend the usage function.
I have mainly copied this code from an old pekwm menu maker from Fedora and/or somwhere at googlecode. I use this in my pekwm desktop.
Whoever uses pekwm (similarly with fluxbox) probably knows this produces only the applications submenu since those WMs have other functions in their main menus (themes/wallpaper selectors, logout and window management items). There is no all-in-one solution for pekwm menus anywhere.
So, the usual usage could be to either:
enter this item into ~/.pekwm/menu:
INCLUDE = "/home/your_username/.pekwm/appsmenu"
than:
/usr/bin/xdgmenumaker -i -f pekwm > ~/.pekwm/appsmenu
(and repeat this step anytime you install something new)
or:
add an entry to ~/.pekwm/appsmenu:
Entry = "" { Actions = "Dynamic /usr/bin/xdgmenumaker -i -f pekwm" }
to make it dynamic at expense of running it everytime you invoke the menu.
I hope Gapan finds this usable. I apologize for sugesting the code this way as I don't know how to attach the diff nor I'm at github.
