Hello all. This menu creator script is in a state of flux! Changes: -- In addition to the categories discovered by grep at the beginning, the main categories from Freedesktop.org have been added to broaden the scope a bit. -- Check if there is anything in the submenu.lst with grep - c Category Some....

Interesting!

Were you using one of my scripts, icewm-menu-fdo, xdg-menu, or even something else?

Things went faster than expected, so here you go: a menu creator script for icewm incorporating icons. This one spreads more horizontally than the previous one as well. #!/bin/bash # /root/.icewm/lister2-icons.sh # A more sideways variant. # # Copy from this forum thread and save # at the directory ...

Thank you kindly for the remark, foxpup. I do not use the name and icon tags of the desktop files to save time in creating the menu and displaying it on screen. It also makes this script more portable for use with various window managers, with a minimum of alterations. (This being the technical reas...

Thank you for the code.
I will try it out.
I may be back with some remarks
.

Yes please!

Hi guys. Here is a new and easy menu creator script for icewm. Sorry, icewm-menu-dfo and xgd-menu! :twisted: Everything is in the script, so please read the remarks. Thanks. Basically all written in bash, with a bit of awk and grep. Enjoy! #!/bin/bash # /root/.icewm/lister.sh # Copy from this forum ...

TWIMC, here are the desktop categories icewm-menu-fdo recognizes. Extracted from the executable with hexdump -C /usr/bin/icewm-menu-fdo then, long story short, fiddling with awk -F"|" '{print $2}' icewm-menu-fdo.categs > icewm-menu-fdo.categs-proper and cat icewm-menu-fdo.categs-proper | t...

Thanks for this clarification, foxpup.

No disrespect or offense intended, none at all,
but I may wish to try another way of obtaining
a menu for icewm.

Thanks, fox pup.

This is weird. I incorporated your template file, typed < fixmenus >, and the
icewm menu has become worse...

Please see attached.

But no worries, let's all keep calm, the house is not on fire!
This is still a very alpha stage!

Thanks, José.

Hi. I just tripped on this while looking for something else. I had forgotten about it. Installing lesspipe could help coloring of text to some extent. https://github.com/wofr06/lesspipe.sh/archive/lesspipe.zip lesspipe is a companion script to less and provides some coloring utiltiies for less. Unpa...

You mean this application , yes? (To avoid any confusion!) yes but the latest version, the one I have on xenial 32bit works but the sync has been disabled becasue it is not the latest version, The sync only works with the latest version. Thanks! Hello memo. Ah. I was just asking. I don't know this ...

Encore merci! / ¡Gracias de nuevo!

I have everything now, I think.

Important P.S.: jwm working now! Please see attached.

It does not create a menu we Puppyists are used to, but it's still quite a workable menu. I know icewm-menu-fdo and I am not impressed. It produces a lot of overlap, a lot more than Puppy style does. The (sub)menus are not well chosen, and I don't know if you can do something about that. . Thanks f...

@foxpup: Interim report: the xdgmenus you provided are not working, even with the addition of the required libgnome-menus-2.0 library. So no menu for jwm or icewm, Puppy style. That said, I discovered that the icewm package downloaded from PPM the other day has an exec called icewm-menu-fdo, which i...

Many thanks José, you're a saviour!!!

Lassie, you're being vulgar!

Yeah, that info will save me -- and perhaps a host of other people -- the trouble.
Thanks, Mike_Walsh.
