Learning GtkDialog (hopefully) -- and I have questions...

Hi Starhawk,

Is the script already supposed to run?
I tried it in Quirky Tahr, but it refuses to start up.
Looked briefly at your code and could not find the reason.
Could be me though, not seeing the obvious :)

Anyway, great start of what looked like a crazy endeavor at first!

Bert -- not sure why it didn't work* -- it /should/ run -- obviously it needs debugging!

Can you see anything in the code that would either (a) not work as needed or (b) not work at all? The idea is that it reads through the pile of *.desktop files at /usr/share/applications and compiles a list, which it then categorizes and dumps into a set of text files. (The text files are later read by the Launcher app, which should be fun...)

*I have a hunch, actually. I wrote it in pristine Slacko 56 -- meaning boot from RAM, with work saved to a flash drive, lol -- so maybe Quirky has a different GtkDialog version?

In your script, you probably need to change

if [ `$i".desktop" |

to

if [ `cat $i".desktop" |

You can see it running if you launch it from console. :wink:

Code: Select all

# ./laun*
Rebuilding SmallScreen Launcher application-list files...
./launcher-refresh.sh: line 51: Abiword-wordprocessor.desktop: command not found
./launcher-refresh.sh: line 51: ALSA-sound-Wizard.desktop: command not found
./launcher-refresh.sh: line 51: Bcrypt-file-encryption.desktop: command not found
./launcher-refresh.sh: line 51: BootFlash-usb-installer.desktop: command not fou...................

Code: Select all

# egrep --help | grep egrep
Usage: egrep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Example: egrep -i 'hello world' menu.h main.c
Invocation as 'egrep' is deprecated; use 'grep -E' instead.
#
hope that helps.
