Separators in XML

[LazY Puppy]

Hi.

Anyone knows how to create a true separator item in a AppInfo.xml file (RoxApps XML) ?

Currently I'm using a fake separator item:

Code: Select all

<!-- Separator -->
<Item icon="noicon" option="-noaction">
	<Label></Label>
</Item>

Though, would like to use a true separator item instead.

Thanks.

Not me!

But perhaps a good search engine will bring you closer to your goal?
Such as...

Good luck!

I searched the web already for this. Couldn't find anything that works in the AppInfo.xml file of a RoxApp.

I'd tried everything that I could find related to separators and xml. Nothing worked!

Crap AppInfo.xml file. The JWM xml files can handle separators very well.

Even the "EXPERTS" from IRC chat #rox couldn't give any useful clue. One mentioned the xml files at /etc/xdg/menus. Of course he even didn't understand a minimum of what I was asking for.

After appr. one hour or so I was leaving the chat by message:

Ok, I see. Lots of experts over here.

Pure Joy!

OK, you are using a fake item, but this gets you a nice, true separator, so where is the problem?
There is no separator tag documented. Most likely there is none.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AppInfo>
  <AppMenu>
    <Item option="-p=Default">
      <Label>Enable pinboard</Label>
    </Item>

	<Item><Label></Label></Item>

    <Item option="-p=">
      <Label>Disable pinboard</Label>
    </Item>
  </AppMenu>
</AppInfo>

The problem is:

- when scrolling through the menu by keyboard, it is taken as an item, while a true separator will be skipped
- needs to define a No-Action action (otherwise a click on that fake separator executes the default action at *) ;; in AppRun)

<!-- Separator -->
<Item icon="noicon" option="-noaction">
<Label></Label>
</Item>

# The-RoxAppMenu-Separator-Item - do not change or remove this !!!
-noaction) # No Action for the fake separator item
echo "Separator clicked" >/dev/null
;;

Using this for years now, though just thought to update this somehow...

Yes, you are right. Not so nice after all

My first thought was to create a multiline label

Code: Select all

    <Item option="-p=Default">
      <Label>Enable pinboard
---------------------</Label>
    </Item>

This would avoid the problems you mentioned but would not look great.

I think I will stay with my "solution".
