This is a little widget I came up with using gtkdialog for use in other scripts. It allows you to select a program from a list. based on it's menu category, or by using a file selector. This is used in Grafpup's "defaultprograms" and in the latest version of the wallpaper setter which is also in Puppy. By itself this program has little value but in conjunction with other scripts allows for a nice way to choose a default program for a certain task. It is run with the following syntax:
The "default text" will appear in the entry box when the program is launched, the icon will be the icon appearing in the corner of the window and in the taskbar, the category is the category to search for, and the second category will be excluded from the search. Whatever is in the entry box when the program is closed will be returned to stdout. This builds the program list by searching through the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications. Questions just ask. Nathan

Updated to version 0.3. Fixed nls support, added translations for dutch, french, german, italian, russian, and spanish. Translations not gauranteed accurate, most were done by myself using Google translate. Volunteer translators welcome. Also you can now filter the program list using more than one category to search for, by separating them with a '|' character. Example -
