SimplePuppyMenu3 (spm3) is a menu system for 'menuless' wm like echinus and dwm. The menu is similar to the jwm-menu, but no icons and no differentiated subcategories. the menu itself is run via mygtkmenu. spm3 is the successor/brother of spm2 (see here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=602434). Whilst spm2 uses aemenu to display the menu, spm3 uses mygtkmenu. Reason is, the i have difficulties with running aemenu successfully in/with some windowmanagers (e.g. dwm). With mygtkmenu this does not happen. spm3 consists of only one ash-script to parse the desktop-files and generate the menu-file. It is based on the famous jwm-tools by technosaurus (many thanks). See here for more details: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70804 To make use of spm3, you should assign a keyboard-shortcut to 'spm3 -m'. how to do that depends on your wm. Update Menu and help for spm3 could also be reached from the menu itself. Some Notes: - spm3 checks only the first category of the desktop-file. - spm3 will use the text in your $LANG if available in the desktop-file. Dependency is mygtkmenu (attached). Tested in Puppy 4.31. aragon

However, for the advanced end-user, the gtkmenu entries are more complicated to understand and change than the one-line entries in aemenu. Just an observation.

True, i neither don't like the syntax. But as it's more stable, at least for me, i'll stick with mygtkmenu. aragon _________________ PUPPY SEARCH: http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html |
