7 # This script, made for users of Window Maker (http://windowmaker.info) is to
8 # be used along with KDE (http://www.kde.org).
11 # The default directory, /usr/share/applnk, will contain various
12 # sub-directories such as Development, Editors, Internet, etc. If for some
13 # reason, you wish to use an alternate (parent) directory that contains the
14 # various applnk files, it can be specified on the command line.
16 # The directory, if an alternate is specified, MUST be a parent directory to
17 # any/all sub-directories.
19 # Usage: kde2wmaker.pl [ Options... ]
23 # -d <KDE App.kdelnk dir>
24 # -f <output menufile>
25 # -t <X terminal application>
27 # When the script is run, it will write out a proper Window Maker "External
28 # Menu" entry, that can be included in the menu. When the External Menu has
29 # been correctly configured, the root menu will display a sub-menu containing
30 # all of the KDE related items found. The script only needs to be run when/if
34 # Installation and Configuration:
36 # 1) If /usr/bin/perl is not the location of the perl binary on your system,
37 # the first line should be changed to reflect upon it's location.
39 # 3) Configure Window Maker's menu by editing ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu
40 # This could be done with any text editor, or by using WPrefs. Insert
41 # the following line (if done with a text editor) into the WMRootMenu file.
42 # ("External Menu", OPEN_MENU, "$HOME/.kde2wmaker.menu"),
43 # If done using WPrefs, simply "Add External Menu" from the drop down menu,
44 # then type: $HOME/.kde2wmaker.menu into the "Menu Path/Directory List"
46 # 4) Some KDE entries, such as "Pine" will require a terminal to
47 # execute it. There is a terminal variable below. You may use any
48 # terminal, XTerm is the default. Any command line options such as:
49 # -fg -bg, etc. can be specified in this variable as well.

55 #---------------------------------------------------------------------
57 # v1.2.0 -- 14th February 2001.
59 # Added alphabetic sorting of the menus.
61 # Directories are now displayed before files in the menu.
63 #---------------------------------------------------------------------
65 # v1.1.5 -- 3rd February 2001. (No public release)
67 # Unsupported applnk files have a fallback entry in the menu tree so
68 # that users can report menu entries that do not work. So far,
69 # wkdemenu.pl assumes that there is an Exec= line in the application
70 # definition, which is not always the case.
72 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
74 # v1.1.0 -- 29th January 2001.
76 # Code cleanup and bug fixes.
78 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
80 # v1.0.0 -- 21st January 2001.
82 # This script has been completely re-written to allow recursion of the
83 # KDE menu directories to an arbitrary depth, fixing a major
84 # functional limitation in the original script. To do this, I have
85 # rewritten the code to traverse directories recursively, introducing
86 # a subroutine, process_dir() to carry out the task.
88 # wkdemenu.pl provides an excellent extension to the user interface in
89 # Window Maker, working well with the "Generated Submenu" feature.
92 # Summary of New Features
93 # -----------------------
95 # Added support for menus of arbitrary depth.
97 # Added basic internationalisation based on KDE's language
98 # setting. The language is taken from "~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals"
101 # Corrected the generation of menu names, incorporating
102 # internationalisation, where appropriate.
104 # Changed the double quotes to two single quotes in application names
105 # so that they do not break the Menu parser in Window Maker.
107 # Stripped off the arguments to commands on the Exec= line, except in
108 # a few KDE specific cases (e.g. kfmclient). The extra options are
109 # only usable by KDE and were preventing many applications from
110 # launching, since they could parse the option %c or %s, for example.
111 # This "feature" will probably need a more formal or interactive way
112 # of specifying exceptions in the future.
114 # Added a command line option for specifying the X terminal to
115 # use. This still defaults to xterm, but could be used to specify
118 # Malcolm Cowe, malk@271m.net.
120 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
125 # Programmatically determine the system location for the KDE menu
128 # Find a better way to parse the Exec= lines. In the short term,
129 # provide a user mechanism for generating exceptions to the curtailing
130 # of command line options. In the longer term, emulate what KDE does
131 # with these command line features.
133 # Optimise the code. This is my first proper PERL script, and I'm sure
134 # there's a better way. =)
