The Customize Menu

I am really starting to like Rox.  I have been
customizing it little by little.

The problem I have now is knowing how to add an entry
to Customize Menu.  It seems that the only option is
to symlink to an app.  

Can you write a shell command and add that to the
menu.  For instance, I would like an option in my menu
to enqueque in xmms.

hope I made sense

That should work just fine.  Did you try it?

It's perhaps worth clarifying a few things;

First of all, we're actually talking about the 'Send To' menu - 
presumably as it's applied to the 'right-click on a file menu'.

Selecting 'Customise menu...' from that menu will open a Filer window 
showing the relevant part of the 'Send To...' menu (well, you know what 
I mean...) and show a little dialog box with the information about 
symlinking applications there.

What the OP wants, AFAICT, is to be able to have arbitrary shell 
commands there, not just symlinks to applications.

It doesn't just have to be symlinks in here, though.  When you're 
dealing with apps, etc. symlinks make most sense, but for some things 
it can be better to have, say, a shell script.   Okay, some would argue 
that the shell script should be somewhere like ~/bin, or whatever, and 
symlinked here, but it's all down to what works for the actual user 
really :)

WM_Class from AppDirs and some other features

Hi 2all,

I now use ROX as my default Desktop for a while. Wow, its a great prog with a lot of potenitial i think.

I use rox in Combination with IceWM and wanted to set some settings for my Windows. Could it be, that all Apps
started from an AppDir have the WM_class an WM_name "AppRun"? Do I something wrong? How can I set the
options for two different AppDirs?

Thanks

Yours Fabian

Normally the application should set the WM_CLASS. If you accidently want to
set  options for gDeskCal I can help you. You must open the AppDir, go to
subdir 'code', open CalWindow.py and add the following line (line 31, after
'self.set_title("gDeskCal"):

self.set_wmclass("gDeskCal", "gDeskCal")

Now restart gDeskCal and you can set your options in 'winoptions':
gDeskCal.gDeskCal.ignoreQuickSwitch: 1  

If you want it for an other app and if its python to you can tell me which
and I can lookup ...

Greetings, Daniel

I'm using App-Factory, which can be found at:
http://www.kerofin.demon.co.uk/rox/appfactory.html
It's a lot faster than these steps (although I'm not fond of these GUI
tools).

If you don't select an icon, steps are:
- one clik to launch App-Factory
- typing the command ("xmms -e")
- dragging the icon in the send-to dir

Can't be simpler :)

Thanx to Stephen Watson for this tool, by the way !

...I just gave App-Factory a try, fails on compile saying it cannot find CLib,
though I do have ~/lib/ROX-CLib-2.0.0, which compiled without errors.

I am running ROX 2.1.1, which is installed in my ~/ rather than /.

One thing I noticed, ROX-CLib says I must have 'rox_run' in my path, which I do
not. In fact, the only place I can find such an executable is:

/home/joehill/lib/ROX-CLib-2.0.0/src/rox_run.sh

Any clues for the clueless?

Okay, I misunderstood the AppFactory page, I didn't know I needed both. Problem
is now the download links for ROX-CLib are broken :-( Is it available anywhere
else?

Thanks!
