fluxMenu

After a while, I made and committed some updates, most notably Edit->Fill icons which tries to fill proper icons to all submenus and execs in the menu. I tried it a few times and it seems to work quite well. Also some bugs were fixed in this revision.

I will make a .tar.gz of the current version soon, I just want to make some more progress with it first. Also it may soon have an installer and everything :p

P.S. I disabled comments on this site, because I got nothing but spam from it. I still would like to have patches/feature requests/bug reports etc on this software by email.

As you may or may have not noticed, this project has been going very very slowly last few months… or almost a year now… It does not mean that I’m going to forget this, the only reason for this slow progress is me doing my military service until january. After that I should have more time to work again on this project.

I’ve done some small changes now and then, you can grab them from the svn, as always

Hi.

I just finished doing some changes and felt like this could be ready to be released. So here it is:
fluxMenu revision 24

It has some bug fixes, a little better error handling and the generate-button can now be used Too bad there is not yet way to save config and some other things I must do. But it works and is better than before. Enjoy!

And big thanks to errr for making this pyDoc compatible

EDIT: This was quite an easy task, so it should be fixed in svn now. If it works like it should, you can just run it like any other programs, without the “cd”. /home/zan/Projects/fluxmenu/fluxMenu.py is enough.

EDIT2: I was tired when writing that… Of course you should use fluxmenu to add the program, and the correct command would be

cd /home/zan/Projects/fluxmenu && python fluxMenu.py

But grab the latest svn where that is fixed and it should be runnable with just browsing to fluxMenu.py.

I got a mail today in which an user asked how to add fluxmenu into fluxbox’s menu. I have forgotten about this thing as I found out a solution to it and then it just.. well I just forgot to make it work from anywhere.

Anyways, add a line like this to your menu:

[exec] (Fluxbox Menu Editor) {cd /home/zan/Projects/fluxmenu && python fluxMenu.py}

Where the path /home/zan/Projects/fluxmenu is of course where you untarred fluxmenu (the directory in which fluxMenu.py is). Then it should work fine.

Waiting for the next release…. if I just had more free time… damn studies

I’ve committed some new revisions to svn, there has been quite a long pause because I started my studies again and I have been very busy because of that. I will still continue developing this, currently thinking about the configuration-system.

Please, if you have any suggestions or bugreports or anything, don’t hesitate to throw me an email: zan (at) users (dot) berlios (dot) de

Once more: you can grab fluxMenu (it is executable straight after downloading) like this:

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/fluxmenu/trunk fluxmenu && cd fluxmenu

I just uploaded Svn revision 16 of fluxMenu for download. It is in .tar.gz and can be run with python after uncompression.
It can be downloaded from here

Also here is a little old screenshot of it. The gui has changed very little after taking that, so it is still up to date.

I got my database updated on berlios.de today, so now I have these pages for fluxMenu up and running.
Too bad I have to go to sleep now, otherwise I would upload the current revision of fluxMenu immediately and add some more content to these pages.
While you wait for that to happen, you can always grab the latest svn with following command:

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/fluxmenu/trunk fluxmenu && cd fluxmenu

Good night everyone.

P.S. Don’t forget to check out fluxStyle. It’s a neat style for changing styles in FluxBox
