lsdesktop #

lsdesktop.c

On peut l'utiliser pour générer un menu dans fluxbox :

#!/bin/sh
# Licence MIT
# author: prx <prx@si3t.ch>
# fill ~/.config/lsdesktop.exclude with files to
# ignore. Example : 
# $ cat ~/.config/lsdesktop.exclude
# xdvi.desktop
# mimeinfo.desktop
# put menus in ~/.fluxbox/automenus/

cachedir="${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-"$HOME/.cache"}"
cache="$cachedir/lsdesktop.cache"
menudir=$HOME/.fluxbox/automenus/
desktopfilespath="$HOME/.local/share/applications \
/usr/local/share/applications\
/usr/share/applications"

fluxboxmenu()
{
    OLDIFS=$IFS
    IFS=':'
    while read -r c n cmd; do
        echo "[exec] (${n}) {${cmd}}"
    done 
    IFS=$OLDIFS
}

# update application list
if [ ! -f "${cache}" -o -n "$(find ${desktopfilespath} -newer ${cache} 2>/dev/null)" ]
then
    lsdesktop -s ':'  > ${cache}
    mkdir -p $menudir
    # a menu file for each categories
    grep "^Graphics" ${cache}    | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/graphics.menu
    grep "^Development" ${cache} | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/development.menu
    grep "^Settings" ${cache}    | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/settings.menu
    grep "^System" ${cache}      | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/system.menu
    grep "^Utility" ${cache}     | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/utility.menu
    grep "^Game" ${cache}        | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/game.menu
    grep "^Network" ${cache}     | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/network.menu
    grep "^Office" ${cache}      | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/office.menu
    grep "^Multimedia" ${cache}  | fluxboxmenu > $menudir/multimedia.menu

Ou encore avec dmenu :

#!/bin/sh
# Licence MIT
# author: prx <prx@si3t.ch>
# print a list of available .desktop files in dmenu
# works well with dmenu mouse patch
# https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/mouse-support/

# require lsdesktop
# https://si3t.ch/code/lsdesktop/
##
# fill ~/.config/lsdesktop.exclude with files to

# xdvi.desktop
# mimeinfo.desktop

cachedir="${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-"$HOME/.cache"}"
cache="$cachedir/ddesktop"
desktopfilespath="$HOME/.local/share/applications /usr/local/share/applications"

if [ ! -f "${cache}" -o -n "$(find ${desktopfilespath} -newer ${cache} 2>/dev/null)" ]
then
    lsdesktop -s '::' | cut -d'::' -f2- | column -t -s '::' > ${cache}
