Sure. ppurka is fine with me :D > This is NOT the first time you have selflessly offered your scripting > skills for my benefit.

Well, I am not so sure that the e17_setup.sh script is of much use now. enlightenment_remote has been "retired" and now things are being moved over to dbus based commands. The current enlightenment_remote is just a scripted wrapper to dbus and supports only a small subset of the commands of the earlier enlightenment_remote. That said, feel free to forward the link,- it will remain as long as google does not remove it. > Now about the "part" of another of your scripts (below)...

No clue how it works. Though I can deduce it's purpose. displaymessage is my own banal script which acts as a wrapper to either of kdialog, Xdialog, gxmessage or xmessage. It tries in that order to find one of those programs and executes that program. You can look up the webpages/manpages of those programs and you will see that the options they take are very similar to above. > So since a nice C programmer once gifted me with a getchr.c utility And I'm > more comfortable with using echo, case and getchr, I'd probably have > accomplished something like the above with: > > # begin code > # Query the image quality > echo "What is the quality of screenshot you desire? > > Type a 'P' for Lossless Quality (png) > - or - > Type a 'J' for Lossy Quality (jpeg) > > Select Quality of screenshot > " > QUALITY="$(getchr [jJpP])" > case $QUALITY in > j|J)QUALITY="jpeg";; > p|P)QUALITY="png";; > *)echo "input error"; > exit;; > esac > # end code > > Did I correctly deduce what your "displaymessage" construct does??? Yes, except I have kept everything on a GUI level with displaymessage :P > Actually I've cobbled together the script I'm going to be using for this. > I decided to use a true cli based model rather than using interactive > choices.
