Just contacted the man page, the correct syntax is: DestroyMenu recreate WallpaperMenu > + I PipeRead 'for i in `ls -d /home/mark/images/wallpaper/*/`; do echo > AddToMenu WallpaperMenu \\"`basename $i | sed "s/_/ /g"`\\" Popup > WallPaperMenu`basename $i` ; echo -e DestroyMenu WallpaperMenu`basename > $i`\\nAddToMenu WallpaperMenu`basename $i`\\n+ DynamicPopupAction Function > CreateWallpaperMenu2 $i WallpaperMenu`basename $i`; done' Please don't do this unless you want to spend hours debugging this. Create a shell script that you may fully test from the command line and run it using PipeRead. > + I AddToMenu WallpaperMenu "" Nop > + I AddToMenu WallpaperMenu "Recreate" Function CreateWallpaperMenu > > DestroyFunc CreateWallpaperMenu2 > AddToFunc CreateWallpaperMenu2 > + I Echo "In CreateWallpaperMenu2" > + I DestroyMenu $2 recreate $2 > + I PipeRead 'for i in `ls $1`; do echo AddToMenu $2 \\"`basename $i | sed > "s/_/ /g"`\\" Exec qiv -z $i > > CreateWallpaperMenu2 never gets called. If anyone can help (and be > able to decipher that mess :) I'd appreciate the help. Thanks! I suggest you to use fvwm-menu-directory, see its man page. This way you don't need to write any code, only supply correct options and copy/paste one or another example in the man page. Try this: DestroyFunc CreateWallpaperMenu AddToFunc CreateWallpaperMenu + I PipeRead `fvwm-menu-directory --command-file 'Exec qiv -z %f' --dir $0` DestroyMenu MyWallpapers AddToMenu MyWallpapers + MissingSubmenuFunction CreateWallpaperMenu + "Tiles" Popup $[HOME]/images/tiles + "Pictures" Popup $[HOME]/images/pictures Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
