Whoops, leftover from testing. It should be deleted and the line
immediately following uncommented.
How are these scripts used, is it intended for the user to
double-click them or are they called by some other method?
User double-click. Myth_Frontend.app, for example, simply launches
/opt/local/bin/mythfrontend with appropriate parameters for loglevel,
verbosity and logpath. Plus, the applet icon can be dragged onto the
Dock one-click access.
Myth_Filldatabase.app and Myth_Setup.app are similar but only used
infrequently; often just when Myth is initially installed.
All of these things can still be done from Terminal--the scripts just
simplify and standardize normal operation. There are a bunch of
other executables that can be run from the command line (like
mythcommflag to identify commercial breaks in recorded TV; or
mythtranscode to re-encode from one AV format to another; etc) but,
in practice, are very seldom used. Usually they are automatically
initiated by mythbackend or by user selection within mythfrontend.
Myth_Frontend_Logging.app is a bit different. It changes the logging
parameters stored in the Myth_Frontend.app. If a user is
experiencing a problem, one of the developers may ask them to enable
detailed logging in a particular area of the program AND increase the
verbosity to 'debug'. This script is supposed to make that easier.
