But unless you're going to link ivman in with this, I assume you're going to hard-code this (i.e., the assumption is the CD drives will be mounted already?) > those 'cd drives' entry popup a 'media' dynamic menu > in the 'media' dynamic menu i have a browser entry, > make iso entry, blank cd entry, track entry, etc.. which needs to popup menu > etc, etc.. Right -- again you can do this with MissingSubMenuFunction where you include these "make iso" items along with this menu in addition to anything fvwm-menu-directory can create for you, or you just hard-code a static menu with just the options you've mentioned. > i need to keep the name, and not only the name, i need to pass > a variable from menu to menu. No, you need to pass an action to each *item* in that menu -- again, see fvwm-menu-directory. > idealy my variable is kind of: bashFuncName_argToThisFunc > so the MissingSubmenuFunction give this variable (the $0) to a pipe for .sh > wich call > bashFuncName "argToThisFunc" So, fvwm-menu-directory? > the bashFuncName could now build a new menu containing whatever needed etc, > etc..

I'm no expert, but I think fvwm-menu-directory might help. And would you believe it, I really don't have time to demonstrate it either -- but as luck would have it, it has a good man page. Oh, you could also go for broke and just use: Exec exec rox-filer OR: Exec exec nautilus ... why reinvent the wheel? :) -- Thomas Adam
Re: FVWM: MissingSubmenuFunction or Piperead or bash simple problem...
sorry for the broken thread, never use mailing list before, hope this time it's good, will stop use it if not. what i want to do: a first dynamic menu list my cd drives. those 'cd drives' entry popup a 'media' dynamic menu in the 'media' dynamic menu i have a browser entry, make iso entry, blank cd entry, track entry, etc.. which needs to popup menu etc, etc.. i need to keep the name, and not only the name, i need to pass a variable from menu to menu. idealy my variable is kind of: bashFuncName_argToThisFunc so the MissingSubmenuFunction give this variable (the $0) to a pipe for .sh wich call bashFuncName "argToThisFunc" the bashFuncName could now build a new menu containing whatever needed etc, etc.. and my basic browser is a good simple exemple of that, passing path from menu to menu. hope it helps understand, not that easy..

Am I right in guessing you want to do something like fvwm-menu-directory but you want to include sub-directories? First tell us, do you want the sub-directories in sub-menus OR do you want one menu listing files AND sub-directories?

Brilliant. Not only have you not replied to your original thread, and then broken it by creating a new one (this one I am now forced to reply to), it seems you also can't explain what it is you are wanting to do. Either way, until then, good luck. -- Thomas Adam

oh, the problem is not to use fvwm directory menu, i do, the problem is that i want to use MissingSubmenuFunction for some other things. i've recreate this little browser because i know that it should work and perfectly represent what i need (get a variable from menu to menu finally..kind of.. :) ). thanks for the reply anyway!

2009/9/20 alexworld : > DestroyFunc CdromExploreMenuList > AddToFunc CdromExploreMenuList > + I PipeRead "/root/.fvwm/test2.sh \"$0\"" This is where I would just scrap that and use: + I PipeRead `fvwm-menu-directory -d "$0" --exec-file ^something --exec-title ^something-else --check-subdir --links` ... using the tools FVWM gives you is always the better option, don't you think? -- Thomas Adam
FVWM: MissingSubmenuFunction or Piperead or bash simple problem...
hi all, i have a small script, kind of menu directory once reducted to trace, but it can't go to deeper than first directory, and i've looking real much at this but don't find the solution. output is really, really similar to fvwm-menu-directory, at least in console. #___ AddToMenu test_menu MissingSubmenuFunction CdromExploreMenuList + "Home" Popup "$[HOME]" + "/" Popup "/" DestroyFunc CdromExploreMenuList AddToFunc CdromExploreMenuList + I PipeRead "/root/.fvwm/test2.sh \"$0\"" #_ #!/bin/bash #stop fight with spaces in names IFS=$'\n' file_browser="dolphin" dir_name=`echo $1 | sed 's|.*/||'` echo 'DestroyMenu recreate "'$1'"' echo 'AddToMenu "'$1'"' echo '+ DynamicPopDownAction DestroyMenu "'$1'"' echo '+ MissingSubmenuFunction "CdromExploreMenuList"' echo '+ "'$dir_name'" Exec exec '$file_browser' '$1 echo '+ "" Nop' for i in `ls --group-directories-first --sort extension $1` do if [[ -d $1/$i ]] then echo '+ "'$i'" Popup "'$1'/'$i'"' else echo '+ "not dir '$i'"' fi done exit 0 first dir ok, deeper impossible. looks the most basic use of missing submenu function but.. i apologize as i'm prety sure the answer will be king of 'stupid, you're stupid' :) thanks for all!
