Hi,
I've a question and a suggestion regarding to DIALOG2.
1) DIALOG menu
There's a discrepancy of the result output. If you execute the menu example:
"$DIALOG" menu --items '({title = foo;}, {separator = 1;}, {header=1; title =
bar;}, {title = baz;})'
and choose the item 'foo', it returns this:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>title</key>
<string>foo</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Ok.
BUT if you choose 'baz':
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>separator</key>
<string>1</string>
</dict>
</plist>
This makes it rather difficult to parse the output plist.
Should I fix this to output always:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>title</key>
<string>“chosen string”</string>
</dict>
</plist>
?
2) Output format for “alert”, “menu”
Esp. for bash coding it's an 'overkill' to return a plist which has to be
parsed etc. to get the chosen item. How about to add an option “--output” to
specify the output format?
The default would be as it is "as plist".
for alert:
--output index
would simply return the chosen button index
for menu:
--output title
would simply return the chosen menu item title
--output index
would simply return the chosen menu item index [incl. separator, header]
then sometimes only the index is needed for post-processing
Regards,
--Hans
