No one wants to get error messages if they can be easily avoided. wmgenmenu was written precisely for this reason, it generates the root menu on the fly based on programs that are _already_ installed, nothing is imposed as dependency. You get what you have.

Many people do find it shocking, me included. We can do better than this and we already do (wmgenmenu is executed with wmaker.inst) > IMHO, I just think it is a bad idea to force the dependency of imagemagick > for a simple screen shot. No one is forcing any dependency, please take a look at what wmgenmenu does. In any case, adding a screenshot menu via wmgenmenu was just an spontaneous idea. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
