Multiple Rox DefaultsForum: X and Fluxbox Topic: Multiple Rox Defaults started by: clivesay Posted by clivesay on July 31 2004,16:36
All - I am looking for a clue here. I want to use Rox for multiple icons. I want each icon to default to a different directory. I looked in the Rox manual and it talks about doing "rox /home" for example. This works at the command line but I cannot get it to work from within the icon. I have tried many combinations with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Chris Posted by ke4nt1 on Aug. 01 2004,00:08

On your multiple rox defaults...Can you write a little script for each icon you want ?? I tried this, and it worked.. #!/bin/sh cd /usr/games rox Save this 3 line script as "games.rox" in your /home/dsl directory. Now, if you make this file executable "chmod 744 games.rox".. You can run it, and Rox opens in /usr/games .. Isn't this what your lookin for ?? You can lnk an icon to this file just like the other icons in .xtdesktop For example: ======================= table Icon Type: Program Caption: Games Command: /home/dsl/games.rox Icon: .xtdesktop/games.rox.png X: 295 Y: 185 end ======================= Let me know... 73 ke4nt Posted by clivesay on Aug. 01 2004,11:08
Kent -Great idea! I will give that a try today. Thank you! Posted by clivesay on Aug. 01 2004,14:52
Well, I created the script and ran it but it still opens up in the default home/dsl directorycd /home/dsl/My Documents rox I'll keep messing with it. Thanks Chris Posted by ke4nt1 on Aug. 01 2004,15:45
I wonder if it doesn't like the SPACE in the filename...I just made another one with /home/dsl/Mail I went as far as placing the executable script on another hard drive = hda4 Wnen I run it, it opens rox in /home/dsl/Mail... Try my_documents or /home/dsl/"My Documents" with quotes.. I don't think the space is a good thing in a command string.. 73 ke4nt |
