Automatic menu generation:
-------------------------
When used with Debian Linux, Pdmenu interfaces with Debian's "menu" package
to provide automatically generated menus of programs on your Debian system.
The autogenerated menu files are stored in two places:
/var/lib/pdmenu/.pdmenurc_auto Global autogenerated menu file.
~/.pdmenurc_auto Autogenerated file for a single user.
To incorporate one of these files into your pdmenu menus, use the read command
to read it in:
read:/var/lib/pdmenu/.pdmenurc_auto
You might want to use a more complex command, like this one, which will
filter out X programs if you're not in X, etc:
preproc: \
if tty|egrep -q "tty[0-9]|tty[0-9][0-9]|console"; then \
args="$args -Dvc=vc"; \
fi; \
if [ $DISPLAY ]; then \
args="$args -Dx11=x11"; \
fi; \
cpp /var/lib/pdmenu/.pdmenurc_auto -Dtext=text $args
This will make a menu named "/Debian" available, along with a bunch of
submenus like "/Debian/Apps" and "/Debian/Apps/Games". You can use the show
command in a menu to add an entry to the menu that displays these menus:
menu:main:Main Menu:This is a sample main menu
show:Debian Menus..::/Debian
If you make a ~/.menu directory (see documentation of the menu package for
details), then the ~/.pdmenurc_auto file will be created when you run
update-menus. You will need to edit your ~/.pdmenurc to make it read in this
file.
