Allows a bash script to use the best available TUI or GUI dialog system

script-dialog's Issues

File select should enter, not select, folders

whiptail and pure text aren't good at drilling down into folders, and need support added to them to do so.

Need to support a Folder Picker function

This is supported by the dialog interfaces, so we should too.

GNOME based Ubuntu broken

It fails to detect current desktop,
$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP output is "ubuntu:GNOME"

"dialog" interface doesn't put quotes on checklist items

The other interfaces do.

Test script always tries launching KDialog

the override used while testing was left in.

pkexec isn't working

At least in the test script on Ubuntu 19.04

Improve cancelability

Only the base text interface, maybe TUIs are cancelable due to the CTRL+C / CTRL+Z shortcuts.
Should add cancel buttons and let the script kill itself.

Standalone Mode

Calling to it like one would dialog, as opposed to an included script via source
Would be a nice feature.

Add ability to set width on dialogs for GUI Interfaces or sane auto defaults

Zenity dialogs have bad habit of making the window very wide if you have a long text string. I like to set the width so that the text wraps on to several lines with a shorter width or easier readability.

To be able to do that one needs to be able to set the --width= on the Zenity dialogs. Please consider adding this functionality.

Thanks!

Username and Password should return array

Instead of something that needs to be cut, return something that can be read as a standard bash array.

Cancel / Quit states

Make sure we handle, as best we can, detecting CTRL+C/Z and clicking the close window button.
It may not be possible to have quit conditions, but that's to be determined.
