dmenu-tools's Issues

Putting dmenu-tools into a directory not covered by which --skip-tilde has *nasty* endless loop potential

I'm doing stuff like:

PATH=/mnt/datapool/src/dmenu-tools.git:$PATH dmenu-run-recent -fn monospace:size=12

All was fine when I had $HOME/dev/dmenu-tools.git, because which --skip-tilde will do the Right Thing. Moving the repo to /mnt or wherever will produce an endless execution loop because realBin() will return our dmenu script, not the real binary. Thoughts on what fix should be?

EDIT ouch didn't happen to notice the massive developments that have happened since I last checked. Pending further review I doubt this issue is valid against the new codebase.

Cannot really run stuff with dmenu_run_recent

    *\;) ${SHELL:-/bin/sh} $(echo $TERMINAL -e ${RUN/;/}) &;;
    *) ${SHELL:-/bin/sh} $RUN &;;

Does this really work? Not for me. sh -c is needed for having a shell run
a general command (as opposed to a commandfile).

Also, when running in a terminal, I have to do:

  sh -c "xterm -e xclock -digital"

with citatationmarks like that. Or possibly

  xterm -e sh -c "xclock -digital"

Merging into a bigger script collection

Hi there,

Thanks for your efforts to collecting various useful dmenu scripts!

A few weeks ago I had a similar idea, not knowing about your repo at that time.

https://github.com/orschiro/dmenu-scripts-collection

What do you think about merging both efforts and maintaining just one collection repo?

For further scripts to add to such a repo we can also have a look to the newly created subreddit /dmenu:

Tell me what you think!
