menu.xml entry for conky #5

Closed capn-damo closed 9 years ago

@Sector11

If you merge the bl-conkyzen scripts, do you want me to make menu.xml entries?

ATM it is: Settings -> Conky .... - Edit .conkyrc .... - man page .... - Wiki page

It could now include:
.... - Conky Switcher (ie bl-conkyzen script) .... - Reload Conky session (ie default bl-conky-session)

It would be nice to have a pipemenu which gives choices for saved-sessions. This could easily be done if the paths of the saved-sessions files were saved to a config file in $CONKYPATH when they were first created.

Problem with : .... - Edit .conkyrc is it edits ~/.conkyrc - unless the symlink changes that - then go for it!

Please don't use Conky Switcher (that is what the pipemenu is called.)

Use (just an opinion) Settings -> Conky .... - ConkyZen .... - Reload Session .... - Edit .conkyrc .... - man page .... - Conky Help (x-www-browser http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=371424#p371424)

NOTE - use of ConkyZen and the ConkySwitcher is double jeopardy, since damo's involvement ConkyZen is the better choice. (my opinion)

For a menu label I don't think "ConkyZen" is a good description - it describes the script, not the process - it would be meaningless to a new user. What the user is wanting is a chooser/switcher for his conkys. A pipemenu or script can be called anything you like, but the menu label is what a user sees. "Conky Chooser"?

Maybe change "Edit .conkyrc" to "Edit default conky"?

And are man/conky help links necessary here as well? They are in all the Help menu

OK - I'm not fussy ... make it look good. :dart:

Settings -> Conky .... - Conky Chooser .... - Reload Session .... - Edit .conkyrc or Edit default Conky

if the symlink works - does it make a difference? Other than Edit .conkyrc is about the same width as the rest.

Six to one half-a-dozen to the other.

I was looking at the "Help" section ... those maybe should be changed to: .... - man page .... - Conky Help (x-www-browser http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=371424#p371424)

That last one vs the Wiki Page which is discontinued.
