append_file
appends to file output, it doesn't execute lua code in the config. Use normal Lua imports instead, I recently added support for relative imports so you can place conf~common.lua
with a table containing common options next to your scripts then import it.
But it won't be added to conky.config
automatically - you'll have to merge tables and assign the merged table to conky.config
.
The issue is that documentation for append_file
doesn't specify clearly enough that it will make conky append text to specified file, so I'm closing it in favor of #1800.
What happened?
Conky fails with the following errors when I use append_file for common settings:
conky: can't load font '6x10' conky: can't load font 'fixed'
However, if I add 'use_xft = true,' to the .lua config instead of the append_file it works as expected.
Is setting 'use_xft' supported in an append file?
