Feature Request: An option for selecting the section in the config to open.

[DMBuce]

Blezz has a -d option to choose which dir in the config to open. As far as I can tell this is not possible with rofi-blezz, which always starts by displaying the first dir defined in the config.

Currently I am using a wrapper script for this functionality, but it would be nice if rofi-blezz had the feature baked in.

An example of how this would be useful: I have a config similar to the one below and use my wrapper script to bind Super+z to the "Main" dir, Super+m to the "Music" dir, and Super+p to the "Password" dir. Without the wrapper script I would have to have different copies of nearly identical config files, just with the order of the dirs changed. Which is not ideal.

Main:
dir(m,Music)
dir(p,Password)

Music:
act(m,Mpd,     music mps play )
act(p,Pandora, music pandora play )
act(r,Radio,   music radio play )
act(c,Choose,  music choose )

Password:
act(p,Password, rofi-pass copyPass)
act(c,Copy,     rofi-pass copyMenu)
act(l,Launch,   rofi-pass openUrl)
act(n,New,      rofi-pass --insert)
act(o,Other,    rofi-pass actionMenu)

sorry misread.

Please test fix. -blezz-directory takes the directory name.

Thanks! This works well in most cases, however if I pass the first dir to the -blezz-directory option, X freezes, rofi consumes 100% CPU and its memory balloons until it's OOM killed.
