[REQUEST] Add config option to read applications from $PATH if desired #1

Closed firecat53 closed 10 years ago

firecat53 commented 10 years ago

Hey, just wondering if it would be easy to add an option to read applications from $PATH instead of or in addition to the XDG desktop apps. It looks like the 'find_apps' function could probably be extended to do this if an option was passed from the configuration file.

If not or it's not in your vision for this, I understand!

Thanks, Scott

Yeah, that wouldn't be too difficult. I'll look into it when I have some free time.

It should work now, although the amount of executables in PATH makes it quite slow.

Thanks very much! Worked great once I figured out I had to delete my config.json and state files and start over :) Actually still really fast...I can't notice a difference here.
