Customizable Menu

[meteos77]

Allow to integrate little extras without having to leave BQ.

Have a "plugins" menu where the user can launch his own complementary programs (for me python scripts for statistics)

it would be necessary to have access to a variable that will give the current database (with path) to retrieve it in the scripts.

Would a terminal option work? From a terminal, one would be able to start other programs. As for a variable, perhaps setting an environment variable prior to launching the terminal would suffice. For example, BIBLIOTEQ_CURRENT_SQLITE_FILE.

do you offer this? launch with ./biblioteq --programs=prog1.py prog2.py prog3.sh

and a menu would display "SupplementaryMenu/prog1 "SupplementaryMenu/prog2" "SupplementaryMenu/prog3"

When BQ launches the program, how should it pass arguments to the command(s)? Other Options requires an External Commands section.

Program Executable Path | Arguments /path/to/prog1.py --sqlite-path %1

If programs are defined, an External Commands menu becomes available in the main window.

If BQ can create environment variables like BIBLIOTEQ_CURRENT_SQLITE_FILE with python no problem to get the value

script.py.tar.gz

If for example I change my database through the graphical interface of BQ (Menu / File / Connect ... ) the variable BIBLIOTEQ_CURRENT_SQLITE_FILE will be updated ?

Completed. See official documentation and commit text for details. :)
