 |
|
Hi, this is my first attempt to automate that tool by using the script below as a "mouse driver".
BTW you need the nifty xdotool for this scriptlet : | Code: | #!/bin/sh
#
# automate KDE sweeper with xdotool
#
# set -x
sweeper &
# get the window id, but break after MAX seconds
#
WINID=""
N=0
MAX=${2:-10}
while [[ -z "$WINID" && $N -le $MAX ]]
do
for i in $(xdotool search --title "$Sweeper" 2>/dev/null)
do
xwininfo -id $i | grep "^xwininfo: Window id: " | grep -q "\"Sweeper\""
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
WINID=$i
break
fi
done
((N=N+1))
sleep 1
done
if [[ -z "$WINID" ]]; then
echo "did not found a window id"
exit 2
fi
xdotool windowactivate $WINID
# click at "Select All"
#
xdotool key alt+a
# click at "Clean Up"
#
xdotool key alt+c
sleep 1
# get the popup window id with the warning message
#
TMPID=$(xdotool search --onlyvisible --title "^Warning ? Sweeper$" 2>/dev/null)
if [[ -z "$TMPID" ]]; then
echo "did not found the popup window id"
exit 3
fi
xdotool windowactivate $TMPID
# click at "Continue"
#
xdotool key alt+o
sleep 2
# activate the sweeper window and close the app
#
xdotool windowactivate $WINID && xdotool key ctrl+q
exit 0
