 |
|
Hello.
I've been using rox-filer for a while but never tried to run several files at once, but now that I have I don't know how to do it. For example, I have as my run action for all audio files. When I select more mp3s than one, I don't know what to do to enqueue them all with the run action I've specified; I've tried pushing space or enter, left-clicking one of the selected files (only enqueues the file I click), browsing the right-click menu for options (has copying, renaming, deleting, moving, and even counting, but nothing to run them) and looking for a toolbar button to run the selected files, to no avail. I even tried adding a "customize menu" script for mp3s to run xmms -e, but it only appears in the menu for single files, not for multiple files. I found nothing regarding this in the ROX-Filer Manual.
Now, enqueueing mp3s can easily (perhaps even more easily) be done just by clicking around on single files, but if I want to view videos sequentially in mplayer, I'd really need the $@ to be replaced with the names of all the files I've selected, since mplayer's -enqueue option doesn't work for me, probably because I don't use the GUI; just giving it many files as arguments works fine. The same applies to GIMP, though I could probably use gimp-remote for that. But this isn't about individual programs, except maybe rox-filer. 
I know I can do all this in a terminal, and can even use wildcards when doing so. And I like terminals. I was just wondering if it's possible to do it in rox, as the default "$@" for run actions would suggest that it's possible to run several files. Thank you.

Rox - SendTo menu is your friend. You can go to ~/Choices/SendTo/ and create any executable script files as you wish.
I have created three scripts that do jobs as you mentioned, XMMS_Playlist, Mplayer_Playlist, and Open_in_Gimp.
You can also take the rest as ideas to make this Rox - SendTo menu even greater.
| Code: |
nui@straivir-res ~/Choices/SendTo $ head *
==> Convert_to_wallpaper <==
#! /bin/sh
convert -sample 2560x1024 "$@" "$@"
==> gVim <==
#! /bin/sh
exec gvim "$@"
==> Mplayer_Playlist <==
mplayer "$@"
==> Open_in_Gimp <==
gimp "$@"
==> Rotate90ccw <==
#!/bin/bash
for file in "$@"
do
convert -rotate -90 $file $file
done
==> Rotate90cw <==
#!/bin/bash
for file in "$@"
do
convert -rotate 90 $file $file
done
==> Set_as_wallpaper_feh_scaled <==
exec feh --bg-scale "$@"
==> Set_as_wallpaper_feh_tiled <==
exec feh --bg-tile "$@"
==> SlideView <==
feh -g 1280x1024 "$@"
==> XMMS_Playlist <==
xmms "$@"

Thanks, grad_guy, that's exactly what I was looking for! A neat example btw. I suppose I was thinking of "SendTo" in terms of Windows explorer, ie. moving files around, and didn't pay much attention to it. I'll try to be more open-minded from now on.  |
