 Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2003 10:10 pm Post subject: idesk icon file creator... |
 |
|
This is just a quick script I threw together to generate .lnk files for me for use with idesk.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
#Script to automate the icon creation process in idesk
printf "Icon filename (minus the extension): "
read fileName
touch /home/$USER/.idesktop/$fileName.lnk
outFile=/home/$USER/.idesktop/$fileName.lnk
printf "Caption: "
read caption
printf "Icon Path: "
read icPath
printf "Primary Command: "
read priComm
printf "Secondary Command: "
read secComm
echo "table Icon" > $outFile
echo " Caption: "$caption >> $outFile
echo " Icon: "$icPath >> $outFile
echo " Command[0]: "$priComm >> $outFile
if [ "$secComm" ]
then
echo " Command[1]: "$secComm >> $outFile
fi
echo "end" >> $outFile
echo "Icon Created."
|
I also wrote this little script to automount devices, I use this script as the primary command for my idesk icons that refer to devices.
Syntax is simple: scriptname mountpoint
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
#Check to see if dev is mounted, if not, mount it
#and open it, if so just open it
DEV=$1
isMntd=`cat /etc/mtab | grep $DEV | wc -l | sed 's/ //g'`
#If it is mounted, open it!
if [ "$isMntd" -eq "1" ]; then
mntPnt=`cat /etc/mtab | grep $DEV | cut -d' ' -f2`
nautilus --no-desktop $mntPnt
else
mount $DEV
mntPnt=`cat /etc/mtab | grep $DEV | cut -d' ' -f2`
nautilus --no-desktop $mntPnt
fi
umount $mntPnt

Also, there is idesk-extras. It is simply a small script that allows you to graphicaly configure/add/remove icons from your desktop. It isn't in portage, but there is a howto for it here:
 http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Idesk
Perhaps I'll add a cleaner written howto for it on this forum soon. I'll experiment with it more to see if I can add some stuff to make it more accessible on a Gentoo system.
