v0.5.8.1:

- added README for my-lang-string
- dropped two TODO items

Well do you think you can manage to write that new function? Otherwise
capitalizing the first letters is, o.k., as it's much more intelligent
to have AMule at the beginning of the list, than having aMule at the
end. This is the last thing to be done before merging into sawfish, the
others (Comment= as Tooltip or displaying Icons in my are not on my
agenda yet, as they require work on the menu itself and there's more
important stuff to do, eg broken translations in interactive-mode and
such)

Cheers,
Chris

;; (mk-saw-menu.jl (v0.5.8.1) --- sawfish wm menu generation -- librep)

;; (c) 2009 Matthew Love
;; Christopher Bratusek

;; This file will be part of Sawfish

;;; Description:
;;
;; Create a sawfish wm menu from .desktop files
;; in your /usr/share/applications folder.

#| 

Usage:

Make sure the mk-saw-menu.jl is in your load path
(i.e. ~/.sawfish/lisp), then in your .sawfish[/]rc file add:

;; Optional Part, config bits, defaults listed below
;; can be savely skipped, if you're fine with the defaults

;; change xterm -e to your appropriate string (must have
;; a space at the end) 

(setq my-term-string "xterm -e ") 

;; what locale for localized strings to use, if available
;; eg.: set to de to read Dokumentbetrachter instead of Documentviewer

(setq my-lang-string '())

;; if your .desktop files are located somewhere else than
;; /usr/share/applications, then change the desktop-directory

(setq desktop-directory "/usr/share/applications"))

;; some entries are hidden from the menu, especially GNOME Apps
;; like eog, nautilus or evince & Co, if you want to have them
;; added to your menu, then replace '() by 't in the following

(setq ignore-no-display '())

;; if you don't want your menus to be sorted alphabetically
;; then replace 't by '() in the following

(setq want-alphabetize 't)

;; Necessary part, can't be skipped

;; load our script

(require 'mk-saw-menu)

;; generate the menu

(write-saw-menu)

;; load our menu

(require 'saw-menu)

;; set our menu as default

(setq apps-menu saw-apps-menu)

|#

;;; TODO:

;; adhere to the desktop entry file specifications.
;; <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/"; target="_blank">http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/</a>

;; add support for Comment=/Comment[lang]=
