EXMENEN(1) General Commands Manual EXMENEN(1) NAME
exmenen, exmendis - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG menu-spec compliant desktops SYNOPSIS
exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ] exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands. exmenen is a script that enables the specified extra applications menu on either a system, or per-user basis. It does this by creating symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system wide), or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/ (per-user). If the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be ${HOME}/.config . Likewise, exmendis disables an extra applications menu by removing those symlinks. It is not an error to enable a menu which is already enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled. EXAMPLES
exmendis --system electronics exmenen --system electronics Disables the system wide extra electronics menu, enables it for the current user. FILES
/usr/share/extra-xdg-menus Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules. /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-wide enabled extra menus. ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for per-user enabled extra menus. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset, the directory used will be ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged AUTHOR

FVWM-THEMES-MENUAPP(1) FVWM Utility FVWM-THEMES-MENUAPP(1) NAME
fvwm-themes-menuapp - fvwm-themes menus utility SYNOPSIS
fvwm-themes-menuapp --build-menu or --com-mode or--help or --version [ --site] [ --menu-files [file1,file2,...] ] [ --remove-popup] [ --com-name name] DESCRIPTION
This script is not a user script. It is used by Fvwm-Themes to do differrent task concerning menu and other related things. This scripts can do the following: Parse and rebuild FVWM configuration files to build a clean menu from them: application not in the path are removed, certain unuseful sub menus and separator are removed (--build-menus option). It can work in a locked way and communicate (via fvwm-themes-com) with FvwmScript-Menus or any other programs (--com-mode option). See below for the list of query that you can ask to fvwm-themes-menuapp via fvwm-themes-com. Plan for the future: use an application data base and parse and build (Mini)Icon Styles. OPTIONS
You must use (only) one of the following four options: --help - show the help and exit --version - show the version and exit --build-menus - Cause fvwm-themes-menuapp to build clean menus. --com-mode Run fvwm-themes-menuapp under the "communication mode". --menu-files [file1,file2,...] - files which are read and written by fvwm-themes-menuapp. By default, fvwm-themes-menuapp will read $FT_DATADIR/themes/default/menus-programs with the --site option. Without the --site option fvwm-themes-menuapp will read menus-programs and menus-extra (if found) in the fvwm-themes personal dir: $FVWM_USERDIR/themes/personal. If menus-programs is not found in this direc- tory the site's menus-programs file is used (the one under $FT_DATADIR). Moreover, if menus-extra is not found, a virtual such file is cre- ated so that the "personal" menus can be created (MenuFvwmPersonal) in it. --site - Change the default for the --menu-files option. --remove-popup - Remove the sub menu popup that popup empty menu (only useful with --build-menus). In fact only certain sub menu popup are removed. --com-name name - use name as name for communication with fvwm-themes-com. By default, "appmenu" is used, but you should use "app- menu-pid" as name where pid is the pid of the program that want to talk to fvwm-themes-menuapp so that fvwm-themes-menuapp can exit if this program exit and so that fvwm-themes-menuapp can kill the program if an internal error happen in fvwm-themes-menuapp. On the other hand, if you want to talk with fvwm-themes-menuapp in, say, a terminal you must not give an name as "menuapp-an_integer" as name.
