Hi,
I've written a small script just to list txt files from a folder as a pipemenu in Openbox, and I'm pretty certain ive got the formatting right, but when I try and use it in OB, it doesnt work at all.
This is the code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, sys, fnmatch
class dirlist:
def dir_contents(self, path):
file_list=[]
os.chdir(path)
file_types = "*.txt"
for fileName in os.listdir(path):
for ext in file_types:
if fnmatch.fnmatch(fileName, ext) and os.path.isdir(fileName) == False and fnmatch.fnmatch(fileName, "*.txt~") == False:
file_list.append(fileName)
return file_list
def __init__(self, argv):
app = "/usr/lib/kde4/bin/kate"
default = "/usr/lib/kde4/bin/dolphin"
list = self.dir_contents(argv[0])
def_open = default+ " " + argv[0]
print "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
print "<openbox_pipe_menu>"
print " <item label=\"%s\">" % argv[0]
print " <action name=\"Execute\"><execute>%s</execute></action>" % def_open
print " </item>"
print " <separator />"
for fileName in list:
print " <item label=\"%s\">" % fileName
print " <action name=\"Execute\"><execute>%s</execute></action>" % (app+ " " + os.path.join(argv[0],fileName))
print " </item>"
print "</openbox_pipe_menu>"
if __name__=="__main__":
app = dirlist(sys.argv[1:])
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Ive tested it from the cmdline and it seems to be producing the correct output, but it just shows an empty menu in OpenBox.
Thanks!
