Hi,

I use fvwm-menu-directory for a couple different directories (one for playing music, the other for setting backgrounds.) Recently I organized my backgrounds in to alphabetical subdirectories which is when I began to have problems.

I have two functions that use fvwm-menu-directory, as follows:

#####
# FvwmXmmsMenuDirectory
###########
DestroyFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
AddToFunc   FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
+ I PipeRead '/home/mdeluco/root/bin/fvwm-menu-directory -d "$0" \
       --links --command-file="Exec exec xmms \\"%f\\"" \
       --command-title="Exec exec xmms \\"%d\\""'

#####
# FvwmBackgroundSet
###########
DestroyFunc FvwmBackgroundSet
AddToFunc   FvwmBackgroundSet
+ I PipeRead '/home/mdeluco/root/bin/fvwm-menu-directory -d "$0" --links \
       --fvwm-function="FvwmBackgroundSet" \
       --command-file="Exec exec Esetroot -s \\"%f\\""'


It took me a while to figure out that fvwm-menu-directory only uses "FuncFvwmMenuDirectory" as the fvwm function for all generated submenus. I had a look at the command's output in the shell then dug through the perl script to figure this out.

So what I did was add another command line option to fvwm-menu-directory. You can actually see it in the above functions "--fvwm-function". It defaults to FuncFvwmMenuDirectory unless $reuse is set.

Here are the changes I made:

At the top of the script at the end of the variable declaratoins, I added

       my $fvwmFunction = "";

At the end of the GetOptions, I added

       "fvwm-function=s" => \$fvwmFunction,

And here is where the old MissingSubmenuFunction was printed out,

       # set the 'missing submenu function'
#print qq(+ MissingSubmenuFunction FuncFvwmMenuDirectory\n) unless $reuse;
       if ($fvwmFunction ne "") {
           print qq(+ MissingSubMenuFunction $fvwmFunction\n);
       } else {
           print qq(+ MissingSubMenuFunction FuncFvwmmenuDirectory\n)
               unless $reuse;
       }

It didn't look to me as though there was any other way around this. The change seemed easy enough anyhow :) I suppose I could have setup a shell script, but I like this better ;)

What does everyone think, and did I miss anything?

Thanks!
