Then you'd have to test more than your patch does: right now, your patch only tests if we're dealing with a directory; whether or not the user running the script has permission to cd into that directory is not taken in consideration. I agree with the others here that the cd itself is the safest test.
Re: [dwm] Need a small image resize program

You're probably right, that the algorithms that are used are not the best ones, but they are okay for what I need them. As I told: If someone needs high quality resizing, he should use ImageMagick. imlib2 of enlightment (mentioned earlier) is smaller, faster with nicer code (at least the simple scaling part) Did I mention, that I work with Debian systems. At least there imlib2 is _not_ smaller than libgd2. (Okay it has more features.) Also imlib2 has more dependencies, under which is x11-common that has just nothing to do with image resizing. (actually i'd rather use imagemagick than a hack on top of gd) The first needs 80 megabytes (!) of dependencies to download on a fresh base system installation. The second one around 10 megabytes (not messured). imlib2 is somewhere in between, but I dont know where. You are probably right about the speed and code quality of imlib2 and I'll have a look into it. But from my point of view, it seems that gd does a better job for what I want: resize images (with sufficent quality) and have small size and dependencies. anyway: thanks for you arguing! meillo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

[dwm] Current tagging/static Rule options?
I switched to dwm from wmx about 6 months ago and have been fairly happy with the stock functionality of 4.7. The more recent versions including 5.0 have different tagging/static Rule options and I'm wondering what those options are WRT directing certain applications to specific tags, ex. all PDF views to the pdf tag; putting xclock on all tags. I saw the post about regexs in class going away but I couldn't find anything explaining for example what 1 8 implies in the static Rule rules. Maybe a few more examples could be added to config.h, or some customizing documentation added to the wiki? Cheers, Jeff
