A number of files have been added to the Window Maker source tree but are not
included in the tarball produced by "make dist" because they have not been added
to EXTRA_DIST in the appropriate Makefile.am. They are:
- Dutch translation files (commit afc90)
- email-clients.txt (commit 385db)
- WPrefs source files removed from WPrefs_SOURCES (commit 21dfd)
This patch adds these missing files.
Because the existing nl locale files are ancient and obsolete,
the user interface stays mainly in English with hardly Dutch text
showing up.
This is a complete translation in 6 parts from scratch, using the
current (pl)menus and Makefile generated .pot files. These files
provide a very good, and thoroughly checked user interface in the
Dutch language.
Adding me as a maintainer in related README files; removing previous
maintainer (e-mail bounced).
Removing unnecessary executable bit from pt.po on the fly.
The inspiration comes from Geir T. Kristiansen's 'genmenu' shell script
(http://gtk.no/genmenu) which I have been hapilly using for
the last 9 years or so.
That script generates the Window Maker menu by asking a few questions
and checks whether the applications in a predefined list exist in
the user's $PATH, so that the menu contains only the applications
which are guaranteed to exist and which the user cares about.
However I always thought it was a bit slow to finish, even
when having a file containing the answers to the questions to
be piped in.
And as Kristiansen states in his webpage, his script does not
support internationalization:
"If you want internationalization I really suggest you rewrite
genmenu from scratch anyway in a more sensible language and remove
other limitations while you are at it."
so I decided to rewrite in C and make it support internationalization
(only English and German so far). While I am not sure yet if I removed
"other limitations while you are at it" I definitely made it finish faster.
This C program does not make you questions though.
But in the same spirit as the author of 'genmenu', who says:
"Genmenu is a hack, deal with it, it just happens to serve my needs."
I present you 'wmgenmenu', which you can use like this:
wmgenmenu > /home/mafra/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu
and the menu is automatically generated from the list of
predefined apps which are contained in the C sources (wmgenmenu.h).
And when you generate the WMRootMenu as above, wmaker will automatically
load the new menu for you (due to the 'inotify' mechanism in wmaker-crm).
As for 'wmgenmenu' being faster than 'genmenu':
