Script for creating EAP files for E17

Legout · 2005-07-07 18:31:55

Because it´s a pain in the ... to create or edit EAP file with the grafical EAPP Editor, i wrote this little script to generate them.
You just have to know the /path/to/the/icon/you/wanna/use !

Maybe it´s ugly, but it works :twisted:

BTW, I call this script "e17_gen-eap":?:

great work legout!! althought. what is the difference from enlihtenment_eapp utillity? (included with e17)?

edit: just saw the difference

great work legout!! althought. what is the difference from enlihtenment_eapp utillity? (included with e17)?

Have a look at the eap_build function. I fact the script uses the enlightenment_eapp utility. It generates an $NAME.edc (function gen_icon)
an copy´s the $ICON.png to the actual path. Than builds an $NAME.eap and modifies it (funtion eap_build). At least it copies the $NAME.eap to ~/.e/e/applications/all

That´s all.

Maybe this would be interesting too!

I hate using the graphical editor. Great script you've made Legout. Thanks

Legout · 2005-07-07 19:04:54

Maybe we should start a "HINTS AND TIPS fo e17" Topic in the forum. With screenshot,scrits, how tos...

CyberTron · 2005-07-07 19:19:21

that is a good idea, although, no screeens in it, that is what the monthly screenshot thread are for...

otherwise, I am ready to post

I haven't looked for a while but before the GUI utility came about, e_utils contained a bash script that did the exact same thing.

Legout · 2005-07-08 08:32:33

I´ve search for this scrit, but i can´t find it, is it still in e_utils? Where?

I just had a quick look and I couldn't see it but I know it used to be there cause I've used it before, was ages ago but. Unless I got it form somewhere online, possible but I don't think I would've.
