You must add a menu entry with the following as the command:
~/.zAppRun /path/to/my.cmg
Greetings,
probono
Is this possible? I tried adding the .cmg to the menu... didn't work. Then tried adding a link to a folder, then added the link to the menu... still didn't work? Yet if I click on the .cmg or the link file directly, both launch the app's fine.

Thanks Probono,
But still doesn't work. I'm using Kanotix 2005-1 and here's an example of what I've tried for "Kbackgammon":
and also tried:Code:~/.zAppRun /home/bigkahuna/Klik/kbackgammon.cmg
but neither worked. The only option I have checked is "enable launch feedback".Code:~/.zAppRun '/home/bigkahuna/Klik/kbackgammon.cmg'
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Paul
Please try running the command "~/.zAppRun /home/bigkahuna/Klik/kbackgammon.cmg" in a konsole so that you can see what, if any, errors it gives?Originally Posted by bigkahuna
It runs OK from Konsole, but the exact same line in the Menu Editor doesn't work. Looks like the HD shuffles for a "micro-second" then nothing, nada, zip, zilcho.... you get the idea

The following asks you where you store your cmg files, and then creates a menu entry for each:
Code:#!/bin/sh # ask where user stores cmg files (desktop by default) CMGDIR=$(kdialog --getexistingdirectory ~/Desktop --caption "Where do you store your cmg files?") # find cmg files CMGFILES=$(find $CMGDIR/*.cmg 2>/dev/null) # remove old menu entries rm -rf $HOME/.kde/share/applnk/klik/*.cmg.desktop # create new menu entries for CMGFILE in $CMGFILES do echo $CMGFILE BASENAME=$(basename "$CMGFILE") cat > $HOME/.kde/share/applnk/klik/$BASENAME.desktop <<EOmooF [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Exec=$HOME/.zAppRun $CMGFILE Icon=view_remove Name=$BASENAME EOmooF done
Ooops, meant to mention it in here before now! Sorted out in IRC. The menu entry was using "~/.zAppRun" but had to use "/home/bigkahuna/.zAppRun" to work.Originally Posted by bigkahuna
Jeez... dont make it too easy for me!... then creates a menu entry for each:
Bfree - thanks for a re-post. I believe you already gave me the info on the #kanotix irc, but since Ive since wiped my old install and am in the midst of a fresh new install, your post will help alot!/home/bigkahuna/.zAppRun
Thanks both of you!!!
