no global config.pl possible

[kjeldonarch]

Hello,
on my system, i don't have geany nor xterm. So for standard configuration the menu items for starting terminal emulator or to change schema.pl or config.pl won't work. Each user can change config.pl entry for editor to gvim for example. But as system administrator i can't give a global preset for this.

I suppose to provide a config.pl also in /etc/xdg/obmenu-generator/ as it is already done for schema.pl
The dump_configuration sub should be used only, if /etc/xdg/$pkgname/config.pl doesn't exist.

In the same way, maybe the same mechanism could be used for schema.pl, if it does not exist in /etc/xdg/$pkgname/schema.pl for some reason.

Kind regards

I'm not a programmer nor did i anything in pearl before. But i gave it a try and changed my /usr/bin/obmenu-generator like this, and it worked.

Change:

if (not -e $config_file) {
    dump_configuration();
}

to:

if (not -e $config_file) {
    if (-e (my $etc_config_file = "/etc/xdg/$pkgname/config.pl")) {
        require File::Copy;
        File::Copy::copy($etc_config_file, $config_file)
          or warn "$0: can't copy file `$etc_config_file' to `$config_file': $!\n";
    }
    else {
        dump_configuration();
    }
}
