In the message dated: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:50:19 PDT, The pithy ruminations from Andrew Daviel on <launching scripts/apps from desktop icons> were: => => On my desktop I don't have much time for the GUI; I find it much easier [AOL] Me too. [/AOL] => to type "ls -lt foo*" than wait for some app to paint 2000 icons I'm => supposed to choose from. But I have a few Gnome toolbar icons I have => tied to commands like => xterm -e "ssh -i foo me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" => using "create launcher". => => Is it possible to do this in maemo/Hildon on the Nokia tablets ? Yes. I'm a huge fan of the Command Navigator app. It replaces the silly Contacts taskbar app, and can be configured to launch arbitrary command line programs via a menu. See: http://upir.cz/maemo/cmdnav.php Mark => One page I looked at seemed to be saying applications needed to be => rewritten to use the hildon manager, which seems a lot of effort just to => get a launcher button. => => Apart from wanting to have a button to do scripts like the above, I was => trying to run example_camera (from => garage.maemo.org/svn/maemoexamples/trunk/) from a button. Works from the => command line; doesn't start properly from a button (or maybe I just => haven't got the files set up properly) => => Andrew _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
