Afternoon, guys.
OK. To 'clarify' the title:-
I know the JWM templates file delimits 'main' Menu entries as <Menu>.....</Menu> (within <RootMenu>.....</RootMenu>), and individual item entries as <Program>.....</Program> (within <Menu>....</Menu>). I think that's right. However, to get to the point of this thread, and to make things simpler to understand, the issue is this:-
In most of my Pups, I run multiple different video-editing tools/programs. Is it possible, with JWM, to place an entry in the "Multimedia" section which, when I hover the mouse over it, will give me a further 'sub-Menu' just for those items?
I remember rerwin did something like this in Lucid re-visited - sub-menu leading to another sub-menu - though I was never certain whether he'd done this with JWM or IceWM. He seems to have used something of a hybrid 'mix' of items, and attempting to read through the scripts for this stuff has totally confused me. (Which is not hard to do, these days...!)
I've also thoroughly confused myself attempting to read the JWM manual, because it doesn't appear to make it at all clear whether JWM will support multiple levels of 'nested' sub-menus.....and I definitely can't figure out how you would code something like this.
Could anybody attempt to explain whether this is in fact possible, and perhaps provide some examples as to how it could be done? For instance, I can't see how this could be integrated into /etc/xdg/templates/_root_jwmrc in such a way that it could be permanently generated; looking at it, and reading the manual, appears to indicate that only one level of sub-menus is supported (the <Program>.....</Program> entries).
Is this in fact possible, or am I chasing shadows here? Any advice would be welcomed.....so long as it's sensible, of course!
TIA.
Mike.
