Post by sonny »

Hello,
What command do I have to add to the script to open ROX-Filer's certain bookmarks?
Very much appreciated.

Do you mean /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Bookmarks.xml ?

What do you mean exactly?

Open all bookmarks of e.g. directories/programs/files at once?
Open a specific entry from bookmarks?
Open the bookmarks menu of a Rox filer window?

Yes, open a specific bookmark (like /root/my-pictures) in ROX-Filer, so I can create a menu entry for it.
Thanks again, folks!

I do not have a clear idea of what you want.

This will open a RoxFiler window showing the files in /root/my-pictures:

rox /root/my-pictures

This will open all the dirs in the Bookmarks.xml file:

rox $( grep 'bookmark title' /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Bookmarks.xml | cut -d '>' -f 2- | cut -d '<' -f 1 )

This will not work if there are spaces in the bookmarked names.

That's the one!
Thank you, Will.

ok, then to make it work with spaces, it would need something like this:

Code: Select all

SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS="
"
rox $(grep 'bookmark title' /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Bookmarks.xml | cut -d '>' -f 2- | cut -d '<' -f 1)
IFS=$SAVEIFS

This might work better, it puts each bookmark on a separate line.

Code: Select all

SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS="
"
rox $( cat /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Bookmarks.xml | sed 's_<book_\n<book_g' | grep '<bookmark title' | cut -d '>' -f 2- | cut -d '<' -f 1 )
IFS=$SAVEIFS
