Trying to create a entry menu for the command "rox /home/vscode/vscode/AppRun" (related to viewtopic.php?p=128491#p128491), I realizes that i do not know how to create a menu entry with an argument.

For opening the / directory via a menu entry , I tried

Exec=rox /

and

Exec="rox /"

in /usr/share/applications/ROX-Filer.desktop without success

(I used fixmenus, relaunch of JWM, relaunch of X and reboot)

EDIT :

Problem with Menumanager ( tab Menu in EasyJWM )

The "processing" (Traitement in French) never ends

@Caramel Try:

/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/AppRun /

rox -d /

or use a start script:

#!/bin/sh
rox -d /

root@pedge210:~$ rox -h
Usage: ROX-Filer/AppRun [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Open each directory or file listed, or the current working
directory if no arguments are given.

  -b, --border=PANEL	open PANEL as a border panel
  -B, --bottom=PANEL	open PAN as a bottom-edge panel
  -c, --client-id=ID	used for session management
  -d, --dir=DIR		open DIR as directory (not application)
  -D, --close=DIR	close DIR and its subdirectories
  -h, --help		display this help and exit
  -l, --left=PANEL	open PAN as a left-edge panel
  -m, --mime-type=FILE	print MIME type of FILE and exit
  -n, --new		start new copy; for debugging the filer
  -p, --pinboard=PIN	use pinboard PIN as the pinboard
  -r, --right=PANEL	open PAN as a right-edge panel
  -R, --RPC		invoke method call read from stdin
  -s, --show=FILE	open a directory showing FILE
  -S, --rox-session	use default panel and pinboard options, and -n
  -t, --top=PANEL	open PANEL as a top-edge panel
  -u, --user		show user name in each window

Thanks.

I tested

rox -d /

and it works.
