Diego's ROX page

I have written several patches for ROX-Filer that you can find at the project's patch page. Some of them have already been incorporated into the CVS tree, so please check before applying them.

I have written a number of things for ROX-Filer:

• A patch for supporting application-specific menus. This patch has been incorporated into CVS, so if you get the latest version from CVS, you'll have it. NOTE: On March 8, 2001, the CVS was updated, converting AppMenu to XML format. I have updated all the applications in this page to use the new format.

• A program for converting the old AppMenu format into the new XML format.

• A Trashcan application for ROX-Filer, originally inspired by dfm-trashcan.tcl (from Ethan's Code Kitchen), but rewritten in Perl and now with very different functionality, and specifically tailored for ROX-Filer (last update: April 8, 2002 - see the ChangeLog).

• A wrapper for XEmacs, which tries to use a client instead of starting a new xemacs if possible, and keeps a cache of recently opened files using the app-specific menus mechanism (see the patches page above) (last update: March 8, 2001).

• A wrapper for LaTeX, which tries to be somewhat intelligent about how to process its arguments, and also uses the app-specific menus mechanism if you have it installed (last udpate: March 8, 2001).

• A terminal wrapper which is able to execute different terminal programs by using its arguments (to be used with the app-specific menus mechanism) (last update: March 8, 2001).

• A miscellaneous utility application, which provides some useful functions through its app-specific menu (last update: March 8, 2001).

• Simple wrappers for xdvi, xfig, XV, display.
