Make yourself a script :)
Then give it an icon and you can run it from the desktop.
Try something like:
#!/bin/bash
dirname=`kdialog --inputbox "Please enter dir name"`
if [ ! -d "$dirname" ]; then
kdialog --error "Directory does not exist"
exit
fi
#Directory exists
ls $dirname > /tmp/dirlist.$$
kwrite /tmp/dirlist.$$
#Delete temp file after kwrite exits
rm /tmp/dirlist.$$
Heh, I knew I read the KDialog http://dot.kde.org tutorial for a good reason
:)
If you are using KDE from CVS, I *think* there's:
kdialog --getexistingdirectory
but on KDE 3.1.4 KDialog says something like "Unknown dialog type" so I
presume it's not implemented there.
Hope that helps,
David
