Hi I wasn't planning to spend a lot of time on this, but what I had was a large directory of graphics files (jpegs) that I wanted as screen backgrounds on an X-Windows desktop running fvwm-2 somewhere on my PC.
I was handy with making menu entries in fvwm-2, but I was not too crazy about making separate individual entries for each file by hand, so I created a perl script that did this for me. It sends it to standard output, which I can always redirect into a file and read into the ~/.fvwm/menus file later. Then, it takes only a few minutes to make the submenus of about 20 files each. I offer the script to this list for what it's worth, and feel that most people here are handy with languages like Perl they can tweak values in the script to their liking. I've tailored the script so that you need only a casual perl skill and casual UNIX skill. It's at: http://pjk.scripts.mit.edu/lab/src/index.html If you find it useful, go ahead and use it! Paul King
