#!@PERL@ # gdialog -> zenity conversion wrapper # # by Mike Newman # # This is all, of course, horrible - but it should translate # most commond gdialog types to zenity equivalents. It will mostly drop # the pointless and unused (even by gdialog!) size arguments # but hopefully will translate all the others. # # For testing purposes, I've used a couple of the nautilus scripts # available at http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net - what is sometimes # unclear is what is a gdialog/zenity translation problem, and what is # a problem with the original script my $command = "zenity "; # the command line we build up to execute my $element = ""; # current bit of command line my $argn = 0; # counter for walking args my $args = $#ARGV + 1; # total number of command line arguments my $separator = 0; # set if --separate-output is in use # Additon by: Kevin C.
