1 tidy 2 ====== 3 4 Description 5 ----------- 6 This patch introduces an easy way of reducing the amount of programs that are searched 7 through and shown in dmenu by using $DMENU_PATH as the primary source of programs and $PATH 8 as a fallback in case $DMENU_PATH is not configured. To configure the new environment variable 9 put something like the following into your ~/.xinitirc for example: 10 11 export DMENU_PATH="/home/${USER}/.local/bin" 12 13 Please note, that even if you have $DMENU_PATH configured, programs must still be available 14 in $PATH! A sensible way to achieve this would be via symlinks for example: 15 16 ln -s /usr/bin/<program> ~/.local/bin/. 17 18 Please also note, that this patch also gets rid of caching any applications, since I 19 don't see any reason for it to be kept, especially since we are trying to tidy up. 20 21 Download 22 -------- 23 * [dmenu-tidy-20230318-dfbbf7f.diff](dmenu-tidy-20230318-dfbbf7f.diff) 24 25 Authors 26 ------- 27 * Phillip Tischler <ptgit@protonmail.com>
