Re: FVWM: Command to send arbitrary stuff to modules

What I do is have separate files for colour, style, functions, popups, modules and the like.

I then use a central .fvwmrc file to read these files in at startup.

If I want to change a module's config, then I just edit its file and use the read command, either from a function or a FvwmTalk.

eg

AddToFunc CopyRead "I" Exec exec cp $HOME/.fvwm/$0 $HOME/.fvwm/$1
+ "I" Read .fvwm/$1

so goodstuff can be changed with this function:

CopyRead new_goodstuff goodstuff


Hope this helps

Graeme

p.s. Chuck could it be possible to make Read default to first reading the directory where fvwmrc has been specified:

ie
my config is $HOME/.fvwm/fvwmrc

and I want read to start looking for files from $HOME/.fvwm
