Re: marchobmenu
Hi Julius,
I tried installing version 1.4 but got some errors, so i stick with 1.3
Would it be possible to get the menu one level lower... now i have to go to 'Applications' first to see the different categories. Would it be possible to have the different categories in the first level of the right click menu?
Thanks,
Tuna

Re: marchobmenu
I had problems with 1.4 too, but 1.3 is working perfectly anyway. Nice job Julius. 
I generally bring this menu up by itself, with a launcher via xdotool, something like
xdotool key shift+ctrl+super+aafter allocating:
<keybind key="S-C-W-a">
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>marchobmenu-applications</menu>
</action>
</keybind>in rc.xml. This way you get the second level of applications right off.

Thanks for the idea: i've made marchobmenu a left-click menu in openbox.
I don't understand why you need xdotool.

Re: marchobmenu
You need xdotool for launchers because openbox will only let you use keyboard combinations. If that's what you want, cool, but I wanted to launch marchobmenu from an ADeskBar button. Xdotool gives you a command you can put in a launcher, or a script, to access openbox's keyboard combinations.

Oh wow, that's a great way to profit from openbox.

Re: marchobmenu
Oh yes, I've just remembered - marchobmenu by default only checks /usr/share/applications for .desktop files. If you want it to check all the usual places, including ~/.local/share/applications, as the xfce menu does, then edit /etc/xdg/menus/mom-applications.menu
Find the section that starts:
<!-- Read standard .directory and .desktop file locations and edit it to look like this:
<!-- Read standard .directory and .desktop file locations -->
<DefaultAppDirs/>
<DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
<!-- Read only provided .directory and .desktop file locations
<AppDir>/usr/share/applications</AppDir>
<DirectoryDir>/usr/share/desktop-directories</DirectoryDir> -->ie comment out the AppDir and DirecoryDir stuff, and uncomment the DefaultAppDirs and DefaultDirectoryDirs part.

Re: marchobmenu
Marchobmenu is a nice menu generator (programs and places) for openbox.
Ju1ius (the author) recently (today) fixed a bug and version 2.1 is running nicely on #! openbox now.
You can download marchobmenu here:
