Taskbar shortcut to a directory instead of a file? [SOLVED]

[liro]

This is a really basic question but I can't work out how to do it ...

In my /root/.jwmrc-tray file, the taskbar shortcuts are listed in this format:

<TrayButton popup="program_name" icon="/icons/icon.png">exec:program_name</TrayButton>

Instead of "exec:program_name", what would I have to put for the shortcut to open a specified directory when I click on it?

Thanks

How about <TrayButton popup="program_name" icon="/icons/icon.png">exec:program_name</TrayButton>
With exec:program_name being "exec:rox directory_name"

I tried it in a terminal with "rox /root/my-applications" and it opened that directory fine.

Hi liro,

Working example:

Code: Select all

<TrayButton popup="Pictures and Wallpaper" icon="/usr/local/lib/X11/themes/faenza_lrx_new/qp-icon.png">exec:rox /usr/share/backgrounds</TrayButton>

Thanks to you both, working now : ).

Just curious - would creating a symlink to the directory and pointing the exec: line to that symlink also work?
