This would be my theoretical "sfsexe" program:
Code: Select all
#sfsexe sfsexe v0.0 NOT loaded Usage: sfsexe [OPTIONS] [DIR] [SFS] Options: -a, --add=DIR Add a new directory to the list of available SFSs -r, --remove=DIR Remove directory from the list of available SFSs -l, --load=SFS Load a specified SFS -u, --unload=SFS Unload a specified SFS -w, --window Opens a loading/unloading dialog window -m, --menu-refresh This is self-explanatory -e, --execute=FILE Executes a specified .desktop file from the SFS, or if started without parameters - checks if there's only one .desktop file in the SFS and executes it
Thanks for that further explanation. I think you're looking for a kind of SFS file manager. Most of these functions can be handled by rox or other filemangers.
For examples;
Add or remove files or directories. (rox)
Mount an SFS (rox left-click)
List of sfs files in a directory (SFS-exec-dir)
Unmount an SFS (rox left-click)
Union and execute an SFS (SFS-Exec on rox-right-click)
ununion (SFS-exec-unloader).
This idea is interesting....
"Executes a specified .desktop file from the SFS, or if started without parameters - checks if there's only one .desktop file in the SFS and executes it"
My view of SFS files is that they contain only one large program that you'd prefer not to install. Perhaps an SFS file composed of several programs might be useful with some sort of interface to select one. Let me think about that.
