XDroplets Collection Description

XDroplets Collection is a collection of Applescript droplets to launch your X11 programs from the Finder XDroplets Collection is a collection of Applescript droplets that will help you launch your X11 programs from the Finder.InstallationPlace the individual launchers found in the XDroplets Collection folder anywhere you wish. Toss out the ones you don't need. For a menu that loosely resembles a KDE or Gnome style launcher menu, drag the KDE-Qt and Gnome-Gtk folders to the Dock, and control-click (or right-click) to bring up the menu. Optionally run the XDroplets Setup script to specify your X11 environment and window manager, and the XDroplets Factory script to generate your own XDroplets.XDroplets Setup ScriptIf you are using a standard installation of the Apple X11 environment, the XDroplet launchers should work right away. If you are using another X11 installation (eg. XDarwin, OroborOSX), use the XDroplets Setup script to tell XDroplets which X11 environment to use. XDroplets FactoryUse this script to generate your own custom XDroplets. You will be able to specify the following information:· command line program name· program arguments (leave empty if you don't require arguments)· working directory, ie. the directory from where the program will be launched. This is helpful, for example, if you want the program's open dialog boxes to start in a specified directory. Use the tilde sign '~' to set the working directory to your home directory.· environment variables (leave empty if you don't require environment variables)· administrator privileges (ie. Should the XDroplet run as root user?)Requirements:· X11 environment (Apple X11, XDarwin, or OroborOSX)· Gnome, KDE, and X11 programs (installed via Fink, MacPorts, or manually) What's New in This Release: · XDroplet launchers may now be associated with particular types of documents and URLs. · Added administrator password mode to query file permissions and request an administrator password if required for viewing or editing the files. · Added option for XDroplets to remain running until the program they launched quits. · Environment variables entered in XDroplets Factory should now work properly. · Updated icons for existing launchers and added many new launchers. · Licensed XDroplets under GNU GPL v2.
