NAME

6       dfish - Daniel's file selection hack
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dfish path command [ glob_mask ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dfish  is  a generic front-end for selecting files.  Running dfish will
13       give you a menu with all the files in  the  specified  directory  path,
14       which  satisfy  the glob_mask. When you double-click a file, the speci‐
15       fied command will be run.  The "refresh" button reloads  the  directory
16       contents.  When glob_mask is omitted, it defaults to '*': all files.
17

OPTIONS

19       The  first  parameter  is the directory to open, the second is the com‐
20       mand, which should be run on the files. The optional third parameter is
21       the  shell glob, which can filter the file list, so only the files sat‐
22       isfying the shell pathname expansion expression  (for  example  "*.jpg"
23       means all JPG images) are shown.

EXAMPLE

27       dfish /home/user/my_backgrounds "fbsetbg -f" '*.jpg'
28
29       will  display  all  the JPG images in the directory /home/user/my_back‐
30       rounds, double-clicking any image will set it as a desktop  background,
31       because that's what the "fbsetbg" command do.
