18 Clawsker is an applet to edit the so called Claws Mail hidden
19 preferences.
20 Claws Mail is a fast, lightweight and feature-rich MUA with a high
22 number of configurable options. To keep the binary small and fast some
23 of these preferences which are not widely used are not provided with a
24 graphical interface for inspection and/or modification.
25 Users wanting to edit such preferences had to face raw editing of their
27 configuration files, now you can do it with a convenient GTK interface
28 using Clawsker.
29 In adition to hidden features Clawsker can edit also some other
31 settings which usually can only be set indirectly. These include
32 currently the saved positions (and sizes when available) of Claws Mail
33 windows and all hot key mappings from application menus.
34
36 -a | --alternate-config-dir dirname
37 Uses dirname as Claws Mail configuration directory.
38 -b | --verbose
40 Tells more on the standard output.
41 -c | --clawsrc filename
43 Uses filename as Claws Mail resource configuration file. This sets
44 the full file name overriding any previous setting.
45 -h | --help
47 Shows a brief help screen.
48 -i | --ignore-versions
50 Ignores any version detected or set by -u option. Almost all
51 options will be available.
52 -r | --read-only
54 Edits hidden preferences without saving the changes. It also works
55 while Claws Mail is running.
56 -u | --use-claws-version version
58 Uses version as Claws Mail version instead of the real one. The
59 version argument is a list of integers, separated by dots if
60 needed.
61 -v | --version
63 Shows version information for program, Perl-GTK and Claws Mail.
64 Weird option specifications may produce weird results (but otherwise
66 correct).
67
69 A running Claws Mail cannot be detected if using the --clawsrc option
70 because the directory is not assumed to be a Claws Mail configuration
71 dir. If that is the case use the --alternate-config-dir option
72 instead.
73 Detection will also fail if the temporary directory resolution differs.
75 This may happen, for example, when the value of the environment
76 variable TMPDIR under Clawsker is not the same that it was when Claws
77 Mail was launched.
