DESCRIPTION

18       Clawsker is an applet to edit the so called Claws Mail hidden
19       preferences.
20
21       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
26       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
30       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

OPTIONS

36       -a | --alternate-config-dir dirname
37           Uses dirname as Claws Mail configuration directory.
38
39       -b | --verbose
40           Tells more on the standard output.
41
42       -c | --clawsrc filename
43           Uses filename as Claws Mail resource configuration file. This sets
44           the full file name overriding any previous setting.
45
46       -h | --help
47           Shows a brief help screen.
48
49       -i | --ignore-versions
50           Ignores any version detected or set by -u option. Almost all
51           options will be available.
52
53       -r | --read-only
54           Edits hidden preferences without saving the changes. It also works
55           while Claws Mail is running.
56
57       -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
62       -v | --version
63           Shows version information for program, Perl-GTK and Claws Mail.
64
65       Weird option specifications may produce weird results (but otherwise
66       correct).
67

LIMITATIONS

69       A running Claws Mail cannot be detected when using the --clawsrc option
70       because the directory containing the given file is not expected to be a
71       full Claws Mail configuration folder. If that is the case use the
72       --alternate-config-dir option instead.
73
74       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. For Claws Mail versions greater than 3.17.8
78       different values for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or XDG_CACHE_HOME may also cause
79       this.
