NAME

6       jgmenu-pmenu - generate jgmenu flavoured CSV menu data
7

SYNOPSIS

9       jgmenu_run pmenu [-h | –help] [–append-file <FILE>]
10                        [–prepend-file <FILE>] [–locale <LOCALE>]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Generates  jgmenu flavoured CSV menu data based on .desktop and .direc‐
14       tory files found on the system, but ignores any .menu  files.   Instead
15       of  the  structure  specified  in  the  .menu file, it simply maps each
16       “.desktop” application onto one of the “.directory” categories.   If  a
17       matching “.directory” category does not exist, it tries to cross-refer‐
18       ence “additional categories” to “related categories” in accordance with
19       the XDG menu-spec.  This is a generic approach which avoids Desktop En‐
20       vironment specific rules defined in the .menu file.   It  ensures  that
21       all .desktop files are included in the menu.
22
23       The  root  menu  is appended/prepended by the contents of the following
24       files if they exist:
25
26       · ~/.config/jgmenu/append.csv
27
28       · ~/.config/jgmenu/prepend.csv
