Hello, everyone

I've been making a lot of progress on the next release of Tapir, and the implementation of the Tapir syntax is almost complete. Tapir syntax allows you to set menu title image, menu title font and menu item images on the fly using special output from your command. As an example, the following command:

echo "TAPIR%%ICON=logo.png;COLOR=red;FONT=Baskerville/48%%Hello world"

produces a menu that looks like this:

JPEG image


The "logo.png" image is simply added to the list of bundled files. The syntax can of course be changed on the fly, depending on the output of the command/script.

Cheers,
Sveinbjorn Thordarson

I'm working on this for version 1.1 of Tapir.  But I would implement
it so that if a line of output matched something like:
TAPIR%%IMAGE=/path/to/image.gif%%, it would set the icon image to the
icon at that path.


O.K. Thanx. I'll write to a file into /tmp/ then. May you envisage an
option for Tapir to delete the image once loaded? Something like
TAPIR%%IMAGE%DEL=/path/to/image.gif%% for example? It would prevent
file cluttering.

Gilles.
