There are three things worth noting: 1. You can shut up the confirmation dialogs: Settings->Dialogs. 2. The confirmation dialogs usually come up with default setting at "No". You can press "Tab" and then "Enter" to execute "Yes". If you use a theme like detour (http://code.google.com/p/detour/), it actually highlights the option "Yes" or "No" that is currently chosen. 3. If you want to logout immediately, give the -exit option to enlightenment_remote. >> Once you have setup your key, mouse, etc bindings you can use this script >> to store them as a bash executable file (a lot of other settings are also >> stored): >> http://ppurka.googlepages.com/e17_setup.sh > > > Thanks again! does this mean I can save the setup to a file and then > load that file into an e17 installation on another linux install to > "clone" the environment.

Only a part of the settings can be stored, depending on how much enlightenment_remote supports and how much the script can automatically save. In particular, you can never get back your shelf settings, but you will get back all the modules that you want loaded. I mainly use this to backup my key, mouse, wheel and signal bindings and my window focus settings. There is one drawback which I have not been able to address: if you run the output produced by this script, that should delete all the current key/mouse/signal/wheel bindings and then introduce your settings; however some *duplicates* remain. I think e17 does not allow you to delete certain keybindings, mousebindings, etc. The output file it creates is a bash script. You can easily open the output file in an editor and see what commands the output file will potentially run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
