Cat'sEyE
The configuration file is called 'catseye_config_file.conf' and Cat'sEyE searches it in the directory '~/.catseye/'.
In this file you define some behaviour of Cat'sEyE, e.g. which directories should be loaded at startup. But there are
many more Options available. Get a complete list here.
You can download the config file in the download section. This file uses every keyphrase used by Cat'sEyE and gives a
short explanation.
The syntax is very easy: Just type in the keyphrase you want to define followed by a colon (':') and the value you want
it to be set. 'key:value', this is called single-structure.
The most keys need an additional information because they are supposed to be viewed in the contextmenu. This means they need
a name. This keys always read two values, where the first is meant to be the name, how it shows up in the contextmenu, and
the second is the value: 'key:name;value', this is called pair-structure.
Further more the most keys are able to read more than one value or (name;value)-pair and there are 2 possible ways
to define more than one value for the same key:
The first just adds on value after each other: 'key:value1;value2;...' 'key:name1;value1;name2;value2;...'
The second uses more lines but has to repeat the keyphrase at every new line: 'key:name1;value1;' next line: 'key:name2;value2'
You can mix up both possibilities.
Lets get some examples:
The keyphrase 'strtdr' tells Cat'sEyE which directories to open in the right view on every start up. It expects the single-structure.
'strtdr:/usr/bin;/home;/dev/ftp'
This tells Cat'sEyE to load all three directories into the right side of the view.
The 'bkmrk:' key on the other hand expects a pairstructure and therefore looks something different:
'bkmrk:music;/usr/media/music;docs;/usr/documents'
This adds 2 items to your bookmarks-contextmenu called music and docs pointing to the directories above.
This syntax is valid for all keys in the config file. However, the syntax of the 'usercommands' have some extensions.
