E17 Extramenu module

This is a simple module I have initially written for the OpenGeu distribution. The module is able to generate as many new submenu as you want in the enlightenemnt main menu. The new menus can have unlimited submenus and the names can be translated trough a simple text file.

The menu are generated from .menu & .directory files as per freedesktop.org standars. So you can also use all the existing (fdo compliant) menus. See the README file for details on how to use it, and read the specification to know how to write good and powerfull .menu files. There is also a sample menu package included in the distribution, that can be used as reference.

Download

Extramenu code is mainteined on svn, use this command to check out:

svn checkout http://e17mods.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/MODULES/extramenu

Install

Untar the module, compile and install as usual.

./configure
make
sudo make install

To try the sample_data simply extract the sample.tgz package in your ~/.e/e directory. Note that maybe you have to adjust some paths inside the menu files.
