<div>I would make a bash script that does what you want and add it to a directory your path, then just call it from a launcher and be done with it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ex.: make an executable called joeview and put it in /usr/local/bin or ~/bin (and make sure that's in your path!):</div>
<div>$ cat joeview</div>
<div>#!/bin/bash</div>
<div>nohup gwenview filename.jpg >/dev/null 2>&1 &</div>
<div>$</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Alt+F2 joeview enter</div>
<div>You probably wouldn't even need nohup or the & at that point!</div>

<br>Thanks very much! This works. I gwenview now stays open when I<br>closet terminal.<br><br>So I just have to wonder, is there perhaps yet a further syntax<br>option so that gwenview stays open and terminal automatically closes<br>
without requiring the extra step of manually closing it?<br><br><br><br>---------------------------------------------------<br>PLUG-discuss mailing list - <a href="mailto:PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org">PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a><br>
