=head1 GTK+ BASH FILE CHOOSER |
| 2 |

B<gtkbfc> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+ |
| 4 |
|
|
file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that you to use |
| 5 |
|
|
readline tab-completion to enter filenames. |
| 6 |
|
|
|
| 7 |
|
|
Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work |
| 8 |
|
|
for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though. |

=head2 INSTALLATION |
| 11 |
|
|
|
| 12 |
|
|
Install rxvt-unicode. Then copy the F<gtkbfc-helper> to F</etc/> and make |
| 13 |
|
|
sure its executable and opens a window where you can enter a filename when |
| 14 |
|
|
executed as F</etc/gtkbfc-helper>, which will then be echod to stdout. |
| 15 |
|
|
|
| 16 |
|
|
Then run F<make>, this will create a F<gtkbfc.so> shared object. You |
| 17 |
|
|
have to specify this shared object as LD_PRELOAD when running gtk |
| 18 |
|
|
programs. Either manually: |
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/gtkbfc.so gimp |
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
Via an alias: |
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
alias gimp='LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/gtkbfc.so gimp' |
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
Or by putting it into your F</etc/ld.so.preload> (not really recommended |
| 27 |
|
|
for performance reasons). |
