Exactly. And it is the Dolphin process that I am interested in. Whatever it has for the current directory is the one I am interested in. If there is more than one Dolphin, no problem. Whichever Dolphin you click in, the new current directory thing should trigger. The map always shows the status of the last directory for which you did this in any Dolphin.
So you need to create a plug-in for Dolphin. Dolphin will (I assume) somehow expose that information via an API. You can use that to provide input to your program. I know nothing about how to create Dolphin plug-ins - I leave that as an exercise for the reader. :)
I suspect a plugin might be the route. I just cannot believe that the type=inode/directory bits in a [Desktop Entry] cannot also be used. I really think it is a lack of clear documentation on this item more than a lack of functionality. I will keep exploring. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
