PROGRAM:
NAME
fvwm-convert-2.6 - convert fvwm 2.4.x configuration file to fvwm 2.6 style
SYNOPSIS
fvwm-convert-2.6 [--follow-read|-f] [--help|-h] source [dest]
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--help | -h
Prints a usage message to the screen.
--follow-read | -f
Follows files found along with the Read command.
DESCRIPTION
fvwm-convert-2.6 converts an fvwm 2.4.x configuration file into a fvwm 2.6 file with
compatible syntax. It is not suitable to convert older 2.x configuration files. Please
use fvwm-convert-2.2 to convert these to the 2.2.x format first, and then if necessary
fvwm-convert-2.4
By default, fvwm-convert-2.6 won't look for a given config file. This must be specified
as the first parameter to fvwm-convert-2.6. Different source and destination files may be
given. If the destination file already exists, this program exits. If no destination
file is given, then the filename is the same name as the source file with the suffix
".converted" added. Without an absolute path given as the destination path to the
destination file, the program will create the destination file in the CWD.
fvwm-convert-2.6 makes the following changes:
Style lines
In fvwm 2.4, most style options could be negated from their counterparts using NoFoo
-- fvwm-convert-2.6 corrects this by now using !Foo.
ModulePath
In fvwm 2.4 and beyond, the ModulePath is compiled into fvwm. fvwm-convert-2.6
comments out any ModulePath commands it finds. If you are using your own modules,
(not the ones that come with fvwm), you will have to fix your configuration file after
using fvwm-convert-2.6.
Conditional command syntax
In fvwm 2.4, the conditional command options were whitespace-separated -- they should
now be comma-separated instead. In addition, the older syntax to Next and Prev of
using [*] to denote all windows has been removed entirely. Both these checks and
conversions are done on function commands, key/mouse bindings.
WindowShadeSteps
In fvwm 2.4, the WindowShadeSteps command is replaced by the WindowShadeSteps Style
option. fvwm-convert-2.6 makes this change.
FvwmTheme
In fvwm 2.6, the FvwmTheme module is replaced by a series of Colorset commands.
Whilst fvwm-convert-2.6 will try and make this change, it is still recommended that
this is checked after conversion.
EdgeResistance
In fvwm 2.6, the EdgeResistance command is has been split to include an additional
style option for EdgeMoveResistance. fvwm-convert-2.6 makes any changes necessary.
StartFunction / RestartFunction / InitFunction
In fvwm 2.6, the need for using InitFunction and/or RestartFunction is redundant when
StartFunction is read at both of these times. fvwm-convert-2.6 attempts to convert
this.
Read
If -f or --follow-read is given, any files fvwm-convert-2.6 can detect and open will
be converted automatically, else a list of files that can be followed are printed to
the screen.
BUGS
InitFunction and RestartFunction and hence StartFunction are printed at the end of
the files -- this slight reordering might put some comments before in an odd spot.
When converting over FvwmTheme lines, the colorset definitions might well be
broken, but these cannot easily be converted.
Bug reports can be sent to the fvwm-workers mailing list (see the FAQ).
