Custom Screenlets Manager script with cli mode (now screenletsd in whise's branch!)

[some-guy]

I didn't want to annoy whise about it anymore so I made a bash script to replace /usr/bin/screenlets-manager :D

Options:
--gui Open up the Graphical Interface
--cli Use the Command Line interface
Cli Options (only use one at a time):
run Run the Screenlet
au Add the Screenlet to your autostart list

I could make a more proper way of loading the screenlets, where it would store a config somewhere and only have 1 entry in autostart, but I wanted to follow the method the 'real' screenlets-manager follows :D

[whise]

pretty neat do you want me to include it in the core? ill replace screenletsd with this?

[some-guy]

if you want, but I was thinking that if it was going to be in the core, why not mod screenlets-manager to put auto start options in somewhere like ~/.config/screenlets.lst or something. Then I can mod this script to be able to read/write that file and load all of them at once which will also make allow having only one entry for all screenlets :D

so all it needed to contain would be the path to the screenlets, like
/usr/share/screenlets/WallpaperClock/WallpaperclockScreenlet.py
~/.screenlets/SmoothWeather/SmoothWeatherScreenlet.py
...

[whise]

why would you like to load all the screenlets at once?

[some-guy]

good question...
I guess there is no reason :p
never mind, yeah you can include it as it is :D
Maybe its time I upgrade to your branch :D
EDIT: Just upgraded, much better than before :D

[whise]

done ... nice job , ill update the credits later
