Lite Tweaks - Suggestions welcomed

[Coastie]

Thanks bitsnpcs, misko and shaggy for adding cleaning Whisker Menu! I know I shouldn't but I still dread using the terminal.

My motto is if I wanted to use a terminal, I would have stayed with DOS in the dark ages.

New version available, thank you to bitsnpcs, misko and shaggy

Thank You misko_2083 for the check recent items

Good job shaggytwodope and Valtam, and thank you for an idea bitsanpcs.

I would just add the check if there are Recent items in the whisker menu.
Something like this.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

# check if whisker menu has recent items
if [ -z "$(cat $HOME/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc | grep "^recent=" | cut -d '=' -f2)" ]; then
whisker_recent=(FALSE "Clean Whisker Recent" "Whisker" "Safe" "Whisker menu has no recent items" )
else
whisker_test=$(cat $HOME/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc | grep "^recent=" | cut -d '=' -f2 | sed 's/,/ /g'| wc -w)
whisker_recent=(FALSE "Clean Whisker Recent" "Whisker" "Safe" "You can currently remove $whisker_test recent items from your whisker menu" )
fi

zenity --list --width=800 --checklist --title="example" --column="select" --column=" " --column=" " --column=" " --column=" " "${whisker_recent[@]}"

Thank You shaggytwodope and Valtam.

Valtam I viewed the github link but didn't make any request, I did do their newbie course last week but cannot relate it very well to github. I learn differently and to me they seem like 2 different unrelated things at the moment. I may look in to github at a future time.

Awesome shaggytwodope thank you
We will also include:

Code: [Select]

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.xfce.Panel /org/xfce/Panel org.xfce.Panel.Terminate boolean:true
Which will reload the panel and clear Recently Used without the need to logout/in.

[shaggytwodope]

Here ya go chaps.

Code: [Select]

sed -i 's/^recent=.*$/recent=/g' ~/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc

[Jerry]

I have a suggestion for Lite Cleaner, an option to empty the "Recently Used" folder in the main menu.

You could make a feature request here - https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin for the Whisker Menu.
Or if some code wizard could come along and suggest a sed command or something similar that replaces line 2 in /home/user/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-*.rc with just recent= A login in/log out would be required for it to take effect.

   Added 'sort' to the kernel cleaner.

Nice job misko

Worked for me... not run it for a while... 315MB cleaned, nice

Out of curiosity... I just ran the "Preview" option in "Bleachbit"... it found this:

Disk space to be recovered: 2.1MB
Files to be deleted: 417

I think .old and archived log files are valid items to remove,

CAUTION ~ DO NOT RUN "BLEACHBIT" unless you really understand the implications

64-bit here, and kernel cleaning worked perfectly. Nice job on this. One thing I do not think is necessary is the checking of large files. I have thousands (hundreds of thousands) of files larger than 50MB. That script would have taken a very very long time The cleaning of other items is much welcome however.

[Jerry]

Thanks Rob, you're welcome.
