-* newscache_clean.pl
+* nautilus2sylpheed.sh
- WHAT IT DOES AND WHY IT DOES IT
- This perl script cleans up in '$HOME/.sylpheed/newscache'. Currently
- the newscache becomes littered with old directories and files - when
- you subscribe to a newsgroup a sub-directory gets created for it in
- ~/.sylpheed/newscache/[nntpserver], should you unsubscribe from the
- group the sub-directory does not get deleted. Until this is done
- internally this script will take care of some tidying up.
-
- This script removes directory trees of nntp servers that you no longer
- have an account for. Where an account exists it removes directories
- and files of those groups to which you are no longer subscribed.
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ This script will recursively attach a number of selected
+ files/directories from Nautilus to a new blank e-mail.
HOW TO USE IT
- Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
-
- perl newscache_clean.pl

- This script uses the File::Path module, if you don't already have it
- installed, you can find it at the CPAN search site

-* sylpheed-switcher
-
- WHAT IT DOES
- This perl script is for users who like to move between the main
- sylpheed branch and the claws branch. Because of some differences
- between the stored options it is better IMO to use two separate
- '.sylpheed' directory trees. Doing that manually could prove to
- be tiresome, and so I've written this script to automate the task.
-
- The first time you run this script you enter the full paths,
- including the executable itself, to both the main version of
- sylpheed and the claws version. This information is then stored
- in a file in your $HOME directory called '.sylpheed-switcher'
-
- During this initial set-up, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
- is copied to '~/.sylpheed-main' and '~/.sylpheed-claws'.
-
- When you run sylpheed via this script, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
- is deleted and replaced with a symbolic link to either
- ~/.sylpheed-main' or '~/sylpheed-claws', depending on the option you
- choose. (On subsequent usage the symbolic link is deleted and replaced
- with a new symbolic link).
+ OpenOffice.org Version 1.0
+ --------------------------
+ Start up OpenOffice.org.
+ Go to 'Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/External Programs'
+ Enter the path to OOo2sylpheed.pl in the 'Program' box
+ or select it by clicking on the '...' button.
- HOW TO USE IT
- Initial set-up
- Enter the full paths to the executable, including the executable itself,
- example:
-
- ./sylpheed-switcher --claws-path=/usr/local/bin/sylpheed
- --main-path=/usr/bin/sylpheed
-
- After the initial set-up, use the following:
-
- ./sylpheed-switcher --claws (to run sylpheed-claws)
- ./sylpheed-switcher --main (to run sylpheed main)
-
- Additionally you can append --debug to run in debug mode.
- Use --help for more info.
-
- This script uses the File::Path and Getopt::Long modules, if you don't
- already have them installed, you can find them at the CPAN search site
