-* 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).

+ or select it by clicking on the '...' button.

- 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.
