24 Clawsker is an applet to edit the so called Claws Mail hidden preferences.
26 Claws Mail is a fast, lightweight and feature-rich MUA with a high number
27 of configurable options. To keep the binary small and fast some of these
28 preferences which are not widely used are not provided with a graphical
29 interface for inspection and/or modification.
31 Users wanting to edit such preferences had to face raw editing of their
32 configuration files, now you can do it with a convenient GTK interface
35 In adition to hidden features Clawsker can edit also some other settings
36 which usually can only be set indirectly. These include currently the
37 saved positions (and sizes when available) of Claws Mail windows and all
38 hot key mappings from application menus.
44 =item B<-a> | B<--alternate-config-dir> I<dirname>
46 Uses I<dirname> as Claws Mail configuration directory.
48 =item B<-b> | B<--verbose>
50 Tells more on the standard output.
52 =item B<-c> | B<--clawsrc> I<filename>
54 Uses I<filename> as Claws Mail resource configuration file. This sets
55 the full file name overriding any previous setting.
57 =item B<-h> | B<--help>
59 Shows a brief help screen.
61 =item B<-i> | B<--ignore-versions>
63 Ignores any version detected or set by B<-u> option. Almost all options
66 =item B<-r> | B<--read-only>
68 Edits hidden preferences without saving the changes. It also works while
69 Claws Mail is running.
71 =item B<-u> | B<--use-claws-version> I<version>
73 Uses I<version> as Claws Mail version instead of the real one. The
74 I<version> argument is a list of integers, separated by dots if needed.
76 =item B<-v> | B<--version>
78 Shows version information for program, Perl-GTK and Claws Mail.
82 Weird option specifications may produce weird results (but otherwise correct).
86 A running Claws Mail cannot be detected if using the B<--clawsrc> option
87 because the directory is not assumed to be a Claws Mail configuration dir.
88 If that is the case use the B<--alternate-config-dir> option instead.
90 Detection will also fail if the temporary directory resolution differs.
91 This may happen, for example, when the value of the environment variable
92 B<TMPDIR> under Clawsker is not the same that it was when Claws Mail was
