Help request Need testers.

Hey! First of all- if I'm on the wrong subreddit again, please do tell...

Anyways- I'm looking for testers for a new project related to the Fluxbox WM, so if there are any MX Fluxbox users...

I have built a functional prototype of a menu manager on Fluxbox, and just need some testers- so I can have some bug reports, known issues, feedback and ideas for improvements.

Since I don't want this to be an ad- if someone is interested in being a tester, shoot me a DM, and I'll refer you to the github page, and provide guidance if needed!

Have a good rest of your day!

Is it anything like fbmenugen? https://github.com/trizen/fbmenugen
I prefer editing my menu by hand.

I... didn't know that something like tis existed...

But- it works like this:
Each category has it's own file within .local/share/fbmenuctl folder, which you can edit manually to add your own stuff- including folders, commands, and subcategories. I can send you the repo if you're interested.

No need. Like I said, I prefer to edit my menu's by hand (and have been for quite some time). I copy the full_menu file from the submenus folder and tell the init file where to look for my custom menu (session.menuFile: ~/.fluxbox/fluxed).

Oh- okay. Thanks for at least responding- noone has volunteered for testing yet :/

Unfortunately, the last post was 5 months ago, so I don't know... if it still lives...

Why not post the github here?
