/usr/share/mx-conky-data bloat

[dolphin_oracle]

so after we get done with the work on a new mx-conky and revised dependency chain, the mx-conky-data themes will be completely removable. user could copy whatever they want to home, then remove the package if there is a desire for fine-tuning.

I'm not separating the theme set into mulitiple -per- theme packages, and unless I were to do that, then any files removed would just come back in an update.

Thank you for the suggestion. It actually spurred me/us to rework the depends so that the themes are removable at all without removing the mx-conky tool.

@AA BB if you're really desperate for a basic gui, try this

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

conky_usrlist=$( ls -d /usr/share/mx-conky-data/themes/*/ )
conky_homelist=$( ls -d $HOME/.conky/*/ )
conkylist=($conky_usrlist $conky_homelist)

for i in ${conkylist[@]}; do
    conkyarray+=(false $i)
done

removelist=$(yad --title="Delete Conkys" --class="deleteconkys" \
--width=400 --height=600 --center \
--list --checklist --no-headers --separator=" " \
--text="Select conkys to delete" \
--column=check --column=path \
${conkyarray[@]}
)

case $? in
    0 )
        pkexec bash -c "rm -rf $removelist"
    ;;
    1 | 252
        exit 0
    ;;
esac

exit 0

2Aug25 updated conky mgr is a great improvement, but only allows for single conky deletes....users should be able to delete multiple conkys with one click

Wow!!!
The devs went out of their way to update MX Conky for a feature you were looking for and it is still not good enough for you. (I'm just saying)

@Adrian Please make the conky AT LEAST 100mb now.

I could try, unfortunately right now it's only a bloated 429 KB...

...users should be able to delete multiple conkys with one click

did you try my script?

imho deleting multiple conkys in one go is a very niche use-case and not necessary in mx-conky.

You can use thunar, terminal or my script.

I think the best thing to do for anal retentive people is to copy the conky(s) they use to ~/.conky and just uninstall mx-conky-data which is now removable.

[Melber]

yep. If you want them all gone just uninstall mx-conky-data.
