GUI Ldd for Porteus with folder search

Hi Team,

Can I provide an application that I found useful from another distro.

I believe they might have developed that App, could not found in Github,

This is a gui version Ldd and it has options of folder search as well via context menu.

This is a gtkdialog script. Thought it might be useful for everybody. Thanks. :) :) :)

Hello Testuser,

Most Linux stuff is open-source no matter who developed it. Post the app and if we find it restricted we will remove it.

Hi Ed_P

Thanks .

Please find the download link of created xzm file. I have added context menu for folders.

For adding context menu for executable binaries, I had to manually add below line in mimeapps.list file in .config folder (not included in this package)

[Added Associations]
video/mp4=vlc.desktop;
application/x-executable=p7zip.desktop;listdd.desktop;

https://www.mediafire.com/file/q1hivv63 ... 2.xzm/file

Hope this will be useful to us.

For folder search the file /etc/DISTRO_SPECS was required and I modified the file to show Porteus OS in the results.

I found this highly useful :Yahoo!: :crazy: :celebrate3: since I always need to check libraries for making xzm files. Thought sharing with your guys.

Why is vlc needed for a ListDD module?
Cheers!

Hi Rava,

That was the mimeapps.list in my profile which I used to open VLC for .mp4 file.

I have removed that and added association in the desktop file of GUI LDD itself.

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=ListDD
Icon=/usr/local/ListDD/icons/listdd.svg
Comment=List dynamic dependencies
Exec=listdd_wrapper
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;
GenericName=List dynamic dependencies
MimeType=inode/directory;application/x-executable;application/x-sharedlib;
:)
