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

since I always need to check libraries for making xzm files. Thought sharing with your guys.

Why is vlc needed for a ListDD module?

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.
