Openbox: List Steam Games - Viomi_mybb_import13610 - 02-05-2016

This is a bash script for Openbox that lists all of your installed steam games in your little openbox window thing.

[Image: CJx6EeN.png]

Code:
#This script is a generally used Openbox pipe menu to list all currently installed steam games as well as launch them.

#To install:

#Put this script in ~./config/openbox/scripts/steam.sh (or elsewhere if you want to edit the below <menu>)

#Add the below line to menu.xml (without the comment of course)

#<menu execute="~/.config/openbox/scripts/steam.sh" id="steam" label="Steam"/>

#!/bin/bash

STEAMAPPS=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps

echo '<openbox_pipe_menu>'

echo '<item label="Launch Steam"><action name="Execute"><execute>steam</execute></action></item>'

echo '<separator/>'

for file in $STEAMAPPS/*.acf ; do

   ID=$(grep '"appid"' "$file" | head -1 | awk -F\" '{print $4}')

   NAME=$(grep '"name"' "$file" | head -1 | awk -F\" '{print $4}')

   echo "<item label=\"$NAME\"><action name=\"Execute\"><execute>steam -applaunch $ID</execute></action></item>"

done

echo '</openbox_pipe_menu>'

Pretty straightforward if I do say so myself.

Thanks for this Vi, life saver bb

No problem!

I'm glad this is useful to some of you. I'll be uploading some similar scripts in the future (I'm an openbox minimalist nerd)

I have before.

For a long time I was the owner of #v! (crunchvbang), an offshoot of #! (crunchbang). It basically came with vlc and some other, more minimal programs than what #! came with. As well as scripts (such as the one in the OP) to make things easier and cleaner, and my custom openbox theme.

It's a linux distro that's now dead (sadly), however it has been resurrected by bunsenlabs.

It's based off debian jessie and uses openbox for it's desktop manager. Very clean and easy to install.

its good, sadly the better shits are for windows

I'm not really sure what you're referring to.

Valve is moving all of their games and their systems over to linux because Windows is screwing gaming over in their newer OSes
Open source and KISS thinking is becoming popular and understood
People are beginning to value the customization of linux distros

To be honest, I have trouble using windows more than linux because all of the things I want to use work better on linux.
