This small script register mime-type for: *.pb, *.pbi, *.pbf and make a menu-entry on any
freedesktop.org compatible distribution (tested on ubuntu, CentOS and some others)!

Before you can use this script, you have to install purebasic with methode 1, described in install.

Script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# Goto home
cd $HOME
# Make sure, dir exist
mkdir -p .local/share/mime/packages
# change to dir for purebasic.xml
cd .local/share/mime/packages
# purebasic.xml create
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" > purebasic.xml
echo "<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "	<mime-type type=\"text/purebasic\">" >> purebasic.xml
echo "		<comment>PureBasic source code</comment>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "		<glob pattern=\"*.pb\"/>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "		<glob pattern=\"*.pbi\"/>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "		<glob pattern=\"*.pbf\"/>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "	</mime-type>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "</mime-info>" >> purebasic.xml

# change to home
cd $HOME
# Make sure, dir exist
mkdir -p .local/share/applications
# change to dir for PureBasic.desktop
cd .local/share/applications
# PureBasic.desktop create
echo "[Desktop Entry]" > PureBasic.desktop
echo "Comment=PureBasic IDE" >> PureBasic.desktop
echo "Terminal=false" >> PureBasic.desktop
echo "Name=PureBasic" >> PureBasic.desktop
echo "Type=Application" >> PureBasic.desktop
echo "MimeType=text/purebasic" >> PureBasic.desktop
echo "Categories=Development;" >> PureBasic.desktop
# check environment var
if [ "$PUREBASIC_HOME" == "" ]
then
	echo "Exec=${HOME}/purebasic/compilers/purebasic" >> PureBasic.desktop
	echo "Icon=${HOME}/purebasic/logo.png" >> PureBasic.desktop
else
	echo "Exec=${PUREBASIC_HOME}/compilers/purebasic" >> PureBasic.desktop
	echo "Icon=${PUREBASIC_HOME}/logo.png" >> PureBasic.desktop
fi

# Update Databases
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
update-mime-database    ~/.local/share/mime
After saving, don't forget to make the script executable and run it as user (no root required!)

Download script

Greetings - Thomas

// Update:
you will find this script in your purebasic-dir (>=PB540B9) as "register.sh" :wink:

That's quite a script! I copied it to a file I named PBlinker.sh. Now I am going to have to make time to go through it and make sure it is compatible with my PureBasic tree of folders. I'm forced to arrange things by folders just to get some sence of order to everything I have downloaded from several sites. I really appreciate your having gone to all this effort!

Awesome :!:

Added one more entry:

Code: Select all

echo "StartupNotify=true" >> PureBasic.desktop
just before:

Code: Select all

# check environment var
With this addition you can add PureBasic to your favorites in GNOME 3 :mrgreen:
(mouse/trackpad right click on PureBasic icon inside favorites bar while app is running...)

Sweet 8)

Should it be run automatically in the ./launch script, or should it be a seperate file ?

I think, a seperate file is better.

If the script is in the folder distribution

Code: Select all

# check environment var
if [ "$PUREBASIC_HOME" == "" ]
then
   echo "Exec=${HOME}/purebasic/compilers/purebasic" >> PureBasic.desktop
   echo "Icon=${HOME}/purebasic/logo.png" >> PureBasic.desktop
else
   echo "Exec=${PUREBASIC_HOME}/compilers/purebasic" >> PureBasic.desktop
   echo "Icon=${PUREBASIC_HOME}/logo.png" >> PureBasic.desktop
fi
Can be replaced by

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
 
ABSOLUTE_FILENAME=`readlink -e "$0"`
DIRECTORY=`dirname "$ABSOLUTE_FILENAME"`

# Goto home
cd $HOME
# Make sure, dir exist
mkdir -p .local/share/mime/packages
# change to dir for purebasic.xml
cd .local/share/mime/packages
# purebasic.xml create
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" > purebasic.xml
echo "<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "   <mime-type type=\"text/purebasic\">" >> purebasic.xml
echo "      <comment>PureBasic source code</comment>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "      <glob pattern=\"*.pb\"/>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "      <glob pattern=\"*.pbi\"/>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "      <glob pattern=\"*.pbf\"/>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "   </mime-type>" >> purebasic.xml
echo "</mime-info>" >> purebasic.xml

# change to home
cd $HOME
# Make sure, dir exist
mkdir -p .local/share/applications
# change to dir for PureBasic.desktop

Added *.pbp to the list of extensions and cleaned ts-soft's version a bit:

Code: Select all

If I run the Purebasic 5.60 included register.sh on my Ubuntu Mate 17.04,
I get an error: register.sh: 36: [: unexpected operator
