I was wondering if you can have more than one popup.rc file. It seems that one of my themes have a customized popup.rc, which is different from my other various themes. I just wanted to know if there is any way to enable seperate popup.rc files so when i switch themes, I don't have to switch the popup.rc files too.

Here's the text for a more understandable illustration:

The first two or so lines are noticably different. Any suggestions?

uhhh...does the theme work?

uhhhhh... The popup.rc you are talking about is the personal popup, right?

If so it should load for any (OTS2) theme...

Did you use Omars installer?

uhhhhhhh... sorry, I just wanted to say uhhhhhhh...

fractal: Complex Simplicity currently edits the popup.rc file to implement a custom right-click popup. Hopefully Complex Simplicity will have an updated release sometime soon, since the problem of editing personal\popup.rc has been fixed.

Now, that bit done, what, OP, do you actually want to do? Give an exampe or two of the behavior you want; because I can think of at least three ways (and the three do not have to be exclusive) to interpret your question.

What do you mean fixed?

Why would a theme edit the popup.rc!!!

you can just add this instead: *jDeskMButton2 [.none;!none;!PopupThemeSomething;!none] ;right-click popup menu

???

Does that override the *jdeskmbutton2 in the personal.rc? If so, does it work for both omar's rc3 and xstep build?

Dunno, Either way overwriting that (1)line would be better than overwriting the entire !popup

True... although themes should never touch anything in the \personal folder in the first place, of course.

True.

Lets smite teh Complex Simplicity maker!!!

fixed: if you load mzscript after the popup module, and have it make a bang called !popup...done. Just give that script one line, to exec ANOTHER popup, and you've replaced the OTS2 one, without editing any files, or breaking OTS2. Thus far, there just does not appear to have been a release of a newer version that incorporates this.

Would that work with xStep???... I suppose it would actually...

ps: I used to do that, I think...

Nice, works perfectly. Think I'll have to mess with it in my next theme.
