Rusty Dmenu Launcher

The entire purpose of this utility is to read .desktop entries and pipe them to something like dmenu or rofi.

I made this thing as a replacement for j4-dmenu-desktop (which at the time simply didn't work on my machine for some reason), which in turn is a replacement for i3-dmenu-desktop.

Usage

Simply running rdl will open up dmenu with desktop entries located in /usr/share/applications. You can set your dmenu command, terminal for terminal applications and paths where .desktop files are located with command line parameters.

Config

Check out the example config.
