NAME¶

Clawsker - A Claws Mail Tweaker

SYNOPSIS¶

clawsker [-a|--alternate-config-dir dirname] [-b|--verbose] [-c|--clawsrc filename] [-r|--read-only]

clawsker [-v|--version]

clawsker [-h|--help]

DESCRIPTION¶

Clawsker is an applet to edit the so called Claws Mail hidden preferences.

Claws Mail is a fast, lightweight and feature-rich MUA with a high number of configurable options. To keep the binary small and fast some of these preferences which are not widely used are not provided with a graphical interface for inspection and/or modification.

Users wanting to edit such preferences had to face raw editing of their configuration files, now you can do it with a convenient GTK2 interface using Clawsker.

In adition to hidden features Clawsker can edit also some other settings which usually can only be set indirectly. These include currently the saved positions (and sizes when available) of Claws Mail windows.

OPTIONS¶

-a | --alternate-config-dir dirname

Uses dirname as Claws Mail configuration directory.

-b | --verbose

Tells more on the standard output.

-c | --clawsrc filename

Uses filename as Claws Mail resource configuration file. This sets the full file name overriding any previous setting.

-h | --help

Shows a brief help screen.

-r | --read-only

Edits hidden preferences without saving the changes. It also works while Claws Mail is running.

-v | --version

Shows version information for program, Perl-GTK and Claws Mail.

Weird option specifications may produce weird results (but otherwise correct).

LIMITATIONS¶

A running Claws Mail cannot be detected if using the --clawsrc option because the directory is not assumed to be a Claws Mail configuration dir. If that is the case use the --alternate-config-dir option instead.
