Mass theme import?

[K0K0SHA]

How come I currently have to import themes 1 by 1? bug recreation: First run installer EDIT: on Mint. Now open gedit and go to preferences then font and color, then hit plus sign to add a theme. Select all themes in the directory you installed to. Notice only the first gets imported.

fix ideas: I'll clone this repo and add working installer for Linux which places the themes in the proper directory

going to ask GPT where gedit stores and references themes

cloned repo under my account and added readme.md

install.sh is dumb in several ways. Here is the source code:

#!/bin/sh
set -v
mkdir -p $HOME/.gnome2/gedit/styles
cp ./*.xml $HOME/.gnome2/gedit/styles/.

It's dumb because not every distro uses gnome. Ubuntu usually uses GNOME, but Mint does not. Other distros may not. Thus creating an install.sh for gnome2 is intolerant, non-robust, and incompatible. I'm going to move the themes to the config directory in gedit default location ~/.local/share/gedit/styles

removed install scriptt

replacing the content of the install with the following allows mass theme importation:

#!/bin/bash

# this install.sh works with both repos above
# be sure to check readme

styles_dir="$HOME/.local/share/gedit/styles"

if [ ! -d "$styles_dir" ]; then
  echo "The directory $styles_dir does not exist."
  echo "Check gedit config file, as you may need to edit it"
  # TODO attempt gedit config edit if user wants
  exit 1
fi

# ensure there is at least one theme in current directory 

shopt -s nullglob

xml_files=(*.xml)

if [ ${#xml_files[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "No XML files found in the current directory."
  echo "Ensure you are in the correct directory with style xml files."
  exit 1
fi

# functional one liner (most important line of code)
cp ./*.xml $styles_dir

echo "Themes copied to $styles_dir"
echo "Contents of $styles_dir (user-installed themes):"
ls $styles_dir
