Customizing the Desktop with rules

Specifying actions

In the example in ``Structure of rule files'', the action is a single command to run the Edit program with suitable arguments, depending on the files that were dragged onto its icon.

A list of the names of the files dragged onto the icon is provided in the variable dynamic_args. So, for example, if the icons chapter1 and chapter2 were dragged onto the Edit icon the action would be to run the command:

edit -merge chapter1 chapter2
