NAME

       GWorkspace - GNUstep Workspace Manager

SYNOPSIS

       GWorkspace

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the GWorkspace GNUstep application.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because
       the original program does not have a manual page.

       GWorkspace is the official GNUstep workspace manager. It is a clone of NeXT's workspace manager.
       GWorkspace is probably one of the most useful and usable workspace managers available on any platform, owing to its well-designed interface
       and the natural, consistent design that it inherits from the GNUstep framework.

       The first time you run GWorkspace you must set some preferences:
       GWorkspace  needs  a  default  editor  to  work. It can also be an app-wrapper.	To set your editor, open the preferences window and choose
       "Default Editor" from the pop-up, then click on the "choose" button: from an open-panel you will be able to  browse  your  directories  and
       choose the editor.
       GWorkspace  lets  you  open  a  terminal on the current directory (alt-t).  To set your preferred terminal (the default is "xterm"), choose
       "XTerminal" from the pop-up.

MODULES

       Besides its standard Contents Inspectors, that is, App, Folder, Image, Sound, Pdf-Ps, Rtf, text,  Plist,  Strings  and  Inspector  viewers,
       GWorkspace  can	dynamically  load  other  modules which you can build separately. It is sufficient to put them in a place where GWorkspace
       looks for them, for example: ~/GNUstep/Library/GWorkspace.
       In the same way you can add other viewers besides the standard Browser, Icon and Small Icons viewers.  If you want to write a new inspector
       or a new viewer, take a look in the Template directory.

LANGUAGES

       GWorkspace speaks English, French, German, Italian and Romanian.

MAKE_SERVICES(1)					       GNUstep System Manual						  MAKE_SERVICES(1)

NAME

       make_services - generate GNUstep services info

SYNOPSIS

       make_services [--test filename ] [--verbose|--quiet]

DESCRIPTION

       make_services builds a validated cache of service information for use by programs that want to access the GNUstep services facility.  Addi-
       tionally, it builds a list of applications and service bundles found in the standard directories. This cache is usually stored in the  file
       named .GNUstepServices in the user's GNUstep directory.

       Most  commonly,	make_services  is  called from within the GNUstep.sh or GNUstep.csh script to update the service information everytime the
       GNUstep environmet is set up, i.e.  in a login script. But of course it is possible to run make_services from the command line whenever you
       wish, for example after having installed a new application or service.

       The Services menu in an application's mainmenu is usually updated automatically. However, it may be neccessary to close an open or torn off
       menu for the changes to appear.	Also, the workspace manager may have to be closed and restarted  for  file  association  changes  to  take
       effect.

OPTIONS

       --test filename
	      check that property list filename contains a valid service information.

       --quiet
	      suppress warnings (not recommended but useful in login scripts).

       --verbose
	      give verbose output.

       --help show small help screen.

EXAMPLES

       Simply rebuild the cache of service information:

       make_services

       Check whether the file ServiceInfo.plist contains a valid service description:

       make_services --test ServiceInfo.plist

NOTES

       Giving both --quiet and --verbose on the command line will result in verbose output, ignoring the --quiet argument.
