            1 tidy
            2 ======
            3 
            4 Description
            5 -----------
            6 This patch introduces an easy way of reducing the amount of programs that are searched
            7 through and shown in dmenu by using $DMENU_PATH as the primary source of programs and $PATH
            8 as a fallback in case $DMENU_PATH is not configured. To configure the new environment variable
            9 put something like the following into your ~/.xinitirc for example:
           10 
           11     export DMENU_PATH="/home/${USER}/.local/bin"
           12 
           13 Please note, that even if you have $DMENU_PATH configured, programs must still be available
           14 in $PATH! A sensible way to achieve this would be via symlinks for example:
           15 
           16     ln -s /usr/bin/<program> ~/.local/bin/.
           17 
           18 Please also note, that this patch also gets rid of caching any applications, since I
           19 don't see any reason for it to be kept, especially since we are trying to tidy up.
