fvwm-convert-2.6(1)		 Fvwm Modules		   fvwm-convert-2.6(1)

NAME
       fvwm-convert-2.6	 -  convert  fvwm 2.4.x configuration file to fvwm 2.6
       style

SYNOPSIS
       fvwm-convert-2.6 [--follow-read|-f] [--help|-h] source [dest]

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       --help | -h
	      Prints a usage message to the screen.

       --follow-read | -f
	      Follows files found along with the Read command.

DESCRIPTION
       fvwm-convert-2.6 converts an fvwm 2.4.x configuration file into a  fvwm
       2.6  file  with compatible syntax.  It is not suitable to convert older
       2.x configuration files.	 Please use fvwm-convert-2.2 to convert	 these
       to the 2.2.x format first, and then if necessary fvwm-convert-2.4

       By  default, fvwm-convert-2.6 won't look for a given config file.  This
       must be specified as the first parameter to fvwm-convert-2.6.   Differ‐
       ent source and destination files may be given.  If the destination file
       already exists, this program exits.  If no destination file  is	given,
       then  the  filename is the same name as the source file with the suffix
       ".converted" added.  Without an absolute path given as the  destination
       path  to	 the destination file, the program will create the destination
       file in the CWD.

       fvwm-convert-2.6 makes the following changes:

       Style lines
	   In fvwm 2.4, most style options could be negated from  their	 coun‐
	   terparts using NoFoo -- fvwm-convert-2.6 corrects this by now using
	   !Foo.

       ModulePath
	   In fvwm 2.4 and beyond,  the	 ModulePath  is	 compiled  into	 fvwm.
	   fvwm-convert-2.6 comments out any ModulePath commands it finds.  If
	   you are using your own modules, (not the ones that come with fvwm),
	   you	will have to fix your configuration file after using fvwm-con‐
	   vert-2.6.

       Conditional command syntax
	   In fvwm 2.4, the conditional command options were  whitespace-sepa‐
	   rated  -- they should now be comma-separated instead.  In addition,
	   the older syntax to Next and Prev of using [*] to denote  all  win‐
	   dows	 has been removed entirely.  Both these checks and conversions
	   are done on function commands, key/mouse bindings.

       WindowShadeSteps
	   In fvwm 2.4, the WindowShadeSteps command is replaced by  the  Win‐
	   dowShadeSteps Style option.	fvwm-convert-2.6 makes this change.

       FvwmTheme
	   In  fvwm  2.6, the FvwmTheme module is replaced by a series of Col‐
	   orset commands.  Whilst fvwm-convert-2.6 will  try  and  make  this
	   change,  it is still recommended that this is checked after conver‐
	   sion.

       EdgeResistance
	   In fvwm 2.6, the  EdgeResistance  command  is  has  been  split  to
	   include  an	additional style option for EdgeMoveResistance.	 fvwm-
	   convert-2.6 makes any changes necessary.

       StartFunction / RestartFunction / InitFunction
	   In fvwm 2.6, the need for using InitFunction and/or RestartFunction
	   is  redundant  when	StartFunction  is read at both of these times.
	   fvwm-convert-2.6 attempts to convert this.

       Read
	   If -f or --follow-read is given,  any  files	 fvwm-convert-2.6  can
	   detect  and	open  will  be converted automatically, else a list of
	   files that can be followed are printed to the screen.

       BUGS

	      InitFunction and RestartFunction	and  hence  StartFunction  are
	      printed  at the end of the files -- this slight reordering might
	      put some comments before in an odd spot.

	      When converting over FvwmTheme lines, the	 colorset  definitions
	      might well be broken, but these cannot easily be converted.

	      Bug  reports  can	 be sent to the fvwm-workers mailing list (see
	      the FAQ).
