For those, who are using E17 and run into problems after upgrade to E17 0.17.4 and EFL 1.7.8, you may find useful following script:
#!/bin/bash
TMP=$(mktemp)
TMP2=$(mktemp)
GOOD=1
use_one() {
echo "$CFGFILE"
}
find_all() {
find ~/.e/e/config -name e.cfg
}
if [ "$1" ]; then
fn=use_one
CFGFILE="$1"
else
fn=find_all
fi
while read cfg; do
eet -d "${cfg}" config "$TMP"
# editation is simple
sed 's/\([[:blank:]]*value "show_splash" int: \)1;$/\10;/' "$TMP" > "$TMP2"
# now sanity checks
# was there any change at all?
if cat "$TMP" | md5sum -c <(cat "$TMP2" | md5sum ) &> /dev/null; then
echo "${cfg} wasn't modified"
continue
fi
# do we still have the same size? altering 1 --> 0 shouldn't change it
if [ $(stat --format=%s "$TMP") != $(stat --format=%s "$TMP2") ]; then
echo "Modifying ${cfg} caused size change, probably edited wrong :("
echo "Skipping..."
continue
fi
echo "${cfg} looks good, applying changes"
eet -e "${cfg}" config "$TMP2" 1
done < <($fn)
rm "$TMP" "$TMP2"
It will disable splash screen on your configuration (all profiles) or one file if you specify it manually. Even though it should be harmless, you should still backup your configuration first, for example with:
cp -R ~/.e ~/.e-backup
