Re: [ANNOUNCE] Foal 0.6 with install-menu support

Would it be possible to modify foalrc so that a menu item changed itself
when it was ran?

For instance, would it be possible to configure a button which when pressed
mounts the compact flash card(mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf) and changes
it's icon to an eject icon(i can send you one in xpm if you can't find one)
and when pressed again unmounts the compactflash card (umount /mnt/cf) and
changes back to the mount icon.

Is there someway to modify the foalrc to do this, or does it require
modifications to the foal source?

thanks

ben
