ISSUE: Tint2-Manager went empty.

I did something I can’t exactly remember, 10 day’s ago.
But I think mb-tint2-manager went empty after a tint2 log command. I used(source), just to log the output.

The tint2.conf’s are in place, but had no change.
I had a look today at the mb-tint2-manager script. And saw another option available for finding the conf files…

ORIGINAL PART: mb-tint2-manager

findTint(){
## search dirs for tint2 config files
    local file num display
    num=0
    shopt -s globstar

    #for file in "$TINT2PATH"/**;do
    for file in $(find $TINT2PATH -type f -name *tint2rc);do

        [[ -f $file ]] || continue
        [[ $file = *~ ]] && continue # ignore backups
        grep -q "panel_monitor" "$file" || continue # not a tint2rc file
        display=${file#$TINT2PATH/}
       fillArrays $num "$file" "$display"
        num=$((num+1))
    done
    shopt -u globstar
}

Switched the # to the second line. Now it works again.

for file in "$TINT2PATH"/**;do
# for file in $(find $TINT2PATH -type f -name *tint2rc);do

What to do with this situation.

It would be nice to use the original version.

Hi @muzqs
What do you mean it is empty?
Doesn’t it show available configuration files?

I see now why the second line (option) is not working.

*tint2rc with dot *.tint2rc is working.

This is the original from /usr/bin. (latest). this version suddenly didn’t work for me.

# search dirs for tint2 config files
    local file num display
    num=0
    shopt -s globstar
    #for file in "$TINT2PATH"/**;do
    for file in $(find $TINT2PATH -type f -name *tint2rc);do
        [[ -f $file ]] || continue
        [[ $file = *~ ]] && continue # ignore backups
        grep -q "panel_monitor" "$file" || continue # not a tint2rc file
        display=${file#$TINT2PATH/}
        fillArrays $num "$file" "$display"
        num=$((num+1))
    done
    shopt -u globstar
}

I can’t really tell how the configs from the manager disappeard.
But when investing the issue and finaly looking in this file i saw the two lines.
And switching the two lines helped.
