Re: dmenu filtering by genre

[Aleksas Tunikas]

thank you Yoni i used chatgpt to generate this script, to be honest i
don't want to get back there, I read in the manual that you can
manipulate the indexed files roughly the same way that's why i'm asking
about quick access to it, i know you can program it in lisp but being a
taxi driver and not a proficient coder not allowes me to make an
intuitive decission about how to do this.
