This software facilitates the creation of straightforward dialogs that script authors can present to users. It simplifies the process and enhances the user's experience.
If you're looking for an easy way to construct a simple dialog during script execution, Simple Settings Dialog (SSD) might be exactly what you need. This software, built on the TrollTech QT4 platform, implements the most commonly used widgets from QT and is intended for sys admins for scripting purposes.
With SSD, you can create a dialog in just a few lines. And what's even better is that the output from SSD (when the user has made their choice) is simple and parseable by bash. Whether you choose to store the code or markup for SSD in a separate file or embed it in the bash-script, one-file-scripting is made possible.
Here's an example of how SSD could be useful: Let's say you're a sys admin on a multi user environment and have Firefox and Opera installed on your system. Now, you want to provide your users with the choice of browser the first time they click on the button "Browser". With a bash script and SSD, you can provide the user with a graphical choice dialog.
The aim for SSD has been to make it as simple as possible for script authors to create dialogs. Overall, SSD is a great tool for those who need to build simple dialogs quickly and easily.
