When entering things like "alias command1 command2", verve replies with "cannot execute command 'alias'". It also seems to fail at being able to use already set-up aliases, this together significantly decreasing the plugin's potential peak usability.
anyway, it's supposed to be alias command1="command2", but blah: it still doesn't work.
I can confirm this for 1.0.0. Aliases from ~/.profile are not honored.
I too can confirm this.. using bash, .bashrc and/or .bash_aliases version 1.0.0 ( xfce4-verve-plugin_1.0.0-1_i386 ) It would be nice if it noticed the aliases or could make it's own.
Mass-reassign all bugs from florian@ to goodies-dev@, thanks for the maintenance work! (and sorry for the bugmail spam..)
Are there any downsides to running commands through the current shell, such as $SHELL -i -c [command]? This would allow the use of aliases defined in the startup file (e.g. bashrc for bash.) I could make this behavior the default - I don't want to add it to the settings window unless there's a reason to ever turn it off. This would also expand tildes, asterisk wildcards, etc., but only for commands (not for pathnames or web addresses.)
In the next version, running commands through $SHELL will be the default behavior (configurable in properties.)
