Hi,
I'm trying to get fvwm-root to use an image piped to it. I thought if I
used /dev/stdin as the filename it would work. It doesn't. I'm using
this command:
$ convert file.jpg png:/dev/stdout | fvwm-root -r /dev/stdin
This is what I get:
[fvwm-root] failed to load image file '/proc/self/fd/0'
/dev/stdin being a symlink isn't the problem. I checked to see if
fvwm-root decides if the file is a png or xpm by extension or content.
It decides by content (ie I copied file.png to file and tried it).
Is this a bug? Is there a way around it? I guess I could use temporary
files, but that ugly...
TIA
