Sort By Popularity

Description

The list of programs is sorted by popularity. Each time you run the program, its popularity score increases by 1. The popularity data is saved in the cache file located at: {CACHE_PATH}/dmenu_pop.txt.

Requirements

• One of the following system env shall be set XDG_CACHE_HOME or HOME
• Folder $XDG_CACHE_HOME or $HOME/.cache shall exist

How it works

The order of programs is based on their popularity, with more popular programs appearing first. Programs with the same popularity are ordered according to their position in the cache file.

For example, consider the following programs: A, B1, B2, C

[User input] -> [dmenu output] -> [User's choice] -> {PROGRAM: POPULARITY}
