[Slackbuilds-users] SweetHome3D tiny improvement

[Jeremy Hansen]

I'm the current maintainer of SweetHome3D.

It shouldn't be an issue to modify the scripts to take a single argument,
or multiple arguments if the binary supports it (I'll need to do some
testing -- I didn't even realize it took arguments, since I've always
launched it via the "start" menu and didn't dig too deeply when I took over
maintenance).

I'm currently on an extended business trip and, unfortunately, my internet
has been down back at my house for the last 20 hours (or the power is out,
I'm not sure which, since I'm about 3000 miles away -- I really should set
up notifications when the power is out and my UPS is gearing to shut down
my computer so I know whenever it's power or internet issues). Once my
system is back up, I'll play around with things to see what is able to be
supported. If it's not up by tomorrow, something else might be wrong and I
may be SoL for a few months until I get back and can troubleshoot in person.

As an aside, in the future, you should always email the maintainer, whether
singularly or CC'd in a message to this distro. While I am subscribed to
this distro, and thus saw this message, not all maintainers are. They may
never see your suggestion and it's not common for people on this distro to
modify SlackBuilds they don't maintain unless it's due to security issues
or breakage.

Thanks for the suggestion! Hopefully my system comes back up and I can push
an update before this weekend's public update of SBo.

Jeremy
