Applet to edit Claws Mail’s hidden preferences

Clawsker is an applet to edit Claws Mail’s hidden preferences.

Claws Mail has a high number of configurable options and, in order to keep the binary small and fast, some of these preferences which are not widely used are not provided with a graphical interface for inspection and/or modification.

Users wanting to edit such preferences had to face editing the configuration text files directly, now it is possible with a convenient GTK2 interface using Clawsker.

Other features

* Handling of all hidden preferences
* Fully internationalized interface using gettext
* Detection of running Claws Mail
* Support for alternate configuration directories
