Two entry boxes on one zenity command

Using zenity i can create an combo box like this

zenity --entry --title "Window title" --text "Insert your choice." a b c d e

How can i create two combo boxes in one dialog, i tried using the separator command like this

zenity --entry --title "Select Flash Drives" --text "Insert your choice." --separator="," --add-entry="IP address" --add-entry="PORT"

But it says

--separator is not supported for this dialog

Is it possible to create two combo boxes in one zenity dialog

Solution

  • No, it's not possible. Zenity is designed "to create simple dialogs" and what you are asking for is that one tiny step further from simple.

    I think you need to look for a different tool. YAD is a fork of Zenity that adds some improvements and might help you achieve what you want.
