Select xinerama head

[jaypikay]

Fixed the selection of the xinerama heads. New parameter is --head=, where screen starts at 0 for first display, and so on. I also added a get_intvalue function to the ArgParser. I changed the indention if a function had no unified way to indent.

Awesome, thank you. Will test/merge tonight.

Added a slight bit to it - should work with multihead setups as well (didn't really test though, too hard to set that back up again).

I wanted to make it so that if you specified any of the --set-scaled etc modes, you could specify --head and have it work too, but it doesn't look like that even works properly with Xinerama. Some refactoring needed I think.

When I have enough time to spare I will look at it, too.

@daf Waiting for this release.
I find nitrogen itself really slow for loads of images.
So having --head work with --setters would allow me to use it with combination of sxiv for example.

@Cloudef Was waiting on getting #18 up to snuff, I've just merged it. I'm not sure it's enough to qualify for a release yet, I was hoping to address one or two more issues (the main one being #16 which is pretty key).

[Cloudef]

@daf Great :) I'll just pull from the git anyways.

How does the --save work with this?

[daf]

Likely not properly handled.

Seems like so, I'll workaround it with this for now.

#!/bin/bash
# Set head wallpaper, workaround broken --save in nitrogen
# $1 = head
# $2 = wallpaper

[[ -n "$1" ]] && [[ -n "$2" ]] || { echo "usage: $(basename $0) [head] [file]"; exit 0; }
[[ -f "$2" ]] || { echo "$2 doesn't exist!"; exit 1; }
sed -i "/^\[xin_$1\]/,/^$/d" "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg" || exit 1
nitrogen --head=$1 --set-auto "$2" &> /dev/null || { nitrogen --restore; exit 1; };
echo "[xin_$1]"         >> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg"
echo "file=$2"          >> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg"
echo "mode=4"           >> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg"
echo "bgcolor=#000000"  >> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg"
echo ""                 >> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg"
echo "$2 [$1]"

@Cloudef sed has a nice «-i» option ;)
Thanks for this workaround :D

[Cloudef]

@nim65s True, I've updated the snippet with few changes.
