# NOTES:
# This on_click function would work well, without any export and RE-exec, if this function was called from the
# main process. But here it is called from YAD, which is a child process. So this on_click function becomes part of
# this child process. At least, that's the way i understand this. And so, in this child process, the $PIPE variable
# is lost if not exported, and the exec 3<> must be re-done from within this child process, etc. This is getting
# too complicated and i just don't like it!
#
# I want to find some other way... (Fri, 02 Apr 2021 13:36:59 -0400)
