Hi wiak, cast2chrome works with gtkwialog 0.8.4, but seems not with 0.8.5 (see pic).

I'm testing with sh > dash now on Xenialdog, did set up testing repo with upgradable packages (with bashisms problem fixed).
Everything seems fine, except cast2chrome. Are you planning to make a new version ?
If not, I can find some construction with the gtkwialog v0.8.4 installed as well.

With no bugs identified this far, I intend to also make dotpets for gtkwialog within the next couple of days (it will be needed, even in Puppy, which always uses bash as its system shell, if you use cast2chrome or the new makegit program I am creating).

Thanks wiak !

Just to be sure I ask, the new cast2chrome works also OK with the gtkwialog "B" package ?

I made the setup possible for Xenialdog with system-shell using dash, see here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=999553#999553
The new "gtkdialog" package is version 0.8.5-wiak-B, has symlinks gtkdialog4, gtkdialog3 and gtkdialog to gtkwialog.
I think you said earlier that such a construction is OK with you, anyway, just tell me if you'd like it different.

I've decided not to touch Stretch(Dog), mainly because it has some side projects going on, so things may become confusing.
Next will be BionicDog to work on further (probably I'll do new ISO release with the change to dash)

Following a forum member request, 32bits and 64bits dotpets suitable for many Pups now released. Find in first post of this thread.

Have also now released dotpet for my wiagit (GUI for git etc) program, which depends on gtkwialog functionality), here:

cast2chrome dotpet coming soon.

gtkwialog upgraded to version 0.8.6.

Forum member step informed me that FatDog findnrun utility had a problem with previous gtkwialog since unitialised variables were resulting in gibberish in <input> entry box result and also overwriting entry <default> value. Also, it is a side-effect of the <input> method used in legacy gtkdialog that default value does not get overwritten when followed by an <input> where the input is an empty string - I wasn't convinced of the correctness of that exception so hadn't implemented it in gtkwialog (didn't even notice it...). However, since that caused a problem, I have now initialised the input as an empty string but made an exception such that input entry is ignored if string empty. Thanks for bringing that issue to my attention step.

Find downloads in first post of this thread. Currently only 64bit and 32bit deb packages. Later I'll upload similar dotpets.

Since DebianDog distributions currently (for ease of setup) prefer -B mode (forced bash on action and input commands without needing GTKWMODE=B in environment), the uploads are compiled for that mode (using github branch bash_default sources). The Github sources do however currently also provide a branch (sh_default) for forced legacy gtkdialog mode (/bin/sh) which will also be updated with the changes for whoever prefers that version.

deb packages and dotpets (32bit and 64bit) for latest 0.8.6 version of gtkwialog now uploaded to first post of this thread.

Refer to post immediately above and first post of thread for relatively minor change (alteration to default handling of empty input strings to match legacy gtkdialog "ignore them" behaviour). Only reported issue with previous gtkwialog version occurred with FatDog findnrun script, but good to fix that for legacy gtkdialog compatibility. More testing and such reports always useful and welcome.

Github repo also now updated with all source changes. I re-organised the Github repo to match the bash_default chosen by DebianDog distributions but hope to reorganise it better some other day (maybe next winter - spring is coming here).

Thanks wiak and step,
Added new package version gtkdialog 0.8.6-wiak-B (symlinked gtkdialog to gtkwialog) to Xenial and Bionic dog repos now.

gtkwialog version 0.8.7 uploaded to first post of this thread.

Changes

New attribute for <pixmap> implemented:

preserve-aspect-ratio [true|yes|1 or false|no|0]

If attribute not specified, default is: preserve-aspect-ratio="true" (to remain compatible with legacy gtkdialog).

Dear wiak,

Great work - the pixmap scales very nicely. It is a useful feature. I haven't looked at your code but I assume you are using gdk_pixbuf_loader. It is showing SVGs properly, too.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Just to confirm that version 0.8.6 compiles and works on Fatdog721 with GTKWMODE=S findnrun. Thank you wiak for your support and hard work.

Just saw this so had to ask,

What happens if bash is not the system default? I know at last one that the default is locked to dash (on purpose and not changeable) for the features it includes.
