Now I know the answer. Barry put a solution to this in his modifications to Sunburnts's filemnt. The answer is ......
Code:
rox -D path-to-directory

Thank you, downloaded and instaled.
I have now 3 additions in the file menu, gmount, make virtual drive and vdisktool.

Can they all three be used independently?

I still try to figure out how it works.

But I got a problem already.

When vdisktools has been overlayed by another program, it's window isn't refreshed an the window can't even be closed. Kill is the only solution. See pic:

Beem first use make a virtual disk to create one.
you may create it any where you like but once created it must go into the
/mnt/home folder it is called /mnt/home/new_save.2fs for vdisk 1 and
/mnt/home/new_save1.2fs for vdisk2 both must reside in mnt/home now all the
buttons should work fine for you.

Now you can click the check mark icon before you mount your "vdisk" and it
will be check for errors and repaired to accomplish this the Force option is
used so it is VERY importent they are not mounted when this is done!
Click the green disk icon to mount your vdrive mount point is /mnt/vdisk1 or
/mnt/vdisk2 you can now click the folder icon and a rox window will open
(you must close this before the disk will unmount) if the file is new you
should just see /lost+found dir. The green sfs button squashes your
new_save.2fs to new_save.sfs. Hammer makes new vdisk.

An example of using it with gmount

use gmount to mount your fav sfs copy copy all the files to your vdisk umount
your sfs click the magnifying glass to see how much room you got left take
your fav pet package convert pet2tgz nameof.pet then just untar them to
/mnt/vdisk1 when it all looks right to you just hit the SFS button rename
your new_save.sfs file to *_2xx.sfs Shazam! your new custom sfs file loads
at boot

remember you can only use 4 loops outta the box I read where wdef posted you
can make more nodes but I personally do not know about it.
Code:
mknod /dev/loop7 b: 7 7


I'm working on several "goodies" like error checking, the encryption button
and automagically finding files on mounted partitions but i'm still having
trouble with find Laughing
find ./ -name '*.?fs' -fprint /tmp/foundfslist.$$
works any know how to make xdialog use it in the menubox?

I am still puzzled after your last explanation, willhunt, but I start to understand a little better.
I still don't understand if the newly created programs Make Virtual disk, Gmount and Vdisktool can or should be executed separately or if gmount and Make Virtual Disk are kinda sub-programs called Vdisktool.

So I did a more in depth test and following ias my comment.
Quote:
When executng Make Virtual Drive
/usr/local/vdisktool/mkpupsave: line 340: syntax error: unexpected end of file


Wen executing gmount
Selection of a 2fs can be made, not sfs
Push ok when selected one
But where is the 2fs mounted?

When executing vdisktool
The hammer does nothing
the green disk makes a /mnt/vdX directory
the red disk deletes the /mnt/vdX directory.
The sfs button creates a new_save.sfs or new_save1.sfs
The check icon gives
Code:
e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /mnt/home/new_save.2fs
/mnt/home/new_save.2fs:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
altho new_save.sfs or new_save1.sfs exists
The folder icon opens ROX at vd1/vd2, but what is the use?

As for the freezing of vdisktool I mentioned I know now how it did happen. I had opened help and the child windows ended up beneath all other windows. I didn't realize and tried to work with the main windows again, but it didn't respond due to the open child window.

beem I uploaded the new version and I think I have solved the problems you where having I hope Very Happy thinking now gonna do it with wbxscript
Code:

#!/usr/bin/wxbasicscript
include "/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions.inc"

//##################################
//# display my mountable files as a menue
//#
//##################################

shell( "find / -name '*.?fs' -fprint /tmp/foundfslist.txt" )
//## need to refine statement to only get 2fs,3fs,sfs,iso
myfiles = readfiletolist( "/tmp/foundfslist.txt" )
removefile( "/tmp/foundfslist.txt" )

dialog = " --title 'MENU BOX' --menu 'these are your mountable files: ' 0 0 10"

counter = 1
for i = 0 to count( myfiles ) -1

  if left( myfiles[i] , 1 ) = "/" then
     dialog &= "  '" & myfiles[i] & "' '" &  counter & "'"
     counter += 1
  end if
next

// display the menue
result , choice = xdialog ( dialog )
print choice

This may take a day or two the last time I used basic it was 8k
rom basic Laughing at least with geany I still have line numbers Shocked
this code was a demo snippet from MU's orginal post

Perhaps the script should check if there are vdisks & if they're mounted.
If a vdisk's not mounted, only then would a [Check & Repair] button be enabled.
Same for any other controls, disable them if they shouldn't be used.

Xdialog won't take input to variables within the control.
If you want a ListBox filled from your find command try GTKdialog.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ash
export vdisk_GUI='
<wtitle>vDisk Tool</wtitle>
<frame   List of vDisks  >
<hbox>
<list>
  <variable>VDISKS</variable>
  <input>cat /tmp/Vdisks.txt</input>
</list>
<vbox>
<button>
  <label>Mount Vdisk</label>
  <variable>mntVDISK</variable>
  <action>./vDisk Mnt $VDISKS</action>
</button>
<button>
  <label>Check Vdisk</label>
  <variable>chkVDISK</variable>
  <visible>cat /tmp/visVdisk.txt</visible>
  <action>./vDisk Chk $VDISKS</action>
</button>
</vbox>
</hbox>
</frame>
'
gtkdialog3 --program=vdisk_GUI

Put the output from the find command in to the file: /tmp/vDisks.txt
Code:
find ./ -name '*.?fs' -fprint /tmp/foundfslist.$$ > /tmp/vDisks.txt

The buttons call a script file & it's functions in the current dir. called: ./vDisk
and pass the ListBox's vdisk selection to the function being called.
Note the <visible> tag in the [Check Vdisk] button's code.
If you want more info just ask... It's pretty simple.

I've written a library to simplify the creation of GTKdialog code.
A Visual Integrated Development Environment (VIDE) could be made for it.

is that like gimp only for gtkdialog? Sign me up!

I was thinking about error checking and came up with this one to replace
/usr/local/vdisktool/turn what do you think be Brutal Wink
I used the code from mkimgfile to create the disks Very Happy

The find line I came up with sorta works I just don't want to have to do it five
times as I know very little about programing or scripting that just seems
Wrong Exclamation but when I use the line *.?fs I get all kinda results from my
windows part when mounted the object of gmount is to find all mountable
files on all mounted partitions and allow the new user to mount them and
inform them if its read only

Yes I would like very much to learn more about xdialog gtkdialog and the gins thing
turning the buttons on and off are cool Cool
if you google "xdialog forum" puppy comes up the most times and they don't even
give puppy a link whatsup with that Twisted Evil
Code:

#!/bin/sh
status="$1"
spacechk=`/mnt/home`
DF=`df |grep  $spacechk|awk '{print $4}'`
if [ "$status" == "mnt1" ];then
if [ -d /mnt/vdisk1 ];then

else
echo Mounted>MP1
  exit 0;
fi
fi

if [ "$status" == "off1" ];then
if [ -d /mnt/vdisk1 ];then
echo ERROR>MP1
else
echo not mounted>MP1
  exit 0;
fi

if [ "$status" == "make1" ];then
if [ -f /mnt/home/vdisk1.2fs ];then
echo ERROR:Disk Present>MP1
exit 3 ;
else
echo Creating Disk>MP1

fi

if [ $DF -le $2  ] ;then

dd if=/dev/zero of=mnt/home/vdisk1.2fs bs=1k count=$2 &                     # make new image file
mkfsext2 -F -b 1024 /mnt/home/vdisk1.2fs $2                                 # make ext2 FS

if [ $? -gt 0 ] ;then
 echo  ERROR:mkfsext2>MP1 ;                                                 # tell user mkfs Failed
 exit 1 ;
 fi                 
fsck -Cpt $3 /mnt/home/vdisk1.2fs                                           # check FS
echo Disk Ready>MP1                                                         # tell user it's done
if [ $? -gt 0 ] ;then
echo ERROR:fsck>MP1 ;
exit 1 ;

exit 0;

else
echo Repairing Disk>MP1
e2fsck -f -p /mnt/home/vdisk1.2fs
  exit 0;

Thinking in terms of what the GUI should display:

A ListBox for HD partitions & maybe USB drives.
A button: [Make a Vdisk].
And maybe a ComboBox to select the Vdisk's Size?
And maybe a second button: [Delete Vdisk].
A third button: [Encrypt Vdisk].

A second list box for all Vdisks found on HDs & USBs.
A button: [Mount Vdisk].
A second button: [Unmount Vdisk].

And a [Cancel] button.

Could be 2 Tab Panels for a very small sized GUI.

I assume that your interested? Say so if you want a starter GUI.
Then you can just look at it & it'll be pretty obvious how to mod. it.
You'll have to mod. your script to work with the GUI. Easy to do...
The GUI buttons call the script's functions to do whatever's needed.

Here's a starter GUI, as I said you'll have to make the Vdisk file with your
Bash functions in it that do the work for the buttons.
Look at the Vdisk.gtk file to see how the functions in the Vdisk file are called.
A skeleton for the Vdisk file is shown below to get you started.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
setup() {
  # write code here to make file: "/tmp/found.vdisk" that lists all Vdisks found.
}
mnt() {
  ..........
}
unmnt() {
  ..........
}
check() {
  ..........
}
del() {
  ..........
}
enc() {
  FILE=`Xdialog --title " Pick Path & type in File Name" --fselect /mnt 0 0`
  ######  Make encrypted Vdisk: $FILE here.
}
#########  More buttons & the Size ComboBox code here.

if [ -z "$1" ];then
 ./Vdisk.gtk
else
 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5
fi

There's a little bit to this method of making GUIs, but it's not hard to do.
I've left the Bash code file above: "Vdisk" incomplete for you to learn by doing.
Just copy the Bash code you already have into the proper functions.
It's not as pretty as the other GUI pix posted. Ask any Qs you have... Terry

sunburnt been workn on what you gave me this is what I've come up with so far for vdisk there is still a long way to go but am stuck
bash is not a acronym but a verb! Laughing
Code:

#!/bin/sh
