Does not detect sda1, sda6 or sdb1 even if mounted (both scsi2 drives) although it does find swap at sda5
sda1 & sda6 are both ext3, sdb1 is vfat
Pmount is the same, it only finds the scsi3 drives (sdc and sdd) and swap at sda5.
(sdc1 is ext3, sdd2 is ntfs, sdd2 is vfat.)
Used 'mount all' button and sdb (vfat) was mounted, but not sda (ext3), but sdb does not show in the pdrive list, only in MUT.

MUT finds everything ok.

Also if resizing window it seems jerky.
And a minor point, on File menu, Refresh has an extra 's'. Using ver. 0.9

If I understand you right, Pdrive doesn't act different than Pmount. If so, my gui-work is correct. My skills with drives are limited, and my hardware are few. I sure want to fix the code, but for now others have to do the investigation.

Best wishes

Hi Zigbert,
Drive Label;
the Line "swap - sda5" seems to be right I'm not sure about the rest

If that can be included it would be great :D

Any restriction on the label length? my longest label is 11 charactors

thanks
DC

Not that I know. My run shows much more than 11 chars.

Please try 0.9 and give your opinion. If you have better ideas, I want to hear from you.

Hi,
Justed loaded 0.10 on to puppy 3.00 and
where ever I click (left or right) in the main body the window closes.

Went back and tried 0.9(I think) on puppy 2.17 and that works fine.

On to the layout
I've noticed that the infomation in the mount point col is repeated in the last col. If you could merge these some how then you could save some real estate.

Is it possible to adjust the popup window to be wider rather than square.

It's a shame I haven't upgraded to Puppy 3.00 yet. I'm on my way....0.10 works nice on 2.17.

The last coloumn is the message pmount sends when choosing a device. This is from the original pmount, and I feel we're not yet ready to make unique Pdrive commands. I want to stay close to the original as long as possible/necessary
Is it possible to adjust the popup window to be wider rather than square.
My point was to hide the last coloumn, because this holds info that is either meant for the mount-function or is rather geeky.

The size (height) will fit the number of devices.

The auto mount of usb drives is perfect and I see nothing wrong with auto mounting usbdrives thanks...(In fact it's great...and also optional)

What does the filesystem check do? I think it may have screwed up some file names in my flash drive... ei compiz_fusionwhatever.sfs is now compi~f.sfs or what_ever.doc is now wha~e.doc . Don't worry thoough I didn't loose any thing...

Better indication of "mountedness".... perhaps a column with red bars for unmounted and green for mounted or X's and check marks just as long as it is easy to tell X's and check marks would be better for the color blind....

Another idea make two usb drive icons at the top on with the cap off and one with the cap on for mount all unmount all of course it should say mount and unmount on the buttons icons are reinforcers not identifiers but try telling that to M$ about Word 2007 ...not gonna happen...

Nice to see partview is used....

Is there a reason that pdrive does not install to usr/bin? It in stalled to it own directory for me and I had to hunt it down to use it instead of just running it from the command line all it needs is a script that starts it from /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin

Thanks for feedback.

Some of it are doable, and will be looked at.

if more info is added to the output then there should be an option to turn on or off some of the columns so it will still be usable at a low resolution.

perhaps in the "view" menu...

- Jepp, you're right. It must be lesser than 640 pixels wide.
- /usr/local/bin/pdrive is good
- More coloums is OK if it makes the gui cleaner.
- I see no reason why '/dev/...' should be viewed. As I see it, this is not important info.
- There should be icons to show which devices are mounted, but I could not get it done without rerender the GUI.... So I had to choose.
- If fschk messed up cb88's pendrive, we better not check FAT partitions.
- I really want to auto-detect / -mount CD/DVD, but still I haven't found the simple way to this. Please help.

Nice

Ideas / suggestions :)
  • add 'hover' info buttons
    eg Mount/unmount = keeps your device secure by locking and unlocking = mounting

    if possible put device icons on the left of devices including eject and play and file manager

    put a penguin on top of the unmount button (instant MUT appeal)

    add a status column with red and green circle icons for whether mounted or unmounted


hope that is helpful
