I think it is superb

the xml files it creates are in /root/.ozmo
(that is a hidden directory - click on the eye symbol in ROX to see hidden directories)

It is small, fast and efficient. I will be interested to see how it measures up to use. The size makes it very Puppy friendly Smile

and i think, going on the osmo site, that the developer has additional features planned. the only thing i wasn't sure about was resizing the actual app, but the developer advised me, via email, that size settings were stored in /root/.osmo/config.xml.

hi john,

i wouldn't call it a dialogue as i've just sent the one email query. but if you've got any recommendations it's best if it comes from you...especially since i've got no idea what synce support is! what if i request it & he feeds straight back to me with a question?

i've found that most developers appreciate honest queries & feedback.

thanks for the info, I'll try to write up something.

maybe i could even help a bit with some code. i'm still a bit rough with c syntax, but understand it for the most part.

muggins,

Thanks for that. The author's site does not respond at all -- I get a perpetual "Loading..." in the tab. Just tried now, same thing.

Uploaded latest release, v0.1.2, and added a menu entry.

Here's the latest release of osmo.

N.B. As the developer has upgraded the gtk version required to compile this, (gtk+ >= 2.10), the program will only work on pup3.0+ versions. (I vaguely recall pup2.17 had gtk 2.10?).

Edit: See first post.

Curses, the same problem. Muggins, would you mind posting the source too?

It really is weird. Right now I'm in Perth, connected with iinet. The Osmo site won't load. It's an unusual URL, maybe that's a problem for iinet.

Hi Barry,

have attached the sources. This version definitely not to be installed in pup2xx series. I just did so, as a test to see what would happen, and now the package manager is aborting.
