pStopWatch 0.6
A few suggestions
Dear Sigmund,
I looked at 0.5 and have the following comments:
1. Your last rev does not preserve the user's GTK style - my last rev does that (see screenshot). You need to include $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 include, otherwise the app will look foreign on any system where the GTK theme is not identical to yours.
2. My last rev also included a change of geometry when tenths are disposed of. The window should shrink accordingly (i,e, automatically). Also, you should echo - in the case of the -s parameter - only the minutes and seconds to the logfile. This can be done by introducing a check of the value of the $TENTH variable in an "if" construction so as not to disrupt the smaller window x dimension by string overflow.
3. Apart from that, it works fine, but I am still testing and trying out a few tweaks.
With kind regards,
vovchik

GTK theme
Dear Sigmund,
Here is my .gtkrc-2.0 file:
The first include in $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 gives the location of the theme in use for a particular user, and that should be the case for all standard gtk2 installations. The second include points to .gtkrc.mine, which is usually empty (in my case, at least). The gtk theme setup in puppy 3.01 is non-standard in some way, unfortunately, and really tries to force stardust on the user (using the settings in /etc), which is not a particularly good approach (it was different in the 2.x series). I struggled for a bit until I found out what was going on and found a means by which I could circumvent this 3.x automatism. I imagine others, such as trapster, have done the same.
With kind regards,
vovchik
Here is my .gtkrc-2.0 file:
Code: Select all
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/MacOS-X/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font" {
font_name = "DejaVu Sans 12"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 12"
include "/root/.gtkrc.mine"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT

Glad to hear Barry is adding it to Dingo
Would it be possible to add a tally counter?
(laps, repetitions etc)

Added to the todo-list. I'm not sure how it should be solved, but let's see...
Here is a command line bash script for laps and split times.

version 0.6 missing?
Dear Sigmund,
I looked for version 0.6 in the first post and saw only version 0.5. Am I blind?
With kind regards,

Laps and split times would be nice
A pause button would be good too. And an option to start straight away, without the count down. But I think you have more important projects at the moment...

Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

If you don't want the countdown coment out the following lines from /usr/local/pstopwatch/pstopwatch_counter.
Code: Select all
#countdown to sync stopwatch to a whole second
#SEC_START=`date +%s`
#COUNTDOWN=3
#COUNT=1
#while [ $COUNT -lt 5 ]; do
# SEC_NOW=`date +%s`
# SECONDS=`expr $SEC_NOW - $SEC_START`
# if [ $SECONDS = $COUNT ] && [ $SECONDS -gt 0 ]; then
# echo "00:0$COUNTDOWN:00" >> /tmp/pstopwatch-clock
# if [ $COUNT -lt 4 ]; then
# aplay /usr/share/audio/bark.au > /dev/null 2>&1
# fi
# COUNTDOWN=`expr $COUNTDOWN - 1`
# COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`
# fi
#done

@Zigbert: Are you ever going to fix the serious bugs in pStopWatch / pTimer?
These 2 bugs render the program useless:
1. Constant 100% CPU munch while pTimer is running
2. If you drag the pStopWatch window and keep the mouse button held, the timer freezes. Hold it like that for 20 seconds,release the mouse button and see what happens.

If you leave pStopWatch / pTimer running for any great length of time, the system will freeze.........not what we want. But I am very surprised that no one has noticed this up to now....or I could be wrong, That happens a lot...
