Just FYI, dvw86 has done some work on it,but the last language he used was murgaLua:

looks promising Raffy, I was thinking more of a simpler, easily editable version that would be ~10kb of text (Xdialog script) and require no additional libraries/programs (beside the fact that I can actually use it). Murga Lua is not default in many versions of Puppy and if I recall it was around 500kb.

if you got devx loaded, they are at /usr/share/doc/gtkdialog3
but xdialog might be an interesting way because i've seen an example where xdialog and dialog are combined in one script. if x is running it will run as xdialog if not as dialog. so a wizard would be accessible in x and in cli...
but i had to google for it, i haven't make a bookmark

hi technosaurus,
GO ON! in my opinion, this would be a great improvement.

@Lobster - LANG=C supposedly helps scripts to run faster - Barry discovered this while testing woof.
Anyhow I finished it and got all except PSIP
I may replace the Browser "seamonkey about:config" with PSIP though since so many puplets cut seamonkey ... I tried to do "defaultbrowser about:config" but the mozstart automatically prepends "file://" so that was a no go
...need to test at lower resolution, try on different puppies...
Edit - removed Pwidgets since it is easily accessible from the Pwidgets dock on the desktop... replaced with PSIP

It may be a stupid question but what are the "?" marks for ... help? May I suggest you do away with all the separate help buttons and have a single help button that points at a linked help page or index. It would simplify the whole look of the panel, IMHO. Just a thought.technosaurus wrote:Anyhow I finished it and got all except PSIP...[snip]...

They are just help dialogs that give a brief description of the program...
A separate help window would probably be good. I set it up for the impatient, yet slow reader types like myself.

You could use a menu bar to create help and other options (if they arise)
something like:
Code: Select all
<menubar>
<menu>
<menuitem>
<label>PSIP</label>
<action>leafpad setupPSIP.txt &</action>
</menuitem>

Bonjour,
I like this panel.
About "?"
The reading of the panel would be clearer if the display of information by "?" were given by moving the mouse cursor over an icon, as once in the install package PET wizard (old petget),
If it is possible to do.
Cordialement

I initially wanted to put the help as a mouse-over, but couldn't find anything in puppy that could do it... thus the "?" help... if someone knows how to get mouse-over to work I would do it that way... anyone???

David McClamrock (pa_mcclamrock) has almost finished Remaster Express (RemaX) and I've suggested to him that you might appreciate some assistance with this part of your project.technosaurus wrote:I initially wanted to put the help as a mouse-over, but couldn't find anything in puppy that could do it... thus the "?" help... if someone knows how to get mouse-over to work I would do it that way... anyone???
I also have some suggestions about content, if you have no objections. My suggestions are:
- Add Firewall Configuration
- Drop the Browser about:plugins page
- Add Chooselocale
- Add Set Timezone
- Add set clock
- Remove Gwhere (too obscure for newbies)
- Remove Gparted (not a newbie option)
- Change SAMBA to Windows LAN or similar
- Change Netsetup to NetConnect
- Plugging seems "obscure"
Cheers

I'll take a look at David's code to see what I can see for mouse overWhoDo wrote: My suggestions are:

- Remove Gparted (not a newbie option) - still think it should be there
- Change SAMBA to Windows LAN or similar - changing to WinLAN
- Change Netsetup to NetConnect - Changing to Net (has more than just connection or setup options)
- Plugging seems "obscure" - thought it was more intuitive than eventmanager - other suggestions???

How about "Hotplug"? I dunno, even that seems pretty obscure to me, but it seems a tad less so than "plugging".technosaurus wrote:I'll take a look at David's code to see what I can see for mouse overWhoDo wrote:

Whether or not you guys manage to resolve the mouseover help, I'd like to see the main screen simplified somewhat. Perhaps a single help page behind its own icon with descriptions of each PCP icon or something? IMHO something like this should be more welcoming to those who need it.
Keep up the good work, technosaurus! I know you'll worry it until it's done, just like a dog with a bone!
