My support for keeping Gparted

WhoDo you'd be amazed at how many noob posts are about partition problems!
In general, sterling effort, techno - 5*

Gparted (not a newbie option) - still think it should be there

Time to accelerate the Noob development program. Give them the power.
I would leave it in

without the help it is <1kb compressed, looks a lot better and most programs that need help already have it... here it is with a couple of substitutions (ptray and pwidgets are better set from the tray - otherwise multiple processes start and don't quit on exit... bad)

Good idea.

I figured out how to add tabs from here:

Is this type of Control Panel worth pursuing...it was just a quick fiddle in Lazarus

i think that a tabbed interface would have a better look

gposil · #28 Post by **gposil** » Mon 06 Apr 2009, 14:55

Is this more like it....

@gposil - looks great, can you upload it?... looks like a lot of non-stock icons, which is fine they pretty good, I only tried to use stock puppy icons to keep the size smaller which made it kind of difficult to get a uniform appearance

Lobster · #30 Post by **Lobster** » Mon 06 Apr 2009, 19:34

gposil
please upload code

Hope we find this in 4.2.1
and . . .
for 4.3 we will be instigating a massive drive to use GIT
Please start reading up on Git

Which interface does everyone prefer...the icons only or the tabbed? Let me know which and I'll quickly knock up the rest of the code and upload the Lazarus/Fpc source...

Bonjour,
I like very much the look of that window. Do you think you could do the same on the Pshutdown 0.1 version of Zigbert? Here is a translated version in french.

You can see there's no spell checking in my toolkit...

gposil · #38 Post by **gposil** » Wed 08 Apr 2009, 03:08

Here it is...please test it..have done no debugging or library linking yet, so size of binary will reduce somewhat.

BTW. Compiled under Puppy 4.1.2...also tested on 4.2

The binary and the source are below...

Suggestions, bugs, comments please...I'm not to sure about the popup tooltips...window seems a little busy to me....

See further down thread for latest binary.

Just tried in 4.2 final on my laptop. Got

Code: Select all

 ./pcp2: error while loading shared libraries: libglib-1.2.so.0" cannot open shared object file" No such file or directory

when I started it from the command line. After making a symlink to /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 I got a similar error message for libgdk-1.2.so.0.
Have not gone any further at this stage.

I did run it by clicking on the binary in 215CE Alpha and although it seemed to open OK and looked good it did not do anything when any of the buttons were clicked on.

Very interesting...just booted up 4.2 and tested perfectly.......

It will not work in versions prior to 4

also those symlink changes you made are already in 4.1.x and 4.2...very curious.

I'll investigate this further with other 4.x releases
