I see (not Pmenu, but Ptheme).
The menu you refer to, is purely homemade (gtkdialog doesn't support external menus by default), and I had not your issue in mind when building it. At this moment, I don't see any easy way to fix it - to show a scrollbar if the menu is taller than the screen.


hmmmm

Hi Mick

You are doing great stuff these days. Thanks alot for all your effort !!!!!

I tested the latest jwm-build in lupu, and it really improves the situation......from no transparency in menu-icons to small shades on some of them.

Ok, well as a work around I just moved some of my clock skins out of the folder for the time being. It seems on my resolution of 1024x768 I can have 30 displayed properly max.

Is there any reason I cannot type the name of the clock skin into the bar? After selecting one a file name is there but it is not possible to type it. I though perhaps if I couldn't see a skin in the menu to select it then possibly i could just enter the file name if i knew it, but alas.
I am not a Mac, not a PC... I am a Puppy. :idea:

Hi zigbert,

DuDE works fine on lupu-005 and lupu-006 none of the problems that were experienced with 003 & 004. So it was lupu, not DuDE.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi zigbert,

Bad news, the problem noted earlier with 003 has returned with Lucid puppy 007 and is still in 008. The PCC Desktop Trays button does not function. Also, the Edit tray button in the top mention does not work. The tray files can be edited manually. This problem occurred with a new 3fs save file created to test DuDE. Executing ptray in a console gives this error:

Code: Select all

# ptray
** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 355, near token 'string': syntax error
aborting...
lupu-008 has an additional problem. If the programs menu is set to be activated by a left mouse click, clicking on a desktop icon will bring up the programs menu instead of executing the desktop icon. Something to do with pointer focus.

Is Version 0.2 ready for tests, or do we need to try to sort out the problem with this version?

Thanks for providing us with this powerful tool for customizing our desktops.

Cheers,
Jim

I don't know if that is a too good idea, since Barry and others uses xdialog in their scripts. It might interfere with their intentions.

Hi Jim
Thank you for taking the effort to report these problems. My plan is to release DuDE 0.2 around the time Puppy 5 is arriving. I still focus on new features, and will wait for a stable Puppy before I start testing..... That means I have some evenings before we switch to a feature-freeze.

Let's hope the problems in Lupuhas a simple solution. Playdayz might have forgotten to include the correct gtkdialog/jwm package.

Good plan, DuDE worked perfectly in 006, then gave problems in 007 and 008, and now there is an 000 experimental out (3 releases in 2 days). I'm still going to try it though, at least I'm learning how to use it, and love it.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Sigmund

Playdayz currently has an older gtkdialog in Lupu. I have compiled the Patriot edition and I'm sure it will be in the final. He's very busy just getting the thing to work correctly for all and doing a fine job. I'll mention it again soon.

JWM is now up to revision 490 by Joe. I have not compiled this yet, but Dougal reported on Barry's blog that it is good and fixed many minor issues.

Rox is still has a problem in Lupu but that is fixed for the next version.

Hopefully DuDE can play nicely in Lupu very soon.

Cheers

Hi zigbert,

Pleasant surprise this afternoon to return and find your latest. Installed it on lupu-009, and it is working great. Your added features, Pcorner and Virtual Keyboard work fine.

Pnote gives this message although it appears to be working fine.

Code: Select all

sh: line 4: kill: (5483) - No such process
/usr/sbin/pnote: line 40:  4905 Killed                  gtkdialog3 -p Pnote -G +0+0
Ptray gives same error message as DuDE 0.1 on lupu-009 as reported before.

Code: Select all

** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 369, near token ‘string’: syntax error
Because of this I couldn't check out the updates that depend on ptray and the associated buttons.

Thanks for this update, although there are still errors with lupu, it's still a great addition.

Jim :D

To get it going in lupu, you should install Micks jwm/gtkdialog pack.

I still get an error message with lupu-111 which I understand has that fix. Other than this it works great.

Code: Select all

# ptray
(process:2482): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.
** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 225, near token 'string': syntax error
aborting...
# 
Maybe lupu-112 due out tonight will correct this problem.

Frugal installation of ttuuxxx's 4.3.2 v3 has a different error message and of course the Edit tray and Trays buttons do not work. Have lupu and 4.3.2v3 done something similar? If not the problem may be with DuDE. Other than the ptray problem, it works great.

Code: Select all

# ptray
** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 374, near token 'string': syntax error
aborting...
# 
Cheers,
Jim

I wonder if this is caused by 'something' you have installed.

Could you do a check:

1. open /usr/sbin/ptray in a text editor. Close to the bottom of the code, you'll find the line '#echo "$Ptray" > /root/gtk'. remove the hash - 'echo "$Ptray" > /root/gtk'

2. After executing ptray, open /root/gtk in a text-editor and find line 225 in lupu or line 374 in Puppy 4.3.2. What does the line(s) say.


Thank you
Sigmund

Edit: Why not attach the whole /root/gtk file
