Hi ttuuxxx,

as you are working in the next release, I´ll ask your for three requests:

Add latest gtkdialog thunor version, many features on latest puppy applications need it.
Include my latest pnethood 0.6.8.1 release (has a minor bug fix to handle passwords blank entry and GUI autosize, also new features for latest gtkdialog version)
Add the puppyinstaller update to fix usb installation (also includes GRUB updated instructions) that I posted in this thread some days before.

Thank you,

Edit:
First, read ttuuxxx’s post, two down from this one.

Here’s what happened:
First installation message freaked me out (attached).

So I installed glib-2.22.2-p4.pet.
Second installation message looked much better (attached).

Unfortunately, in 2.14x, glib-2.22.2-p4.pet breaks the photo viewer.

I tried again without the glib, and everything appears OK, including Barry’s SoftMaker Office 2008 .pet.

That strange installation message is apparently harmless.

Hi ttuuxxx,

You are right if we use the latest gtkdialog release using "gtkdialog" name, some compatibility issues could be araise in a number of indetermined scripts. The gtkdialog4 convention is used just for test purpose I think...

Hmmm, We could use one of the first gtkdialog versions released by thunor, the r14 that I posted here has the scroll feature needed by latest pnethood and does not have compatibility problems reported. I think we could use this minor r14 update and rename it as gtkdialog (I don´t use the gtkdialog4 name yet but other developers could, this is something to consider if we want to update any application that need latest "thunor" gtkdialog).

I have installed r14 in my 214X installation, didn´t find any problem yet with it. Then replacing gtkdialog with r14 shouldn´t be a problem or has a really small impact, gtkdialog4 name could be used for the latest thunor version opening the way to add newer applications ready to use that convention name.

Regards,
clarf

here's another screensaver called maze and also I renamed the first package as fireworks so it won't get confused with maze, both are below now Smile

The reason why I made the Maze packages is that I read somewhere that fireworks worked slow on some other pc's, I think it was on lupup that used one of my previous screensaver packages, I've never experienced the fireworks running slow on my pc's but they aren't slow pc's. does anybody have a problem with the fireworks screensaver? I did want to add one of the two in the next release

I installed the Maze screensaver on my old P3 test box.........works fine. Smile

EDIT:
Uninstalling Maze and installing Fireworks to test.

On the old P3 the Fireworks screensaver looks like it's in slow motion. Laughing

Think I'll revert back to the Maze. Smile
