Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[zigbert]

It can be many reason for Mick, Barry or any other maintainer/developer to not include your improved Puppy code.

Even if your thoughtful codelines doesn't make into the official Puppy, it may be useful somewhere in space. Too many of our suggested codelines is not anymore traceable in this forum wilderness.

I will collect my suggestions here.
Please share.

Pmount 6.Feb. 2013
This is a rather major update of Pmount, but the detection/mounting engine is NOT touched.

Based on Pmount (Wary 5.2.91), Partview (Wary 5.2.91), Pdrive and the idea of Startmount.
Updated to reflect changes in pmount 28.Jan 2013
- Partview embedded into gui
- Partition labels
- Set mount at boot
- CD-audio detection
- Swap management
- Scalable gui
- (Un)mount without rerender gui
- Remember window geometry




Or keep it more conservative. Color-scheme is set in $HOME/pmountrc

Hello zigbert.

Thank you very much for your contributions.

You write:

Does this Pmount have a version number? (So as not to confuse it with other versions we may have archived.)

BFN.

Be aware that the new Pmount-gui requires gtkdialog-0.8.

This Pmount is not a pet-package as we are now in the 'Cutting edge' section - not 'Additional software'.

Looks, feels and tastes great. I do like it. Already in use. Great...thanks.

I put a 'diskprobe' button in my latest quick_launch application.
I find it interesting to see the manufacturer's names listed.

Because of restructuring the code to functions, the diff would be horrible. Much code is moved around, but blocks of the original code is equal. My thought is; if this pmount is not adopted, I will diff the latest Pmount with the one I have used (Wary-5.2.91), and update corresponding lines.

In the hope that Barry wants this code, I will not make any changes to the 'engine'.

updated 13. Feb 2013

Here is gtkdialog-splash (from Slacko 533) with geometry fixes and extended attributes.

• -bg_gradient
  
• -align
  
• -icon_width
  
• -font
  
• -border
  
• -margin

The new look is turned ON by default but the old is still available by turning OFF -border and -bg_gradient. Like this:
