MU · Posted: Fri 05 Jan 2007, 12:39 Post_subject: Bugfix: Puppybackground

1.) fixes colorselection
2.) "fit" now scales pictures correctly

Concerning 1.)
it seems, the colordialog from xdialog-Gtk2 returns "0" instead of "00".
The Puppybackgroundsetterwrapper now takes care of this.

Concerning 2.)
This was my error, wrong variable.

Bugfix (2 files only):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools/Puppybackgroundmenu/Puppybackground-bugfix-only.pup (15 kb)

-------------------------
I also updated the full
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools/Puppybackgroundmenu/Puppybackground.pup
including sourcecode.
ATTENTION, it overwrites roxrestart.sh.
You usually do NOT need to install this dotpup!

Thanks Mark - Artie mentioned having problems with this - went back to 2.12 - so he will be well pleased . . .

MU,

I don't know if it has been reported but I found another issue:

When I click on the button to set a solid colour, the colour selection window is just open while I'm pressing the button. as soon as I release the windows closes.

Rarsa, I can't reproduce this.
What version (Puppy) do you have?
Does it happen too by re-installing the "full" dotpup?

Please backup your
/usr/local/Puppybackground/resource/roxrestart.sh first, as it might be different.

There also is a version using Gtk1, maybe it behaves different:

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools/Puppybackgroundmenu/Puppybackground-Gtk1.pup
It does not include the bugfix yet, so you must re-install that after it:

I Just texted the background color setter. It works now with the fix.

Does Xdialog also crash running it directly from console?

Xdialog --colorsel "choose a solid background color." 0 0 2>/tmp/wxbxdmenu.tmp

No, running that Xdialog command directly from the console runs OK

Colorselection was reported too, here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=14724

Can someone attach a zipped
/usr/local/bin/xdialog from Puppy 2.13 please?

yes, thanks.

Hm.. the window appears correctly.
But when I click somewhere outside the window, it crashes.
Wait, test Muppys Xdialog again... oh... same behaviour.

Ok, now I can reproduce erratic behaviour, though it is different what you and Rarsa experienced.

I will try to find a solution, may take some hours.

I'll keep you informed.

ok, please try this:

open in the texteditor:

/usr/local/Puppybackground/resource/buttons1.rc

Replace line 15:

This bug seems to have mysteriously fixed itself now. I have no idea what changed, the only real thing that has changed with my system is that I uninstalled a couple of apps (one of them was OpenOffice and the other was John Murga's small Java development package).

Don't you just love these random errors.
