Works for me

Thanks Sigmund

(by the way, there is no "woof" repo per sé ... as in the building blocks of woof, you'd need to actually download woof.. but what you did I think is close enough

. The screeny is of the current spup, it's from woof December 22, I'll update next week)

Maybe this feels more logical ?

Thanks for this Zigbert!
Installed and works fine.
I'll keep a copy on HD, to add to any new puppy I install.
(yes, I like your second version better)

I'll second that, looks great, vast improvement on the old style.

We will get two versions of ppm in woof builds - ziggy (this one) and classic according to Barry
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02092

Excellent.
Recently using Spup with the new PPM, I was struck with how much better it was.

I wonder if Ziggy can integrate or become closer to quickpet, or maybe even call it if available? Perhaps with an aps button?

Did you know PET stands for Puppy Extra Treats?

I tried this in Quirky 120 NOP, the first version doesn't work at all, the second one works, but when different category's are selected it don't refresh the package list until any of the package types are either deselected or selected again, everything else works fine

Posted: **Fri 28 Jan 2011, 07:58**

I do not see a window in the example screen that shows the installed Pet packages.
I often refer to it to see what I have installed and also to remove packages that I installed without using the PPM.
So does it include a window showing installed packages?

Never Mind!

I really should have used it before bringing up my question.
After using it, I found out how and now I feel like a real nobe.

While experimenting with different keyboard layouts
( starting with assigning keys to /etc/inputrc for the different terminals ( rxvt, urxvt, sakura ))
I stumbled over the xkbconfigmanager dy Dougal which is working very well so far,
but it has no feature to create additional
Identifier "Keyboard[0-9]"
than
Identifier "Keyboard0"
( /etc/X11/xorg.conf )
or handle more than this one Keyboard0 .

I managed to add tabs see shot but i don't know how to add variables when pressing a <notebook labels=\"$LABELS\">

like
if pressed notebook label X ; then KB=X; fi
or
[ "$LABELY" ] && KB=Y

This link was posted in additional software, for slim (desktop login tool) ... it uses gtkdialog (note: script is missing puppy's "3" suffix)

Hi guys,
I just wanted to confirm: as far as we know it is not possible with gtkdialog to create a program which does something with text as you enter it into a text entry box. Is that correct?
Does anyone know of anything similar to gtkdialog (something that is used to build a gui for a shell script) that this is possible with?

disciple,

You might use this coding-

Code: Select all

<action signal="key-press-event">

so that anything keyed into a text box would be tied to an action event every time a key was pressed.

Cheers,
s

Pmusic uses this technique to search while typing

Code: Select all

 <entry activates-default=\"true\" tooltip-text=\"$LOC406\" is-focus=\"true\">
  <variable>SEARCH</variable>
  <input>cat $WORKDIR/filebrowser_dir</input>
  <width>200</width><height>30</height>
  <action signal=\"key-release-event\">$APPDIR/func -search &</action>
 </entry>

You might miss a 'refresh' command, but this is done via a <progressbar>

Yes, that's what I wanted. Thanks.

 <entry activates-default=\"true\" tooltip-text=\"$LOC406\" is-focus=\"true\">
  <variable>SEARCH</variable>
  <input>cat $WORKDIR/filebrowser_dir</input>
  <width>200</width><height>30</height>
  <action signal=\"key-release-event\">$APPDIR/func -search &</action>
 </entry>

I don't quite understand what you're saying there. I guess if it affects me I'll notice it

Another thing:

Drag'n drop
>> Gtkdialog supports drag'n drop from filebrowser (rox) to <entry> widget.
Code: Select all
export test="
<entry accept=\"directory\" width-request=\"300\">
 <default>Drag a directory from Rox</default>
</entry>"
gtkdialog3 -p test

Again I don't think this is possible, but maybe I'm wrong: can we make it perform an action when something is dragged into the <entry> widget? (This is not essential for the program I want to make, but it would be nice

)

Does anyone know where to get a complete list of gtk-stock button image names for use in gtkdialog3? I once had a list but can't remember where I found it.

EDIT: Okay, the following list gave me what I wanted:

One of the gtkdialog example scripts also shows all of them.

I posted a gtkdialog example that shows them with the name in a tooltip ... several pages back.

Here's some tips for learning more about gtkdialog.

This info is based on input from many people. I'm trying to throw it all together. Please share your knowledge.

Patriot has released his Patriot-edition of the latest gtkdialog. - See chapter 'Gtkdialog - Patriot edition'.

There is a silly little bug in the current version. I saw some indication that others may be working on an improved version so I figured I would tell anyone in that situation about it so that the correction can be in the next version.

gtkdialog won't take its input from stdin. The copy of main.c here shows where the error is. Search for "Moose:" to see the change.

Sigmund, some of your tutorial example download links seem to be dead. Some, because puppyasia repository is now gone, but your Stardust resources page also has dead download links. For example, the following example code downloads, amongst others listed there, are not available:

gtkdialog_widget_browser.tar.gz
gtkdialog_widget_tailbox.tar.gz
