I meant like a dynamic icon that is there if a usb stick is in or goes away if you take it out...

If you use charset UTF-8 when translating, it all should be ok. This can be set in both geany and leafpad. Remember that rxvt doesn't accept utf-8. esmourgit had the same problem with Pbackup.

It should be added in /root/.xinitrc when activating deamon. It should start when boot reach xwin.

Can you find out when it opens, and when it doesn't?

Regarding icons: One icon are double size of the whole program including the automounter. To include such a bloat, this icon(s) should be VERY nice and VERY useful

But, that is my opinion.
Please make icons, have fun, spread the news, make others happy.

proceduarally gerarate the icon.....

but actually that apdir i made had an icon.... it is an 11kb tar.gz and the normal one is 10kb .pet which is a .tar with no compressing... so guess you are right.... although you could just link to an icon that is already in puppy.... or procedurally gernerate a new one based on one that is already in puppy.....

Posted: **Wed 31 Oct 2007, 20:56**

Infact, that's what I meant, eventually link to an icon already present in puppy, in order not to increase the size of the package...I'm thinking about the newbies and the ex windowzers, they plug in an usb and....nothing happens? but it also is useful for regular users, why not have some little nice apps like this one to make things easier?
Concerning the auto opening of rox, it's strange, but it pratically never opens, although the box in the preferences is ticked...

Hi Zigbert,
Great everythings working fine

- Supports now up to 15 partitions on one disk. (thanks to JB4x4)

I read somewhere of the last few weeks while we were playing and remember something like
SATA drives can only have 15 partitions
IDE drives can have up to 63 partitions
my IDE has hda16 but that does include the 3 numbers you loose with a extended partition. So maybe not? I'll try and find the reference at the week-end. Unless anybody out there knows the answer?

Just realised you were talking about number of drives displayed

I think there is a bug in func_probe for pdrive 0.19 at about line 349

Code: Select all

PART1DISKN="";PART2DISKN="";PART3DISKN="";PART4DISKN=""
  PART5DISKN="";PART6DISKN="";PART7DISKN="";PART8DISKN=""
  PART9DISKN="";PART10DISKN="";PART11DISKN="";PART12DISKN=""

this needs to empty PART13DISKN and PART14DISKN as well.
Before I fixed it this was causing my USB devices to show twice.

Thanks!
Fixed!

Version 0.20. See main post.

Posted: **Mon 19 Nov 2007, 23:08**

Hi zigbert!

I think there is a little bug. In my example (picture) partition hda1 is shown as swap and mounted, but in fact it is vfat and unmounted.

But apart from that I'd really like the features of pdrive.

great work, thanks

Thanks for feedback!

I think the problem is that your swap has partition nr above 10. That makes 'grep hda1' also find hda10. I have put in a -w: 'grep -w hda1'. This should prevent it to detect hda10 as swap.

Lines 279-282 in /usr/local/pdrive/func_probe

Code: Select all

if [ "`echo "$PARTSWAP" | grep -w "$PARTITION"`" ]; then #swap exist
	if [ "`echo "$PARTSWAP" | grep "$DEVDISKN"`" ]; then
		SWAP_MOUNTED="off"
		grep -w "$PARTITION" /proc/swaps && SWAP_MOUNTED="on"

You can also try to replace /usr/local/pdrive/func_probe with the attached file.

Please give report.

zigbert !

I've replaced /usr/local/pdrive/func_probe with the file you attached.
This fixed the detection problem with hda10. Every partition was shown correctly (hda1 as vfat; hda10 as swap).

Thank you.

kjoe

PS: In your prior post '...This should prevent it to detect hda10 as swap.' you meant hda1, right?

version 0.21 is uploaded. See main post.

version 0.22 is uploaded. See main post.

Posted: **Thu 06 Dec 2007, 23:51**

Gave 0.22 a shot - still wouldn't mount hda1 on my harddrive..... Strange thing is, Barry's new pmount is working fine.

Here is the message shown when trying to mount....

Error - Choose one of the partitions.

So you highlight your hda1 partition by selecting it and you push mount and you get this message?

Works for me for my hda1 ntfs partition. (with 0.22)

BTW your hda1 doesn't happen to be your /mnt/home one?
