Quirky bugs
Posted: Sat 30 Jan 2016, 20:15
Hallo friends 30.1.16
Different Puppies are used for 10 years. Mostly they are excellent. Windows is no longer used. I try to avoid Windows access to my hardware.
So I have computers totally without MS.
Now I try it with Quirky, which is really fast. I am lucky, Quirky comes with seamonkey instead of sylpheed, which usually does not work in other Puppies (often: relaying denied)
But even Quirky has bugs, which are not yet realized by English speaking developers.
1. When I set up a Puppy for my region, for my keyboard I write "German- Switzerland" But, what happens? Since years II get the "German" which is "de". I think not everybody understands that there are many differences between German and Swiss-German keyboards. In all Puppies in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I had to change "de" to "ch,ch". That works. The Gernan-Switzerland keyboard is somewere lodged in the Puppies.. I think for a developer, who understands the inside of Puppy it must be trifle to introduce "ch,ch", when German- Switzerland was chosen. Lets do it!
2. In Lucid image titles of my Pictures were understood, even, when I used umlauts as ä,ö,ü.
In newer releases it was forgotten (except in Slacko6.3).
In Quirky those Pictures can not be opened at all, as seen in the attachment. Can I change it myself? Let me please know how.
kind regards
