Moved from Here because of difference with sc0ttman's project: EDIT 2018-09-03: Updated download links to v3.2.12-6, see info: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1003661#1003661 EDIT 2018-09-30: Updated download links to v3.2.12-7, see info: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1006134#1006134 EDIT 2018-12-10: New pet packages, see here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1012643#1012643 Hi, here are Pet packages for xlunch (including some custom scripts and example .desktop launchers) See about xlunch: Xlunch on Github and Xlunch website As is xlunch "A work in progress" these pet packages are also. Anyone feel free to modify, see this just as a concept. Thanks sc0ttman for the genentries mod, it's included in the pets (in /usr/bin). (other scripts are in /usr/local/bin) Initial launch of xlunch (example Xlunch3 from Menu > System) may show something like: 
Well... disappointing, many icons won't show... (instead 'ghost' icon) But wait...  there's a fix:
Run "Regenerate entries for xlunch (convert .svg to .png)" from Menu > System to convert .svg to .png (requires "librsvg2-bin" installed) Takes some time, but after that the icons should show , example Xlunch3 showing icons: 
From Xlunch Help (Menu > System > Xlunch Help) EDIT: Updated for v4.1.1-1:
Demo Gif Image (Xlunch3) (has options --dontquit (xlunch still shows after running application) and --windowed): 
(scrolling through applications, search for 'edit' 'peasy' and run custom 'vlc' button) EDIT 2018-09-03: Updated to v3.2.12-6 EDIT 2018-09-30: Updated to v3.2.12-7 EDIT 2018-12-10: Updated to v4.1.1-1 32-bit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ozl17bs9d9l5aoc/xlunch_4.1.1-1_i386.pet?dl=1 64-bit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/z90ewvvc247cw6x/xlunch_4.1.1-1_amd64.pet?dl=1 It has special construction, the xlunch binary is not in PATH (it's /usr/local/xlunch/xlunch) There's script: /usr/local/bin/xlunch that calls xlunch. This is to workaround the problem of possibly not finding the default entries file: /etc/xlunch/entries.dsv See also issue here: https://github.com/Tomas-M/xlunch/issues/91#issue-348889265 EDIT: Not anymore in version 4.1.1-1 P.S. I also modified 'gentriesquick' (run from Menu > System > Quick generate entries for xlunch), it has "plan B" in case an icon is not found, then it uses genentries with the -f option (to generate entry from single .desktop file). Still it's fast, but a little slower than the original gentriesquick from Tomas M. I didn't add 'xlunchr' to the package, it seems to me that using 'categories' (left vertical buttons) is not ready yet. (but correct me if I'm wrong) EDIT: Not anymore included in version 4.1.1-1 , the xlunch-menu-update or xlunch-menu-gen script does that now. EDIT: Forgot to mention that the pet has pinstall.sh. During install it will create /etc/xlunch/entries.dsv based on content of /usr/share/applications Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak Last edited by fredx181 on Mon 10 Dec 2018, 07:16; edited 6 times in total |

Updated pet packages to v3.2.12-6, following sc0ttman's great improvement by adding option --maxtextlength http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1003559#1003559 32-bit pet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9onjzwtihqznkpw/xlunch_3.2.12-6_i386.pet?dl=1 64-bit-pet: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9je8r6ogb2u51yu/xlunch_3.2.12-6_amd64.pet?dl=1 Download links at first post also updated to 3.2.12-6 Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak |

Updated pet packages to v3.2.12-7 32-bit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8jbizoo42tsxd08/xlunch_3.2.12-7_i386.pet?dl=1 64-bit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xlt9hgmq9drxvv1/xlunch_3.2.12-7_amd64.pet?dl=1 Improvement by the Xlunch developers: Added option --iconvpadding, that makes things more flexible, e.g. if you use:
Result is that the icons are rather wide spread horizontally (so a large amount of text will display) (--iconpadding 40) and the icons are vertically rather close to each other (--iconvpadding 5) The --maxtextlenght (as it was in previous pet packages) is not an option anymore.

*** New Xlunch .pet packages *** Included in the .pet are: latest xlunch version 4.1.1 and Xlunch-menu The xlunch-menu program generates entries for xlunch very fast. Requirements: libimlib2 (or imlib2 e.g. for Slacko), libmenu-cache3 (or menu-cache e.g. for Slacko) (the latter is dependency for xlunch-menu) and librsvg2 (should have rsvg-convert included) for converting SVG to PNG. Install these from PPM first before installing the .pet. See Menu > System > Xlunch Help for more info. (specially about 'persistent' option (xlunch-menu running in the background, script: xlunch-menu-gen )) Optional: devilspie2 (for e.g. undecorated display, see inside scripts /usr/local/bin/xluncher1 and /usr/local/bin/xlunch-logout) 32-bit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ozl17bs9d9l5aoc/xlunch_4.1.1-1_i386.pet?dl=1 64-bit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/z90ewvvc247cw6x/xlunch_4.1.1-1_amd64.pet?dl=1 EDIT: Download links at first post also updated to version 4.1.1-1 Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak |
