One of the most wonderful thing about puppy is we can utilize old laptops...so for those of us who has to type acpi=force in the grub menu.lst ...cannot use the standard pwidgets battery status..so I modified one for you who wants it

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

The .pet I uploaded is buggy! I was testing cups and made some wrong settings and couldn't get rid of them so I did 4.2alpha as a "pfix=ram" boot. Ok saved everything elsewhere, no probs, installed pwidgets-fixes and the slideshow doesn't work! It is not building the images in /scaledimages. It was before, must be something trivial.

I see the difference but I'm having a problem on a fresh install. Maybe WhoDo forgot something, I'll try that.

fresh install ....hmmm....I haven't seen anything missing or strange .......

01micko · #278 Post by **01micko** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 15:57

Nope, Whodo got it right. Hmmmmmmmmm, What to do?

I hope somebody try and give comment here....sometimes we're too exhausted to see what's wrong....

01micko · #280 Post by **01micko** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 16:10

Ok, tried again, fresh, nothing else, just your pet (pretty much same as mine

), same result

Bedtime! Try tomorrow.

trio · #281 Post by **trio** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 16:16

please tell me what's the detailed problem...the scale2pics didn't work...or..anything else?

your pet got 2 pet specs,,,,when extracted ..I thought that was the problem ...

01micko · #282 Post by **01micko** » Sat 24 Jan 2009, 23:43

OK, Another fresh install, same result. Only '000_000.jpg' is in '~/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages', '~/.pwidgets/pwidgets-exec' looks fine. The file '~/.pwidgets/scripts/slide' seems not to execute. It was working fine before I had to clean install '420alpha'. Shall try to track it down...., used your pet.

01micko and ttuuxxx,

I made the weather icons.
Would you export these files to glyphes?

download(.tar.gz)
27 svg files for widget-weather

Lets think about this. The 'func' file is not meant to execute widgets as you know. I'm starting to think it strange that it worked at all! Maybe, we can execute 'slide' somewhere else, I was thinking 'fixwidgets', which may work, but 'fixwidgets' is not meant to be that complex!
Or, maybe a separate script altogether for the slideshow.

I'll try some things, we are not done yet!!!!

Cheers

Mick

PS, I'm beginning to think 'fixwidgets' is the wrong place for the clockclick too! Think about it, if one chooses not to have the analog clock then the script just guesses where to click and clicks anyway! That could lead to problems!!!

Man, the more complex Pwidgets becomes, the more problems X10 arise!

Yes they will be exported as glyphs but it should work ok with our font exditor.

Thankyou very much jebaJQ8. Very nice work!

Micko,

No Mick, the click clock won't be executed if one does not choose analog clock

please try, I put it that way......

even if it is in fixwidgets

also slide, if one doesn't choose slide....it won't appear.....I also hacked it that way, please try....

There always be other ways to do it, and in what files they're going to be put in..but the current fix is fine...as far as I tested

And it's all thanks to the power of grep command!

Clockclickis fine, just getting carried away, it is still just a basic workaround. No probs.

Did you give some thought to my comment about the exec of 'slide' in 'func'? We have a conflict there which makes it unstable, you know, the creation of the dummy file happens twice, I think on some systems it works ok, on others it crashes.

trio · #288 Post by **trio** » Sun 25 Jan 2009, 01:01

really? I think it didn't happen to my computer....let's see....

edit: are the files named 000_000.jpg? and 01.jpg? Then you had your old dummy files there...

FYI: since the scale2pics wont be executed everytime with my slide fix, then when one chooses not to use slideshow, all the remaining images will still be in the scaledimages directory....

trio · #289 Post by **trio** » Sun 25 Jan 2009, 01:27

or, if you mean that the dummy file always re-created everytime the slideshow is applied froom GUI,I think that's what it suppossed to do, cat dude made it like that remember?

01micko · #290 Post by **01micko** » Sun 25 Jan 2009, 01:55

No, not what I mean, my dummy is fine, new one everywhere, 000_000.jpg. It worked before on this system before the 'pfix=ram', and I've done that three times since. Still fine on my other system. Remember, this is 4.2alpha, everything installed fine from the pet, I used yours, same anyway, no "" around image dir in /config/slideshow, 'pwidgets-exec' generates as expected, increased that sleep I added, slower machine, always starting from gui, then from terminal with 'fixwidgets' to debug, still no good. Hmmmm, see what I mean? What works fine on one system maynot on another. I can boot back to 4.1.2 and it is ok, on this machine! Settings all the same, even the sam pictures! (no silly 'clocksize' errors!

)

We NEED feedback from others!!!!
