Hello ttuuxxx,
I restarted X and ristretto works OK, with no problem.
Is it possible to get the french (and others) locale files for this little progs if they exist? Thank you.
I would like to say i have no message "locale not supported by C library". I use fr-FR locale. I just have in /etc/profile this line 73 : LANG=fr_FR
Cordialement ;)
LOL now you ask, You should of asked for that about a month ago, lol
ok I have some of the locales around, I'll see what I can do.

Hi here's the locales in french

The nice thing about these programs you can always just go to debian or ubuntu repo and download there versions and remove just the locales and they should work. But I still have most of them laying around, I haven't reset my pc yet, so your in luck :)

Well if you did it the French Route then many congratulations. That's a long walk. Over 200km ???

When I visited the city I lived in Portugal so it seemed just over the border. But a very interesting part of the World nevertheless.

Salut.
Dave

Here's a music player deamon, once again you'll need the XFCE-Trio package to use it :)
you can read about how to connect it to your network server etc.
http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfmpc
P.s it needs to be configured before it plays music. I guess the playist editor can handle 100 000 songs,
locales included

Hi ttuuxxx.

We have many burn apps (lately xfBurn) could we leave just one or two?. They should cover all the basic function like ISO Burn, DVD/CD Burn (Data, video and sound) and Image Edition.

Actually I have all my DVD writers broken, then I can´t make consistent test over each application and I can´t really vote for one of them...

UPDATE: I just see your post about Simple Burn, could be this program the answer to my question?. Of course if some one can fix it.

Hi clarf, burn iso is part of grafburn :) and they are really small burners, due to the fact that they use puppies supplied backend, xfburn would be that small if it didn't bring its own updated backend also, Thats what makes xfburn unique. I'll think about removing gcombust, I've never used it, mostly I use xfburn, grafburn,tkdvd.

gcombust is 80kb
grafburn is 39kb
tk/dvd is 16kb

isomaster 82kb (this is a editor not a burner)

Ahhhhh !
ttuuxxx please don't remove gqview and leave us just with ristretto. I don't really like the way it works. IMO not a good substitute.
Pleeeze.

Hi dave I could make mtpaint as the default image viewer, just that gqview is really too large for what it does, whats wrong with ristretto, since I fixed it from crashing it should be fine, remember its pretty equipped forward,backward,fullscreen,zoom,slideshow what else did you want from a image viewer?
ttuuxxx
Ps I might try to add a feature or 2 to it, If I can figure out the code.

2.14X4 Network Configuration problem...

#613 Post by Hugh »

ttuuxxx and all,

PROBLEM SOLVED: Upgraded Ethernet Adapter Board

The one I'd been using was an old Intel, probably out of date.

Everything is " Spiffy " now!!
- - - - - - - - - -

I've downloaded your spectacular new version and really like the way it operates! And looks too!

But, I'm not able to get it to set up the network wizard to 'see' my att dsl. It does 'see' ETH0 but isn't able to successfully set up comms no matter which options are tried.

This problem isn't unique to your project so it must have something to do with the version of Wizard used.

No problems with dialup - works great!

No problem with the Network Wizard in 3.01 or 4.12R, so I presume they're somewhat different?

Would anyone have any clues? Or, is anyone else experiencing a problem with their dsl connections?

Music Player Daemon

#614 Post by tempestuous »

ttuuxxx,
your prolific rate of contributions is admirable, but it clearly overruns your ability to explain the usage of such applications.

Earlier in this thread

ttuuxxx wrote:Here's a music player deamon, once again you'll need the XFCE-Trio package to use it
That's "daemon" not "deamon", and what you have supplied is actually one of the front ends (not the back end daemon) for MPD, Music Player Daemon.

The daemon itself, mpd-0.14-i486.pet, has been contributed by forum member Taavi, here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 643#277643

A quick-and-dirty HOWTO:
Start the back end daemon on your server

Code: Select all

mpd
Take note of the server's IP address with this command

Code: Select all

ifconfig
Now start the MPD front end (xfmpc, gmpc, Sonata, or whatever) on your client machine, and go into Preferences. Enter the server's IP address in the "Host" field. Restart the front end.

If you like the look of MPD but don't want to run a separate server machine, you can run both the daemon application and the front end on the same machine. Just set the "Host" value as "localhost".

Well I sometimes want to view an image quickly. And other times I want to do a general search for an image which may even be hidden. eg in /root/.thumbnails/background.

With Ristretto I have found that it sometimes can give me a thumbnail image initially (this may be when the image is large) and then after a small wait the full image appears. Gqview seems quicker.

Also for finding files it sometimes doesn't seem to find "hidden" files
or greys-out a list of them even though it will display them.

These are small issues but never had a problem with Gqview. It just worked.

Just noticed that Ristretto doesn't have an exif viewer so that rules it out for me. Also I find mtpaint's window decoration too distracting when I want to view a photo. Viewing pics on a paint system seems wrong to me ??

I accept that some of this is subjective and you always like to reduce size, which is a good thing. I suppose it comes down to individual's preferences. To me 300kB for a good picviewer is Bytes well spent. I'd delete everything under Games myself but I doubt that would be popular :)

It's your call of course ttuuxxx but if you delete gqview could you make a pet as an option? I may be wrong but on my system it seems better for the large DSLR images I often produce, especially with exif included.

Cheers
Dave

Hi Hugh could you try the latest wizard and see if that helps, and if not, whats the make and model of your modem.

Thanks ttuuxx, very kind and helpful. :)
As I said I am just one voice so certainly don't expect everything to change just for me.

FWIW, if I can be of help I'll certainly be willing to test any other viewers.

I'm away this weekend, just as I expect you will be launching version X5, so won't be able to offer any feedback until early next week. Please don't think I've lost interest, far from it.

Cheers and thanks again.

Hi dave are you going to be around for a bit? I'm starting to compile them now, The first One I've liked for about 6 months now :) Its usually about 1/3 of the size, the reason why its so 180kb or half the size of gqview is because 2.14.1X doesn't include Gconf where as most newer versions of puppy do, So I added it, but If we went with this one, I would be more than happy to include Gconf, its used by many other programs. The funny thing about this viewer is the name Viewnoir noir is french for black, but it comes with locales and they don't supply a french locale, how that ? lol

Hey dave here's one you'll really like :wink:
and I Quote "Geeqie is a browser for graphics files offering single click viewing of your graphics files. It includes thumbnail view, zoom, filtering features and external editor support.

It is a successor of GQview, which is not actively developed for a long time, but Geeqie is currently considered alpha quality so you might want to stick with GQview for now. "
