tclhost,

Ok, should be able to do that, add a field for the "task". Maybe I could add it to the splash? Would that be suitable?

Cheers

Dear 01micko,

I made a few mods that shorten the script a bit (generated the item lists in loops). Please have a look. Also I replaced "file icon" with "file stock", since, in this way, gtkdialog respects the button icon size stipulated in the user's gtk theme.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thank you for this nice little useful application. Works great.

Hi Jim1911 and tlchost.

Jim, remember when you reported the bug? I bet it was around 8 or 9 in the morning right? tlchost, same. The problem is the code solution I chose, which Patriot kindly pointed out to me. It wont handle 08 or 09 because bash (in this instance) reads the 0 as a switch to change to base 8. Consequently the code fails because we are working in base 10.

Now I know what the problem is I can fix it, but the fixed version will be slightly slower I fear (no prob for you Jim ) but I can test and refine on my old k6 400 w/ 128Mib ram.

vovchik, thanks for your interest, I will look at your code and try to understand it, all good learning experience for me

Cheers and thanks for reports.

Thankyou for your addition, I love it! It will be in the next version, provided it works nice on my old machine, I can't see a problem. That code should trim a little fat too . I like it.

Cheers

vovchik,

I tried your function code and it didn't work. The gui rendered fine but it somehow would not allow the functions script to run correctly. The code (my code) is very , how shall we say, raw. There are still refinements to be made. I did implement the 'icon' to 'stock' change, thanks.

Cheers

Dear01micko,

I am scratching my head. I don't see how my functions can affect the stuff in the functions file, particularly since the gui renders in your case, too. All my functions do, as you know, is to generate the item lists - rather than having them hardcoded. It all works on my puppies (3.01 and 4.10).

With kind regards,
vovchik

I have it working now with my updated code . I was trying to implement too many changes at once... a bad idea . So I went back a step and implemented changes slowly.

Your function code will be in the next release. Just testing on old machine.

Cheers

Mick

Dear mick,

I ahve another little suggestion. Try using the following in the "Duration of Splash" hbox:
