If you replace the quotes (") with (') in the snapshot .desktop file (/usr/share/applications), I think it should work as before.

The fix is ready for next DuDE.

Thanks, I'll give it a try on the Nvidia special test edition of quirky-022 which incidentally DuDE is working great on.

Since DuDE is already installed, will I need to do anything extra other than changing the quotes?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim, I would say an X restart so DuDE actually restarts so the change can take effect.

The changes should be done inside the pet-package!!!!!! Before installation of snap

Hi guys,

I just installed Quirky-1, and DuDE.. there is plenty of JWM stuff missing but I did manage to persuade Barry to put in the background stuff for retrovol, but forgot to mention the new blinky and freememapplet. They are called differently in Q-1 and are true tray apps so no need to swallow.

Now they are called in /usr/sbin/delayedrun, which is called in ~/.xinitrc.

At line 31 in /usr/sbin/delayedrun you see this..

Code: Select all

#this goes into the tray...
CURRPS="`ps`"
if [ "`echo "$CURRPS" | grep -E 'lxpanel|fbpanel'`" != "" ];then
 freememapplet_tray & #created by BK.
 sleep 0.1
 blinky_tray & #created by Lior Tubi and MU.
 sleep 0.1
fi
Make it look like this..

Code: Select all

#this goes into the tray...
CURRPS="`ps`"
if [ "`echo "$CURRPS" | grep -E 'lxpanel|fbpanel'`" != "" ];then
 freememapplet_tray & #created by BK.
 sleep 0.1
 blinky_tray & #created by Lior Tubi and MU.
 sleep 0.1
 elif [ "`echo "$CURRPS" | grep -E 'jwm'`" != "" ];then
 freememapplet_tray ${BGOPT} & 
 sleep 0.1
 blinky_tray ${BGOPT} & 
 sleep 0.1
fi
The BGOPT variable is already defined, it is the JWM tray colour, though you see in my screeny, perhaps it's not reading it too well... maybe in DuDE the structure of the bottom tray is different or in a different place? You can have that one ziggy, since you are the one who is intimate with the DuDE...(lucky for me you are in Norway :lol: ) Later... after an X restart it's ok, but Barry's little cpu temp applet is missing, ah well couldn't be so easy eh?? :lol: (Aha.. the temp applet segfaults in jwm and fbpanel.. that's out a my league, also DuDE leaves a gap for old freememapplet)

Do this before you install, DuDE, oh, do an X restart make sure the tray apps work.

Now install Pwidgets (if you like) and then DuDE.

Enjoy.

Cheers

OMG :shock:

I better book a flight to Norway!

Also the segfault of the temp applet is intermittent, I'll file a bug report with Barry.

BTW, the old freememapplet is still in Quirky, just need to call it if you want, not sure if it conflicts with the newer freememapplet_tray.

Quirky DuDE look good....... but I see that we need an update for tray-services.

Glad you asked, DuDE has become my favorite first addition to puppy.

Consider adding to ptray functions:

1. Ability in Edit tray to move program buttons up and down in the list.
2. Ability to switch the Program button to a different directory, or at least a simple way to add or subtract programs that are in the default directory. Maybe just auto update the default to include current contents of /usr/share/applications when changes are made to it's contents.

Consider in Puppy Control Center:

1. Under Install, Remaster button -- call an updated remaster program that has the capability of pointing to a directory for needed files in addition to a CD or a previously mounted iso.
2. Under Desktop, Themes button -- add some more theme choices
3. Under Mouse/Keyboard, settings button -- add the capability to turn numlock key on/off when computer boots.

Question? What file should be edited to change the text in the favorites menu? What prompts the question is that some programs show up with the right icon but wrong program description ie. sol (Aisleriot Solitaire) shows up as "X-console - monitor console". This has occurred on all lupu versions tested, however it does show up correctly sometimes and appears to be related to whether gnome-games or DuDE is installed first.


Thanks,
Jim

Have you tried to drag items up/down the list? :wink: Maybe a tooltip would be good.
Jim1911 wrote:2. Ability to switch the Program button to a different directory
The apps in /usr/share/applications has their icon listed in /root/.stardust/tmp/iconlist. How do you want to fetch the correct icon for a app outside /usr/share/applications?

Does there exist a better remaster-script than the one included, or do you mean that we should have made a new one?

What choices are you thinking of?
Jim1911 wrote:3. Under Mouse/Keyboard, settings button -- add the capability to turn numlock key on/off when computer boots.
Yes, let's do it.......There is a program floating around here somewhere for turning it on/off......was it xnumlock?????? I don't want to include the program itself, but I will make a on/off button in pcc if it exist. Can anyone point me to it?

You can't edit anything, since it is generated by /usr/sbin/fixmenus_favorites everytime jwm is started. We should instead look at why this happens with some apps. Please point me to the actual apps. I am running Puppy 4.3.1 at the moment.


Thank you for your effort
Sigmund
