stu90,

sorry to intrude on the thread, and I truly apologize. But the rotating avatars are hilarious. 70's British sit-coms actors? right?

I was wondering, somewhat, if technosaurus or someone else might know, offhand, whether or not it links to glib or anything else of the sort. The website and documentation in the yad archive only mentions GTK 2.16 or higher as a dependency... not that I can recall what version of GTK2 is used by default in 4.3.1. Neutral

If it's not dependent upon glib or anything else like that, maybe the installs posted in this topic would work for me, as well. (I'd compile it myself, but I'm a little weary of trying to compile things at the moment... a little too much time spent tracking down dependencies. Laughing

All gtk deps are automatically included when you link it.

It can do the final link with -lgtk-x11-2.0 only ... the dynamic linker does the rest
I normally use the as-needed flag to allow backwards compat

4.3.x uses 2.14.7, AFAICT 2.16.6 is the last version without many annoying bugs - my pet is available somewhere in the forum, or try one of Barry's later versions with some workarounds.

It takes 1 min to download and compile and has no deps that are not in the devx... i'd do it but only have my Droid right now... for another week or so.

Wouldn't I have to update glib, too, if I updated GTK2 to 2.16? I'm remembering from this topic how those that tried upgrading to 2.16 might have problems with a scrambled desktop (and you said you'd created one of the update pets before recalling the insert-key-kills-Seamonkey bug, too, I believe), as well.

...of course, others reading that topic will notice I asked about the version of GTK2 used in Puppy 4.3.1 there, too, a while back. Smile

(I'd just prefer it if there was an easy way to tell the version... there's plenty of search engine links telling you it's extremely easy to do; all you have to do is check the Ubuntu package manager... Rolling Eyes

Ok, here's yad-0.9.0. compiled in Pup431. Just extract it to /usr/bin.

Cheers,

I thought it might be interesting to try out some of the functions in yad-0.9.0., so here is "Bfile", a password manager.

Bfile uses Puppy's Bcrypt for encryption.

The first time opened you will be asked for an 8 digit password and when the Bfile program dialog opens, select "edit" and then enter data. When done editing and making sure that all items are highlighted, hit enter or ok. Anything not highlighted will not be saved.

If you select and enter an item in the main dialog, your default browser will open at the chosen URL and the Userid will be put on the clipboard. Locate the logon userid box and just paste. Return to the Bfile dialog, select the same Url item and then click on "PastePW". Next, find the logon password box and paste.

Note: After the data file Bfile.bfe has been created, and you wish to edit the contents, be sure that all items you want kept are highlighted before hitting "enter" or "ok". If you hit "enter" or "ok" and nothing is highlighted, all the data is erased. (Fortunately, a backup file is generated and if renamed from Bfile.bfeBAK to Bfile.bfe, all is recovered) If nothing needs to be changed, you can safely exit "edit" by clicking "cancel". There's no error checking. If you enter the wrong password or no password, an empty dialog is shown.

Code following is mainly a demo of some Yad functions, so don't be in any hurry to give up the Figaro password manager. Very Happy

What would really be nice is a linux program that operated like the Windows program, Roboform, where all the text entry boxes are automatically located and filled in - no matter what the webpage produces......

Cheers,

Update: Yad-0.10.0
Compiled on Lucid puppy.

I just noticed that Yad 10.0 now requires a minimum gtk+ version of 2.16.0

Does anyone know how to check what version of gtk+ a pup has?

Cheers,
s

Many thanks vovchik

Here's yad-0.11.0, i opened up stu90's pet to make sure i packaged it the way he did. Of course, if you want to do the honors Stu90, i'll gladly delete this.
