(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I've written a script to replace gmeasures.
It's purpose is to convert the common units quickly and accurately.

It will show in start menu along side the calculators.
EDIT - added more languages - now Italian , French Spanish , German

It would be flexible so any programmer could modify it. It is gettexted.

Instructions are in next post. Select a category and click 'Proceed'
Then select a conversion and enter a value. Click 'Convert'.

Here's a picture of version 1.0 ....



_____________________________________________

New version 1.2

-added more conversions
-math reference windows are completed

Note that the math reference windows feature slows down the launching
of the program however it's still quick enough.
__________________________________

new version 1.5

-custom conversion is possible. Just fill in a conversion factor
and puppy will remember the factor.

I have finished all the features. I will test it for the next couple days
and report back.

I would appreciate people installing version 1.5 and giving it a test.

Please report to me. Is it fast enough?? Any mistakes in conversions??

__________________________________________________

Finished version 1.6

- added a few small changes
-found mistake ----> name for gettext was Puppyunits.sh
It should have been PuppyUnits.sh

Oddly it still worked with momanager...


Contact me if you want to translate script using momanager.

It should be quite easy. albeit time- consuming.

Just set your computer language (for instance fr for French)
Then install dev SFS package and then launch momanager.
Send mo file to me for inclusion.

Version 1.7

I found out how to put a default entry into inputbox using Xdialog
__________________________________________________

fyi - in posix shells the way to do default entries is ${VAR:-default_value}
so if $VAR is not set, it will display "default_value"
I once set up a whole method of localization this way that was faster than gettext and even had script for google to auto-translate the values

Ciao Don570,
after a few months here is the Italian translation.
Excellent pet, congratulations.

New version 1.8 has Italian translation - thanks to xanad

For some reason the Convert button isn't colored. I'll have to look into that.



__________________________________________________

version 1.9

- corrected mistake in solution to quadratic formula (bracket)

______________________________________________

- I tracked down the bug that was causing my orange button
to stay white in the international versions. I had
forgotten to gettext in an 'if' statement

___________________________________________________

version 2.1

-fixed volume of pyramid line

- added more languages - now Italian , French Spanish , German

Hello all.

For some reason, the illustration in post # 2 above got lost.

Please find attached some screen captures of don570's excellent script on
conversions and math. These are from the latest version, 2.2.

BFN.

Hello, don 570.

You are off subject, do you know that?!

Why not give https://myphotos.mypclinuxos.com a try?

IHTH.

I need to find a way to download the photos from photobucket.com
easily, rather than one by one. There must be a way of doing it.
