~572, p575, and p57577: three spins/updates of Precise 5.7.1

[Puppus Dogfellow]

could it be a firewall issue?

Yes.

would the client even need python?

No.

i toggled off (thanks, tronkel!) the firewall and it works beautifully. thanks, rcrsn51!

guess i'll try out playlists and the like, but since it needs to download to open, i'm guessing i need to look at a different tool for that. still, that was even easier than it was on windows, and i remember it being relatively easy on windows. and now i don't have to get out of the chair or use a cloud service to get files off a machine 20 or 30 feet away.

fantastic.

Please explain. To download files from the server, just use Right-click > Save as.

Back here, I have attached a variation of the Python server that lets you do uploads.

being able to upload makes it even better. the downloading worked from the onset, but i guess i had something like teamviewer (or remote desktop, if it does what i imagine it does based on its name) in mind with the playlist comment. i didn't realize that "open" meant download and open as opposed to "download," which meant just that, so i figured i could access, for example, a playlist of mp3s on one machine and play the mp3s that that machine's playlist is calling, but do so using the media player from the client machine. something like that. it's been a while since i've used teamviewer so i may be misremembering what it does, but i recall it being or feeling laggy when i tried to do what i just described.

[rcrsn51]

This HTTP server is easy to set up, but the client must depend on his browser to decide what to do with the content. If you click on a .pls file and your browser opens it in media player X, it can be a bugger to make it use player Y instead.

The nice thing about a Samba server is that remote files behave (almost) exactly as if they were on your own machine.

Hi Puppus Dogfellow,

sorry, corvus, i (sort of*) never made any.

Don't worry, you are welcome!

*not sure if getting byte-specific with sizes is adequate, but i've done this for dozens of installations without (the iso itself as) a problem. again, sorry. one process actually autogenerates a md5sums for the main sfs and i chucked it (at least five times ).

Yes, I think it's enough.

I really appreciate your work. Thanks for your time and effort spent on this project!

Regards

corvus

~572.1 adds: nwp, vgt, some menu tweaks, the return of the/a bottom tray.

from /nwp/root3/vtg3:

keyboard shortcuts:

major changes from stock puppies: alt plus 1-0 is root menus 1-(1)0.

alt+z is the vtg, which will launch a line in a geany document as if it were entered into a terminal. it goes with alt+g, which calls geany and opens 4 files, one blank (it's a word processor with the nwp functions, so it starts with a place for you to write in addition to:) vtg1, "combination crib sheet for useful codes, menu/bookmarks launcher, scrap, VGT and NWP help. first, some useful codes...place cursor and press VGT button or shortcut to launch code or program"; vtg2, "execs stripped from an installation of `572/~572:...feast puppy and fat puppy...grave puppy, dead serious puppy....anyway, the execs are stock plus a little:"; vtg3, which is this, the shift plus spacebar activated launcher's shortcuts, and the keyboard shortcuts that are a work in progress...

well, this seems like as good a place to place what i've got documented so far as far as the shortcuts go. three of the four that pop up with alt+g (which was formerly alt+ctrl+g and a different set of help files):


vtg3:

terminal nwp/pwn/pax shortcuts:


s# send active window to desktop#
s#s send next clicked window to desktop#
d# go to desktop#
c plus a single letter is normally a close command--cr, close rox; cu, close urxvt terminals; ct, close rxvt Terminal.
pp# --change pinboard
p# --change/toggle four panel set frame (can be altered down to one)
my# --swap out custom jwm configurations
gea3 --edit custom jwm configurations
la, lb, lm ---layer above, below, middle/normal for active window
las,lbs, lms ---layer above, below, middle/normal for selected window
stk, ustk --stick unstick active (add an s for the click to select version)
pv2--partview and rox /mnt
rr --rox recently visited
rb1 --four (iirc) rungs down on the rox bookmarks menu
rup --three rungs up from the bottom of the rox bookmarks menu
wp-- access the nwp area of one of the root menus
w5 --access the quadrants, halves, and wholes area of one of the root (jwm) menus
pcp --access pup control
fnr --find and run
hlx -- htop in an urvxt window and lx task ...
ppm is a built in for package manager (will work without pxc launcher or anything having been symlinked to /root/my-applications/bin)
x#-- move to # on x-axis (increments of 5)
y# --move to # on y-axis (increments of 5)
h# --height (increments of 5)
w# --width (increments of 5)
rs --resize
t --terminal (set for my-applications/bin, so launchable from terminal or np/nwp/pxc launcher)
f --findandrun (also set for my-apps/bin)
np --nwpus launcher2
sd --speeddials
sdr --speed dials recent list only
gnysys --open a slew of config files in geany
3but -- speed dials and a version of winswitcher
ws -- winswitcher (also ctrl plus spacebar).
galc -- galculator
nc-- notecase
gd -- goldendict
5c -- print out the template command for making multiple copies of a file
5cd -- print out the template command for making multiple copies of a directory
7c -- print out the command for changing permissions of a script to executable (kind of lazy--chmod 755 isn't that involved...).
1 -- single monitor menu
2 -- double monitor menu
g -- grid menu
x -- x axis menu
y -- y axis menu
w -- width menu
h -- height menu
mv -- move
wn -- windows menu
mn -- minimize
mx -- maximize window
o -- old windows manipulation menu
s -- new version of supplemental menus
n -- the original nwpus menu
n1 -- the full word-processing menu without any of the supplementals. it has n2 and n3 as submenus but gives some prominence to the overall document formatting commands from n3
n2 -- just the highlight and click to apply word processing/html code section
n3 -- the paste and place section of the main (word processing) menu.
slac -- search all databases
sloc -- search selected database with option to print results #sometimes problematic
sluc --update all slocate databases/create databases (thanks to musher0 for the slocate wrapper and the three scripts i've renamed here)

sv -- make a folder a server. open a terminal and sv in the pax launcher (nwp launcher, etc) will print out "python -m SimpleHTTPServerWithUpload"--open a browser in the client computer and input the ipnet address (run ifconfig in a terminal) with :8000 appended to it (i.e. http://192.168.1.66:8000). this will allow you to upload and download files to the directory you ran the sv command (i.e. shift+spacebar (which pops up the modified pexec launcher showing /nwp/ in the entry box) then sv then enter) in.
by rcrsn51. thread here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 132#415132

fw -- toggle firewall on off (actually give a pop up that provides the function. requires the pet by tronkel you can find at
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 9ea478cf1f). rcrsn51's SimpleHTTPServerWithUpload won't run with the firewall in place and this is a convenient way to temporarily disable it.

these last two don't yet currently exist in the upped iso or any nwp-vtg package. the scripts for /nwp are

_______________sv________________
#!/bin/sh


xdotool type 'python -m SimpleHTTPServerWithUpload'
#"http:[inetaddress]:8000" in browser on client. requires python and by to rcrsn51.
# use ifconfig to get inetaddress. thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 132#415132

-------------------

update: following has been added:

hlx - htop (through urxvt) and lxtask
bh - adds bold tags around a selection of text in any text editor

for f in TTT{2..6} ; do cp -r TTT $f ; done

#see line 69 for details (ctrl+l 69 enter)
^you can use ctrl+l or ctrl+f to go to line or find...you can also navigate/placehold by bracket, brace, or marker through the built in shortcut keys.

this is living scrap--there's really no reason to comment anything out--you can also highlight sections of code to see if they work--handy when putting menus together, etc...

find $PWD /root/my-applications/bin > /root/myapbin1; geany /root/myapbin1

^the above line of code launched with VTG will make a text file of all the files/paths in /root/my-applications/bin (swap out the first path for the location of your choice) and then open it (named on the fly--choose whatever you like for the location and name for the final two paths given).

ls /usr/share/applications > /root/pupaps1; geany /root/pupaps1

^gives you most as a list opened in geany, but you'll need to ditch the .desktop part of the file names and the capitalization.
edit > select all > format > toggle case and search > find and replace > [.desktop] [space, blank, return all work] > whole document
and you be able to launch puppy's apps from menus that can be altered and expanded as you're using them.
to get an idea of the control this gives you, play around with the following code:

[...]




---bookmarks and programs---

hardinfo
htop
gexec
df -h

^i have RoxTerminal set to autostart with four open tabs. you can highlight and middle click a tab to paste a name change/middle click in the tab to run the code (as with any terminal, use the arrow keys to scroll back through past entries or tab tab to autocomplete). activated with the vtg, df -h (drive sizes and free space in human readable form) and htop will output in the terminal window, and gexec and hardinfo will pop up their respective guis. (i'd've made one of them the PupControl center, but i made a scriptlet to call it and renamed it pcp--keyboard shortcut to the terminal and muscle memory actually makes that faster for me, but that's another strategy for quickly launching programs you use often/often enough.) use ctrl+7 to toggle the view back to the terminal and see the output/return to the document.

tips/reminders: escape will shut the list, ctrl+Home takes you to /root(~), and Backspace moves to parent folder--you don't really need a speed dial (designate by ctrl+0-9, access by 0-9) for / or ~ because of this (ctrl+Home followed by Backspace reaches / from any folder). call the bookmarks list with ctrl+b; left click and enter close the original, middle and right click open the bookmark as an additional folder. \ is the right click menu, / opens the path search bar at the bottom of the window.

^open a bunch of useful files in geany. this is the same group i used for the recent files list in the geany.config file i'm attaching. rename/replace yours to have spell check, tree browser, the virtual terminal, and the general layout seen in the pic in the first post. swap out the recents for your own to save yourself a potential inconvenience (look around line 150 or so for your document history).


to compile (from Barry K in another thread):


# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
Or
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

But you should always run --help to find out all options:
# ./configure --help

A problem that often comes up with Quirky and many earlier pups is due to Xorg being in /usr/X11/R7. Here is a bunch of stuff that you can do prior to running configure:

export LIBS='-I/usr/X11R7/include'
export CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/X11R7/include'
export CFLAGS='-I/usr/X11R7/include'
export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/X11R7/lib'
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/X11R7/include
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/X11R7/include

...most often not needed, certainly not all of that.

(and then i guess:)

make install

^to make a help file of many if not most programs

active and select resize scripts, active send-to, stick, and layer scripts, plus the code i found that made it easy to put together and why i recommend gexec:

grep -lr --exclude-dir=".excludedsub(repeat for each subtree)" -e "SELECT" . | xargs sed -i "s/SELECT/ACTIVE/g"

i used the above to flip a directory worth of files from select scripts to active scripts. here's the reverse, in case you find yourself making your own versions and want to spare yourself from needlessly doubling the effort involved getting a set for each:

grep -lr --exclude-dir=".excludedsub" -e "ACTIVE" . | xargs sed -i "s/ACTIVE/SELECT/g"

adapted from here:

http://www.isaacsukin.com/news/2013/06/ ... -directory

(i used the built-in gnfrename to batch rename a directory of copies, then copied the new scripts back into /root/my-applications/bin. remember to check the permissions if something won't run.)

touch command to make them real files. [i typed out a series of numbers (200 -1800 by 25s; echo {200..1800..25} would've produced the same sequence), replaced the space (through geany's find and replace function) with space plus path, added touch in front of the resulting list, and got a batch of files that way. used gfnrename to rename copies of the originals in separate folders for height, width, select, and active (the included active send-tos were done with the grep line that starts this readme). included the content with the little script above, placed in and activated from the same folder that held the originals (spare yourself some work and copy them after the content's been added. to do: learn the code for transposing values after commas--that'd make the process more automated still...you could also i'm sure have sed/awk/grep (tr, cut?) take the values from a list and put them in the proper place in each file. this'll do for now...)

findnrun
#--------------------
#^findnrun is probably the best thing to choose when you can only remember three characters in the title of the program, but it appears to only search the desktops files and so can't launch the terminal shortcuts. it gets a launch shortcut of its own, but i recommend gexec to launch the mini-scripts, whether resize, reposition, or just in general. the lack of a zealous highlight/replace-predict action may mean you need an extra tab-press to complete something like sak into sakura compared to say, gRun, but that same thing allows shorter two and three character scripts to be run without the launcher automatically predicting some longer-titled items, apparently by default interpreting those titles as fragments of longer titles outside /root/my-applications/bin--you won't be able to access them if there's a conflict. gexec's dropdown history window (which you can preload and make into a menu of sorts) also appears to work better than gRun's. i haven't done much testing with Prun, but it seems to work very well for all the non-resize/reposition shortcuts--it fails with them in the same way the terminals do (as discussed earlier, terminals are out for launching the resize reposition scripts on active windows since they'll only be resizing/repositioning themselves).

(findandrun found (gfnrename) pretty easily (top of the list by third character) and allows you to grab the launch name for the vgt...)

worth knowing: pexec works as well as gexec (and also has a pull down menu you can preload).

post is already kind of long--i'll make another in a bit with the keyboard shortcuts as they stand in ~571.1-~571.4--there are actually fewer than there'd be if you started with an earlier series and added them as i placed them in this this thread. i noticed the launcher shortcuts list is missing a1-a10 and the same for b--it's the double monitors menu as individual commands. a is for quadrants (5 and ten place the quadrant-sized window in the center of monitors 1 and 2 respectively (more or less--they're not based on absolute screen dimensions like the single monitor menu is) and the b series does halves and wholes. single monitor menu is more accurate, double monitor menu has more build in shortcuts for the launcher--both should have their share of shortcuts on the keyboard, the number row iirc, which brings me to the following point: in the long run it may be easier to remember the shortcuts called by letter combinations rather than ones that require multiple modifiers. spacebar also flows well, but sometimes can be pressed accidentally.

[Puppus Dogfellow]

geany /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal or leafpad /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal in a terminal, launcher, or geany document+alt+z or button press will open up the file that contains all the keyboard shortcuts. A is alt, C is ctrl, S is shift, and 4 is the windows key. among what you see there are


1. space bar shortcuts:


<Key mask="A" key="space">exec:rox</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="space">exec:winswitcher</Key>
<Key mask="S" key="space">exec:pwn</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="space">exec:sd</Key>
<Key mask="CS" key="space">exec:gexec</Key>
<Key mask="AS" key="space">exec:lp5a</Key>
<Key mask="CAS" key="space">exec:cr</Key>



lp5a is "turn the active window into a box a quarter size of the screen and place it somewhere in the center of the screen." it's from the single monitors menu. cr is close all rox and pwn is the launcher that does all the /nwp shortcuts from the previous post. i switch these out fairly frequently--only the alt (rox, rox history, or rox bookmarks), shift (a terminal or launcher) and ctrl (MochiMoppel's winswitcher) say more or less consistent. i think these past two months i've stuck with the three above--some sort of record of late.


---------

this next batch is a bit haphazard and mostly exists because i needed a way to call stuff from pwn and the menus and assigning it to keys and then calling the keys with xdotool proved a workable solution.

2. Escape key cuts:

<Key mask="A" key="Escape">fullscreen</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="Escape">showdesktop</Key>
<Key mask="S" key="Escape">window</Key>
<Key mask="AC" key="Escape">move</Key>
<Key mask="AS" key="Escape">minimize</Key>
<Key mask="CS" key="Escape">maximize</Key>
<Key mask="SAC" key="Escape">resize</Key>


3. number key cuts:


<Key mask="A" key="1">root:1</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="2">root:2</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="3">root:3</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="4">root:4</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="5">root:5</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="6">root:6</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="7">root:7</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="8">root:8</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="9">root:9</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="0">root:0</Key>

<Key mask="AC" key="1">exec:a1</Key>
<Key mask="AC" key="2">exec:a2</Key>
<Key mask="AC" key="3">exec:a3</Key>
<Key mask="AC" key="4">exec:a4</Key>

<Key mask="SC" key="j">exec:upperrightquadrant2</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="k">exec:lowerleftquadrant2</Key>

<Key mask="SAC" key="h">exec:3but</Key>
<Key mask="SAC" key="j">exec:cr</Key>
<Key mask="SAC" key="k">showdesktop</Key>
<Key mask="SAC" key="l">window</Key>


normally i use the function keys for the 24 desktops, but it's recently occurred to me i actually more often use s# and d# for send to and go to so i didn't copy all the function shortcuts over, just these:

<Key mask="C" key="Tab">prev</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="Tab">next</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="F4">close</Key>

<Key mask="A" key="F1">root:3</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="F2">window</Key>
<Key mask="A" key="F3">root:1</Key>

<Key mask="S" key="F2">root:2</Key>
<Key mask="S" key="F1">showdesktop</Key>
<Key mask="S" key="F3">exec:winswitcher</Key>
<Key mask="S" key="F4">exec:sd</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F12">exec:lp25</Key
<Key mask="C" key="F11">exec:lp24</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F10">exec:lp23</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F9">exec:lp22</Key
<Key mask="C" key="F8">exec:lp21</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F7">exec:righthalf2</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F6">exec:lefthalf2</Key
<Key mask="C" key="F5">exec:bottomhalf2</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F4">exec:tophalf2</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F3">exec:sakura</Key
<Key mask="C" key="F2">exec:cr</Key>
<Key mask="C" key="F1">exec:3but</Key>
<Key mask="4" key="v">exec:partview</Key>


that's about it--down over fifty or so...really only use shift, alt, ctrl plus space and the ask to kill dexter homerow shortcuts. (cadi is close all instances on all desktops of a given program and ccdi is the same for current...alt+shift+j (the whole row shuts stuff down) to close is pretty handy once you get the hang of using the row that way). little by little, everything seems to be more easily launched and remembered through/ everything seems to have been replaced by the pwn/nwp combo.

maybe i should hype it as a senility aid. or is it a senility product?

the last section is aemenu popus--2 for double monitor menu, n for nwp main menu, g for a pop up that grids out the screen in 100 pixel increments, s for the supplemental nwp menu.

supleft et al are for grabbing and scooting (roughly six times regular speed) the active window--handy for when the grid or some other feature sends windows to pixels beyond what your setup actually has--retrieve them from neverland or just roughly (compared to the mv shortcut or move through the windows menu--they fly, but they don't fly true) position them without the mouse or the usual sloth of the keyboard.

if you want to add the vlc from ~572.31-41 to ~572.11, use:


qt-4.8.2-stripped.pet

vlc-2.0.7-i686.pet

vlc_DOC-2.0.7-i686.pet

i'm getting some weird behavior from one 571 machine running palemoon--flash/html5 videos won't play if flashblock is enabled unless you disable it first with the button on the menu--you can still use it to "load" tabs with memory heavy content and suffer no penalty, but to actually play the video and still (mostly--this is admittedly not as convenient as it actually working correctly) use the flashblock feature, you may need to click the Fx green, reload the page, re-enable flashblock, repeat.

in firefox in ~572, the flashblock works correctly but the browser doesn't want to take my word for it that i in fact actually want to use the flashplayer i have installed and i don't want to be asked about it any more.

the palemoon issue is probably more annoying, but neither problem occurs on two other machines (essentially) running the same spin.

[Puppus Dogfellow]

you can open the files in need of a fix with

Code: Select all

geany /root/2.jwmrc-tray /root/topright 

or

Code: Select all

leafpad /root/2.jwmrc-tray| leafpad /root/topright 

change the line (near the top, line five or so) from

Code: Select all

 <TrayButton label="vtg">vtg</TrayButton> 

to

Code: Select all

<TrayButton label="vtg">exec:vtg</TrayButton>

or, if you have the other version, add the "exec:" to

Code: Select all

 <TrayButton label="vtg">xdotool key alt+1 Down Return</TrayButton>

, making it

Code: Select all

<TrayButton label="vtg">exec:xdotool key alt+1 Down Return</TrayButton>

(i think in that file it's line three).

restart jwm for the fix to take effect.

(jwm -restart in a terminal or use the gui).

the latter tray is commented out and is meant for the right hand monitor of a dual screen set up. change the "x=#" in line two to the width of your left side monitor plus a pixel or so (for whatever buffer you want between the monitors, if any) and get rid of the <!-- --> bit (or just recopy the part between them) and restart jwm to use it.


[the vtg button (along with alt+z or "vtg" in the nwp/pwn launcher) will take a line or highlighted bit in geany and send it to the terminal, allowing you to open files and programs and launch scripts from the document you're working in.

see here.

[Puppus Dogfellow]

sv -- make a folder a server. open a terminal and sv in the pax launcher (nwp launcher, etc) will print out "python -m SimpleHTTPServerWithUpload"--open a browser in the client computer and input the ipnet address (run ifconfig in a terminal) with :8000 appended to it (i.e. http://192.168.1.66:8000). this will allow you to upload and download files to the directory you ran the sv command (i.e. shift+spacebar (which pops up the modified pexec launcher showing /nwp/ in the entry box) then sv then enter) in.
by rcrsn51. thread here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 132#415132

fw -- toggle firewall on off (actually give a pop up that provides the function. requires the pet by tronkel you can find at
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 9ea478cf1f). rcrsn51's SimpleHTTPServerWithUpload won't run with the firewall in place and this is a convenient way to temporarily disable it.

these last two don't yet currently exist in the upped iso or any nwp-vtg package. the scripts for /nwp are

they exist now and the post from which this was taken edited to reflect that (that vtg help file is still behind the times with those and the following:


sk - sakura (also t in nwp/pwn/pax or any terminal for most of them (some may be set to urxvt or rxvt--they all have sakura though)
rn - gfnrename (batchrenamer)
hlx - htop (through urxvt) and lxtask
bh - adds bold tags around a selection of text in any text editor
uh - adds underline tags around a selection of text in any text editor
sth - add strikethrough tags around a selection of text in any editor or window that can receive text input
ih - add italics tags around a selection of text in any editor or window that can receive text input
bb - print out bold tags
cmt - print out comment (<!-- -->) tags
ii - print out italics tags
st - print out strikethrough tags
ul - print out underline tags

)
------

Geoffrey's got a new way to update your flashplayer. it runs at startup, but if you like, you can drag the script that the pet deposits there to quar (a "quarantined" folder in Startup), rename it uf (or fu), copy it to /nwp, and run it the the pax launcher with uf (or fu). anyway, it's recommended and i wish i had done something similar for uten's get most recent java script, something like:

/root/my-applications/bin/sfs-java.sh; rox /tmp/java-sfs #name jv or launch with vtg (it will take you to the folder after the script makes the sfs).

geany update:

geany 1.25 and plugins from corvus

screeny showing root menus 1, 2, and 3, the normally commented out bottom tray for the right side monitor, and the two pop up hidden trays (top (vtg, show desktop, root menus 6-10, dock and clock) and vertical left (clock, pager, tasklist)).




the long vertical line allows winswitcher to be accessed from either monitor--it's just an underline in place of the original text. you can make a sliver or blank icon to set the height--the link icon in the pic is actually in the buffer between my monitors and not ordinarily visible--and give your desktop huge icons. you can also shrink the standard set and get relatively tiny ones (such as those seen around the drive icons, themselves reduced to about half original size).

desktop restore

my most recent installation of ~572.11 was losing most of its puppypin customizations at every reboot, so i installed jpep's desktop restore pet, having remembered it solved the problem on the precise 5.5 i was running on this machine. much to my delight, it not only fixed that problem, it fixed some other, far more annoying glitch--the monitor settings were lost at every reboot (three for three), necessitating an exit to prompt and and a visit to the xorg screen (at least you start getting faster at it). i don't recall this being stated as a cure for that problem, but it apparently is.

[Puppus Dogfellow]

just tried out 573.11--it boots fast but it has no bottom tray because i can't tell twos from threes apparently.

open up root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal and change the three to a two and vice versa to have the bottom tray these spins were intended to have.

Code: Select all

	<Include>/root/2.jwmrc-tray</Include>
		<Include>/root/3.jwmrc-tray</Include>

(three was supposed to have been the right side of a dual--comment out two and uncomment three if you are without a bottom tray and would like to add one.)

nwp-improvement_pack


included nwp commands:

bb2 -- span tags for bold fonts or other, non default font choices (bold tags don't appear to work though the nwp's underlining and italics tags show the expected results). default is for monospace, same as po1, po2, po4 (the latter two are templates, po1 is an xdotool "spit this code" script/a backup of the main (monospace) template).

gpo -- open the browser, leafpad, and geany configuration files for the nwp word processor plus the default default templates in geany.# geany /nwp/po1 /nwp/po2 /nwp/po3 /nwp/po4 /nwp/po5 /nwp/po6 /nwp/gpo /nwp/lpo /nwp/bpo /nwp/bb2

pb -- closest i can come to html page breaks--doesn't appear this bit will translate well to pdf conversions--more a visual aid and bookmark than anything.

po -- open po2
po1 -- print out an improved version of the preotry template
po2 -- (template--po1 without the mini-wait--use clone (under documents menu) or save as to preserve the file)
po3 -- geany /nwp/po4 /nwp/po5 /nwp/po6 /nwp/po2
po4 -- template as 14 pt monospace
po5 -- template as 14 pt sans
po6 -- template as 14 pt serif

pr -- print out paragraph tags
prc -- print out paragraph centered tags
prj -- print out paragraph justified tags
prl -- print out paragraph left tags
prr -- print out paragraph right tags

v -- activate vtg

lpo -- leafpad /nwp/po2| leafpad /nwp/po4 /nwp/po5| leafpad /nwp/po6| leafpad /nwp/lpo (open the wp template files in leafpad; open the file that determines what leafpad opens

bpo -- open the default template files in a browser so you can see the line spacing, highlighting, etc. use gpo to edit what the command calls and what browser gets opened.

#you may want to open the files in dillo or another lightweight, not-necessarily-primary browser (swap out dillo for your choice). left click select and middle click paste/copy-paste in general from the browser's view to the word processor (online or otherwise) of your choice. lpo and gpo mostly open up template files in geany, but the files needed to configure what gets opened are also opened. po1 spits out the template code, and while xdotool types at about eight words a second, it's still faster to open a file with the necessary formatting in already in place. use save as or clone (under document) to preserve the included templates. alter the gpo, lpo, and bpo scripts that pop up with the gpo command to reflect your stash of files and their locations. 
dillo /nwp/po2 /nwp/po4 /nwp/po5 /nwp/po6

xdotool type '<<<<<<<p__a___g__e___<!-- find by bbbb (etc) -->↡______b_r__e__a__k_______>>>>>>>'

this is pretty terrible. it's better to use a template that has a built in function for creating page breaks (from what i've seen, the browser (i.e. you) can only see the page breaks in print preview (accessible in firefox through the file menu). if you want to use a visual aid to demarcate where the breaks are or should be, the <hr> tag puts a line across the width of the screen. the following template creates a page break every time <hr> is placed.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
hr {page-break-before: always;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color:black; font-weight:normal; font-family: monospace">



(delete this and place your content here. adjust the line above for the general text formatting of your document)




</span>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

the placement for the page break is set for just before the line the hr tag creates. because of this (and the fact i don't want a line going across the top of every page), i use

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#hr1--10%, grey right side
xdotool type '<hr size="2" align="right" width="20%" color="grey">'

in place of <hr>. hr in the nwp/pwn/pax launcher spits out <hr>, hr1 spits out the above template, hrt is a sample of the template (these and the others from this post will be included in the next pack). here's the left side version (hrl. right side can be called with hrr.)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#hrl
xdotool type 'xdotool type '<hr size="2" align="left" width="35%" color="grey">''

you can use <hr> for a marker you can see when looking at the document with formatting in effect, but if you want to place invisible page breaks, use

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#page break. name pb (replace older version)
xdotool type '<par style="page-break-after: always"></par>'

or

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#page break above tag. name pbb.
xdotool type '<par style="page-break-before: always"></par>'

not sure what printers and pdf (etc) converters can read the syntax, but the page breaking function appears to be working.

for a visual marker inside the document in text view (i.e. when a given file is being viewed in a text editor rather than a web browser), use the launcher plus "cmt"--this will give you blank comments as a search anchor or visual aid (you could also dual purpose them by adding whatever you like--it won't be visible in the web browser view though).


to easily get a dual view of a document with the vtg, highlight some of the files you're working on and paste (middle click) in a geany document. add geany in front of the lot you want to open in tabs. copy the line and swap the geany for your choice of browser to open those same files in tabs with that program. open either with the vtg (alt+z or one of the menu or tray buttons), v in the launcher (with the previous pack), or by pasting the code into a terminal. refresh to see the updates/don't refresh to keep older versions and views hanging around.

puup!.tar.gz (19kb)
also in xz flavor: puup!.tar.xz(17kb)
from the readme:

a minimalistic word processor that uses built in apps (text editors and browsers). copy the nwp directory to /; requires xdotool and dash (full nwp requires aemenu and wmctrl as well). use shift plus spacebar or something else that's easily pressed to launch the launcher. I give you pu(/)up! (actually, i think it's pretty good). anyway, here's the newest update and documentation:


all wp codes launch paste and place version of nwp commands rather than the highlight and apply versions. included nwp commands:

bb -- bold
bb2 -- span tags for bold fonts or other, non default font choices (bold tags don't appear to work though the nwp's underlining and italics tags show the expected results). default is for monospace, same as po1, po2, po4 (the latter two are templates, po1 is an xdotool "spit this code" script/a backup of the main (monospace) template).
book -- older version of one of the docs--customize if you like
bpo -- open the default template files in a browser so you can see the line spacing, highlighting, etc. use gpo to edit what the command calls and what browser gets opened
bq -- block quote tags
f - findnrun, optional but recommended
gpo -- open the browser, leafpad, and geany configuration files for the nwp word processor plus the default default templates in geany.# geany /nwp/po1 /nwp/po2 /nwp/po3 /nwp/po4 /nwp/po5 /nwp/po6 /nwp/gpo /nwp/lpo /nwp/bpo /nwp/bb2
h1-h6 -- print out tags for headings 1-6
her -- open the hr template in geany
herl -- open the hr template in leafpad
hero -- open the hr template in geany
hr -- print out hr tags
hr0 -- open the hr template in geany
hr0l -- open the hr template in leafpad
hr1 -- spit out hr doc template
hrl -- <hr> tag, 35%, grey left side
hrr -- <hr> tag, 10%, grey right side
hrt -- template for autopage breaks with hr tag. called by other scripts.
ii -- italics tags
link -- external form of the toc tags
lp -- launch leafpad
lpo -- leafpad /nwp/po2| leafpad /nwp/po4 /nwp/po5| leafpad /nwp/po6| leafpad /nwp/lpo (open the wp template files in leafpad; open the file that determines what leafpad opens
mono -- open monospace template with geany

serf -- open serf template with geany
serfl -- open serf template with leafpad
sert -- serif doc template
sub -- subscript tags
sup -- superscript tags
t -- launch terminal of your choice (delete/comment sakura and uncomment or add your choice)

toc and tic paste bookmark/hyperlink codes. good for tables of contents, master documents, etc. on the editing side, you can make bookmarks in geany with ctrl+m, which will also toggle it off. ctrl plus comma is previous bookmark, control plus period is next bookmark. the plugin for numbered bookmarks makes a list on the side panel (unless that's default and i can't just can't figure out how to work/access the plug in version):

tic -- tic same page template and anchor --new tab
tic1 -- external page or same or external file, no anchor -- same tab
tic2 -- external page or same or external file with anchor -- same tab
toc -- toc same page template and anchor, same tab (general bookmarks). look up your text editor's method for bookmarking for the edit text (also non formatted) view.
toc1 -- external page or same or external file, no anchor -- new tab
toc2 -- external page or same or external file with anchor -- new tab

to open files in geany at specific location, append :line#:column# to the file, i.e. geany /nwp/docs/file1:50:14

ul -- underline
v -- activate vtg
xp -- launch xpad/new xpad


------------------


templates:
#geany -i /nwp/templates/0 /nwp/templates/00 /nwp/templates/01 /nwp/templates/02 /nwp/templates/03 /nwp/templates/04 /nwp/templates/05 /nwp/templates/06 /nwp/templates/hero /nwp/templates/hr01 /nwp/templates/mono01 /nwp/templates/readme /nwp/templates/sans01 /nwp/templates/serf01


tip: use geany -i to open whole directories or other large batches of files each in their own instance of geany. save
tip two: right click on a blank space in a rox window, click new, customize, and then drag selected contents of the included templates window to the folder that popped up--you will now be able to make new docx, odt (these two if supported by your system's installed applications) nwp documents (four templates) with a right click in any rox folder.
tip 3: highlight and middle click in geany or highlight and drag to xpad or leafpad windows to gather paths for easy batch-launching in the future.

***




to get rid of the headers and footers that most browsers are set by default to use, file > print >options and alter the six boxes to your liking (method works for seamonkey, firefox, chromium. can't find print on dillo, haven't as yet tried palemoon or opera or ...).

pick a browser and editor to use--other than the vtg specific command and the two that call other programs, all these wp commands should work on pretty much anything.


........

dependencies: dash, xdotool

copy or symlink files to /nwp or /root/my-applications/bin.

(locations other than /nwp will need a few tweaks, though /root/my-applications/bin should be virtually effortless. off path locations for the folder of commands require additional tweaks to two other files...

***

also of potential use/interest:

while the underlining (ul), italics (ii) and other tags worked in all the browsers i tried, the bold tags worked in none, leading me to discover the span tag. this allows easy control of the default font for the document as a whole while also allowing for easy switching up of text size, color, format, etc. line spacing is set by your actual key presses--the pre tag makes sure what you do is what you get as far as how it's all laid out on the page, but you can swap spacing in sections or whole documents with the search and replace function (in geany--leafpad's a bit more limited, i think) and regular expressions (i.e. to switch single spacing to double, replace \n with \n \n--new to it, but i think it will work. choose whole document or selection, tick the "use regular expressions" box.) from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 113#860113


to take fullest advantage of the speed and simplicity of nwp and pu(/)up, the launcher should be given a shortcut such as shift plus space bar.


---p.dogfellow, 8/15

(double u instead of w because of the optional, yet to be released but you have it if you add this version of nwp to the last version and subsequent updates Utilities Pack, i.e. it's not just a Word Processor.)

good to know: most browsers can save as pdf it seems.

from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 360#860360


for these spins it's just a drop in improvement pack--add to nwp, overwrite conflicts. if you know in advance rox's asking if it's okay to overwrite will get on your nerves (it shouldn't--i think there are fewer than ten conflicts) use spacefm for the move.
