Desktop Icon Arrangement 1.8.1 & 1.8.2

[trio]

Hello,
I'm having a hard time keeping up.

I've been using it to generate custom puppy pins for some things I'm doing. Quite handy.

Hi puppylvr,

glad it's useful

v1.7

Older versions were already of good quality. But with the 1.7 and its new features, it's even better than before.
Thank you trio!

I will in the next few days prepare a French translation.

Hello trio.

I made some modifications to add the missing gettexts and improve some of the messages.
I have not changed the functions.
I'll let you check out.

Together, I prepared a package NLS for translations (currently, only the translation fr is integrated).

v1.7.1

A user of the francophone forum pointed out to me a bug.

When restoring a backup, he gets the message "You don have drive icons to show." Together, device icons are not displayed (because the "pup_event_frontend_d" script does not seem to be activate).
I have the same problem on my computer (precise 5.7.1).

I started to look at, but I do not understand where the error is.

Please try from terminal

Code: Select all

cat /etc/eventmanager | grep 'ICONDESK' | grep -v '#' | cut -d '=' -f 2

if returns true then there's a bug, if returns false then there's no bug

"true"

Result is "true".

Ok, I'll look into it. I'm a bit busy right now. And I have to boot from Precise to check the bug.

v1.7.2: fix apply func, compatible with precise (different output from eventmanager, hopefully only two kinds of eventmanagers in puppies)

Thank to Asri -- see main post

v1.8: wallpaper is not saved, will set current wallpaper when appllying. compatible with tahr pup also (different wallpaper setter/doesn't register in $HOME/.config/walpaper/bg_img)

see main post.

Note: better if you re-save your existing arrangements

Hello trio.

I'll try to change the script v1.8.1 to allow the user to indicate if he wants to save/restore the wallpaper.
It will be available during the weekend.

Hi Asri,

Hehehe this time I don't agree with you, for these reasons:
1. This spp supposed to manage how the icons are placed, not more. If added a function for wallpaper, next thing you know, it will become Desktop Global Theme Profille Manager (I did that already)
2. I exclude wallpaper when saving intentionally. Because it is kinda strange,when the icons changed and the wallpaper too
3. And I was thinking that if a saved wallpaper is already deleted, when set, rox will give error message

Hello trio,

I understand your point of view.
However, I have some arguments to explain the interest of safeguarding the wallpaper.
One example: at home, I use your utility to offer appropriate interfaces to different users. I have three backups: one for my son and one for my wife and one for me. Icons and wallpapers are different because our needs and aesthetic choices are different.

Desktop Global Theme Profille Manager responds to different needs and is only usable with GTK & JWM.

I modified the script to avoid errors even if the wallpaper was removed.
So I would like to submit you a version 1.8.2. You can obviously ignore it or test it.

Asri,

for you mate, I post it @main page and let people choose

Nice app! Some familiar ideas! I picked up a few tips too. And it goes nicely with my own app, which didn't create permanent historical backups of the PuppyPins (until now). I'm going to incorporate some of your efficient code to flesh out my own app.

Cheers!I

Hi stemsee - any chance of a link to your app? Is it publicly released? cheers

Hi greengeek

It's called Nicons (No Icons) for jwm. Rox is used to place the icons.
