Just a suggestion:

Did you consider using a lower screen resolution while keeping the size of your work area.

About Screen Panning: viewtopic.php?p=6373#p6373

HerrBert

Sounds quite possible...

At least yesterday i had the reply page open and minimized while editing and
testing one of the scripts i attached and taking a screenshot.

@greengeek
Forgot to mention how to use the gui. Sorry.
If you start with a new file, all entries are empty.
To get basic values click mtPaint. This creates a preview of zoom areas and auto fills the most important entries.
(also added instruction to my previous post)

Today i got logged out while typing a reply and adding an attachement.
This already happend a while ago, when i tried to reply with a quote.

Is there something i can do to prevent beeing logged out while typing or is it a bug in the forum software?

The script in the first post has no gui.
I've written a very basic yad gui for personal use. Works with a modified version of the main script.

To change the names for desktops you can edit /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal
from

<Desktops width="3" height="1"/>

to

<Desktops width="3" height="1">
<Desktop name="Desktop 1"/>
<Desktop name="Desktop 2"/>

Unfortunately, I was too happy too soon.

I have been using a modified function to get CTRL key when dropping files onto a ROX Application directory, so i can copy files into it or just let it open them.
Last week i got a new keyboard and the function stopped working :(
So i had to do ...

Hello all im trying to achive some but for some stupid reason i don't get it what im doing wrong maybe some geek in bash can explain it for me
Thxx in advance

So my issue is

export SCRIPT_PATH="$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))"
export a="\\\[Desktop Entry\\\]"

By me? There used to be a related thread in the Murga forum (https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=108481) ...

Whatever the trigger for your script was, I use a similar script which pops up a gtkdialog calendar when clicking the JWM clock. It's based on the same idea of formatting ...

As i said, it's just to give an impression of what can be done...
Comments and references are in German. Image is only for the window icon of urxvt.

Be prepared for crazy s**t!
I have written a bash script using urxvt and cal command to display three different kinds of event, based on code by MochiMoppel
ATM i don't have the time to explain, but to give an impression of what can be done please see screenshot and code below:

HerrBert

I may be wrong, but the screenshot in the first post looks like the gtk3 filechooser.

In s15pup64, i can change the window size for min browser running as spot using gsettings:
run-as-spot gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser window-size '(824, 622)'

HerrBert

...
Can you confirm, or will this be a case of "suck it and see"? :)

Mike. ;)

At least for window shading i can confirm that mouse binding works here on S15Pup64.
TBH, i am one of those who never liked the scroll_workspace_onroot_thing in older jwm versions ;)

So yes, it is a case of trial ...

HerrBert

@mikewalsh As far as i know, the config for JWM changed.

Mouse actions are configured using Mouse tags.

See: https://github.com/joewing/jwm/blob/mas ... mple.jwmrc

If you scroll down to line 198, there is an example config for scrolling thru workspaces.

HerrBert

Just to sort things out:
Neither pcputemp nor pmcputemp or poorercputemp are 'swallowed' in JWM tray. They are running in the dock area.
I did a search on swallowed apps with only few results. xload is swallowed on most puppies by default. Tried some other x-apps, that will also be swallowed ...

HerrBert

@HerrBert :-

Hah. Well, that's good to know......although I'm not sure as you'd be able to change pmcputemp's icons. Didn't Micko build everything into a binary?

Mike. ;)

Yes. you are right. pcputemp has its icon(s) hardcoded. Option is to use d ark or l ight 'theme'
[edit] changed pmcputemp ...

HerrBert

@mikewalsh
" Anything in the 'notification' area - over to the right, near the clock - those are all covered by ROX's 'swallow' function, which I've never really understood.....and I don't think you CAN change THOSE particular icons "

Those are the ugly ones Mike! I'm going to forget them and ...

You still need to click something to shutdown though, right?
...

Not necessarily... If you use crond or automatic power off from eventmanager you don't click anything,
but the script in /etc/init.d will run anyway.

HerrBert

I have put an executable script in /etc/init.d that will do some cleanup on shutdown.
Works for me in PUPMODE=5, but i can't say if it interferes with shutdownconfig.
To execute only when shutting down it needs an additional test at the beginning:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
[[ $1 != stop ]] && exit

HerrBert

IIRC, to use keyboard shortcuts in ROX-Filer you have to enable it in gtk configuration:

HerrBert

Looks like a typo in your config
KERNEL_CMDLINE=psubdir=/SlakoPup pmedia=atahd definitely looks wrong to me
According to your screenshot it should read SlackoPup with c

HerrBert

Assuming xterm is a script that runs urxvt, your commandline will look different:

Code: Select all

urxvt -title "Connecting to windscribe..." -e sh -c "windscribe connect Seattle; sleep 10; windscribe status; read -p \"FINISHED. PRESS ENTER KEY TO CLOSE THIS WINDOW\""

Copying large files in Rox file manager, may appear complete when it is not.

This is an issue with very large files and slow media (older hard drives, USB drives, etc....)

Rox file manager does copying in a two step process.

1. The copy is first written to RAM.

2. From RAM then written to the ...

From what i recall, in s15pup64 only function buttons are gettexted if trays are edited using /usr/local/jwm_config/tray
The program buttons are not gettexted and do not take translations of .desktop files into account.
You have to edit the jwmrc-tray files and translate the popups ...

Looks like your new layer is an empty image...

Let's start over again:

Open your image in mtPaint

Select your image either by pressing CTRL+a or from menu Selection -> Select all

Copy selection into clipboard either by pressing CTRL+c or from menu Edit -> Copy

Create a new layer from menu ...

HerrBert

Are you serious :shock:

Seems it gets beyond basic knowledge at this point.

I used an svg file for my example. Loaded in mtpaint it has an alpha channel for transparency, so there are no red shapes after rotating...

What you can try to do is adding an alpha channel to the new layer to 'hide ...
