I need some help to get this application to function correctly.
It's lightweight and has a Gtk3 gui; newer builds require Gtk4.
It comprises of 2 parts:
The problem that I am having is that the binary iwd needs to run in terminal first then you need to click on the Menu entry
It does work regardless
I can upload the PET files if you like?
Guess, it only needs the desktop entry to be changed to facilitate this?
@Jasper,
Interesting!
I would like to get the PET packages to try. Send by PM if you are not ready to publish.
To start the daemon, put a script in /root/Startup to start it running in the background. Or put a .desktop for iwd into /root/.config/autostart.
If the GUI gets installed to /usr/bin the .desktop file should work as is, unless you see something obvious to change.

Thanks for the reply and solution.
I have sent you the files and sources.
I forgot to mention yesterday that there is no tray icon which might concern some users.
Jasper,
Thanks for the pets and other links. I tried replying to your PM but now see that you do not accept PMs. I was unaware of that possibility.
Anyway, I have installed the Pets in NoblePup64 and have searched for info on getting iwd started. I was thinking of starting it from an init script in /etc/init.d but don't see how to do it. Maybe just put what you would enter on the command line into the init script in /etc/init.d.
I think I should wait for you to ask me specific questions, rather than independently getting deep into your project.
Richard
