Hi Radky

Thanks for this useful app. It works well

What I wanted to know is it possible for the GUI to be longer? I have tried to stretch it via the corners but it remains the same size.

The reason for this is that I am trying to access files on my PC which have a longer path name eg

/mnt/sda/Users/Me/Downloads/....etc

Hope that makes sense

@Jasper :-

If you open /usr/local/prun/prun with Geany, I believe you can increase the width on line 42:-

TREE_WIDTH="350"

That's if I'm reading Roger's code correctly! GTK-dialog is not my strong point; I much prefer YAD for ease-of-use....

@radky should be able to confirm if I'm right.

Mike.

@mikewalsh

Thank you your suggestion worked perfectly.

@Jasper :-

Ah, good, good. Wasn't entirely certain I'd got that right, but it was the only thing I could see that appeared to tie-in with the variables further down the script.

Glad you're sorted. Roger perhaps set the size to what he did because of having a smaller dimension monitor..? I know with some of the packages I published a few years back, a few folks complained about the same thing.....because I was using an old 4:3 aspect 1024 x 768 screen, so stuff got built to fit properly for ME.

Never mind; you achieved what you wanted, and that's the main thing.

Mike.

I seem to have encounter a problem using this application.

I have tried using the 3 options for terminal available. Still spits out an error message.

If I use the command via terminal it works fine. I would have liked to have used this application as I do find it useful.

Am I missing something obvious?

Jasper,

Thanks for your question.

When the "Run in Terminal" option is enabled, pRun checks if the entered executable exists in the standard executable PATH of Puppy Linux:

(/bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /root/my-applications/bin, /usr/games).

If the executable does not exist, you will see the popup dialog informing you the search item is invalid or not found.

Your search item (nzbcheck --progress -s "...563:4:$$1" -i /root/E1Amigos.nzb) is a complex multi-parameter directive which is not a PATH executable, so the search will fail.

For such cases, pRun provides a button to quickly launch a terminal window where you can enter the full multi-parameter executable string.

I hope this helps.

PS - The next release of pRun will support your request for a resizable GUI.
