Unfurtunately, this means that the property name used to find the running ROX-Filer no longer matches. I'd like to suggest that remote.c should not use our_host_name() to build the unique_id if /etc/machine-id or /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is present. The contents of those files should be used in preference to the hostname(). Thoughts? </pre> Christopher Oliver 2012-04-02T04:50:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.rox.devel/10261 <pre>I run ROX-Filer 2.11 under Slackware 13.37 with fbpanel and PekWM, the supplied GTK+ is version 2.24, and I'm starting my session from GDM or XDM depending on whether the box is Salix or vanilla Slackware. Occasionally ROX-Filer seems to be ignoring SOAP RPC requests. I've run into this with rox -D and rox -x. The difficulty in diagnosing is that if I quit the filer and restart it, the problem vanishes; the new ROX-Filer responds to the requests just fine. I suspect a race of some sort during startup, but I'm unsure what that could be between. Ideas? </pre> Christopher Oliver 2012-03-28T15:21:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.rox.devel/10257 <pre>Hello there, I had a very hard time trying to figure out what I was expected to write to get a RPC command to actually set my wallpaper in a given mode. Of course my first instinct was to look at the config file to find a hint, as I could perfectly set it with rox' utility. I was very surprised to find that what was called Centred in one was Centre in the other one, and that's the same for others, though there doesn't seem to be any generality here. As I still could manage to get the 'Fit' mode to work (even after having commited atrocities like 'Fitted' or such), I proceeded to read the source code. This is when I was flabbergasted to discover that Fit mode wasn't even possible to set with a RPC command because its line had obviously been forgotten. I promised I searched a long time on the forum but I couldn't find any topic mentioning that. Plus, it's not really a feature request or a bug report, it's just a tiny mistake that takes no time to correct so I really think it would've been corrected at once</pre> Greygjhart 2012-03-16T12:55:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.rox.devel/10252 <pre>Probably this email needs attention by Thomas Leonard, thanks. I originally reported an icon focus problem, that Thomas fixed, see patch from Thomas: http://repo.or.cz/w/rox-filer.git/commit/c2232d5075342347a8ff814ced5ce8b9e1cf64b9 ...which did fix the problem, partly. However, even that fix no longer works. It may be because Puppy Linux has progressed to GTK 2.24.8. Back then, I think we were using GTK 2.18.x or 2.21.x. Back then, after applying Thomas's patch, I found that there was still a problem, that I reported: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&amp;aid=3147977&amp;group_id=7023&amp;atid=107023 Note, not many ROX-Filer users are reporting this problem, as some binary package maintainers, Debian included I think, also some releases of Puppy Linux, have put in a work-around. If this is put into /etc/profile: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true ...this does fix it, however, I have had reports that this is a hack that can upset some applications, can even upset ROX-Filer, cause a crash.

But the entire page is devoted to Python, and the examples are started with invocations of the type: "import findrox", "import rox" and so on.

Thanks, </pre> Michel Alexandre Salim 2011-03-18T15:46:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.rox.devel/10222 <pre> Hello, Here is a patch to change the behaviour of the newer and quiet options when copying files. Currently, when copying files to an existing directory, you get prompted to confirm the copy for every existing file even if newer or quiet is selected. This might not be expected by the user - there needs to be a way of forcing overwrites on a large number of existing files without prompting, and quiet would be assumed to do that. This patch changes the behaviour to: 1. If Newer is selected then only attempt to copy newer files over existing files; if quiet is NOT selected, still ask for confirmation before copy 2. If Quiet is selected, don't ask for any confirmation under any circumstances. This fixes the 'bug' reported in the user mail list: Copy options not working properly Kind Regards, Rod. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and</pre> Rodney Padgett 2011-03-14T21:19:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.rox.devel/10221 <pre>My pinboard is populated by several application directories. I normally assign them an icon (in a shell script) by making .DirIcon a symbolic link to an SVG icon. This works fine in most cases, but with some SVG icons it doesn't. The pinboard then keeps showing the default ROX icon, and behaves as if there were no .DirIcon. The problem is not that ROX can't display it; if I enter the directory with Shift-Click, the image is shown correctly. OTOH, if I set the icon manually ("Set Icon"/"Copy image into directory"), it seems to work at first, as the icon shows up properly on the pinboard. But it turns out that the SVG icon has not just been copied (as the manual says), but _converted_ to a different format, namely a 96x96 PNG image. I noticed this behaviour only with rather big SVG files (about 600K), so it may depend on file size. Anyway, if it's a bug, it would be nice if somebody could look into it. If it's a feature, it's an annoying one (IMHO), as it creates inconsistent behaviour.

It'd be nice if folders containing background images (such as /usr/share/backgrounds) could be added by the simple act of dragging and dropping them onto the Wallpaper ui. It'd also be handy if Wallpaper was able to handle tiling, scaling and resizing automatically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.

Writing some scripts I noticed, that it would be convenient to have possibility to run scripts on mouseclick (and such scripts are usually marked as executable) using appropriate shell for chosen scripting language, while still keeping also convenient option to edit with favourite editor "on mouseclick" the ones, that - for example - weren't designed to be run as standalone toys, but are "includes", or modules (and so on... readed by the former "executables") - or just any others NOT created to be a "main module". Of course, such possibility can be used for having more diversion in "default action" with other file types, than scripts: e.g. one can mark GIF-s as "executable" to edit them using GIMP on mouseclick - while the others will be sent to viewer... and so on. What do you think?

After this operation is completed, the destination filer window is closed. This happens roughly on 60% of tries.
