Startmount-0.5.5 Drive automount and program starter
can I have version 0.0.1?
Hi, this is just the thing I wanted. You have great fu.
Alas I was too late and am stuck with 0.0.2 and the splash-screen.
I always want a second drive mounted so the splash is superfluous for me.
Can you either post 0.0.1 or include a splash-screen disable in 0.0.3 please?
Isn't it nice to know you had it right the first time around.
Cheers

I had to rebuild my test PC today so just got around to testing v-0.0.2
I gave it a good testing in 214X RC2 and have to say that it's just perfect.
214X now shows the drive/partition info corrrectly and without the home drive.
It does this whatever I have set the drive icons to be on the desktop.
I really appreciate the "Previous specified drives" info.
Also that it comes with a reminder at boot-up.
Excellent work guys.
Another one you can be proud of.
Many thanks
Dave

Thanks Dave, glad it works out.
Both Mick and I downloaded 214X to test it out and to look for common ground.
vovchik,
we are addressing the issue of more partitions in version 3 and the readout in the gui. Hope you will be pleased when it comes out.
bubblopup,
That feature is in hand for ver3 too. I also want a particular drive mounting on start all the time, without the nag screen. So we intend to include a checkbutton to select nag/nonag on boot.

Hope no-one minds but if bubblopup really wants version 0.0.1 then here it is again.

Hi
Thanks sasaqqdan.
The next version will also include a fix for ntfs-3g and usb drives should mount correctly every time.

Hi everybody
So how is the latest Startmount-0.1.0 working for you?
Do you like the new gui?
Do you like the old gui?
What can we do to improve this app for you?
Our ideas are to add an entry for custom commands at startup and improve on the user interface. Would you like that?
Are there any other features you would like?
All comments are appreciated.
Thank you.
Cheers

What a great app!
Previously I had been told to hardcode the automount of a device to rc.local:
I just loaded your v 0.1.0 and it looks great!
Question: It appears to only recognize apps that were loaded by default, none of the add-on apps appear in the list, e.g. Oxygen Office or Seamonkey 2 or Gimp. Is there a way to be sure that it picks those up, please?
Note: Does it only see apps that are inside of pup_save? I tend to put as much outside of that due to past problems with personal storage space, etc.

Hi Edoc,
Default apps is a deliberate choice to be able to read easily all apps in one place as installed to a users puppy variant.
It will read the default apps in 214, 421, 431 as well as Quirky etc and list those as different, it does this on each startup of the Startmount program gui. So if the user changes the default app it changes the list.
However we are planning an entry box facility to allow users to enter apps of choice.
Half the fun is anticipating the various uses the user will put it to and to catch the write to file correctly for each use.

Sure appreciate all of your work on this! It definitely makes Puppy more user-friendly.
Will stand-by for your next updates re. non-default apps.

ok, that tells me 2 possibilities,
What should happen is that 2 of your drives should show up.
I'm guessing you are running off a usb stick?
Either that or we have a problem with reiserfs.
Which drive is puppy installed?
