GtkDialog - tips
Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone had the code for the audio player that was at http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/zigbert/gtkd ... yer.tar.gz.
I've searched for it but no luck, I'm in need of some simple audio player code with all the controls for a project that I'm working on.
thanks.
Geoffrey

I have uploaded the widgets to http://www.meownplanet.net, but I could not find the tail-box...... I made a new one based on the code in Pburn

audioplayer widget is available, but this is very old code, so you probably find more tricks if you look into /usr/local/pmusic/func_playerGeoffrey wrote:Hi everybody,

Hi
I use various emulators that don't include a GUI. In the past I developed a front-end + trainer for visualboyadvance-1.7.2 using REALbasic but I want to liberate my code from this proprietary language (good though it is) and create a universal emulator front-end instead.
I fiddled with Gtkdialog using the excellent information within this thread and started to assemble a prototype, but displaying a screenshot of the selected game/ROM is a requirement and pixmap doesn't refresh, so instead of ditching this wonderfully rapid RAD tool I downloaded gtkdialog-0.7.20 and added the pixmap refresh code.
[EDIT] 20110618-22:01 Gtkdialog is now in a repository (see this post).
Gtkdialog is a popular tool but the original developer appears to have abandoned it, so why doesn't somebody create a new Gtkdialog2 Sourceforge project, import gtkdialog-0.7.20 into SVN and invite everybody to add their patches? Additionally the project can include a wiki to properly document it; just a thought.
Regards,
Thunor

Yes, we should do that. But not sourceforge - it always seems to be slow and unreliable for me.
What does anyone else think?
I have a project on google code and I think it is faster and more reliable. But it is also rather stupid in some ways...

I looked at Google Project Hosting and it appears to tick the necessary boxes. It supports a wiki which would certainly make maintaining the documentation easier and more fun.
I sent the Gtkdialog author an email and he stated that he doesn't have time for the project anymore but would be happy for development to continue, so you can register "gtkdialog" as the project name

Yes, but do you have any feedback on what they are like to use.abushcrafter wrote:http://savannah.gnu.org/disciple wrote:What does anyone else think?

e.g. Sourceforge seems to be slow and unreliable (for me).
Google code is not... but they seem to lack attention to detail. There is a list of little bugs as long as your arm.
e.g. you can't save the "source" settings page without entering a path for branches (which IIRC means that your repository must already include the folder to enter the path to... but what if you don't want branches?), and if you don't save the "source" settings page then it displays the wrong url for users to checkout the code... and IIRC it doesn't even tell you that the page did not save, and why. Perhaps that is why projects often display the wrong url
Also, presumably people would be happy with svn, rather than something more advanced like Git? Personally I think svn will be fine, as I doubt there will be a huge amount of activity.

Hehe.. I made a clunky wall setter with preview awhile ago.. it's tiny, ugly and clunky but it works. Maybe with this newfound functionality we could have a nice wallpaper setter with all the features from Nathan's plus preview...

I've been playing some more and I've found a bug in gtkdialog-0.7.20 which causes a segfault if a declared pixmap doesn't physically exist. This segfault doesn't happen in gtkdialog3 but since a pointer to a null string should be being returned when nothing is being returned, it could simply be luck.
[EDIT] 20110618-22:01 Gtkdialog is now in a repository (see this post).
find_pixmap is the function that calls locate which causes the "sh: locate: command not found" command-line message. The problem with this function is that for me -- if I declare a non-existent image file -- I am falling through the bottom of it and there's a missing return ""; which happens to be very important. If you add this to the bottom of the function then it doesn't segfault. Additionally I've noticed that a gtk stock broken image icon now appears which either I haven't noticed before or is a consequence of my new code.

Might as well get rid of all that locate crap... Puppy doesn't use it.thunor wrote:find_pixmap is the function that calls locate which causes the "sh: locate: command not found" command-line message.

I agree. find_pixmap is called from src/automaton.c in two places and simply tests that the file can be read, if not attempts to open it in /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/16x16/stock/, if not tries locate before finally returning "".Dougal wrote:Might as well get rid of all that locate crap...

Here's some code to refresh button pixmaps:
[EDIT] 20110618-22:01 Gtkdialog is now in a repository (see this post).
Added button widget image refresh code
The widget reference is available here.
[EDIT] You guys are the experts on using gtkdialog, but I'll give an example of what you can do with this
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# NOTE: This example requires at least gtkdialog-0.7.21 (please visit
# http://code.google.com/p/gtkdialog/). Additionally if you are using
# Puppy Linux then you may find that an historical version of gtkdialog
# already exists in /usr/sbin, and if that is the case then you should
# modify the shell variable below to point to the new gtkdialog binary.
GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog
function funcImageToggle() {
if [ $(< TOGGLE) = 1 ]; then
ln -sf no.png toggle.png
echo 0 > TOGGLE
else
ln -sf yes.png toggle.png
echo 1 > TOGGLE
fi
}
export -f funcImageToggle
if [ ! -f TOGGLE ]; then echo 0 > TOGGLE; funcImageToggle; fi

Two things.
1st, has anyone compiled gtkdialog3 with the additions and is it available as a PET.
2nd, I noticed that in looking at the Puszcsa site that there is a member named "gray".
Any chance that he is the same "gray" that is shown as a member here?
I sent our gray an email and got an email stating it was undeliverable as the person did not exist.

I do not know if I got it all included, but I am attaching a revised gtkdialog that I temporarily named "gtkdialog4"
It should have all the patches from Moose*, thunor, and patriot.
I could not get the checkmark png images for yes and no found and as a result, the one example does not work for me.
To try it with a script, just rename the call from gtkdialog to gtkdialog4.
And good luck!
