Making ROX more fun: changing file associations
I'm getting there, learning more about widgets at the same time
Here is a screen shot from todays work...
added option for "run action" so a filetype can have several actions, and the command line can be set for each "run action"
This is almost looking like I'd use it
I want to also look at if mime types need to be configured like extensions... but migh leave that to a second version.

Thank you Guest Too. I was beating myself up over that one. The only thing I noticed is that it reset the default "Home" folder in rox to / instead of /home, but that is fine because there is a right click option for home directory. Even included the icon I might just have to disect that one and see what makes it tick. I almost got the template figured out.

It just works!

when you restart the rox pinboard (desktop icons) rox will consider your home dir to be whatever working dir your are in when the pinboard is started ... i forgot to cd to /root just before restarting the pinboard (the pinboard is restarted so rox will re-read the config files ... there are other ways to do this, none that seem to work really well)peppyy wrote:The only thing I noticed is that it reset the default "Home" folder in rox to / instead of /home
i add the cd instruction just after i uploaded the dotpup, but i couldn't upload a new version, because accidently i wasn't logged in when i posted it ... the first version seemed to work ok on my machine, so i thought it might be ok
since it's so small, here's the fixed version (most of the space is the icon ... and i could have used a symlink instead of including the icon in the dotpup)
anyone could make a dotpup to setup any rox Run Actions they like, with any icons they like

Thanks again. I had no problems with this one. I have set up a few other extensions and it's really just a matter of preference to fine tune things for each user and or need.
There are still some that I just haven't figured out how to seperate from the defaults like video types .asf always shows up as a text file. Is there an easy way to disassoiate it with a group so it can be opened seperately?

yes, add these lines:
to /root/Choices/MIME-info/Standard
click the Reread Files button in rox options, or restart X, or reboot
now asf files will be video files
now you can right click an asf file and set it's run action to be different to an avi file, for example
i can make a dotpup that will do it all automatically
but it's easy ... just add those 2 lines to Standard
Code: Select all
video/asf
ext: asf ASF
click the Reread Files button in rox options, or restart X, or reboot

of course, you don't have to create a new video subgroup ... you can just add asf extensions to a video group that's already there ... for example:
Code: Select all
video/x-msvideo
ext: avi AVI wmv WMV asf ASF

Jesse is it possible to have a set to defaults button that sets all the extensions to the programs in Puppy likely to run them? Are the files stored in one place? Can we call an edit from your program (leafpad seems to be emerging as the Puppy standard) of any registry type storage?Jesse wrote:I'm getting there, learning more about widgets at the same time

Will this info be available in the help incuded in the program (who can ever find readme files in Linux?)
Do I read this to mean that one may view the LA traffic cams at:GuestToo wrote:of course, you don't have to create a new video subgroup ... you can just add asf extensions to a video group that's already there ... for example:Code: Select all

you should be able to click one of the camera links
tell Mozilla or firefox or Opera to Open With ... /usr/local/bin/gxine
and it should show the traffic cam
you might need to install the Win codecs for it to work
you can also use mplayer, but i think you need the mplayer plugin to play it directly (i tried to get the mplayer plugin to work before, but i didn't get it to work quite right) ... you can download and look in the .asx file, and play the url with mplayer

I thrashed around the xinehq.de site and searched the pupget and dotpup areas and could not find a Win codec ... what am I missing, please?
Also stumbled across this on the xinehq.de site. Didn't know if it was relevant when run under Puppy.

Bug fixes again. One is significant: it stops gxine from (potentially)
eating lots of CPU time.

Ah, I've been very busy with my day job, I've uploaded most recent version of my proggie for those who have been waiting for ages... There shouldn't be too many bugs in it, I'm not aware of any, but usually that means other people will show me where they are in 2 secs flat
