(SP1) Fix for drive icon renaming

October 18, 2008 — BarryK

Forum member 'davesurrey' reported that when a desktop drive icon was renamed, say "sda1" to "flash", then a second icon with "sda1" title appeared. Rerwin looked in /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d, which is the daemon that manages the desktop icons, and modified 'ppPATTERN':

add_pinboard_func() { #needs ONEDRVNAME, DRV_CATEGORY, FSTYPE

 #ppPATTERN=' label="'"$ONEDRVNAME"'"'

 #v411 rerwin: avoid icon getting duplicated if it is renamed...

 ppPATTERN="/root/.pup_event/drive_${ONEDRVNAME}<"

 [ "`grep "$ppPATTERN" /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin`" != "" ] && return #precaution.

 echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>

<env:Envelope xmlns:env=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope\">

 <env:Body xmlns=\"http://rox.sourceforge.net/SOAP/ROX-Filer\">

  <PinboardAdd>

   <Path>/root/.pup_event/drive_${ONEDRVNAME}</Path>

   <X>${COORD_X}</X>

   <Y>${COORD_Y}</Y>

   <Label>${ONEDRVNAME}</Label>

   <Args>${DRV_CATEGORY} ${FSTYPE}</Args>

  </PinboardAdd>

 </env:Body>

</env:Envelope>"  | rox -R

}

The only slight modification I made to rerwin's fix was to put "<" on the end of ppPATTERN, so as to distinguish between something like "sda1" and "sda10".
