Xarchive internationalised

May 16, 2012 — BarryK
I announced support for .rar archive files in Puppy, and we were discussing Xarchive. L18L had reported that the C source is not internationalised, and rodin.s took up the challenge and did it:
http://bkhome.org/archive/blog2/201205/woof-support-rar-archives.html

Thanks very much! I have compiled the new internationalised Xarchive in Wary and uploaded the PET to the 'common' repo (38KB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/xarchive-0.2.8.6.i18n-w5c.pet

Note, I have not yet updated the ARM PET.

I uploaded the new source to my sources repo (xarchive-0.2.8-6-i18n.tar.gz):
http://bkhome.org/sources/alphabetical/x/

For the convenience of creating translations with MoManager, I have placed the 'xarchive.pot' file into Woof, in rootfs-skeleton/usr/share/doc/nls/xarchive -- MoManager will automatically read this and offer it to be translated.

Woof commit:

I just remembered something. L18L and rodin.s, if you read this, kindly let me know: I think that you guys i18n'ed a couple of the tray apps?
I still have the non-translated versions in the 'common' PET repo. Would you mind posting the links to where you did this work? I will update those also.

Automount a USB flash drive
Username: charlie6
"Hi Barry, (here tested on Dpup-Exprimo 5X.3.2.14 fresh pristine session): automount now works using the later drive_all script. Now clicking on a drive icon does not longer open Rox. It starts Pmount instead. Rather slower especially on this exprimo which scans all the partition (ca. 1-2 sec./partition) before displaying the Pmount box. Only then the partiton may be (un)mounted and rox-opened. If back to /Menu/System/PupEventManager/iconHandler and uncheck the automount box + restart X, then all get back as before installing the new drive_all. Is there another PupEventSetting to get also rox to open upon mouse-click on a drive icon? Cheers ! Charlie

"charlie6, I have just tested it, it works correctly. I am running Racy 5.3, with the latest drive_all. With automount enabled, I plug in a usb flash drive and it automatically mounts and ROX-Filer window opens. If I then click on the partition icon, another ROX window opens. I do not get Pmount running. Did you use the latest drive_all script that I uploaded? I reported a syntax error a day or so ago, see the appropriate blog thread.

"Hi Barry, Ooops...!I indeed was using the wrong version. I promise not to do it again ...;-) Thanks again! Charlie
