Xdialog Yes/No buttons bug

March 29, 2012 — BarryK
L18L discovered this. The documentation for Xdialog states that the "--yesno" window will display buttons labeled "Yes" and "No". The proof is here:
http://xdialog.free.fr/doc/box.html

Perhaps this did work correctly with an earlier version of Xdialog? Anyway, now it doesn't, and the buttons display as "OK" and "Cancel".

This is where L18L reported the problem:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76182&start=105

I have fixed a bunch of scripts in /usr/sbin in Woof, haven't checked anywhere else.

These are gettext'ed scripts that will need to be updated:
alsaconf, burniso2cd, cups_shell, modemtest, pupdial, puppyinstaller, puppypdf, remove_builtin

I didn't notice this one before. It was created by 01micko I think, and had t12s internationalization. I have converted it to gettext:
nouveau_unload

These are not internationalized:
Pudd, remasterpup2, xgamma-gui

sdialog
Username: technosaurus
I have started working on a simple dialog tool that's functionality falls in between the bare metal of gtk-server and the xml-ness of gtkdialog, yet with the simplicity of traditional dialog tools. The formatting capabilities are on par with gtkdialog (multiple widgets, box-packing etc...) but with syntax closer to that of {,c,X}dialog and yad. I know there are already a ton of them out there, but none of them are both simple and extensible. Let me know if you have a wish list and I will try to accomodate in the gtk2 version at least (I am planning to support multiple backends, including gtk1,2,3, followed by libagar since it is the only decent bsd licensed widget toolkit I can find written in C). While I was at it I threw together a generic trayicon tool as a separate program because it was just to easy to push out once I figured out the widget. It supports as many icons as your tray will fit, and they can change on the fly with configurable refresh rate, tooltips and left/right mouse click actions. (Yes, this means you can have all of your tray icons supplied by one program and controlled by a single shell script) http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76431 the tarball containing source build script and binary is only 2.8kb, so it won't break the bank either

Re Sdialog
Username: BarryK
"technosaurus, Yes, there are heaps of them out there, including my own recent efforts 'pupdialog' and 'pupmessage' -- but mine are only shell script pre-processors for gtkdialog, so not the most efficient. A better replacement for xmessage would be nice, that really does work like xmessage (except uses GTK). Would it be possible for Sdialog to also be able to handle the xmessage commandline syntax? My pupmessage does the basics of xmessage, see: http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/artifact/3f119e03fa1850c687f4056e33f1c57be8242d28 ...handling of the '-buttons' parameter would make it much more useful. maybe Sdialog could be kind of chameleon-like, detecting what commandline-syntax is being used, say xmessage, Xdialog, (etc.) and use that automatically. Note, I have JWM configured to display xmessage windows without window decorations, and for consistency pupmessage also displays without decorations -- the '-title' actually displays a bold "backtitle" message within the window.

Re sit
Username: BarryK
"technosaurus, Your 'simple icon tray' is extremely interesting! Perhaps it could be used to get Puppy free of our dependency on ROX-Filer. The desktop drive icons, trash, etc. could all go into sit. Then, we would be able to use any file manager. I don't know how we would handle those PCs that have a lot of drive partitions -- some people have more than a dozen. Currently, they expand onto a second line above the first.

re: lots of partitions
Username: maxerro
"There should be a choice for users if they want all of the partitions to show-up in tray as separate icons (if the number is low) OR just the physical drives with partition-submenus (which appears to be more logical) OR just a single mount-tray-icon with customizable drive/partition menu layouts (flat or submenus)... I have lots of partitions, and actually find it easiest to type a command (through customized scripts), but users should have an easier choice.

Re: sit/sdialog
Username: technosaurus
"re: sit Tray apps _really_ only need to do the things I have sit set up to do. Namely display an icon (with optional tooltip) and allow interaction via right/left mouse click (This stuff can and should be done externally using a gtkdialog script for instance). The only thing I may add is some validity checks and although it is fairly light on memory, the cpu usage could be lower if I figure out how to compare the time stamp on the file before refreshing the image (it may not be necessary to redraw, but currently it does anyhow). re: sdialog I already have buttons, labels, and quite a few widgets working ... the only difference is that a few extra tags are needed -button "label1" "action" -button "label2" "action" ... instead of -buttons label1:action,label2:action The reason for this is that often you would want [button] <image> text [button] <image> text However it wouldn't be too difficult to implement, so I may end up adding those and c/Xdialog and zenity/yad syntax support (as compile time options) and in the mean time keep them as a separate package by fixing gxmessage - is there a reason it is a symlink to xmessage? For xmessage I would need to implement: -default "action" (just monitor for keypress event) -timeout <int> (already implemented in gtk - just use gtk_main_quit) -print (currently this is the default option - scripts could wait for OK/Cancel before processing if they want/need - the idea is to establish a two way pipe for direct interaction) -file /path/file (open(), scanf(), close()) -center/-nearmouse (not sure, but should be easy to pick it out of another program)
