Monitor Gamma Calibration fixed

Forum member bigpup reported that this utility, in the X GUI version of the Xorg Wizard, which is script /usr/sbin/xgamma-gui, is broken in Precise Puppy. Bigpup reported that it does work in Lucid Puppy.

This script is actually in Woof, it is not a separate PET.

Various people have worked on this script. I found that both the latest in Woof, and the one in Lucid, are broken.
The one in Lucid is the best. It was worked on by Forum member EW in 2010. So, I used this as the basis.

I fixed a couple of bugs, and internationalized it. The script can be found in the Woof commit.

Actually I worked on this script and reported it to you (together with broken bc) in wary 1.02 bug thread http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62891 Here is a description what I did (logarithmic scaling of gamma values), the bash code alone might seem a bit opaque. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59590&start=135 Emil Widmann

"emil (EW), Yes, the algorithms worked out by you are great. The script in Woof was worked on by L18L, including transform algorithms and internationalization, but as I have recently discovered when comparing them, your implementation is very good. The things that I "fixed" in your version were elsewhere, some logic in the program flow. Then, I applied the internationalization, similar to what L18L had done.

"L18L, thanks for the fix.

"Sorry for my fuzzy fix above. Hope you did not blindly apply it. The [b]second line[/b] has to be, of course: [code]sed -i 's/--cancel-label "Exit"/--cancel-label "$(gettext \"Exit\")"/' /usr/sbin/xgamma-gui [/code] That was cancel-label and not ok-label.

"German translation looks very nice backtitle is centered but length is limited (I have duplicated 2nd phrase of backtitle, but it is not displayed in full length) [code]msgid "" "The spinboxes are adjustable in the range -100 to +100, where -100 is " "darkest, 0 is default, and +100 is brightest." msgstr "" "Die Drehfelder sind im Bereich -100 bis +100 einstellbar, wobei -100 am " "dunkelsten ist, 0 normal ist und +100 am hellsten ist." "Die Drehfelder sind im Bereich -100 bis +100 einstellbar, wobei -100 am " "dunkelsten ist, 0 normal ist und +100 am hellsten ist."[/code] So russian text should be made shorter (as usual) ?
