pStartupShutdownSound 1.4-1
Hi,
We often read questions in beginners & how to sections, about how to play a sound at startup, well here's a startup sound maker, very simple and small
- menu entry under multimedia group
- default dir is /usr/share/audio
- if you want other than standard sounds, just put it in default dir
- default sound is 2barks.au
- run fixmenus & retstart window manager (refresh menus) after install
WARNING - IT IS MADE AND TESTED IN PUPPY 4.3.1 - I don't know if it is compatible with other (or older) series
No warranty whatsoever
Updated to v 1.4-1 - Modified shutdown sound so it plays until finished
Updated to v 1.4 - Added - shutdown sound
Updated to v 1.3 - Added - stop sound function
Updated to v 1.2 - warning to use only .wav & .au
Updated to v 1.1 - default dir is /usr/share/audio

I like it
free sounds here (I now have a Gregorian chant as my load sound)
http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/pir/PIRsfx.shtml
suggestions
menu /desktop is where the prog should locate
a random
and loop button (the loop button can be used with tranquil sounds)
Many thanks trio

This is good but it gives me a problem. When I add music files in .wav format to the /usr/share/audio directory, the program doesn't know they are there. Only the files in the directory when the program was first run will show up in the list of choices. Can you help?trio wrote:Anyway, it's made with a very simple basic Xdialog..not many functions can be added, for that I have to use gtkdialog (which will be bigger), so I'll let this tiny app as is.

On my Upup-476, that directory only has links to /usr/share/audio and I don't know how to easily add links??? Wouldn't it be better to use the source directory? Just asking. Please don't be offended as I like your program and I want it to work for old guys like me.trio wrote:Crafty bear,
Shouldn't the directory be /usr/share/sounds ?
Cheers

No it's Upup I have and I found the audio files in /usr/share/audio with links in /usr/share/sounds. Seems like /usr/share/audio should be the default directory for your app, trio? Can you confirm this on the puppy version that you run?trio wrote:I don't have dpup. But, you may try to search (pfind) 2barks.au for example, and see where it is, then you can put your audio file there

How do I manage the other sounds?
The Puppy which I share most with other people is one which very much looks&feels like Windows XP (much thanks to WhoDo's icewm packages and such).
Now I would like to add all the typical windows sounds. Adding the startup sound is easy thanks to this little app.
But now the rest - critical battery sound, logoff sound etc etc. It would be nice to have a simple interface to add/remove sounds to certain events similar to what XP does.
Does something like that exist or can Pstartupsond be expanded into a complete Psoundmanager?
