version 0.4 is giving me an error

I selected all the list and I tried to update

After some time, a dialog box popped up showing that none has been selected

And, after some seconds when I closed the first box, another dialog popped up saying, all are updated

But when I checked the Hosts, I find that nothing is updated

technosaurus, sc0ttman or whoever, could you adapt the script to use yad?
I'm using Debian and wouldn't like to install gtkdialog or xdialog since they're considered deprecated.

Yad pet is here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58306
for my version all you need to do is have yad output to stdout any combination of ...
1 2 3 4 5

and place it into
`Xdialog ... ...`

zenity/yad break compatibility with the standard dialog formats that dialog, cdialog, xdialog, whiptail and kdialog all basically share in common ... so it would need to be recoded ... but you can always use the dialog version from a terminal (just get rid of the checking for DISPLAY and set DIALOG to dialog)

Thank you technosaurus, that's even better (using just the terminal). I don't know bash (or whatever scripting language). I left it like this:

sc0ttman,
You have not full applied my fixes.

The problem is that a line like this can break things:

cat /etc/hosts /tmp/adlist{1,2,3,4} |grep ^[1-9] |sed '/^$/d' |sed "s/\t/ /g"|sed '/^#/d' |sed 's/ / /g' |dos2unix -u |sort |uniq > /etc/hosts

You need to do it like this:

ETCHOSTS="`cat /etc/hosts /tmp/adlist{1,2,3,4} |grep ^[1-9] |sed '/^$/d' |sed "s/\t/ /g"|sed '/^#/d' |sed 's/ / /g' |dos2unix -u |sort |uniq`"
echo "$ETCHOSTS" > /etc/hosts

[technosaurus]

sorry, that was my bad - you can't (or at least shouldn't) pipe a file back to itself (possible endless loop) - ... switched to using an original backup instead - fix posted below original code

Dear scottman et al.,

Here is a nice logo for the gtkdialog script that you might consider using

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. Thanks for the app.

I am not a designer or anything and I am not sure if modifying an icon is pirating

I am impressed with both these icons of Adblock and AdThwart

You must think about making a logo similar in nature, like red color because the color red has become to symbolize ad-blocking for some time

If it is not pirating, then modifying these icons with Puppy logo can do good.

[sc0ttman]

Nice icons, good stuff... Barry K also made one, which is in Woof, I wonder what that looks like..
Would need them all to compare..

Also, is 0.5 working for everyone?

I'm not entirely sure I fixed it right, although as I said earlier, it seems to always work in 4.2
