pWidgets 2.5.8

[Béèm]

I also made some improvements to the cpu_bar widget. For some reason it wasn't working correctly with multi core processors. I don't know what happened there but this version I think is ok.

Cheers

Thank you Mick,
I have indeed one bar now for my single processor.

there's an oversight in the new weather plugin.

Acuweather RSS site's weather code has spaces for cities that have 2 words in their name, for example Gold Coast. It's an easy fix, but I should not have missed that one!

Code: Select all

#fix weather code if it has a space 2011-02-06
	WEATHER_CODE_NEW=`echo "$WEATHER_CODE_NEW"|sed -e 's/ /%20/g'`

Patch is attached (for both Weather and Weather2)

Argolance has extended ionic.ttf with more chars. It is bigger than the one in the pet, so I have attached it to the main post as an alternative.

Hi.
It's my first time to use your program.Everything was fine unless calendar.
I use bulgarian localisation and can't see days .If use english localisation there is no problem.

[zigbert]

The best offer I can give right now is to edit line 5 in /usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/scripts/Calendar

Code: Select all

CAL=`cal`

to

Code: Select all

LANG=C CAL=`cal`

which gives english output instead of bulgarian for the calendar heading

Thanks for your help.
I don't know if this can help ,but in Lighthouse with pwigets version-2.3.0 i got this result.
Greetings.

I use bulgarian localisation and can't see days .If use english localisation there is no problem.

It looks like it might be a font issue. Maybe LightHousePup uses a different font? You need Cyrillic letters which might not be included in the font used by default. (Zigbert will have to tell you about the font and how to change it...)

The other option is that you need the locale file for "cal" -- you can look in LightHouse in the directory /usr/share/locale/bu/ for a file named cal.[?] ("bu" is the Bulgarian locale, right?)

[zigbert]

Dougal is right (yet another time), Pwidgets uses a small font that doesn't include too many chars. - Monofonto (/usr/share/fonts/default/TTF/monofont). To change font for all widgets it would probably be easy to replace the default font with a link to another one. All fonts are controlled by the widget config script. /usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/config/.

I think pwidgets should stick with Monofonto..... because at this moment, no widgets supports translation, and I see no reason for a bulgarian calendar when the other widgets still is english.

Pwidgets has recently been available on FATDOG. The only issue I seen is the items in the picture which relate to disk/FS.

Edited: The system has a HDD with several partitions and a USB attached as well. But, only 3 partitions are mounted. The system was booted LiveCD with pfix=ram.

Can someone suggest a reason why those 4 pwidget entries are not posting to the desktop?

• Drive_space
• Space_... (3 items)

Thanks in advance
PS. I had the same issue running Pwidgets on couple other PUPs. Thx

Hello, zigbert !

Sorry to admit, I haven't been widgeting much as of lately.
I just took the new lupu525 for a test-run today and thought I'd also try the pwidgets (v. 2.3.1 through quickpet) out.
Tried the (very) few widgets I was responsible for, and saw that the EUR_USD exchange rate widget was broken (not a serious matter at all, I presume, since that widget was only made as a rapid response to a user request - don't know if anyone has been using it, or how long it has been broken).

Anyway, since I noticed it was broken, I fixed it and also took the opportunity to attempt to localise the decimal comma/decimal dot.
I'll attach the two files with names ending in the directories they should go in to + fake .zip extensions to fool the forum software ......

Hei Zigbert
Upon being stopped, Pwidgets screws with my desktop background (i.e. sets the default one). Do not want.
(Puppy: Wary511)

Also, could you make it not use the HDD "all the time"..
I for one prefer my HDD spun-down when it isn't needed for a good-enough reason. (This applies to HDD frugal or full installs, I guess.)
Well, I'm sure more people would appreciate less disk activity when not necessary.

Great app otherwise, takk!
