Thank you Jakfish of the report. Good to know. And thank you of your extensive testing and work for improving the distro. As you and all the other. My distro evolves based on requests, fixes, suggestions and hacks by the users.
That makes this woof building satisfactory...and the fact that Dpup works as my main OS.

This should make Jim1911 happy. Openbibleviewer-0.7.0.
It needs qt4-libs, for example basic and clucene.

I have tested now PupShutdown-timeout-20120404.pet. It seems that from script /etc/acpi/actions/acpi_poweroff.sh the part: && P="/usr/local/PupShutdown/PupShutdown $TIMELIMIT"
does not carry the TIMELIMIT value to the modified script: /usr/local/PupShutdown/PupShutdown.

Right. Was missing:
Code:
TIMEOUT=$1   # 5Apr2012 shinobar: timeout# 5Apr2012 shinobar: timeout
...
TIMEOUT=$(echo $TIMEOUT| tr -dc '0-9-')
[ "$TIMEOUT" ] || TIMEOUT=0

But 60s may be too short. Better to be 120s?
Anyway it would be nice if the time limit is shown on the dialog... Wink

Now the PupShutdown works perfect. I can include the modified scripts to the next version.
About information of the shutdown timelimit default in PupShutdown would be great. It would be Dpup Exprimo speciality atm...but maybe Radky would be interested to think about it.... Very Happy

Or if there would be the default timelimit shown when you press the shutdown button. Which ever way...it would be good to have.....

Oh yeah...the wmpoweroff, wmexit and wmreboot needs killall enlightenment row. It might be that I have missed them in some of the scripts during the updates but now I noticed the need and remind of it :
snippet.....
Code:

PSPEFD="`ps -C pup_event_frontend_d | grep 'pup_event_front' | grep -v 'defunct'`"
done
sleep 0.2

killall enlightenment

sync

Jim, try modifying /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser to the following:
Code:

#!/bin/sh
yaf-splash -bg red -fg white -placement center -timeout 2 -text "loading.." &
killall firefox 2> /dev/null
sleep 0.3
exec /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox "$@"


And then create an icon entry for defaultbrowser, or just type it in the terminal.


Tman thanks for the help. on this startup of ff and closing problem is gone.
this has happened in the past with other pups but don't recall why occurred.
will keep your fix saved away.


Tman
after some time without the problem today it returned and applying your fix it worked!

any idea why this happens?
thanks again for the fix.

Playdayz first announced Lucid Puppy way to get application help button to work for Abiword...
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77295

Then Jemimah showed the way to patch glib. And 01micko confirmed it works. So I gave it a try.
I am not sure if it would have needed special ./configure. I just configured it with ./configure --prefix=/usr
If it needs puppy spesific options....I recompile it. But here it is for testing.

What you get. Working Help > Help Contents to some applications more. I tested that Abiword Help started to work.
I dont care much of working Help inside the app.

But...Now the applications File > Open File shows the mounted drives in the panel and that is nice addition.

Test this glib first with pfix=ram or with dedicated save file. I havent tested this yet long.... and my configure might need more tuning.

PupShutdown with Powerbutton popup and separate external 4s popup how long it takes before autoshut down starts. Looks great.

Thank you Radky and thank you Shinobar for the initiative. Happy Eastern.

I gave a go for Rox right click pics scaling and autoadjusting contrast-color-gamma.
The pet gives you scale to 640-800-1024-autoadjust Rox right clicks for jpeg, png and bmp.
You can select several pics and mass scale them. The scaled and autoadjusted pics are stored in /root-my-documents/images...under separate subfolders.
Scale to 640...800...1024 uses quality compression 90 % and autoadjust 100% quality.
I compiled aaphoto to do the real work.

The base of this pet is from this thread. I have reconfigured and renamed the stuff...but the basic idea came from that thread. Thank you Smokey01 and Jrb.

http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=584982&sid=41951aa720b1640defe6d09aa137db99

You get also aaphoto commandline tool. I liked that easy autoadjusting feature with Rox right click.
Quote:
Auto Adjust Photo tries to give a solution for the automatic color correction of photos. This means setting the contrast, color balance, saturation and gamma levels of the image by analization.

http://log69.com/aaphoto_en.html

Yep...I know there is pics2cale by Vovchick and scale2jpg by rcrsn51. So why did you bring up this third opportunity ?
Because I had it in Snow Puppy and I used aaphoto in it and I thought those previous useful Rox right clicks should not be abandoned. So I compiled latest aaphoto and recreated the Rox right click framework and added autoadjust feature which does not loose the pic quality. So you can first autoadjust and then scale if there is need...or use aaphoto from commandline...or install pics2scale or scale2jpg.

Or install this pet and use it.

Hi Jim,

You're not doing anything wrong...it's a Firefox issue and it is not limited to just Firefox in linux. My work computer has Firefox11 in Windows XP and when I close Firefox and try to reopen it again immediately, I get a pop-up that says Firefox didn't close properly. It appears to me that the main reason is that Firefox is taking its sweet time unloading things after you close it.

Sorry for the slow response, I have not been on this forum as much lately. Too much work Sad ... and I've been trying out other distros as well.

I have had zero problems with Firefox...which does not exclude Exprimo level problem. But atm...I dont know. None other so far has posted about your kind problem with Firefox. I havent had ever need to kill firefox process.

Edit. Saw above post just know. Of course there could be something which delays firefox shutting down. Dunno. Just brainstorming while translating with MoManager the menu to finnish.

lately have been using ff almost exclusively without problems. there was a thread i found last time this happened months maybe a year ago. will keep looking for that thread but iirc consensus was a ff problem rather than user induced problem.

Running a current version of Thunderbird, in dpup exprimo, I often get the same sort of firefox error ("Thunderbird is already running, please...")

I just have to wait or restart X--I can not replicate this problem with a Thunderbird/Win7 setup.
