Hello,
All these scripts are very interesting and useful indeed...
The original one was internationalized by rodin.s and it is really a pity that none of them were "gettexted" according to the existing mo files...

Please feel sorry for poor guys who don't speak English: don't forget them!

Cordialement.

I propose a new version of resizepfile script.
I based the new script on big_bass release (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=501398#501398) and changes proposed by Don570 (http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=640850).

Changes/new features :
- Added two files: 'version-author' and 'settings'. This allows you to change information/preferences without changing the main script.
- Modification/simplification of main script 'resizepfile.sh'.
- Changing the main GUI (and adding a 'Help' GUI).
- Translation: I used Zigbert method to simplify the development of the script. If necessary, we can use files .mo in future versions. Currently, I have only integrated the local 'en', I will add other local when the script has been tested/approved by users and contributors.

To do
- Check/test/improve the current script.
- Check/test/improve translation 'en'.
- Help me solve a small bug (see next post).

Sincerely,

resizepfile-0.1.2
I added to the main GUI information in GB.
Currently, this simple division gives the result that integers.
I would like to figure a comma (two decimal places).
I tried to add a scale=2. I also tested bc. But I it does not work.
If anyone can help me...

Hey ASRI, bc works ok for me:

Hello SFR and thank you for your help.

I just tried with a base Lucid528

Ah, it's the old problem with decimal separator.
And again I forgot about it, sorry.
bc uses only dot, but printf (bash builtin) distinguishes between dot and comma, accordingly to country settings.
Try this, /usr/bin/printf seems to behave better:

Taille maximum utilisable : le système sait combien d'espace disponible reste sur la partition choisie. Si on met plus que ce que l'on a, il serait bien qu'il le dise de suite. Is'nt it ?

Bla bla : sur les clés USBs, il m'est arrivé de créer une sauvegarde trop grosse pour ce qu'il me restait de place. Bien sûr, on devrait vérifier avant, mais on ne pense pas à tout.
Pendant que vous battez le fer, il serait sans doute possible d'y adjoindre un garde-fou, si vous savez faire, ce dont je ne doute point. Merci messieurs.

Je suis content de la voie prise par nos puppistophiles en ce moment.

ASRI, we got a problem...

I just found out, doing something else, that although /usr/bin/printf works ok in Lupu, but not in Slacko.
The one from Lupu turned out to be a coreutils (full) version, whereas in Slacko it's a part of busybox and it behaves in the same, nasty way as bash builtin.

Perhaps it'd be better to resign from bc and use, for instance, dc, which respects regional settings and therefore always cooperates fine with printf:

Barry Kauler updated his version of bc about half a year ago.

Did Slacko not do the same??

When I checked bc a couple of years ago I found that
multiplication and division could only be done in a particular way
because of old version of bc.

Check Advanced bash manual for examples.
