To musher0, M walsh, bigpup, P Dogfellow, RSH, peebee et al,

Please try v 0.9.5.2 (or v 0.9.5.1) on tahr-64-6.0.5 (where they ruined my respective save files) or wherever and kindly report here on your installation success or failure(s).

Hello ASD.

You may say whatever you like. But without evidence, your statement
has no value. If true, it only proves that you do not take backing up your
Puppies seriously. If false, everyone can draw conclusions about what
bearing false witness means.

Most of all it means that you do not know what testing a script in
development means.

MochiMoppei has answered me and he does not know you.

Before this gets out of hand: this is a 32-bit package. For methodological
reasons, a 64-bit version will be considered only when the development of
this 32-bit version has been finalized.

More elegant with em-dashes?

Hello all.

I am quite satisfied with this new version, 0.9.5.3.

Removed:
-- the GTK & Rox Bookmarks section, as one experienced Puppyist
mentioned in a Private Message, that section was not, strictly speaking,
a "history" section. Besides, it had one parsing code problem -- which
could be solved -- and one social problem -- which could not be solved. Wink

I hate social problems. Wink

-- the fonts section introduced in version 0.9.5.2. While it was sane code,
depending on the number of TTF fonts you have, it occupied so much RAM
when active that it prevented changing ColorSchemes.

As I mentioned already, the fonts can be controlled from a one-liner or
from the "cousin" script MenuDefaultPlus. So a call to the latter has been
included in the Help section, to replace the fonts section. If you have this
script, it will have its entry (using the same accordion effect as described
earlier for the Chromium and other browsers).

Changed:
-- as Lazy Puppy remarked above, something had to be done to lighten
the "separators". While aemenu does not offer "separators" per se, like
for ex. jwm, pekwm or icewm, one can use the en- or em-dashes, the
regular dash "-", the wiggly "~", the underscore "_", even the letter "o".

With aemenu-pango, you also have the underline function, with options
for single, double and low underlines. The nice thing is that you can have
an underline function underlining... void.

Twisted Evil

No, this is not nihilist philosophy!!! I mean: "underlining space".
I used the double underline pango function as separator in sub-menus.

-- Finally, the thick separator between the time and the main title is
replaced with the "low underline" underneath the time.

You be the final judges, but for me, I find the new result very elegant.

So until further notice, this will be the last version of my MRUF/MRUD
script. Warm and sincere thanks to all who contributed!

Other projects await!

musher0,

Testily, only yesterday, you wrote "this is a 32 bit package".

Flash,

Upon installation, I see a blank window, RSH sees a blank window, Puppus Dogfellow may still see a blank window.

Evidently, it's not for 64 bit use (as may be obvious) and if it's for beginners heaven help us and all Puppy versions.

Might I suggest you might consider moving this thread to another location.

musher0,

Yet again, you write testily. Please do contact Flash - I can easily provide him with full information, but since you insist upon being obtuse just be content with your claim that I'm a liar and a fool.

Hello all.

I did test the script on Fatdog 701 and JL 604, which are both 64-bit
Puppies. It installs without problem under JL 604, with the icon right in
the middle of the screen, but apparently Fatdog 701 does not know what
to do with pet archives.

It seems that this version of vovchik's aemenu-pango is not 64-bit
capable. I will ask him about it.

In neither case, however, did the installation or the script "ruin" any
pupsave file or the Puppy OS. In the case of the JL 604, clicking on the
script icon or trying to run it from the console simply did nothing.

By contrast, I had nice success on Moat's beautiful ChloePup-R27, a
derivative of Precise Pup-5.27, I believe. Please see attached.

tested in tahr64 605 (a derivative, but i don't think i added (as yet) anything to make it more than typically robust)--your script didn't kill it, or my save folder, but it gave me no gui and i had to reboot to get responsiveness back. no error messages in the terminal. i think it was processing things because after i activated it the machine began to slow to a crawl (took 5 minutes to merely close unsaved documents and exit geany), but no popup menu or usable functionality, so it appears it's a no go on tahr64 605 as of 9.5.3. uninstalled and rebooted (after starting an installation of 707-64 because i hit enter instead of down--i guess there were technically two reboots) and everything was back to normal.

hth

(haven't tested in 32bit but that appears to be sorted out. new menu in one of the last screenies looks good and clear to my eyes).
