Not sure if this affects you or you are on the ball and already dealt with it.

Here's an experimental version (0.3.0) with (a bit ugly?) workaround to support selecting multiple items.
For Add, Download or Remove button, (only) if nothing selected in the main GUI, a "yad" list window will appear from where you can select multiple items. (see screenshot).
Depends on having yad installed, version 0.20 or higher (the old version 0.12, which is included in some puppies won't work), the script checks for version number and will give message and exit if yad version is lower than 0.20.
EDIT: See here for v0.3.1, without yad version restriction
Other change is that all button icons should show now also in older puppies (changed icon= to stock=), thanks BarryK and mikeb.

Hi, Fred.

A wee bit of feedback for you.

Experimentation shows that, making modifications to 0.2.0, if you change 'icon' to 'stock' all the way through the 'gdrive_gui' script in /usr/bin, then some buttons that previously showed an icon then seem to lose it!

If you wish to try this small modification to version 0.2.0, then be prepared to interchange 'icon' & 'stock' until you find the mix that works best for you. I've just done this in ETP's 'Chromebook Pup', which is based on Precise 5.7.1. I fully expect this same set of modifications to work in standard 571, too.

In this particular use-case, the buttons that need leaving as 'icon' (rather than changing to 'stock') are

'Add'
'Add all', &
'Download'.

I may try 0.3.0.....I may just leave things as they are. 0.2.0 is working fine for me, since I rarely, if ever, need to upload/download multiple files at once.

Question for you:- If a newer version of yad is required ('Chromepup's' got the old 0.12 version), then where's the best place to get a newer version?

Mike.

Dear fredx181,

Thanks very much for the google drive app. I have tried several things, including scripts that make use of ocaml-fuse, and I much prefer your lean and nicely coded script. The YAD multiple-file addition is very convenient, too, and everything is working on Tahr and on Mint 17.3. I also installed your script on my Raspbian PI3, and it works fine (I first had to compile gtkdialog and yad, but I had done that some time ago).

Again, many thanks and best regards,
vovchik

Yes, that's right, the point is that some gtk icon names needs changed for stock=... to work (noticed that mikeb did that in his newest dropbox_gui)
For "Add" and "Add all" change to stock="gtk-go-forward" instead of: icon="gtk-go-forward-ltr"
For "Download" change to stock="gtk-go-back" instead of: icon="gtk-go-back-ltr"
(made these changes in gdrive_gui v0.3.0)

Thanks for those, Fred. Actually, I followed Smokey's instruction's in the first release of the Puppy Newsletter (from back in January), and compiled my own for Chromepup.. I didn't go for the absolute newest version (0.40.0), but with a somewhat older version, to be a bit more sympathetic to the rest of the system. I settled on 0.32.0, in the end.

Not at all hard, either.

Mike.

Yad.... 0.9.1 . Why...built to work on such as puppy 4.12 and seems to provide multiple file selection...one to play with for anyone with older pups.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dztlg70mieb6n0r/yad?dl=1

Could add yad multiple selection to dropbox doo dah if proves popular..would be nice..

EDIT: ...Earlier provided link removed...

@mikeb, found your yad v0.9, indeed supports multiple file selection, will look at support for older yad version for gdrive_gui
(the problem can be with older yad that it doesn't ignore "not supported" parameters for that version (which are supported for newer version) so in that case it will not run)
So some work to do for adjusting things, I'll get back later.
EDIT: tested now by removing some parameters from yad commands and found that it works just fine also with v0.9
Update to v0.3.1 will follow later without the yad version restriction, thanks

Fred

fredx181 · #32 Post by **fredx181** » Thu 21 Dec 2017, 10:07

Here's v0.3.1, same as v0.3.0 with the 'yad list' addition, but has no restriction for the yad version
(works with yad v0.9 or higher)
Downside can be if you accidentally double-click on an item from yad list it will be processed unwanted (in v0.3.0, double-click is disabled to avoid that)

Just a mention. I use both Mega and Degoo desktop file managers on my Windows machine. Not sure if it has Linux versions. The Mega one is excellent and Degoo's adequate. Both support lots of options including synching, etc. These storage sites provide huge free storage space of course...Mega 50G and Degoo 100GB.

Mike Walsh · #34 Post by **Mike Walsh** » Thu 21 Dec 2017, 15:30

@fredx181:-

0.3.1 now mirrored at the same URL link as in post #1.

Just navigate through to the appropriate folder, and help yourselves.

Hi Everyone, Merry Christmas !!

Update to version 0.3.2, changes:
- No absolute dependency anymore for 'yad', if yad is installed there will be option for multiple file selection, if not, the program still runs with support for single file selection only (thanks mikeb !)
- Fix for 'Add all', uploads folders also now (previously only files)
- Also 'Add all' will be processed in one terminal now (previously was spawning terminal for every file)
- If yad installed (and nothing selected in main GUI), the 'Add' button will give "file-selector" (previous was list) which is better IMO, to be able to browse files or folders for upload from everywhere.

Here's also a portable version, recommended to extract at the top dir level of a partition, e.g. /mnt/sda2 (to have that partition as 'profile' and have download access to all that (including it's subfolders)
This contains the files 'gdrive_gui' (the executable script to launch the program) and 'drive' (a hidden directory '.gd' and hidden config file '.gdriverc' will be created in (same) profile dir after initiated profile dir).

Hi All, I made a different version v2
It's not compatible with the previous versions, e.g. config file and authorization folder are named different.
It contains different filenames (e.g. gdrive_gui2 rather than gdrive_gui), so will NOT overwrite the files from previous versions. (will appear in Menu as "Google-drive GUI v2")
Instead previously using "drive", this makes use of "gdrive", see here:
https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive
Actually when I started this "google-drive GUI" project, I did prefer using "gdrive", because it doesn't depend on a "profile" directory, just account name for the "profile", so better portability IMO.
(EDIT: Another advantage is that downloading is not restricted to one directory (as it is with previous "drive" based versions) )
But at that time using "gdrive" seemed too overwhelming (it strictly works with the "ID" of files and folders) and back then chose the (easier to script) "drive".

Thank you for v2. I'm looking forward to using this one. Motivating factor: gdrive. I've been satisfactorily using its command line for several years. Now, finally, your GUI.

fredx181 · #38 Post by **fredx181** » Thu 11 Jan 2018, 16:58

Hi All, update of v2 (2.1.0), changes and improvements:
- Multiple selection now possible from main GUI, so does not depend on "yad" anymore.
- When maximized, show full view of both panes.
- Changed "gtkdialog3" to just "gtkdialog" in the script (that gives support for the above changes).
Note: Older puppy versions may have only "gtkdialog3", in that case it doesn't work as expected.
Tested with this gtkdialog:

Code: Select all

root@live:~# gtkdialog -v
gtkdialog version 0.8.3 release (C) 2003-2007 Laszlo Pere, 2011-2012 Thunor

Hi fredx181. Thanks for this great little program. I use it every day.

Is there a way to automate a backup to my google drive?

My daily process is to open the gui, delete the old file, and upload the new one. If that could be automated, that'd be awesome.

fredx181 · #40 Post by **fredx181** » Sun 14 Oct 2018, 19:12

Hi p310don, good to hear that it's useful for you !

Which version you use ?
The first version by defaullt overwrites files with same name if they are different.
The v2 cannot do that AFAIK.
Automating should be possible by using command line, hard to accomplish with GUI, I think, so then something like:

Code: Select all

drive push -hidden -no-prompt -m /root/my-file ./my-remote-folder/

And maybe use Pschedule to exectute everyday
(drive is included in first version, v2 uses gdrive)
