I have attached a pic of the test-icon I was making in Dpup Exprimo SMP 5.X.13.5

ahh... there is an icon created but in /tmp/pikona as opposed to /root/pikona

Dear Phil,

Glad you found it, but why didn't it save the icon in /root/pikona???? I am scratching my head, because that is part of what the Save routine does - moves the icon from tmp to /root/pikona. Weird....I will have to investigate that.

With kind regards,
vovchik

oh..thanks to you, I found it as well.

vovchik, I've provided before and after screenshots of the /tmp/pikona folder. It appears one old picture remains, and the new pic hasn't been moved (or copied?).

I see that the new file is greated in /tmp/pikona, which is entirely as expected. The code in my prog (from line 919) saves it like this:

Code: Select all

	IF FILEEXISTS(CONCAT$("/tmp/pikona/", new_file$)) THEN
		IF FILEEXISTS(CONCAT$(home$, "/pikona/", new_file$)) THEN
			DELETE FILE CONCAT$(home$, "/pikona/", new_file$)
		END IF
		RENAME CONCAT$("/tmp/pikona/", new_file$) TO CONCAT$(home$, "/pikona/", \
			new_file$)
		Write_Log

which means:

if there is a file with that new name in /tmp/pikona, move it to /root/pikona (and if a file in /root/pikona already exists with that name, first delete it). Since you are getting the "Save" notification, the routine is kicking in, just not moving the file. I am wondering whether this is not another UDT/non-UTF problem. Are you - Phil and Tman - using a UTF locale? Or just LANG_en? I have seen weird things occur as a result of UTF/non-UTF settings. Pikona itself explicitly sets a UTF environment so as to support various languages:

Code: Select all

SETENVIRON "OUTPUT_CHARSET", "UTF-8"

I wonder whether that isn't at the root of this odd problem.

With kind regards,

Dear oldyeller,

I don't quite get the question. The stuff in the first post is the latest version. You actually need pikona4-base.pet. Everything else is optional, but useful if you want to design icons. I wrote Pikona, and it works in lucid as expected - for me, at any rate. The source is included, so if it does not work in your system, you can try compiling it and replacing the executable with your new one.

With kind regards,
vovchik

I just wanted to know if I needed anything else for it to work thats all.

Cheers
