to remove duplicates, using a quick dirty fix (im too dumb to understand technos guide above):

remove all tabs and spaces fro mthe start of the <Program> lines

then, right at the end of the script, echo it all to a VAR, then 'uniq' then echo to .jwmrc

# ugly fix to remove duplicates that end up in the same sub menu
FILE1=`cat ${HOME}/.jwmrc | uniq `
echo "$FILE1" > ${HOME}/.jwmrc#

this totally goes against the shell only thing, but it works

Hmm interesting solution, could probably pipe it through unique when echoing it to the .jwmrc[/img]

I have made some changes to eliminate duplicate menu entries and added support for keybindings... It borks the pretty formatting in the jwmrc, but it works, so I will upload when I get home.

v0.9 is uploaded and ready for testing, see initial post

Ok, trialling this in Slacko on my lappy with jwm-svn572.

This works fine:

Code: Select all

jwm_menu_create && jwm -reload.

*If* I were to use this in the next release this is what I think I would have to do:

patch petget to run jwm_menu_create && jwm -reload (or -restart depending on version)
patch the jwm_install_menu_create to read /etc/DISTRO_SPECS which provides DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX (eg "slacko", "wary5", "dpup") and only show those repos, maybe cross reference with ~/.packages/woof-installed-packages for obvious reasons, also filter out the DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS with "Packages-puppy-*" instead of "Packages-"
---Possible support for closest geographical repo based on locale???
set 'DRIVES=""' as default since I'm using rox-desktop
anything anyone else can think of?

I really like the speed, simplicity and ease of use, not to mention built in locale support.

jwm -reload ¦¦ jwm -restart
This should work regardless of version

I hard coded the repository locations in jwm_install_menu_create because there was no standard and Barry renamed a bunch of directories on ibiblio and broke all a lot of older versions... Let me know if it is at a permanent state and I will update them. (i initially had it using distrospecs)

The only other thing I will add before 1.0 is pseudo-icon support, but I am still debating the best way, I was thinking about using $HOME/Desktop as in many DEs, and supporting both rox and jwm. Any thoughts on that?

that's the state of ibiblio/quirky atm (plus a wary5OLD, I guess deprecated), note "pet_packages-noarch/" for future arm support.. <OT>wonder if(when) arm-puppy becomes available if jwm will compile and run? I might put in a feature request to Joe for a restart when swithching from landscape to portrait mode (inverted, left, right etc) when switching with xrandr, probably will be needed for tablets/phones etc.</OT>

here's ibiblio/puppylinux

...but pet-packages-lucid/ (hy-phen) isn't needed as pet_packages-lucid/ (under_score) is a link to it.

The only other thing I will add before 1.0 is pseudo-icon support, but I am still debating the best way, I was thinking about using $HOME/Desktop as in many DEs, and supporting both rox and jwm. Any thoughts on that?

I for one like that idea.

My bandwidth is too low to download all of the packages to get the pet.specs files from all of the packages to generate the package lists (i didn't see them in the repo). Perhaps this would be a good thing to suggest to Barry as a way to get updated package lists (and save some of his scarce bandwidth too)

Those lists are based on the pet.specs, same is in the quirky repo respectively.

Ah, I was expecting to see them in each directory, that will actually simplify using wget to get updates... Maybe a checklist to turn on/off different repos too.

Posted: **Tue 17 Jan 2012, 00:04**

Ok, so I have .9 in the Slacko-5.3.1.2 alpha .. fairly raw, as in I didn't really hack anything. I did attempt to patch PPM, diffs and files attached.

Posted: **Sat 21 Jan 2012, 08:56**

It would appear that changing the window hight and/or the window tittle font size does not affect the size of the minimize/maximize/close buttons.
Is there a way to resize them accordingly?
Thx

Posted: **Sun 22 Jan 2012, 02:31**

They are hard coded ... As is the default icon (the ugly X) if you send an alternative set I can recompile jwm with them.

Posted: **Sun 22 Jan 2012, 05:37**

Wasn't that hard to actually patch jwm (newer version with older version icons widened a bit.), getting it to look right was another thing.

I'll post the patch and mavrothal I'll pm a bin for you.

The patch could be adjusted to suit your needs provided you know what you are doing with the xbm image format. Mtpaint handles it better than gimp actually.

The slacko version works just fine

I also made an XOpup/Lupu version
Thanks!

Boy I can be a dumb ass! Only have to tell fixmenus that jwm_menu_create exists and that solves a bunch of stupid patches!

In case anyone else wants to add this to their puppy.... Here is Akitas fixmenus.. it's been using jwm_menu_create for a while now...

Thee probleme, mon ami technosaurus, eet ees that yoouur scrîpt does not peeck up thee *.desktop files à /usr/local/share/applications also. I had too doo all sorts of deerectory contorsions to incorporate dem, with very petit success. (How do you laîke my French accent?)

I found a solution, working on aragon's spm2.

It is ridiculous to leave out perhaps one third of the programs because we do not access /usr/local/share/applications, no ?

Please see that thread. Thanks.
