I am dreadful sorry about that.

Refresh button seen in slacko-6.3.0.1 and in Fatdog64.

Maybe time will help to solve this mystery.

No mystery

--extra-button has been added to Xdialog by amigo.
--extra button is used for Refresh of list and for selection of SUPERFLOPPY

Versions of Xdialog without this patch simply ignore --extra-button.
As these are extras nothing weird happens if the extra is omitted.

Only problem I still have is this:

Navigate to an iso.
Right click and choose open with..... YaPI
YaPI starts still showing the console as you use YaPI.

Yapi always shows console.
It is coded to do so.
Some infos are given in console only.
Don't close console. (Or did you?)

This
Puppy Universal Installer (For all Puppy iso Versions)
has been confusing.

It is NOT universal.
It is NOT for all Puppy iso versions.
If running in a WOOF-CE built Puppy
- it should install any puppy frugal
- it should install any puppy full
- it should install any ISO as Superfloppy
and it does not aim to be the fastest nor have the longest (list)

What about

Hi bigpup.

When that happens I "rewind" my browser. Back-arrow brings me back to the

That may be a clue.

One mount issue.
The unmounted partitions stay mounted after the search completes.
YaPI needs to be able to do the search and return the drives to the condition they were in before the search.

Here is my resulting list from running your latest code:

Hi bigpup.

You say:

That's weird, because line 29 explicitly says:

Code: Select all

umount /mnt/"$Dsk"

In short this subroutine should unmount partition X if it had to be mounted. In other
words, if the partition is unmounted, the sub-routine mounts it, gets the info, and
puts it back in the state it was, i.e. unmounted. Maybe I should add a < wait >
command after < umount >. < mount > and < umount > are slowpokes.

The times are quite ok, though, aren't they?

Speaking of time, about using < slocate >: if you don't have it installed, it'll take as
much time or more to create its databases than it would using < find >. So there'd
be no advantage in using < slocate > if NOT ALREADY ACTIVE on the Puppy.
Which is why I'm staying with the unorthodox four-level deep < ls > construct.

You say:
> ut I am still getting some strange results for sda7 and sda8.
"Strange" in what sense, please? Have you got a screen capture?

Duplicate entries for stuff on sda7 and sda8.
Example:

Code: Select all

/mnt/sda7/mnt/home/mnt/+root+Downloads+lupu-528.005.iso:
/mnt/sda7/mnt/home/mnt/+root+Downloads+PupRescue_2.5.iso:

/mnt/sda7/root/Downloads/PupRescue_2.5.iso
/mnt/sda7/root/Downloads/tahr-6.0.1-CE_noPAE.iso

Getting stuff that is on sda7 and sda8 plus stuff on sda1 listed under sda7 and sda8.
All that ++++++ stuff.
See my posted output below.

musher0,

An Idea.
Some of this could be caused by what version of Puppy your code is running in.

I am running your code in Slacko 6.3.0

Another idea.
sda7 and sda8 have Puppy full installs.
Could any kind of leftover download or iso access info data files cause these double entries

Hi bigpup.

Actually there is a < wait > command there...
Maybe it's not enough.

bigpup?

The script below should be entirely ok now, thanks to the umount -l parameter.
I "quadruple"-checked.

I also added some comments, in the hope that they'll be helpful.

This script is slower, though. It needs almost 2 minutes (1m 59s) to find 98
Puppy iso files in 15 partitions.

Any other bugs, please let me know? TIA.

BFN.

Hello again bigpup.

This is not really off-topic, since a few posts ago you were disappointed that your
listing was not exactly the same as mine. I back-tracked myself and found my
compilation for Puppy of the real < less > pager, version 481, here.

The busybox people have trimmed the original less command of so many of its
useful functions that the version they offer is really the pits, a pale shadow of the
original. No wonder people hate using it, or have never heard of or experienced the full
power of this text pager. You'll notice the difference as soon as you install and use the
"real" < less >.

I hope this helps. BFN.

Indeed.

@gcmartin:
sdc";", sdd";", sde";" shouldn't appear in the error report, they shouldn't even be in
probepart list, since they're not on your "partition icons" line at bottom. Unless it's the
smurf's revenge on me for having boiled one of their comrades in a variable!

Or there's something about superfloppies that escapes me and that I should be learning
in a jiffy...

musher0,

What about making this code development a separate topic?

If nothing else it looks like a useful search program for Puppy iso files.
It still looks like a possible option for YaPI.
Just do not want people to think the search in YaPI is broken.

I love code testing

Tried your latest code running in Tahrpup6.0.5
Did get a cleaner listing.
Still not completely good output for sda7.
Gave me no output for sda8.
Is the code not reporting because the iso's on sda8 are also on sda1?

See my output list below:

The mount and unmount does seem to work OK.
Completes with the mount conditions, as they were before running.

You are making progress.

Yes, what you did made it run slower.
It is starting to run at about the same speed as the original search code in YaPI.
That is not totally a bad thing.
It has to take time to mount and unmount partitions.

Just an idea.
Could the code be getting too complicated

Maybe over-thinking what is really needed

I do not see anything that needs fixing.
YaPI works, and it looks like a finished program, not seeing the console.
I figured you missed deleting some of the code that made the console show.

The normal information windows give all the needed information.
