did bigbass jump ship?

To show the selection of a folder by the two possible
methods Xdialog or gtkdialog. Compare each method
and decide which is best.

I wrote a simple script to compress a folder that the user selects.

The big difference is that Xdialog adds a slash at end of path.

Posted: **Sat 09 Jun 2012, 19:18**

I wanted to show how it is possible to choose a folder and
enter data in another field at the same time.

To see the final application I created go HERE

Using the most recent version of gtkdialog this is possible
(See image) When the folder is choosen the time
to compress is calculated (using a simple estimate based on size)
and then displayed in box underneath.

Compare this with the old method where a
refresh button had to be clicked to make a calculation.

I've included two scripts to show the two methods.
Re quires the most recent version of gtkdialog

refresh button version...

'mpg321 /dir/file' to play a audio-file.
If you use 'ffmpeg -i "/dir/file" -f au - | aplay -D plughw' it will play mp3, ogg, wma, flac, wav, ... without including more dependencies.
...

I tried -a 0:0, then -a :hw, then -a 'hw:0,0', then -a 0:hw:0, but now, i know the right word!
Finally, i've found the solution! Thanks!

-=Quirky Linux -1.40=-

mpg321 -a :plughw -o alsa /folder/file.mp3

OR:

mpg321 -a 0,0:plughw -o alsa /folder/file.mp3

To share sound card which has no hardware sound mixing:

aoss mpg321 -o alsa /folder/file.mp3

Is this line correct? Just one quote sign?

I guess it should be

Have you tested it?

No I thought you tested it.

It's a bit too complicated for me

Two scripts AVAILABLE

I posted two scripts in programming section of forums
to demonstrate how to restrain the combobox

From a list of audio players , only the installed
audio players are shown.

Could you help me with mine program electricity for puppy linux I'm doing. I want to do the calculations by pressing "enter" instead of pressing the button "calculate". Could you do that for me?. Now I send the files.
I'd also like to know how to make programs in a single window with multiple tabs, each program in each tab.

Posted: **Fri 07 Sep 2012, 06:33**

Walter, to make tabs in a single window use the <notebook> command. The syntax can be found on the first page of this thread.

This should give you a clue how to use the enter key to accept input.

#! /bin/bash

export DIALOG='
<window title="Enter password" icon-name="gtk-dialog-question">
<vbox>
<hbox>
<text>
<label>Label:</label>
</text>
<entry activates-default="true">
<variable>PASS0</variable>
<visible>password</visible>
</entry>
</hbox>
<hbox>
<button cancel></button>
<button can-default="true" has-default="true" use-stock="true">
<label>gtk-ok</label>
</button>
</hbox>
</vbox>
</window>
'

eval $(gtkdialog --program=DIALOG)
echo "$PASS0"

Posted: **Fri 07 Sep 2012, 17:08**

To activate <entry> from enter-key you could use the 'activate' signal.

Code: Select all

<entry>
<action signal="activate">command</action>
</entry>

Posted: **Fri 07 Sep 2012, 23:51**

Use the function of the enter key and if it works, but only in a "Calcular" button and I want to get all the buttons work in "calcular"

As you would?

' gtkdialog3 --program=MAIN_DIALOG

Posted: **Wed 26 Sep 2012, 11:52**

Can anyone offer a simple gtkdialog GUI for netcat.

I would like to be able to run netcat in backgrounded listening mode when I start the computer. If someone was to call me using netcat, my system should open a chat window so the caller and callee can chat.

It's easy enough to do it in two terminal on the local and remote computer.

EG: listening computer:
netcat -lp <port>

EG: Calling computer:
netcat 192.168.x.x <port>

Both terminals will connect and you can chat in the terminal windows.

This can also be done on a WAN but you need to do some port forwarding.

I would also be happy just to use the terminal/console as long as it is backgrounded until invoked by the caller. I just don't want in in the tray until it's required.

Thanks
