Hello,
Question: What is the option "Segment spacing" used for? I don't see any changes when trying to set a new value through the configuration window! This value don't stay anyway...

Cordialement.

It is supposed to set the spacing between the segments, e.g. the dark bits between the parts that light up. Another thing to fix. Sad

Hello,
Here are the French UTF-8 po and mo files for retrovol.
=> This thread should be useful to know/solve encountered issues with UTF-8 mo files!
Something else: While running retrovol in console, I get:

L18L

attached.

We have a C coded gettexted app now Very Happy

Thank you

Note, you can see another language in action
without having to install the other locale
I have done it with French:

1- right click the icon and stop retrovol
2- start it in the other language from command line
LANGUAGE=fr retrovol

Have fun Wink

The problem with the segment thickness is now fixed in SVN, as well as the warning about deprecated page values.

Having an option to set margins in the windows would be nice I guess. I really hate GUI programming though, so I'll put that off until next time Smile

Hello pizzasgood,

I guess I have some difficulties to make the difference between active sliders and enabled sliders. Perhaps is it here I am wrong?

Pizzasgood · Posted: Fri 03 Feb 2012, 10:17 Post subject:

Okay, yes, that is intentional. This has to do with the config file, which only stores the enabled sliders, not the disabled sliders. If no sliders are enabled - such as on a fresh empty config file - then it defaults to showing all of the sliders, because not showing any sliders wouldn't make any sense. Once a person enables some specific sliders, then it stops showing the others and only shows the enabled ones.

Another factor to consider is that some people use Puppy on a USB or multisession DVD, and run it on more than one computer using the same save, and therefor the same .retrovolrc file. Different computers have different volume controls, which could cause problems if they enable specific sliders and then try booting on a different machine that doesn't have those sliders. Instead, they can just leave it with no sliders enabled, so that it will automatically use all of them that it finds, whatever the hardware.

Hello,
... Ok, this is clear now: Thank you for replying!

Best regards.

Okay, 0.12 is uploaded.

Warning: The gtk in the puppies I tested on (4.1.2 and 5.25) doesn't seem to like the localization files. Not sure if it's just a fonts issue or what. Works fine in my Arch install, where I originally tested everything. Looks like it's a UTF-8 issue of some sort. Probably something you guys with the non-English Puppies already fixed ages ago? Spits out messages like this:

Hello pizzasgood,
Did you have a look at this thread (given above in my previous post)? => This thread should be useful to know/solve encountered issues with UTF-8 mo files!

Regards.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that made them behave. Thanks.

Hmm - problem here. Using 5.2.8 in my trust old Toshiba 64-bit AMD. IDK why, but I lost my volume applet -- poking around I found retrovol and installed. In terminal, I get:
