This is a helper program for ROX-Filer. It provides images for video files. It repackages my vidthumb.py script as a fully-fledged application directory.
Note: you need at least version 2.1.1 of ROX-Filer and 2.0.4 of ROX-Lib2

I test it on lupu511 diaboluq who have ROX-Filer and python
I installed ROX-Lib2
updated pet

#some help?
It's an encoding problem in python, should be easy to solve, can you post the full line 72 in /usr/lib/ROX-Lib2/python/rox/__init__.py (and surroundings)?
Anyway the error comes from a write to standard error so I guess solving this encoding error will lead to the real exception raised...

Since ROX is a file handling program, should I move this to the Filesystem section?
The idea is to put it where people are most likely to look if they're looking for a program like this.

<<Since ROX is a file handling program, should I move this to the Filesystem section? >>
this program is useful for all desktop manager that use Rox like jwm enlightment or xfe, most of Rox are published here?
Thanks

Well the full string does not contain unicode chars, I should know what the _ def contains:
it probably adds some unicode char to the string...
Anyway you can read by yourself the exception that would be raised once this encoding problem is solved: pygtk2 package is not installed or detected or its version is lower than 2.0.0.
There are pygtk2 pets around, try installing one, if you get the same problem again try:
Code: Select all
#python
>>>import pygtk2
>>>pygtk.__version__
and see what version you have

can't find a correct python-gtk2_2
most are linked to python 2.5
and deb
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/pygtk is not linked correctly with python_DEV-2.6.4-w5.pet

What??? You mean installing easy_install itself or python-gtk2_2?
Installin' easy_install is no more than running a shell script.

Not everithing that works in puppy needs a pet...
Go here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
download egg file for your python version and run it as a shell script. You're done.
Ex. for python 2.6:
Code: Select all
# wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg#md5=bfa92100bd772d5a213eedd356d64086
# chmod a+x setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
# ./setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
Now you can easy_install from python package index:
# easy_install somepackage

Under Retro Precise 571
I've installed zeroinstall and its dependicies from PPM
Then
ROX>Options>Thumbnails>Video Thumbnails
download a bunch of handlers, that I can see under "Install type handers".
Once (I don't know how) I manage to have video thumbnail, though not for all codecs.
Now, everytime I try with a fresh Retro P571 I failed to view the thumbnails.
If I go to ROX>Options>Thumbnails>Video Thumbnails>manage MIME type and drop a video, I do view a thumbnail, but seems not to save the changes.
Thanks for helping
