Bookmarks/Contacts/Notes gtkdialog script

[dejan555]

This is a bash/gtkdialog script I've made for myself but maybe others might find it usefull.
Like it says in the title, it's used to save links/phone numbers/notes
It uses sqlite3 so all data is stored inside one database (or you can create/load more separate ones)

Just save in executable path or somewhere you can just click on it to run.
Remove fake .gz extension and make executable

Code: Select all

wget -O mylinks.gz "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=80614"
mv mylinks.gz mylinks
chmod +x mylinks
./mylinks

Code suggestions are always welcome or post your own variations.

Bonjour musher0.
Je ne comprends pas le message de dejan555. Peux-tu le traduire sur le forum fr.

Hi dejan555,

I really like this handy utility! Great work.

Here's an internationalized version. (gettext'ed)

What's the advantage of using the sql database?

Thanks!

[dejan555]

Hi Bert, thanks for adding gettext.
Advantage is that all data is kept in the same file and it's easier to manage inside app then having it use flat files.
sqlite is also small and fast and doesn't need to have daemon running for fetching/storing data like other big databases and already comes with puppy.

Thanks for a lovely little program. I has just what I want and none of the complications I don't.

I was wondering if it would be possible use gtkdialog as a front end for SQLite. It looks like you have done a pretty good job here. It would be great if it had a bit more flexibility so other databases could be created.
SQLite is pretty cool but is a little difficult to drive from the command line and not all that pretty. Maybe YAD is another possibility.
I wonder how difficult this would be?

Dejan555 has not been around for a while, I think. Another loss to Puppy. Very interesting idea, though, Smokey01. Maybe a new thread on this subject would generate more interest.

Hi slavvo67.

I have a hunch that he may be part of the team behind the new Chalet OS Linux.
I do not know for sure, nothing objective; it just looks like his style and he's roughly
from that area of the world.

BFN.

[dejan555]

Ah, I see that the ChaletOS author has the same name but that's not me.
And it's based on xubuntu! That would so not be my choice
This is the first time I've heard about this OS.

smokey01, I don't think it would be perfect, but if you wanted a specific app that's simple enough I guess it can be done.

this is a really great idea. things i would change:

* preserve the filename instead of naming as mylinks (may require a different url, or even two)
* at least preserve the attach id in the filename
* check if the .gz is really fake
* possibly check for #! in first line before making executable

this is probably overcomplicating it. but its a great idea and these are ways to improve it. if i did it myself, i would do it in fig, but when it can be done easily in bash it probably should be. (then python is not required to run it.)
