Wow 01micko, that looks really nice, and somebody has good taste in music, well, Judas Priest at least 
So can I update my Pmusic in lupu-520? I haven't been visiting other threads to be honest as I haven't had the time. [EDIT] Ok, I found this thread, downloaded pmusic-1.9.2.pet and it doesn't look like yours, so I guess it's still being developed. Regards, Thunor |

here is some code for icon finding ... I could only get it down to adding 0.3 sec (for parsing all .desktop icons) using shell compared to having it coded into gtkdialog
it would add a lot more if /usr/share/icons/{hicolor,bluecurve}/... are searched for any kind of backward/cross-distro compatibility, but this seems to work for most puppy icons it seems like this would be something that could be added to a gtkrc file, since libgtk actually looks in some of them itself (/usr/share/pixmaps and 1 or 2 others iirc) EDIT nevermind, we could probably just add something like this to the gtkrc file pixmap_path "/usr/share/mini-icons:/another/path/to/more/icons" (it should probably be in the default gtkrc since some gtk programs, especially window managers depend on it) _________________ Puppy Web Desktop Now with pet packages - Pet Packaging 100 & 101 |

I'll make an announcement soon about the new pequalizer app that zigbert and myself have been developing. Zigbert has posted another alpha for Pmusic (1.9.3) in the slacko thread as well as the latest pequalizer-0.2. If you can't wait you will find necessary deps (alsaequal, CAPS, ffmpeg-0.8 [x264 and libvpx required by ffmpeg, and probably mplayer, although if you keep the old ffmpeg libs then you need not bother with mplayer]) here - lupu only, hopefully all versions 5.0.0 to 5.2.5. (Ignore the old equaliser pet). Have fun!

Just to be clear, does this new version of Pmusic require the updated version of gtkdialog? If so, and not stated, I can see a lot of unhappy campers complaining. |

Well in this thread I guess it goes without saying "yes it requires at least revision 123".. however when I do post a thread for pequalizer I'll compile a binary and post a link. There will be some unhappy campers with gtk+ < 2.16! I think wary sneaks through ok, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not sure on which approach zigbert will take. Some features of Pmusic won't work without the latest ffmpeg, that also requires a newish puppy version. He may decide to "fork" such that older versions are bugfixed for older puppies but the newer versions enhanced along with developments in gtkdialog and ffmpeg. His choice. _________________ keep the faith .. |

Pmusic 2 will use recent ffmpeg and gtkdialog. There had to come a switch in dependencies because of - Improved streaming (the WebMusic module that allows playing of youtube music) - New features in gtkdialog made it possible to offer a full-featured player-module... and more.... much more.... - ... Which lead to a new look and the structure for graphical themes had to be updated. - It also gives me an opportunity to clean up some core-code. Next release is expected to be the first beta... But I will be away for a couple of weeks (leaving tomorrow). Sigmund _________________ Stardust resources |

The standard location is /usr/share/icons. Anyway, there are ways for getting the info. _________________ What's the ugliest part of your body? Some say your nose Some say your toes But I think it's your mind |

One important thing we all have to remember is that thunor is updating gtkdialog for the linux community. This does include Puppy, but it is not necessarily specific to it. This would mean that a path to icons or pixmaps on Puppy may not be the same as another linux release. IMO, thunor is doing a great job. |

How about changing the syntax from XML to more like Basic. Easier to type, easier read and understand, etc. Only the /hbox, /vbox, and /bookmark tags need companion closing tags! Lots of tag "<>" qualifiers must be typed, and they do nothing! I suggested this years ago, maybe it`ll make some sense now... ( timing  )

If closing tags are missing, gtkdialog will not run the script, since that is the way it is designed. To modify it as you suggest would make it another gtk scripting language. It also would break almost all Puppy programs that were written using gtkdialog. But if you would like to try your hand at creating a scripting language, there is no one stopping you but you. |

I hope Thunor can straighten out gtkDialog, it`s a mess. And probably the biggest sore point of Puppy ( GUI`s ), and for it`s development. I just thought the crappy XML syntax would benefit from a rewrite also. It could always be made to accept both types of syntax ( of course ). |

BASIC is a programming language, XML is a markup language. What's a "/bookmark" tag? The closing tags trigger widget creation. Can you let me know which widgets don't require a closing tag please as it could be a bug and should be fixed. Which are the tag qualifiers that do nothing? If you can tell me then I'll investigate them.
If you can tell me which parts are a mess then I can make a feature request in the issue tracker to improve them. I don't know anything about Gtkdialog being a "sore point of Puppy" as I haven't been using Puppy Linux for that long. Why of course can it always be made to accept both types of syntax? If you'd like to create some issues yourself within the issue tracker then feel free. Then all Linux users can benefit from your bug and usability reports
Kindest regards, Thunor |

I now use a script file to keep current on gtkdialog. I placed it in the base directory created by the initial download using "svn checkout http://gtkdialog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gtkdialog" from a command prompt. The script I use is this:
It automates the process of keeping gtkdialog current with thunor's additions and revisions. |
