PostPosted: Sat 04 Aug 2012, 15:36    Post subject:  Restrain COMBOBOX list  
I've written a short script to demonstrate the restraining of
a COMBOBOX list



The script simply plays a sound file or it can be an m3u playlist
(for hours of music with just the click of a button).

It's easy to set the
the sound file in the beginning of the script if you wish.

The basic idea is this...

From a list of possible Audio players a search is done to
find the Audio players that are actually installed in your computer.


The COMBOBOX shows the list of installed players, so the
user can choose among these to play a sound file.

I wanted to show that it was easy to edit the list and
I think I succeeded. Laughing
It's a very simple script. I'll show it in the next post.

Notice the quoting of
Code:
'"$(COMBOBOX)"'


This is the function that makes the list.

Here's an alternate way to restrain the combobox that is even
simpler. It uses the 'cat' command rather that the 'ls' command.
This script avoids the use of an array and the use of a temporary
folder. It uses a temporary file to hold the app names.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#aug2 2012
#Combobox example by don570

# find version of gtkdialog
for P in gtkdialog4 gtkdialog3 gtkdialog; do
           GTKDIALOG=$(which $P) && break
done

         rm -f /tmp/COMBO_LIST

export SOUND="$HOME/puppy-reference/audio/2barks.wav"
 
#  loop through the list of apps that you make
for P in pmusic audacious deadbeef gnome-mplayer aqualung xine; do

          APP_FOUND=`echo $(which $P)`               
          APP="${APP_FOUND##*/}"   # shorten to the app name
          if [ -n "$APP" ] ; then  # avoid blank lines         
         echo $APP >> /tmp/COMBO_LIST
          fi
done

 
function COMBOBOX()
{
       cat /tmp/COMBO_LIST | while read line; do
       echo "<item>${line}</item>"
       cat /tmp/COMBO_LIST |   sed '1d'  >  /tmp/COMBO_LIST_tmp
       mv -f /tmp/COMBO_LIST_tmp /tmp/COMBO_LIST
       done
       rm -f /tmp/COMBO_LIST
}

export BUILD_LIST='

<vbox>
   
            <text>
                      <label>Audio Player</label>
            </text>
           
            <combobox case-sensitive="false" value-in-list="true">
                    <variable>PLAYER</variable>
                     '"$(COMBOBOX)"'
            </combobox>     
 
 <hbox>
             <button cancel></button>
             <button>
                    <label>Play Sound</label>           
                    <action>$PLAYER  "$SOUND" &</action>
            </button>         
           
 </hbox>   

</vbox>

I have Thunor's PMusic installed and when I select play sound, the sound file keeps repeating until I close PMusic.
But maybe that is a PMusic problem in that it may be setup to loop it's playlist.

If you have gtkdialog 8 or better here is an interesting script
that lists all your mounted partitions including USB.
It is based on the previous script.

The button simply puts a message on your screen but
it might be useful to a developer.

Here's a look at it. Home refers to the partition where
your pupsave file is located. It should also work with a full install,
but I haven't tested that configuration.

Hi don570,

you are surely not only a "funny person" (remember?) you are surely a very kind person to show me a way how to get the unmounted drives in a seperate list?

Thanks

RSH

'probepart' gives the full list. (Apparently related to 'partprobe command')

Then subtract my list from that list.
..but it's apparently buggy
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00094


I learned a lot about puppy when I put togeter 'report-system'


In my 'report-system' I looked for '/dev_save/'
to find which partition the pupsave file was stored.




Code:
# PupSave file  -  LUCID or LAZY distro  uses rootfs  and unionfs
echo -e "\n========== $(gettext 'PupSave file') =========\n"  >> /tmp/report-video
df -h > /tmp/top.tmp
sed -n '/dev_save/p' /tmp/top.tmp > /tmp/top.tmp2
sed -n '/unionfs/p' /tmp/top.tmp > /tmp/top.tmp3
if  [ ! -s  /tmp/top.tmp2 ] ||  [ ! -s  /tmp/top.tmp3 ] ; then
echo -e "$(gettext 'PupSave file is not in use')\n"  >> /tmp/report-video
else
...


Here is the code that detects which SFS packages are installed
Code:

# detect SFS files - code by James  Budiono
if [ -n "`which   losetup-FULL`"  ]; then
echo -e "\n=========== $(gettext 'SFS files loaded') ============\n"  >> /tmp/report-video
losetup-FULL -a | sed '/loop[0-3]:/ d;s_^.*/__;s/)$//' | sort  >> /tmp/report-video
fi

in a full install.
