Hi
I have started this thread for anyone to waffle on about matters relating to 5.x RC1 which does not involve any allegation of bug report for a TCZ---which would go to the TCE bug forum
AND
does not relate to TCB matters for RC1
CLOSED now that 5.x is final
-
As I use either flwm_topside or openbox I thought I would import idesk from the 4.x series
It works with changing the idesk dependency to mention it is
expat2.tcz
fontconfig.tcz
Xorg-7.7-lib.tcz
instead of 7.6
-
I am not an expert on idesk but I needed to use it to confirm if TCZs gave me
the correct desktop icons
here is proof of idesk in action.....but could be tweaked better I am sure
---caption tip fails....no great loss ATM

2) I am RH mouse user, double clicking with L mouse opens the app as expected
a rough guide cheating off the readme follows
mnt/sdb1/home/tc/.idesktop/wolf.lnk
contents of
table Icon
Caption: wolf
CaptionTip: its the wooliff
Command: firefox/firefox
Icon: firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png

end
table Actions
Lock: control right doubleClk
Reload: middle doubleClk
Drag: left hold

Execute[0]: left doubleClk
Execute[1]: right doubleClk
end
(C) Backup and move .xsession out of the way and supply a new one with contents suitable maybe for openbox users
/usr/local/bin/Xvesa -br -screen 1024x768x24 -shadow -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &
(sleep 2; idesk &) &
export XPID=$!
waitforX || ! echo failed in waitforX || exit
"$DESKTOP" 2>/tmp/wm_errors &
export WM_PID=$!
[ -x ./.setbackground ] && ./.setbackground
[ -x ./.mouse_config ] && ./.mouse_config &
[ $(which "$ICONS".sh) ] && ${ICONS}.sh &
[ -d ".X.d" ] && find ".X.d" -type f -print | while read F; do . "$F"; done
# start openbox
exec openbox
exit $?
Naturally as I do not know what I am doing TRY AT OWN RISK
EDIT image has been updated to show wbar
onboot list was amended to remove flwm_topside and have openbox only
-
In case you can't spot it, that config points to a certain font name gothic
I don't have it loaded at the moment but the icon still gave me a font.
How about that! ;D
fluxbox users could mod my exec line to fluxbox with luck
AAAH I have just deleted my image folder for RC1 instead of a previous image I had above
-
I am curious why your windows manager needs to be started from .xsession?
iDesk looks interesting, honestly have never seen how to configure it before, thanks

You are probably correct as I said I am not an expert and followed the readme.

just built and limited test of xarchiver but not yet tested import of xdg-utils
pms sent
there a quite a few more dependencies to import and test but first test on bz2 was good
-
Juanito
its safe IMHO to import idesk with modified dep as per reply 1
2) test of unrar import also good

downloaded and
unrar e example.rar

test of import zip-unzip is good

unzip analysis.zip

could not see an easy sample but import of cpio should be ok based on
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/cpio-utility/
cd test
tc@box:/tmp/test$ touch a b
tc@box:/tmp/test$ ls
a b
ls | cpio -ov > /tmp/test1.cpio
a
b
1 block
###################
cd /tmp
tc@box:/tmp$ cpio -idv < /tmp/test1.cpio
a
b
1 block
EDIT
my build of xarchiver not opening it.....damn

Juanito
also import of p7zip looks ok as well as per

I know there are other compressions but simple tests only from me YMMV
EDIT
my xarchiver does not open it
I might need to rebuild-----that I have imported some dependencies later
-
ahh found it, open xarchiver and choose folder to create a new compression
--pull down compression type and cpio and p7zip are not listed
will need to reboot to check if its the same for 4.x series and edit later
EDIT
in 4.x its the same deal....so I have not made a mistake, there are too many dependencies in current xarchiver as per

idesk, cpio, zip-inzip and p7zip uploaded to 5.x repo - thanks
-
unless someone can give a better explanation,
I don't think I can test xdg-utils until we have a true Desktop environment
---it appears to have main use of mime type registration?
xdg-utils is a a set of command line tools that assist applications with a variety of desktop integration tasks.
so in xarchiver, it says install it for extra features but not sure what they might be,
as in 4.x I was only using it as my pcmanfm/spacefm archive manager.
---and normally only unpack gz/bz2/tar files

Juanito
thanks for uploading, did you know unrar is also possible?
reply 7
-
You mean unrar works with tc-5.x and can be uploaded to the tc-5.x repo?
-
yes
evidence is reply 7 part (2)

unrar copied over
