GTK2 Enhancement Request

(1/3) > >>

SamK:
Request shared-mime-info+deps be included (it is in the tcz version).  I suspect that on systems that use both gtk2.scm and gtk2.tcz the omission goes unnoticed.  It is readily apparent when only the SCM is used.


Edit: typos

Jason W:
It seems to be already in there.  I may need to export XDG_DATA_DIRS in the wrappers of gtk2 apps.  Which gtk2 app is affected so I can test?

Rox-Filer shows it up well.  Try opening a directory containing some graphic images.  Ensure Rox has thumbnails activated.  When useing shared-mime-info, each image file is displayed as a thumbnail of the original.  Without it, only a generic icon is displayed.

AmatCoder:
Sorry for noise, but I have a question related to this issue...

Why scm extensions are mounted in read-only mode? This prevents commands as update-mime-database or gtk-update-icon-cache under /apps...

Jason W:
I believe that squashfs is a read only filesystem once the image is made.

But symlinks can and are used in these cases to /opt/scm/pkgname to allow write access.  I will make one for the mime data and the icon cache.
