Core v6.4.1rc1 changes

[jls]

Hi Jason and the other reader
I see there are some changes in the new core rc which could be included in the next dCore rc too.
If you have time or maybe you want to wait for core to be released.

Is it the ondemand changes you are talking about?

Hi. Yes jason, even I don't understand the changes I trust core develop. Actually I don't use ondemand I copy the desktop file in ~/.local/share/application modifying the Exec line prefixing it with sce-load

I have not looked at the code, only the changelog.  I will incorporate the ondemand part once it is released, no need to test it both here and in Core except what I adjust if needed to port to dCore.

I have provided most of these patches. I'm not feeling completely safe here because there is pro and contra, so the more eyes (and xCores) the better.

The patches to ondemand are meant to improve reliability of executing on-demand scripts by shipping app specific parameters / options (as it's intended for GUI apps) to the apps, executed by the on-demand scripts.
The problem now is that, if using the Window Managers On-Demand menus to load a CLI only app, it will not run in the X session (terminal emulator) but will 'hang' on tty, as long as there is no *.desktop file that defines:

Code: [Select]

Exec=cliorx *app-name*

Also there was an infinite loop when executing on-demand scripts, where the respective extension isn't named after the contained executable (f.e. gimp2.tcz ~ gimp2 != /usr/local/bin/gimp) making ondemand executing "extension-name" (the script) instead of the executable.

Hi Misalf,
I am looking forward to reviewing the ondemand changes.  I am bugfixing other stuff now, but I will take  a look at it soon and I am sure it is something that can be ported to dCore.  Thanks!

Oh, and anyone should feel safe posting here.  We are working toward a common goal, and what benefits one should benefit the other.  I just wish I had more Tinycore time available so I could also spend some of it in Core as well.

Hi. 6.4.1 released.

[Jason W]

Thanks, I will put it on the agenda.

I have not forgotten about this, will aim to work it in soon.
