Tiny Core Extensions > TCE Bugs

all fluff 1.08 versions (all TC versions, both x86 and x86_64) have bugs

<< < (2/4) > >>

curaga:
The old FLTK also didn't have that dep. That, plus the fact you get cursor changes elsewhere, means it's not that, but something else changed.

nick65go:
I am not a programmer, therefore I am just guessing: in the transition from fltk-1.1 to fltk-1.3, some source code section was "commented out", or an trigger-event not activated for cursor movement etc. But is was good behavior in the past fltk-1.1 in TC4. And I kindly ask the TC developers to "put it back".

The main attraction to TC is maximum functionality with minimum complication/dependencies, all "oven-ready to use".

It was a time (in the past) when choosing small/efficient software and polishing it was more important than to increase the software collection. I think we have (almost) all the necessary software already. New versions  are in need only for bug corrections. I believe speed increase, for the same old hardware, is near null. (For expensive/fast hardware, a huge collection of bloated/free software are all over the places).

Hi nick65go
I uploaded version 1.0.9 to the TC12 x86 repository. Please try it out and and see if it's any better.
If you say it looks ok, I'll upload a 64 bit version and update some of the other repos.

Hi Rich,
Thank you, you did a nice work, fluff 1.0.9 does not have that button-bug anymore! I tested that (all, i think) menus and buttons are OK now. I see you did a nice polish by updating the about and help strings to new version, also :)
Still, there is one bug old/new: the reported folder size is wrong calculated.
Ex: with mouse click/select the /bin folder. And press F7 (or button Props.) and you will see in the popup frame:
"Dir contents: 67 files, about 30.5 MB (link omitted)"
Or: select all (Crtl+A) files from /bin, and in the status bar (bottom-left) is"67 files selected (30.31 MB)"
PS: xfe filemanager says /bin has "588.7 kB in root"

EDIT: another bug: if the selected file is a sym-link to a FILE, then the "INFO" button has no good use.
ex: test it for the fie /linuxrc  (a sym-link to /bin/busybox)

There is only one thing worse than no version number, and that is displaying an incorrect version number.

Fluff uses a script (/usr/local/bin/fluff_fc.sh) to calculate that. The script uses the command:

--- Code: ---du -shL /bin
--- End code ---
to calculate that. The problem is that  -L  switch. It tells  du  to follow symlinks. /bin is mostly symlinks pointing back
to the busybox executable so the size of the executable keeps getting added instead of the size of the symlink.
The busybox version of  du  follows symlinks with  -L.
The coreutils version appears to have a bug. In TC4 and TC10 it does not follow symlinks with  -L.

If no one objects, I think the  -L  switch should be removed so sizes are calculated based on symlink size, and not
the size of what they are pointing to.
