Updating fluff, flit, and flpicsee updates to fltk-1.4

[MikeLockmoore]

Looking good, a few comments:

Maybe the configuration files would be better saved in ~/.config/name (i.e. ~/.config/flit/flit.conf) rather than ~/?

If there is no sound enabled (the default for me) saving the flit config results in a seg fault and an empty conf file

If I open a large image in flpicsee it selects 25% zoom, but the title bar is off the screen with 1366x768 using flwm classic and I need to use <ctrl-m> x2 to get it back.

Thanks for your feedback!  I agree the ~/.config location would be better housekeeping.  I can move to that for both Fluff and Flit.

I'll try to troubleshoot your 'no sound' configuration crash.

Are you saying that a really big image is just going with 25% zoom in FlPicsee, even if that is not zoomed out enough to keep the full frame on-screen?  What happens if you use the right-click menu and select "nice" or whole-image, or fill zoom levels? How big is the original image?

I'll try to investigate your issues and work on your suggestions in coming days.

In the latest fluff, there's an issue with not resetting the file list display when using the back button.  ...
I think when the back button is clicked it should either re-select the previously selected file in the target directory or should reset the file list display to the to the first file in the list (as determined by the sort order).

Leee, I've implemented the "reset the file list display to the first file in the list" approach and it seems to work.  However, I noticed during testing that some filess have properties that are difficult to access, leading to 'stat64( )' warnings on the console if you start Fluff from the command-line, and even worse, Fluff will crash if displaying the File Properties dialog box for one of these bad files and then click the "Info" button.  I need to investigate that and develop a more robust way of handling that situation.

I tried looking at properties on a few files in my home directory but the Info button wasn't enabled for any of them.
Eventually, I selected a symlink ( /etc/sysconfig/tcedir ) and the Info button was enabled on the properties dialog.
Clicking the Info button did not crash fluff (and no messages had been generated on the console) but the only visible action was that, in the file list, fluff navigated to the tce directory as if I had double clicked on the symlink.  Is this the expected behavior,

The files I was having trouble with were things like /proc/16/cwd and /proc/16/root.  The libc function stat64() to look up file properties like file ownership and access permissions can sometimes fail, so in recent versions of Fluff you can see "stat64(): permission denied" messages or similar on the command-line, and you get blank line in the file details window besides the file name for the affected particular files.  But apparently these files are links to other directories, so the info button gets enabled.  I'm not sure what I intended at this point with the info button... but jumping to the linked folder seems weird and probably not what I intended before.  I'll look at this in more detail in the next day or so.  I may remove the button or rename it.  Thanks again for testing and providing feedback!

Short, but exciting update... I've been working with the Core Team to host more of my FLTK projects in the Tiny Core Linux github repos!  The latest work-in-progress version of Fluff is available here, if you want to download and build it yourself and maybe even make pull requests for changes you would like to contribute:

https://github.com/tinycorelinux/fluff

Flit and FlPicsee are also setup, but I've not merged my latest code updates yet, so I don't recommend pulling down these apps just yet.  Watch this space for updates!

Before I request adding a new version of Fluff to the official TinyCore extensions repo, I want to add the "any file" button as Leee suggested and also make some of the recent changes to work with fractional scaling and FLTK 1.4 conditionally compileable so that a usable version of Fluff with the UI updates and some robustness fixes can be available in the 32-bit FLTK 1.3-based Tiny Core system, as well as support building for ARM64 RaspPi TC, although I'll need a partner to test on PiCore since I don't have that kind of hardware.

New version 1.1.7 of Fluff is available in the github repo (https://github.com/tinycorelinux/fluff).  This version has a build script updates to support additional TC platforms such as PiCore, and brings many version 1.1.6 features to the 32-bit i686 version of TinyCore that is still using FLTK 1.3 graphics rather than the 1.4. 

What does this mean?  The biggest difference is that FLTK 1.3 does not support built-in fractional scaling of GUI applications, so you can't zoom the size of Fluff in the 32-bit version like you can the 64-bit version, but other recent changes to the button layout, history navigation, and config file location are all the same.

If you build and run this new version and notice issues, you are welcome to report them here or post it on the github repo.  If it seems working well for people, I'll request official update of the Fluff extension in the TCE repos in the next few weeks.

Since there wasn't a fluff extension previously, posted to the piCore-16.x repo

The piCore64 version of fluff is significantly smaller if

Is there a way to list folders before files in fluff?
