nifty volume control for jwm
curaga:
Hmm.. Before the latest changes I had the mixer device always open. Then I changed it to only open when needed. Just now I took a look at several Window Maker dockapps, and they do it similarly, only when needed. I'm out of clues now as to what could cause a freeze; certainly didn't get any when playing in XMMS and changing the volume with both just after another. If you have any hints, please shout :)
jpeters:
I'll see if I can get any freezes without tc-mixer loaded, just to make sure. This brings back windoz memories,and why I like tiny. I have mikshaw's script loaded to my keys...a few lines of code...fast, clean, no conflicts. A simple slider in Borland, visual C++, etc., involves all these support files, messages back and forth to the windows manager, etc, etc. Suddenly things stop working, and it's hard to figure out where the problem is.
Edit: this line of thinking must be correct, because suddenly I became a "full member". BTW, I've got multiple sound apps going simulateoulsy, while abusing the volume controls & the script control (while copying a score w/ lilypond)....but can't get it to freeze without tc-mixer loaded.
jls:
I made /usr/bin/mixer.sh:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 1
exec tc-mixer
but it's not working, then when I install a new tce the volume goes out of the jwm tray

You should know that member status as shown on the forums is most likely automatically set according to the number of posts you've made (currently 100, which is a common milestone). While this can be a useful feature in separating people with true interest from those who are just spammers, it doesn't actually reflect your worth. I'm guessing you should be aware that your participation and contribution here and previously on DSL is enough to let you know your worth.
Then again, if you were jest joking, well, then...roffle.

duhh.......
Edit: I don't use a lot of smiley faces; assuming (rightly or wrongly) that anyone smart enough to be on this board would immediately know something like the above.....
