* Changed wbar ondemand to be dynamic. ( You may remove ondemand.ico/*.ico as not used)
* Added length check of 8 or more for entering passwords, getpasswd function.

Added directory structure to TCE DIR ondemand.ico/ which contains appname.img

where:
appname.img is a generic image extension for the actual extracted icon

Allows for very fast booting system, with icon loading of selected ondemand items.

You must re-create any existing ondemand items via the updated appsaudit GUI or ondemand CLI script.

Files likely in your backup that need to be updated from rc3:
/opt/.filetool.lst  - Need to add new /opt/bootsync.sh

Just a reminder:

Note: ~/.OnDemand directory has been moved from the home directory to the user specified tce directory as ondemand/  Programs and supported window managers have been updated to reflect this change. If you use a ondemand and a window manager other than the default flwm_topside then you will have to use an rc version of that window manager from http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/3.x/release_candidates/window-managers/

I have just tested again, updated, and refreshed the above window mangers in preparation for 3.1 final.

No change to any binaries, only adjustments for the relocated ondemand directory of 3.1.

I collaborated with bmarkus on updating openbox... I think in the end he forgot to include the menu scripts you developed for tcl-3.0. I made my own tcz including the scripts and am using that. I wonder if I could send you the tcz for inclusion in the supported wms? It would like the other wms, need updating its menu scripts. Or perhaps just the scripts?

[roberts]

If I recall, openbox is the LXDE window manager, so is there any conflict with standard openbox menus created from any of tc style scripts and the automated freedesktop items via LXDE?

I would be happy to convert please send me your tcz.

I didn't try openbox in LXDE. What I do know, the startup script was added by bmarkus for integration with LXDE. As far as I can determine, LXDE generates its own menus, with categories etc.

[roberts]

What I found was a huge static menu.

All of the /usr/local/etc/skel/.config that I had setup to support dynamic menus when DESKTOP=openbox have been removed.

I do see the LXDE test to not set DESKTOP to openbox, therefore I don't understand the removal of openbox Tiny Core dynamic menus. I will have more work to do to re-implement.

[jur]

Sorry. I think I must have forgotten exactly what I did on my machine. Please hold on - the menu scripts which you created before are there in my setup, I will see what I have done to implement...

[Jason W]

Let me look in some of the old repo backups to see if I have an old openbox.tcz available.

[jur]

I sent a corrected version based on the previous stuff, so already sorted.

[roberts]

I have what I need. Thanks!

I'm trying to use ondemand with the firefox extension and it isn't working as expected.   

The on demand script that is created by /usr/bin/ondemand is this:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
2>/dev/null read TCEDIR < /opt/.tce_dir || exit 1
if [ ! -e /usr/local/tce.installed/firefox ]; then
  tce-load -is $TCEDIR/optional/firefox.tcz
fi
[ $(which /usr/local/firefox) ] && exec /usr/local/firefox-official/firefox

The extension is being mounted, however it doesn't start firefox because of the "which /usr/local/firefox" on the last line which returns false. 

   Line 75 in ondemand is:  echo '[ $(which '"${BINARY%%-*}"') ] && 'exec "$BINARY" >> "$FILE",  so it looks like the "${BINARY%%-*}" part is stripping off everything after the "-" in the path to firefox. 

[roberts]

Yeah, that is why I use "_" and not "-"
As "-"  to me indicates flag options of which there are many, e.g., Opera extension.

However, good find. I will address before final. Thanks.

[roberts]

Adding a space before the "-" the string chopping fixes the dash in BINARYbug.
Done.

[Jason W]

Would it help if we used the underscore in extension names instead of dash?

[roberts]

Not necessary, it was my bad.
