robc:
Just tried out the new rc. Looks great, one suggestion:
When I use this command:
--- Code: ---~$ tce-load -wil bash
--- End code ---
I get:
--- Code: ---bash is already downloaded!
--- End code ---
I know that it is already downloaded, but I still want bash to be installed. Could tce-load be updated to install the extension if it is already downloaded?
Edit: I think I found a bug with wbarconf. It does not remove some icons. nvidia-settings is an example, another is bibletime.
roberts:
There are several ways to load existing extensions from your tce/optional/
Using your example of bash.tcz extension:
1. tce-run bash
2. tce-load -i bash
3. tce-load -is bash
4. Use AppsBrowser click Local button, select bash.tcz
5. Use the new FileMgr, fluff.
a) Click the TCE button
b) on RHS Double click the optional dir
c) naviagte to bash.tcz
d) Either double click bash.tcz or click the Run button
I just tried bibletime.tcz and experienced no problems with wbarconf removing or restoring the icon.
Are you upgrading from rc3 or an earlier version of Tiny Core?
Did you follow the instructions for combining the ondemand/ and ondemand.ico/ ?
Please provide more info so that I am able to reproduce the issue.
Guy:
Just installed rc4
1. Noticed the same bug with Apps Audit - > On Demand as discussed previously. Extensions listed twice, after running On Boot.
2. I think the text editor should have word wrap.

I just tried a base norestore boot of 3.3rc4 and was not able to remove either bibletime or nvidia-settings icons from wbar using wbarconf.
