Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

This doesn't sound good, especially since it won't work even after a reflash.

What version are you installing?
Did it ever work?
When did it stop working?
After installation, could you list the output of these commands:

dpkg -S touchsearch
ls -a /home/user/.touchsearch/

Was TouchSearch the first thing you tried installing after the refresh?

Thanks!

Re TouchSearchBar;

It is certainly something I can play with, but no promises!

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

I'm using the latest one....I have only "extras testing" enabled.
It worked fine for awhile. I can't recall when it stopped working. perhaps when I was working on making a custom thumbnail (never got that to work by the way and followed instructions letter for letter).
After the recent reflash I installed everything in mass-installation mode using the backup app. so I doubt it was the first app to get on there.

here's the output:

2nd command:

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

Everything looks like it is installed OK. The only thing I can suggest is roving TouchSearch's settings dir:

rm -rf /home/user/.touchsearch/

Reboot, and see if this helps.

Concerning user-added search engines, that could have very well "broken" your TouchSearch. This is one of the many reasons I will be removing that feature in the next version. What I will be having in it's place is the ability to install search engines from touchsearch.org. There will be a "Search Engine Developer API" that people can use to develop search engines, and touchsearch.org will act as the testing and distribution source. This will make it easier for end-users to have a wide selection of search engines, while not requiring them to get down in the nitty gritty of the process.

Unfortunately, the next version probably won't be released until summertime (it will be a complete rewrite, so it'll take a while).

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

To fix the problem of invisible desktop type thingy you need to delete all of TouchSearch's settings.

To do this open the X-Terminal application and issue these two
commands:

rm /home/user/.touchsearch/search_engines.data
rm /home/user/.touchsearch/settings.conf

Then reinstall, reboot.

Hope this helps and works for you, it did for me.

Worked for me, Thanks!!

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

I'm glad it is working for everyone again!

A few days ago I released a new version to -testing that has, along with a few new features, an option to reset your search engine database. So if it is not appearing on the Desktop, you can go into the Desktop edit menu, click the wrench icon for TS, Configure, then Reset.

This should get you up and running without the need to enter commands in X-Terminal. :o

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

Thanks guys! working again. I missed it!!!

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

Having strange issue with TouchSearch 2.2 - I can't edit existing search engines. Basically when I see list of search engines, select any and press Edit button, nothing happens. Note that I did do "merge" once v2.2 was installed.

Suggestions?

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

Unfortunetely I had to do a few database changes in 2.2, so this might be causing the issue. Could you please send my the contents of ~/.touchsearch/ (like zip up the entire directory). You can email me it at:

bchiodo
Don't use this
at
Don't use this
gmail
Don't use this
dot
Don't use this
com

(yes, I'm paranoid about spam).

That way I'll be able to reproduce the issue and fix it. Thanks!
