Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 

TIP:
To handle tar (zip lha 7z) archives, it is possible to use a program called file-roller...
http://maemo.org/packages/view/file-roller/

And then add some lines to mimehandling.conf like these for each extension you want.

.tar.gz=file-roller @ &
.tgz=file-roller @ &

However, if you prefer ease of fingeruse, and dont bother by files outside of /home/user/MyDocs/ then you can do the same with Xarchiver too.

.tar.gz=xarchiver @ &
.tgz=xarchiver @ &

Or, if you just want to unpack the archive without questions, then do.

.tar.gz=tar -xvzf @
.tgz=tar -xvzf @

The lack of a & at the end means that deskypplet will wait for the command to finish...

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 

Question to all of you that have installed the latest version.

First of all, did the postinstall script work well?

For those of you who have had some more experience with the new version...
What do you think about the "fat finger mode=0" where the actions for icons and text get reversed when the fast vs advanced mode changes?
-Should it be locked so that the icon always is launch and the text always shows the menu? I think this way around is most logical...
...This does ofcourse not affect those of you who prefer "fat finger mode=1"

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 

If someone wants to try out/test the new version (first page for news). Download this package, unpack and move the files to their folders.
We are looking for valuable feedback. Deskypplet will be updated in the next days/week.

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet

show upbutton=0

options. Usable also in deskyconf. Toggle buttons in files/folders menu

This was really silent....

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 

Please provide a (silent) update :)

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 

Ok will look into it ;)

I saw that you can write python stuff, would you be interested in writing a .desktop creator , and a copy from template handler.

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 

Sorry, i'm not that into python. Did just basic stuff years ago. Only used Qt/++ recently. Hopefully you'll find someone more fitting for this task.

Deleting files doesn't work...looks like it does but file is still there.

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 

Filenames with spaces is a problem i need to fix in all of the scripts before the next release.
The script only remembers the first part before the space, and silently drops the rest of the name.
(I have used $1 where i should have used $@)

-But except for the "a-space-in-filename" bug , i think delete works fine, or?
