New filer release - 1.1.10 is on the web now (source and Linux-x86 binary archives at present): http://rox.sf.net/rox_download.php3 Quite a lot of changes this time, but should be more stable than 1.1.9. I'm not planning on adding any major features to the filer until after 1.2.0 (the next stable release). Until then, it's mainly just fixing bugs= ! Changes since 1.1.9: - 'Create Thumbs' is now 'Show Thumbnails' and can be turned on and off. Thumbnails are loaded in the background, and a progress bar is displaye= d in the filer window. - New 'Show image thumnails' option to set this as the default (requested by Kristian Rink). - In action windows, standard error from moving, copying and mounting operations is captured and displayed, giving a more useful message (Stephen Watson). - File groups are now saved (automatically). - Added a 'Quiet' check box to action windows. The Quiet button now turns on the check box and does 'Yes'. - Put all the flags in the options box on one line, along with the Quiet button (looks neater). - Reorganised the Options box somewhat. - Icons are dragged from their corners again (requested by Liav Asseraf). - Added 'All' and 'Thumbs' status flags to title bar. - The old 'AppMenu' file is no longer checked for (use AppInfo.xml instead). - Directory icons are now named '.DirIcon', not '.DirIcon.png'. - Added Version SOAP RPC. Unknown SOAP methods now get a SOAP Fault response. Updated SOAP namespaces. - Improved error reporting when there are multiple errors at once. - Improved window auto-sizing code when details are on. - New 'Single click to open' option for the pinboard (requested by Michael). Gtk+-2.0 API support: - With Gtk+-2.0, the effective permissions are now underlined (like they are with Gtk+-1.2). - Support for Gtk+-1.3.12. - Replaced old Gtk+-1.2.x text widget in action windows with new one. Doesn't automatically scroll yet, due to Gtk+ bugs. - All displayed text now uses pango for nice AA fonts. - Updated to new version (0.4) of the thumbnails standard. - Gtk+-2.0 uses UTF-8 for strings. Translation files are now converted to UTF-8 as they are loaded. Bugfixes: - Using Shift to open the Send To menu without a selected file stopped the toggle menu items from working! - Closing a window while creating thumbnails caused a crash. - Added a missing #ifdef for the regex code (Couderc Damien). - Closing a window with a keypress caused warnings to appear (reported by Fabien Coutant). - Fix for compiling problem on NetBSD (Eric Gillespie, Jr.). Translations: - Updated Polish translation (Krzysztof Krzyzaniak). - Updated French translation (Vincent Lef=E8vre). - Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).

Good stuff, Thomas! The Icon code is FAST once again. Thank You! (the refresh rate was getting annoying in 1.1.9 :) > >- Directory icons are now named '.DirIcon', not '.DirIcon.png'. This broke backwards-compatability :( It would have been nice if you'd kept both in but only documented .DirIcon. What about 'AppIcon.XPM' for application directories? Any plans to make it simply 'AppIcon?' Great work, as always, and great improvements! -- Greg -- Gregory Spath gs...@fr... irc://freefall.homeip.net/mtb $AOL_ScreenName = 'fr33f411' |

Hello. I have built RPM packages for rox-1.1.10 on a Red Hat Linux 7.2 (with upgrades) system. The package can be found at http://www.uber.com.br/romildo/index.html I ask Thomas to make the packages available directly from the rox site (instead of puting a link to the above page in the rox download page). =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D $ rpm -qi --changelog rox Name : rox Relocations: (not relocateable= ) Version : 1.1.10 Vendor: (none) Release : 1 Build Date: Sat 29 Dec 2001 0= 8:03:13 PM BRST Install date: Sat 29 Dec 2001 08:22:03 PM BRST Build Host: darling.h= ome.br Group : User Interface/Desktops Source RPM: rox-1.1.10-1.src.= rpm Size : 969167 License: GPL Packager : Jos=E9 Romildo Malaquias <ro...@ic...> URL : http://rox.sourceforge.net Summary : A fast and powerful graphical file manager Description : ROX-Filer is a fast, powerful, and easy to use graphical file manager.

You can always symlink .DirIcon to .DirIcon.png if you want.

I thought of that after I posted :) It definitely makes more sense to simply use .DirIcon all around. -- Greg -- Gregory Spath gs...@fr... irc://freefall.homeip.net/mtb $AOL_ScreenName = 'fr33f411' |

However, I have some questions.

Now, libgnome-vfs0 was not installed on my system, so, indeed, my rox.deb's were not compiled with vfs-support. So, I have just installed libgnome-vfs0. But when I compile rox and do a "rox -v" I read : | Old VFS support... No (incompatible with Large File Support) Grep'ping through the manual of rox shows me the following : | Use of libvfs is strongly discouraged; use AVFS instead.

My question : When I make a .deb for ROX-Filer 1.1.10, what is the best way to compile rox? -- Met vriendelijke groetjes - Jan Wagemakers - ... Too much religion Too much hate --Klinik |

The best option would be to suggest the AVFS package, if Debian has one. Otherwise, it's up to you. If you disable large file support then you can't count or display the size of a large file correctly. libvfs isn't much use anyway, as the application you're dragging to has to support it too. With AVFS, it works with everything. -- Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net ta...@ec... ta...@us... |
