hi all rox users, i just began playing with this nifty file manager in debian. im having some complications when i want to specify which app should open certain files. i want to open mp3s with xmms so i right-clicked on one and specified the "Set Run Action..." option so it would open with xmms, until here all works fine, xmms plays the mp3s. some other mp3s on a mounted windows partition wont play with this system though :(. rox doesn't diplay their icon as other playable mp3s and when i right-click on them and want to specify the "Set Run Action..." option it wont let me and give me the "You can only set the run action for a regular file" error. these files are normal! they come from windows, might it be that? if i copy them over to linux's partition it wont work either i also tried to change their permissions, no luck. this also happens to .avi files in the same way....it's like if it wouldn't want to open certein files....i dont understand.... i have rox version 1.2. any help would be greatly apretiated, thanks! -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net |

hi i was wondering how come rox doesn't give the possibility of changing directory in some sort of location bar. i know im not explaingin this well, i mean something like IE or GMC have. this would be very useful for changing dirs that are "far way from another" maybe this would be an interesting feature in future releases, cheerz for the cute app! -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net |

Hi, I am very new to ROX, using it for a day now and absolutely enthusiastic about it ! My test box is now running ROX on RH 7.2 with Ximian, just got rid of Nautilus, kept the rest of the Ximian desktop. Using Sawfish as window manager. GTK+ version is 1.2.10. Question : is there any way to replace the plain color of the ROX filer window's background with a pixmap ? Do I need the complete ROX session manager ? Or a different window manager ? I would like to use a structure designed for a custom look we made for all Linux desktops in the company I work for. (Yes, we *do* use Linux on desktops where possible, 7 already, two coming very soon, still 5 more M$ die-hards to go !) Thanks ! |

You can't do it per-window yet, but you can set a custom background pixmap using gtkrc properties. I don't remember exactly what to set (I think it is for container class objects?), but you do it using ~/Choices/ROX-Filer/Styles More help on GTK styles can be found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtk-resource-files.html I'm sure somebody else can give you a specific example for ROX (I used to do it myself, but I got rid of that config :(, I just can't remember it :( -- Greg -- Gregory Spath gs...@fr... irc://freefall.homeip.net/mtb AIM: 'fr33f411' |

I have taken a quick look at kdm, but at the moment I don't understand how it works. And, for example if you install gnome-session it also doesn't appear in the kdm login menu.

For the list of available sessions it has it's own configuration file named 'kdmrc'. This is in the same location as the other KDE configuration files (do 'locate kdmrc'). It is in the usual KDE ini style format. You should understand it easily. The list of available sessions is auto-generated under some distributions by a specific tool. Mandrake, for example, uses the script 'chksession' (package mandrake_desk) for this. This script is also used in the /etc/X11/Xsession script to find available sessions. Basically, you have to provide a configuration file for your session manager under /etc/X11/wmsession.d Hope that helps, cheers Chris -- ... cause we all have wings, but some of us don't know why!

I have lots of directories with spaces in, nested ones too. Rox has no problem wit these.
