Re: [Gprename-users] Fwd: Support issues

[<zu...@gm...>]

Hi ! Indeed much is missing with GPRename. I'm not developping it 
anymore as I hate GTK-Perl. Someone should port it to Python instead. I 
just don't have the time.

Yes --version is missing, not sure if it really helps, the version is in 
the Help / About. If you want --version, just code it and send a patch, 
I will include it.

Yes missing a .deb in the downloads, I don't have much experience with 
it, too much trouble for me. I used to do ebuild files for Gentoo back 
then but it was so complicated crazy I just gave up. You can just run 
sudo apt install gprename though.

When GPRename started, github didn't exist at the time. Don't have much 
time to go to github. The code is free, if you want to port it to 
github, go ahead. If you make me Administrator on the github side, I 
could even delete the whole thing on sourceforge or just point it to 
github which would be better.

For the right-click crash issue, I guess it depends on how it was 
installed. By default, there is no right-click in the GUI. What if you 
start it from a terminal? Does it crash? Terminal is handy because there 
is an error message. I don't have Ubuntu / LXDE so cannot test why it 
crash but they are probably passing a wrong argument. GPRename is 
fragile with the arguments you give it to.

Not sure about the "no display", what do you mean?

There is no unstable branch as it is not being developed much. A few 
patch here and there by the community.

I think it shows in Accessory because in bin/gprename.desktop it's in 
the Categories=Utility, I think it makes sense but to each his own. You 
could always download the latest version, change the category and 
compile it yourself to be in another category. I personally don't like 
System Tools as this should be about the OS. I know BOINC and VirtualBox 
are in there but personally I think it's wrong, they are not software 
that can configure your system (OS).
