But I install from source - another slow dial-up connection - and ROX-Filer 2.3 demands shared-mime-info 0.16 in order to compile. But the link only points to 0.15 or older. With the result: checking that shared-mime-info (version >= 0.16) is installed... no configure: error: Current version is only 0.15 Did I miss a trick here? Is it somewhere else? Thanks for any help you can give me. -- /Bob |

I think I may have found a bug in rox-filer 2.3. During and after downloading a file via firefox, sometimes the file size is not being updated in rox. For example: filename: guile-www-2.1.3.tar.gz rox window reported file size (even after refresh or opening new rox window): 8085B xterm (ls -l) file size: 194916 (this is the correct size) I've been noticing this since I've upgraded from rox-filer 2.2 a couple of days ago. I also updated icewm to version 1.2.23 at the same time, if that is any help. Peter |

I just tried to reproduce this by downloading ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.gz -- which is just over 6MB -- using yafc. As it was downloading I had a Filer window open, showing extra details. The file size sat at 100K as the file was downloading (refresh didn't help) but once it finished downloading the Filer reported the correct size.

With respect to the incorrect downloaded file sizes I'm seeing in ROX filer 2.3, they are before and after the file has finished downloading (but not always - small files often have the correct size, but large files usually don't). Using the refresh button or opening a new window does not help either. However, if I shutdown my X desktop (rox pinboard/icewm) and restart X, ROX filer shows the correct file sizes. This is a new behavior that I did not see with version 2.2. If the problem is not in ROX 2.3, then perhaps it's in the new version (1.2.23) of icewm that I'm using. Peter |

This bahvior would be independent of the window manager. As your second mail stated the issue is likely to be with the dnotify logic. On a related note I just noticed something similar with respect to thumbnails. For as long as I can remember, ROX-Filer doesn't update a thumbnail when the corresponding image is modified and saved (although it "would be nice" if ROX-Filer did). I could get around this just by hitting refresh to regenerate the new thumbnail. However now it appears that even hitting refresh doesn't have an affect. Try it: - make sure ROX is displaying thumbnails - open a ROX-Filer window with the thumbnail of an image to modify; don't close the window - open the image in GIMP or whatever - make changes and save the image - note that thumbnail is not automagically updated (but would be nice if it was) - hit refresh button; thumbnail still not updated. It appears that the thumbnail is updated when the window is closed and reopened. (Hmmm... perhaps the thumbnail *is* updated when changes are made to the image, just not re-displayed???..... YES! I can confirm this to be true. After modifying an image, a 'find ~/.thumbnails/ -mmin -1' implies the thumbnail has been updated, but the ROX-Filer window doesn't re-display it.)

I took a quick look at the differences in the dnotify logic in ROX 2.2 -vs- 2.3. It appears that a conditional was incorrectly coded in 2.2 main.c to use the dnotify_wakeup function as a flag. Since this "flag" would always return true, the dnotify_wakeup function would always be called. The conditional was changed in 2.3 to use the dnotify_wakeup_flag (present in 2.2, but apparently not used in any conditional) to determine whether or not the dnotify_wakeup function is called. Perhaps the problem I am seeing with incorrect downloaded file sizes is due to a problem with a toggling of dnotify_wakeup_flag? As it does not appear that any other dnotify changes were made in dir.c and main.c from ROX 2.2 to ROX 2.3, maybe the toggling of the dnotify_wakeup_flag was not correct in 2.2 (but not noticed, because it wasn't actually used to make any decisions).
