hi all,... ...is it possible to have a global pinboard configuration which is system-wide used by rox-filer at least while being started by a new user for the first time? situation: i am currently remaking the Knoppix Live-Linux distribution to carry xfce4/rox rather than kde 3.1 as desktop, so i created a working rox desktop configuration (custom wallpaper, several icons for mountpoints et al) and put all this stuff to /etc/skel. when a new user is created, all the skel stuff is copied to her / his home directory - fine. unfortunately (i created this profile as user"knoppix"), no matter what my new user's name is like, the "home" symbol seen on the rox pinboard always opens /home/knoppix rather than /home/<username>. already tried to put things like $HOME and "~" into the .rox_choices/pb_Desktop file to make "home" point to the _real_ home directory of the current user - no success so far. how can i change this behaviour? tia, have a nice day everyone and thanks for creating such amazing software. cheers, kris -- these outrageous events break through the peaceful silence... into a fragile community enters madness, insanity. |

Works fine here with '~'. Try setting it with 'Edit item'; you might be editing the wrong file... -- Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net tal00r at ecs.soton.ac.uk tal197 at users.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 |

GTK+-2.2.2 broke it (see the download page). It's fixed in CVS (both in HEAD and back-ported to Branch-2-0). -- Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net tal00r at ecs.soton.ac.uk tal197 at users.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 |

When my users run rox-filer first time, the global pinboard is copied to the local copy in ~/Choices. Is there any way to actualize the local copy when I change the global one, instead of deleting the local copy? Thanks in advance. to...@uc...

The user's pinboard is stored at $CHOICES/ROX-Filer/pb_default where $CHOICES is the user's Choices directory and 'default' can be replaced by the name of the pinboard as in the command rox --pinboard=default I'm not sure where the global pinboard is. But, if you change the global pinboard and want to update those changes to your user accounts, just copy the global pinboard file so that it overwrites the one in your user accounts. __________________________________ Yahoo!

Well, I was thinking on "merge" pinboards, no replace the user pinboard by the global one. Some users in multiuser linux servers have the pinboard (desktop) organized at their own way. I want to respect this, but adds some icons as "mandatory" when I install more rox applications. We are thinking in xls to merge the user and global pinboard xml files when the user logon, but before we need to know if there is a ready made way to do this. Thanks in advance.
