ROX SOAP/RPC loss explained

   I tracked the problem down to the following, when my laptop goes online, the results of gethostbyname may
change as well.  Unfurtunately, this means that the property name used to find the running ROX-Filer no longer
matches.  I'd like to suggest that remote.c should not use our_host_name() to build the unique_id if /etc/machine-id
or /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is present.  The contents of those files should be used in preference to the hostname().

Thoughts?

SOAP RPC getting occasionally dropped

I run ROX-Filer 2.11 under Slackware 13.37 with fbpanel and PekWM, the supplied GTK+ is version 2.24, and I'm
starting my session from GDM or XDM depending on whether the box is Salix or vanilla Slackware.  Occasionally
ROX-Filer seems to be ignoring SOAP RPC requests.  I've run into this with rox -D and rox -x.  The difficulty in
diagnosing is that if I quit the filer and restart it, the problem vanishes; the new ROX-Filer responds to
the requests
just fine.  I suspect a race of some sort during startup, but I'm unsure what that could be between.

Ideas?

Coherent naming for backdrop styles

Hello there,

I had a very hard time trying to figure out what I was expected to write
to get a RPC command to actually set my wallpaper in a given mode. Of
course my first instinct was to look at the config file to find a hint,
as I could perfectly set it with rox' utility.

I was very surprised to find that what was called Centred in one was
Centre in the other one, and that's the same for others, though there
doesn't seem to be any generality here. As I still could manage to get
the 'Fit' mode to work (even after having commited atrocities like
'Fitted' or such), I proceeded to read the source code.

This is when I was flabbergasted to discover that Fit mode wasn't even
possible to set with a RPC command because its line had obviously been
forgotten.

I promised I searched a long time on the forum but I couldn't find any
topic mentioning that. Plus, it's not really a feature request or a bug
report, it's just a tiny mistake that takes no time to correct so I
really think it would've been corrected at once.

So here is the patch I propose to solve this issue and use the same
names everywhere (in the config and in the RPC commands).

Thanks a lot everybody and keep up the good work ! I've never found
anything quite like Rox among other file managers.

ROX-Filer focus problem still there

Probably this email needs attention by Thomas Leonard, thanks.

I originally reported an icon focus problem, that Thomas fixed, see
patch from Thomas:
http://repo.or.cz/w/rox-filer.git/commit/c2232d5075342347a8ff814ced5ce8b9e1cf64b9

...which did fix the problem, partly. However, even that fix no longer works.

It may be because Puppy Linux has progressed to GTK 2.24.8. Back then,
I think we were using GTK 2.18.x or 2.21.x.

Back then, after applying Thomas's patch, I found that there was still
a problem, that I reported:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3147977&group_id=7023&atid=107023

Note, not many ROX-Filer users are reporting this problem, as some
binary package maintainers, Debian included I think, also some
releases of Puppy Linux, have put in a work-around. If this is put
into /etc/profile:

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true

...this does fix it, however, I have had reports that this is a hack
that can upset some applications, can even upset ROX-Filer, cause a
crash.

I really don't want to have to resort to that hack. This problem has
been going on for such a long time, it would be great if it could be
finally fixed.

Rox Filer unable to compile on NetBSD (propably on OpenBSD too) (patch) (fwd)

Original post to mailing list bounced back because I was not subscribed,
so here you go:

---------- Forwarded message ----------
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:42:25 +0200 (EET)
From: Petri Laakso <petri.laakso <at> asd.fi>
To: rox-devel <at> lists.sourceforge.net
Subject: Rox Filer unable to compile on NetBSD (propably on OpenBSD too) (patch)

Hi

I was unable to build Rox Filer on NetBSD i386 from pkgsrc-2011Q4:

xtypes.c: In function 'xattr_init':
xtypes.c:62: error: 'RTLD_NOLOAD' undeclared (first use in this function)
xtypes.c:62: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
xtypes.c:62: error: for each function it appears in.)
*** Error code 1

I found that NetBSD or OpenBSD does not have RTLD_NOLOAD flag for dlopen,
so I just removed RTLD_NOLOAD's from xtypes.c and live happily after.
Is this correct fix? If this is a correct fix, could it be implemented on
upstream sources also?

Petri

Proposed fix:

demoni$ diff -uN xtypes.c.orig xtypes.c
--- xtypes.c.orig       2009-07-18 17:23:18.000000000 +0300

ja.po for 2.11

New ja.po trancelated.

Please marge this.

ROX-Filer and Glade

Some distributions are now shipping without libglade. To avoid problems:

- I added an explicit dependency on libglade to ROX-Filer's 0install
feed, so it will download libglade if you don't have it already
- I've switched from glade to GtkBuilder in the Git version

Creating a ROX application ...in TCL

On the page http://roscidus.com/desktop/Tutorials/Start there is
statement: "Of course, you can write ROX applications in any language
you choose". But the entire page is devoted to Python, and the
examples are started with invocations of the type: "import findrox",
"import rox" and so on.

Is it then really possible to "write ROX applications in any language"
- be it TCL - or "in any language as long, as there exist a library
for ROX", like the ones mentioned on the page
http://roscidus.com/desktop/taxonomy/term/12 ?

Rox's pinboard.

I like Rox very much but tend to use it more for its' pinboard capabilities.
I do wih one could move around the icons on the pinboard with a little more 
accuracy. They tend to jump from position to position.

Where in the code is this function handled and where might I get the latest Rox 
code ?

Thanks

Re: Updated Spanish Translation

2011/7/7 Jacob Salomón Preciado Preciado <jacsal <at> starmedia.com>:
> Updated spanish translation

-"Project-Id-Version: rox-filer-2.7.1 spanish\n"
+"Project-Id-Version: ROX-Filer 2.8.0\n"

This patch is really out-of-date. ROX-Filer 2.10 has been out for
ages, and the Spanish translation in Git is for 2.9.

To get the latest version, follow these instructions:
