MusicBox 0.0.10

MusicBox now runs with Python 2.3 and on FreeBSD.  If you've had trouble with these before please try it now.

Also added Track # and Comment tag display  Also <track> can be used in a regex to parse track numbers from
filenames when no tag info is available.

get it here http://khayber.dyndns.org/rox/musicbox/

Re: [rox-devel] Mail program & a bit about ROX

Actually, that's kind of the point.  Why should the IM client keep a seperate
list of contacts?  That all it is, right?  Identification methods for
communicating with people.  I guess it has to do with different perceptions of
the same thing.  I see IM as instant email.  BTW, how is email only about
'what's been done'?  This email program hasn't been created, and its being
discussed in email.  ;) (note: I'm not trying to be an arse.  Just pointing out
different perceptions).

I'll tell you what.  I'll just wait for your email program, and add IM to it. 
lol...  Jk. Got to love OSS...

Good thoughts...

Re: AVFS does not compile with 2.4.21 (Mitchell, Nicholas)

This is a hack to get AVFS to compile if you get the following errors
when you try to do so:

/usr/include/linux/time.h:9: error: redefinition of `struct timespec'
/usr/include/linux/time.h:15: error: redefinition of `struct timeval'
make[1]: *** [mount.o] Error 1

Hack is edit out the following lines from time.h in /usr/include/linux

#ifndef _STRUCT_TIMESPEC
#define _STRUCT_TIMESPEC
struct timespec {
	time_t	tv_sec;		/* seconds */
	long	tv_nsec;	/* nanoseconds */
};
#endif /* _STRUCT_TIMESPEC */

struct timeval {
	time_t		tv_sec;		/* seconds */
	suseconds_t	tv_usec;	/* microseconds */
};

do something like

//#ifndef _STRUCT_TIMESPEC
//#define _STRUCT_TIMESPEC
//struct timespec {
//	time_t	tv_sec;		/* seconds */
//	long	tv_nsec;	/* nanoseconds */
//};

ROX-menu trouble

Does anybody get the message "Applet quit without ever creating a
widget!" when draggin' ROX-menu icon into the panel?

- All is 'ok' with other applets (clock and pager).
- More over: all is 'ok' with the same ROX-menu/Filer in other system
  (Slackware vs. CRUX)

Any suggestions?

That usually just means the applet crashed, which doesn't tell us much. 
Did you get any error messages with the dialog box? Will it run as an
application or is the problem just when you drag it to the panel?

So there's no problem on one system (Slackware?), but ROX-Menu won't
run on the other (CRUX?).  That's odd....  Are you sharing the same
binaries between both systems (shared disk partition, NFS, etc.)? 
Are these binaries that you built yourself, or did you download them?
 Are the two systems, perhaps, using different versions of GTK+? Are you
sharing the same Choices directory between the two systems?  If not,
have you tried running ROX-Menu with a fresh Choices directory (just
rename the existing one)?

Sorry to rattle off a list of questions like that.  I'm just trying to
get some more information to go on.

You could probably take this idea and make it more people-centric 
generally.  So your address book and instant messenger are merged into one 
and presented as a ROX-alike fake filer-window.

It would be an application, but styled to look like a ROX filer window.  
It would contain a directory-like entity for each of your contacts.  This 
could have an icon shaped like a persons silhouette (rather than a 
folder), which could be optionally replaced by a photo of the person.  The 
icon could have a green circle emblem (like the filer does with mounted 
drives) to indicate if the person was currently on-line in their IM.

Double clicking on a person entity would perhaps open a properties 
dialogue containing tabs for their vCard details, their IM details and 
maybe a history of IM messages exchanged with that person.

It could even be extended to cater for local users on your system or 
within NIS etc, allowing an administrator to set user groups, permissions, 
disk quotas, default shells etc for that user.

ROX-menu trouble

Applet works fine when running as application, but crushes when I drag
it to the panel. No error messages with the dialog box.

Sure.

No, systems reside on separate PC.

PG> Are these binaries that you built yourself, or did you download them?
Binaries were build myself, but I tried downloaded ones, too. The
effect is the same.
PG>  Are the two systems, perhaps, using different versions of GTK+?
Yes. Libraries from glib-2.2.1, gtk+-2.2.2 and pango-1.2.3 differs:
In Slack they have 0.200.1 suffix, in CRUX - 0.200.2
The first is working.

I've tried a fresh Choices directory right now. The effect is the
same.

Thanks for assistance.

Problems adding combo widget to OptionsBox


I'm trying to add a combo entry widget to OptionsBox.py.  Here's the function:

def build_combo_group(self, node, label, option):
		"""Build a list combo entry widget, only one of which may be selected.
		<combo-group name='...' label='...'>
		  <combo value='...' \>
		  <combo value='...' \>
		</combo-group>"""
		combos = []
		values = []

		box = g.HBox(False, 4)
		combo = g.Combo()

		if label:
			label_wid = g.Label(label)
			label_wid.set_alignment(1.0, 0.5)
			box.pack_start(label_wid, False, True, 0)
			box.pack_start(entry, True, True, 0)
		else:
			box = None

		"self.may_add_tip(combo, node)"

		combo.connect('changed', lambda e: self.check_widget(option))

		"build combo list"
		for cmb_option in node.getElementsByTagName('combo'):
			combos.append(cmb_option.getAttribute('value'))

Looks like a fault in the XML you added to Options.xml.  Can we see that?
