Autostart Doesn't, erm... Autostart

Even after I moved the fdapython.py patch into the Rox-Session folder. 
Is that right?  I don't really know what to do with patches.

Or maybe the patch only works after a restart and not just logout/in. 
I'll try that.

It seems that autostart for the python version of Rox-Session only works 
with LibRox v.2.0.3.  Which is no longer available.

And, yes I did try downloading 2.0.5 and renaming it.

Ah, so it's not just me then!

I went back to 0.30 which seems to have no problems.

I thought *I* was going senile :)

Re: Translations for the web-site

Note: the interface is a bit confusing. Here's what you have to do:

- Click on the Translate tab
- Click "Add translation" for your language
- Translate the text and save

At this point, it appears that your translation has replaced the English.
However, there is a small link called "English" below it which returns to
the original - it is not lost!

Forcing programs to use 'rox' via exec, rather then using 0launch

I've been working on making ROX-Desktop programs work together better
on FreeBSD, and I've noticed that it seems that applets (eg,
ROX-Session or Edit) will always try to use 0launch to run rox, if the
0launch utility is available. However, since there is no 'feed' for
FreeBSD, it will have to fallback to the exec method, which does work
fine.

Is there an environment variable, or a .config setting, or something,
to force them to not even attempt to use 0launch for /just/ rox, even
if 0launch is in PATH?

There isn't an option for individual applets, but you can symlink ROX-Filer's
local feed like this:

$ ln -s /path/to/ROX-Filer.xml
"/usr/share/0install.net/native_feeds/http:##rox.sourceforge.net#2005#interfaces#ROX-Filer"

The FreeBSD package should probably do this for you. See:

http://0install.net/distribution-integration.html

Archive 2.2

To celebrate the return of sf.net's file release system, Archive 2.2
has been released.

You can install it by entering this URL into AddApp:

  http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Archive

To upgrade:

- Right click on the application and choose 'Versions...' from the menu.
- Click on 'Refresh all now'.
- Ensure 'Help test new versions' is selected.

For more information, including package downloads, see:

  http://roscidus.com/desktop/Archive

Changes in 2.2:

- Add support for the LZMA compression format (Bernard Jungen).

- Use unrar to extract rar files, not "rar"  Rar is shareware. If you
  download rar for linux from the official site, you'll find that you
  can only use it for 40 days. Therefore, use the free unrar program
  instead (Weakish Jiang).

- Bugfix: Don't unescape paths.  Archive supports 'file:' URLs as well
  as normal file paths. If a path starts with '/', assume it is a local
  path and don't unescape % sequences (e.g. don't convert %20 to space).
