Resolution

This doesn't seem to work at all now, I just get an empty box where the
resolution list used to be.

However, xrandr -q quite happily reports all the resolutions that are
available.

Currently running debian lenny

Have you got the latest version of Resolution? Xrandr's output format
changed for 1.2 and I updated Rsolution to cope with it at some point.

Some questions

I like very much rox-filer and I use it all days, but I have some things to ask and suggest.


If you can change permissions easily in "properties"...why exists the dificult option "permissions"?

If you can see size of a directory in "properties"...why exists the option "count"?

If you click in a file or directory, it is supouse that you want doing something with that file or directory, then ...why is it showed "next click"? it would be more easy if the options inside "next clic" were in the main menu directly. And if you click in a white space of the filer then should appears "display", "options", "windows", "help"...

Why find a file by content is so dificult? I think that the 99% times I looked something was by name or by content and optionaly with the recursive option available. Find module in rox is anti-intuitive. And the same thing could be told with the mass-rename module.

Is there any option for autohide of panels?

Is there any option for hide the main bar? (for an only keyboard use of for displaying permanently a directory, for example, /media)

I know that it was a past determination, but why not could be an option to make the desktop another folder possible?

Is there any easy way for changing main menu? Is there a lot of options that I never use and I would like hide them and add others like "open a root window". Some xml or so? or you have to recompile rox?

Is there any plan for introducing dbus/hal in order to automount devices in rox desktop?
(by the way, instructions of roscidus.com wiki doesn't work very well)


Thanks.

It lets you change the permissions of folder contents recursively, and
to change the permissions of multiple files at once. This dialog could
certainly be done better, though - for example, if it were modelled off
the one in Nautlius' properties dialog. 

> If you can see size of a directory in "properties"...why exists the
> option "count"?
Select two files in a folder, and go Properties. It will open two
dialogs - one for each file. 'Count' will count the total size of
everything selected. 

> Is there any option for autohide of panels?
Sortof - you can let other windows cover it or not in each panel's
properties.

I at one point started to code a Properties app in python to address
these two issues, among others (http://riscque.net/Properties ), but
it's kindof (read: extremely) flaky, and I've nine tenths changed my
mind on this being the best solution. I think a better way might be to
relegate 'Count' and most of the current Properties information to a
tooltip (which for one file would say 'Foo.zip 500kb' and for multiple
would say '3 items 1.5mb'), and to do all fiddling with permissions
from the Permissions dialog, which would be fixed to behave more like
nautilus' than like chmod(1).

> I know that it was a past determination, but why not could be an

+1. It would be nice to have this as a command-line option, eg
'rox --desktop=$HOME'. This way, it would be possible to keep the
pinboard options still for people who really want that.

> Is there any plan for introducing dbus/hal in order to automount

> wiki doesn't work very well)
I do this with ivman ; put the attached script (which I
downloaded from somewhere long since forgotten) somewhere in $PATH, and
add the following to ~/.ivman/IvmConfigProperties.xml :
    <!-- ROX automount+display on pinboard stuff -->
    <ivm:Match name="ivm.mountable" value="true">
        <ivm:Property name="hal.volume.is_mounted">
            <ivm:Action value="true" exec='rox.panelput Add
"$hal.volume.mount_point$"' /> <ivm:Action value="false"
exec='rox.panelput Remove "$hal.volume.mount_point$"' /> </ivm:Property>
    </ivm:Match>

When you plug things in that pmount can handle, they will be
automounted as you, and an icon will appear in the top left corner of
your pinboard.

Just did a double check on this. I have Resolution version 0.2. I can't
find a later one. Also confirmed that the problem arises on two
competely different computers.

My copy also says 0.2, but I probably neglected to update AppInfo.xml as
well as upload a new tarball, let alone update the 0install feed. Try
checking it out from svn.

I've just uploaded Resolution 0.3. I've made the tarball structure
compatible with 0install's customary structure (the root is
resolution-0.3/Resolution rather than just Resolution) but when updating
the URL in the feed note the suffix is now .tar.gz instead of .tgz.

Just erm... 0installed the new feed to see if it'd work with my system (the previous versions didn't) and it does.

Fantastic :-D
