Icon-set extension problemForum: User Feedback Topic: Icon-set extension problem started by: RoGuE_StreaK Posted by RoGuE_StreaK on May 01 2005,09:28
Been working on a replacement icon set, backed it all up with filetool.lst, has worked in the past, but I can't seem to get this extension to load with 1.0.1 (haven't tried it with earlier ones).The filename is DSL_Icons_1.0.1.tar.gz, and it's a backup of home/dsl/.xtdesktop When I select the extension and click "mydsl", the files don't extract. But if I double click the extension to open it up, go through the folders, select the content files, and copy over to .xtdesktop, all goes as planned. Any thoughts? Is "home/dsl" still simlinked to "ramdisk/home/dsl"? My settings backup seems to be working perfectly. Also, seems a few of my downloaded extensions, like TuxRacer, don't show up in the installed mydsl menu when loaded, but typing "tuxracer" in the xterm works... As far as I know, I have the latest versions of the extensions. Oh, and OT, did I read somewhere that there is a ppt viewer (converter?) built into 1.0.1? Can't find it... (though Impress in OpenOffice works a treat - but I don't have the space for OO on my mini-CDs) Posted by cbagger01 on May 01 2005,15:11
Double-click on a ppt file from inside Emelfm

Hmm, don't know why, but I just repackaged the icons, and it looks like it now works. Weird.Tried double-clicking ppt's, only came up with the usual options, when you click "view" it tries to open with beaver. Still having the troubles with TuxRacer and a few other extensions not showing up in the menu after installation. Posted by RoGuE_StreaK on May 02 2005,05:55
Hmm, I may have hit on something here. Just tried a vanilla boot again, and my new package again didn't work. BUT when I installed gnu-utils, it worked!? I'm thinking maybe I packaged it up after I had installed gnu-utils, and somehow the tar.gz compression is different from the busybox one, and busybox can't read it?Also a few XMMS skins that I had lying around didn't work before gnu-utils was installed, but do afterwards...

You don't see a pptview.sh link inside your emelfm because you must be restoring your old .emelfm stuff from an older version of DSL.If you boot with: dsl base norestore You should be able to view ppt documents with emelfm by double clicking on them. Posted by clivesay on May 02 2005,16:45
You may not see your menu because of the naming convention of the menu file inside the extension. In the earlier versions of DSL that filename was not critical. As of 1.0 it's imperative that the name of the menu file in /tmp/mydsl.menu/ be EXACTLY the same as the name of your .dsl file. Hope that helps Chris |
