the default command to open a pdf attachment in sylpheed is gedit that doesn't exist in dsl base system, I think it sould be changed in xpdf.

We don't have a default sylpheedrc in /etc/skel, it appears that gedit was a compiled in default. Since the entire .sylpheed/ directory containing sylpheedrc is in your home directory, it is easy enough to change the three default mime types at lines:

114 mime_image_viewer=xzgv '%s'
115 mime_audio_player=xmms '%s'
116 mime_open_command=xpdf '%s'

The "open_command" is changed whenever you overwrite the currently displayed default and thus 'remembers' your last use.

Yes, as WDef suggests, adding extensions with libraries is a pain.

If we could have /opt/lib in the library path, install our extensions to /opt/app/bin .. /lib etc and have and put our links to the applications libraries in /opt/lib that would be great.

Or as part of the extension loader, recognise libraries (*.so files) and build the the library links automatically.

Generally, I think DSL should come built in with a toolkit of scripts to assist building extensions.

I will attempt to make it automatic as part of the extension loader.
We will need to adopt a convention similiar to that of the menu item. That being I will look for a directory of the form /opt/extname/lib/

Where extname must match as the menu item currently does.
Example: abiword-4.uci

I will look for /opt/abiword-4/lib/

Doing this should make it easier to build self contained applications.

Hi Robert!

There seems to be some problems with changing styles in fluxbox. The background selector in the control panel doesn't seem to work either. I tried theese functions with a cd without backup or anything so I haven't added anything. Otherwise I really like the 4.0 series. This test was made with DSL 4.0 RC3.

Have fun and thank's for all the hard work,
meo
