Someone said it was customizable? I dont think it even borders on customizable, unless I'm missing some huge undocumented feature. I donno, maybe I'm too used to the customizablitiy of fvwm, zsh, ..., and the like, however I find rox is rather streamlined for one paticular style of use. Sure, I've only just started trying to use a gui filer again, but I find the interface generaly more annoying then usefull and fast. And their window sizing, and icon layout is realy annoying. Is there realy anyway to 'customize' its behaviour? |

Actually, I have released 3 custom icons sets (you can also customize icons for everything separately) and have even included a script in images' send-to menu that sets them as the wallpaper and edits the set-wallpaper script in order to make them stay that way. Yeah, you might not be able to change whether it orgranizes horizontally or vertically, but it does the rest well and is a very nice filer IMO. |

Send my the .tar.gz and I'll put it up for ya. Most of these packages I have updated on my system simply because with appdirs, it's just drag and drop, but new ones are nice too.

custom... icons...
Thats exactly what I ment, as far as I can tell thats the extent of it. And as for scripts, any decent filer, should allow you to do all of that. But where's the abillity to change the menus? (Appart from the send to) Why cant I add scripts to the tool bar? Why cant I tell the resize behaviour to actualy behave like any normal application? (Yes, I know you can tell it to not auto resize, but it still has that behavior.) Now surely its possible to change what the mouse buttons do? right? |

Roguelazer, email sent. I can't really say the ebuilds will work for everyone but it worked for me.

I'm just gonna add some additional rox apps and applets I use to the tarball then I'll upload it (testing ebuilds now...)
Edit 1
Also, please note that the add-rox.sh script does not work if you have more than one portage overlay. I can make it work, but because some people put the rox stuff in their first overlay and some (like me) put it in their second, it'd require lots of magic. I might do it later.
Edit 2
Sorry, no release today. rox-lookandfeel is a required app that I need to make an ebuild for, and it's gonna require some magic to do. Tomorrow I might release, depending on when I get out of work today.
Edit 3
BTW: rox does have an address bar. Press the / key in an rox window to bring it up. It also has built-in tab-completion, and some other features that make it Über-1337

Okay. Here's the release of the latest and greatest rox ebuilds. There's some bugs and a lot of shaky magic in this package, so be sure to read the readme.txt file before attempting to install it. Okay? Okay. And if you get weird chars in the README file, just pretend they're not there.

yep.... but there's something that i really miss, the adress-bar.. :\
it's faster to move around with the adress-bar |
press the \ key and the address bar appears. backspaces will take you up a directory, it also has (bash-like) tab completion. that feature is quality, I couldn't live without it.
I think ROX is great I'm having a little trouble with file associations and mime types (admittedly I've not put the time in to remedy yet) but apart from that I'm very impressed, so fast, light and functional |

on the rox site there is a mime editor I can remember using a few ages ago. Works quite well.
also, anyone know any tricks to get the goto/address bar on per default? |

There's a mime-editor app in the ebuild tarball I provided.

Got the tarball (thanks Roguelazer) and emerged musicbox. Copied it to my ~/rox/Apps folder. Edited findrox.py (so that it finds Roxlib2) and now am getting this error
| Code: | ** (MusicBox:1537): WARNING **: `GtkTextSearchFlags' is not an enum type
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/alex/rox/Apps/MusicBox/AppRun", line 2, in ?
import findrox; findrox.version(1, 9, 13)
File "/home/alex/rox/Apps/MusicBox/findrox.py", line 43, in version
import rox
File "/usr/rox/Libs/ROX-Lib2/python/rox/__init__.py", line 193, in ?
_window_icon = g.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(_icon_path)
gobject.GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/home/alex/rox/Apps/MusicBox/.DirIcon'
No running windows found |
Any ideas as to how to clear this one up?
Thanks in advance

Ok... it was the .DirIcon file that was stopping it loading.
Opened AppIcon.xpm in gimp and saved as .png and renamed to .DirIcon did the trick. Works fine now.

Just for your info...
ROXget doesn't emerge the dep dev-python/pycurl. I would fix it... If I knew how. Maybe when I get some time I might try to learn but for now I will have to leave it to others...

I just put the new ROX-Get into my local version anyhow. I'm testing it now. When I upload it, it should get the proper dependancies.

I've got to say that these apps for rox are great!
I've been using rhythmbox and sound-juicer and both are great programs (rhythmbox a little buggy tho) but they have sh*t loads of deps. Now using music box and ripper or roxcd (not decided yet... can't get roxcd to play - disk read fine but no sound) with just a few deps... Nice!
Only problem is no internet radio in musicbox (or is there? Not had a chance to delve too deep yet.)

Musicbox-0.18 is available. Just copy musicbox-017.1.ebuild and rename it musicbox-0.18.ebuild and do
| Code: |
ebuild /path/to/musicbox-0.18.ebuild digest
|
and emerge musicbox. Not sure what changes there are yet other than save playlist no longer gives "non-iteration" error.
