laprjns, thanks for the feedback.
Can you try this package instead?

It's working now

[tsuren]

Just tested now. Looks very nice!

I post some output below in case it is of interest. [Under Salix Ratpoison beta]

I just had a quick fiddle with it, and one thing I found unintuitive is that in order to select a category for an item that doesn't yet appear, such as "Install multimedia codecs", the category selection only works if you have previously ticked "activate".

EDIT A minor point, but could it be less mouse-dependent? I think I tried right-arrow to move from categories to items (over on the right); only clicking did anything.

I haven't been following this thread closely recently, so apologies if I've missed something.

Mimosa, some of your error messages are very strange.
Are you sure that you have the very last version? Some of the package's files (the configuration file) appears to be missing from your system.
Also don't you have Salix GTK tools on your system? Some also appear to be missing.
In any case at this early stage, setupcenter probably is not yet compatible with non-mouse environment but eventually yes, it could be.

[mimosa]

Akuna, I downloaded it using your link and installed with spkg, probably for the first time in this install. The output was really just for fun - God knows what isn't in Salix Ratpoison that you would expect to find normally. (Though I've installed quite a few things to make this or that work, so really, one would need to do the test in a pristine install.)


However, maybe the streamlined nature of Salix Ratpoison also accounts for the behaviour I commented on (obligatory tick to "activate" before selecting category). When next I'm in xfce, I'll give it another try.


EDIT

Code: Select all

root[lucy]# spkg -i setupcenter-0.8.1-alpha-noarch-1plb.txz

I had 0.7 installed, so downloaded this version. When I went to upgrade, spkg complained that the older version wasn't installed, so I uninstalled it manually and installed the new version fresh.

Works well, but for some reason does not remember the change to single view. It can be set during operation, but forgets the setting and goes back to view by category on the next start.

Here too, thanks for catching this.

In the meanwhile today I 'concocted' a specific icon for setupcenter:

[JRD]

Awsome icon ! But i wonder how it looks in small size (16x16) ? Btw i think the idea is good.

[Akuna]

This should be very close to the final version.
All the last missing functions have been added: multitasking, icon chooser with preview, etc.

There are probably a few bugs that still need ironing. Thanks for catching and reporting them.
