MX-21 fluxbox beta 1 feedback thread.

[i_ri]

okay. i am just ready to see a good side. until there is just one entry, either leave it, delete it,
Or add -c seems fun. i am not suggesting permanence default. just make the most of what you got.

what if,
If it is some user's first experience adding a code option while experiencing the changed result, then you might create a coder for life from this first encounter with code.
Or make a mx-fluxbox user for life devotee. all from a lesson using a -c in rootmenu.
silly maybe, but you never know ..

[siamhie]

All normal. Edited full_menu and renamed Update Menu to Reset Fluxbox Menu in menu-mx so I would stop resetting my menu. lol

[submenu] (Accessories)
#[exec] (Application Finder ) { xfce4-appfinder } Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;
[exec] (Application Finder ) { xfce4-appfinder } Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;

and menu-mx

[separator]
[exec] (Reset Fluxbox Menu) {/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator}

I just noticed following error message in ~/xsession-errors: WARNING: tempfile is deprecated; consider using mktemp instead.
I don't know when this started, whether it related to MXFB21 beta1, or MX21 beta1 - or a misconfiguration from my part...
When doing a web search, I stumbled upon a debian bugs paste dated Aug 18 2021, which reports on (or may be related to) this issue:
https://linux.debian.bugs.dist.narkive. ... s-xsession

Has anyone seen this error popping up and/or can comment on possible severity:

for good order sake, below is the latest xsession-errors contents:

I see it at the very beginning of MXFB21 B1 install

[Melber]

A couple of obsevations:

• In the Settings Manager app the settings themselves are translated but the window text (Common settings for MX Fluxbox) and the buttons about/help/edit/close are still in english.

• Mugshot app opens xfce Terminal as well as mugshot itself.

• Shutdown using tint2 button and logout popup works, shutdown via fluxbox menu hangs

[Jerry3904]

Thanks. I saw the Live situation here and am just waiting for an installed to confirm.

[siamhie]

I've come across a couple of quirks. Nitrogen doesn't see the images in ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds but will if I add the directory (/home/siamhie/.fluxbox/backgrounds) in preferences. I've changed the default folder for saving Quickshot screenshots from Pictures to Downloads in mxfb-quickshot.conf. How do I stop it from creating a second image that gets saved to my home folder (name of image starts with feh_)?

[Jerry3904]

On the Nitrogen problem: try $HOME/.fluxbox/backgrounds instead. I have a running list where the tilde doesn't work (mea culpa).

On the second image: I need to check the script on that behavior, thanks. I had never noticed it before.
