MX-21 fluxbox beta 1 feedback thread.

Update to mxfb-quickshot creating two screenshot images (one in Downloads and the other in my Home folder). When I grab an active window or the desktop using the quickshot shortcut from the dock, feh opens with that preview. What I had been doing was to right click on feh's window and select save from the menu. That's where the second image is coming from. If I just close feh's window after grabbing the shot, I still have my image saved to Downloads but now I don't have an image in my home folder starting with feh_.

Is there a way I can tweak mxfb-quickshot so that it doesn't bring up feh's window in the first place. I really don't need a preview of my screen grab's.

[dolphin_oracle]

ah, I need to check I bet I have a bunch of duplicate shots too

This straw may break the camel's back...

[siamhie]

I was definitely having a PEBKAC moment.

[Jerry3904]

It is certainly possible to run quickshot without the feh part. I'm thinking of popping up a dialog box instead saying it was saved to XX with a View button. But not right now... Here is the quickshot code without the feh component.

Thank you so much. It's perfect.

On a machine with a graphics resolution of 1280x800, 'Common Settings' cuts off the icons on the right hand side.

What happens if you readjust the window size >> narrower? Adrian's new build should rescale I think.

At different window sizes the icons may fit properly; at intermediate positions, for example when going from 2 icons across to 3 icons across, the truncation occurs. At the resolution of this particular machine, that truncation happens when the window is maximised.

Hello:
I'm a little late and I don't know if this is already reported?
I was finally able to install MX21 Fluxbox on my test laptop.
In the usblive I could remove the desktop wallpaper and leave it with nothing, or change to another image, but in the MX installed from the Desktop app, it does not change to any wallpaper, nor do I see a way to leave it without any...
The beta is installed and updated as of today.
Here the information of the laptop.

EDITED:
I also set the Desktop app to change wallpaper every 1 minute randomly, and nothing happens....
EDITED:
Changing the desktop wallpaper only works from "Right-click->Appearance->Wallpaper...".
