MX-21 Fluxbox RC1 feedback

[Jerry3904]

About localization:

--it should be localized 2 layers down now.
--not sure ATM about the Debian menu. I did include those category translations in the template, but perhaps the localization for those will have to be done inside the menu generator app itself. Need to check with people like @fehlix who know more about this than I do.
--MXFB documentation: for improvement of DeepL translations:
1) use docx files in /usr/share/mxflux/help/source. Send something I can easily figure out (like an entire section) to manual AT mxlinux DOT org
2) make a Pull Request on Git, files are here: https://github.com/MX-Linux/mxfb-docs/t ... elp/source

Pressing Print changes the cursor from a pointer to a select function--on my system a small cross. No program launch is visible which is what makes it so fast.

@Jerry3904 Were talking about the Print Scr button, correct? That's what's labeled on my Logitech K360 keyboard. If I just press that button, my mouse pointer doesn't change but if I press (in combo) the Right logo key and the Print Scr button my mouse pointer changes to a cross.

OK. At least there's three other ways to launch it, right? (dock icon, Appfinder, Rofi). You can remap that button if you want.

I'm trying to avoid forcing the new user to resize the Settings Manager. Can people please test this change in the apps file?

--find the custom-toolbox entry
--reduce it to this

Code: Select all

[app] (name=custom-toolbox) (class=custom-toolbox)
[end]

--Menu > Leave > Refresh
--now launch the Settings Manager, and I hope you see a full two-column window open.

When you report, please include screen resolution--TIA

@kobaian I'm not sure what you want about yad. I tried deleting the entry from the apps file but then the yad window shows up in the upper left corner and, if you change dimensions or position, it won't stick unless you right-click the titlebar and check to remember those as well as Save on close. So I can't see how I could change the default setting there. But maybe I misunderstood...

Correct. It's probably because of my multimedia keyboard. (it has previous, play/pause, next, mute, vol up and vol down buttons on it)

In MX19 I opened yad dialogs many times and there was no entry in app file at all. The position and dimensions was determined by Yad itself. The standard position is the upper left corner, but if you add --center to the script the dialog is the center of the screen. I wonder why in MX21 the position of the window are determined by the app-file and not by the yad-script itself.

What does the Settings Manager look like (position, dimensions)?

[siamhie]

What does the Settings Manager look like (position, dimensions)?

This is what I have. No mention of dimensions but other entries have them.

Code: Select all

[app] (name=mx-tools) (class=mx-tools)
  [Dimensions]	{36% 82%}
  [Position]	(UPPERLEFT)	{32% 7%}
  [Close]	{yes}
[end]
[app] (name=custom-toolbox) (class=custom-toolbox)
  [Position]	(UPPERLEFT)	{32% 6%}
  [Close]	{yes}
[end]
[app] (name=qpdfview) (class=qpdfview)
  [Dimensions]	{66% 93%}
  [Position]	(UPPERLEFT)	{20% 3%}
  [Close]	{yes}
[end]
