Bug in PlaceAgain

2002-11-15 Thread Marcus Lundblad
I think I found a bug.

I used the following command to arrange icons (taken from the man-page):
All (CurrentPage Iconic) PlaceAgain Icon

I first iconified 3 windows (have IconFill left bottom set), then I moved
the 2 rightmost icons from their positions. Then a applyied the above
command.
Now the labels of the 2 moved icons moved back to their original positions
but the the pixmaps stayed at the same positions.

I use a CVS version from Nov 1.

  Any comments before I do this.
 
 yes,
 
 aren't there lots of possible desktops... because I can set my
 viewport to look at anywhere I want within my desktop (ex-
 overlooking two pages).
 
 I don't think that it's very consistent with the other information
 being sent with M_NEW_PAGE. I could recieve:
 vp_width/height == probably screen resolution
 vp_x/y COULD == (123,321)... in which case:
 total_pages_x/y == nothing useful what-so-ever.

total_pages_x/y may be not useful for FvwmWindowLister, but useful for
FvwmPager.

 If you ask me:
 M_NEW_PAGE should contain ONLY vp_x/y
 M_CONFIG_INFO should contain vp_width/height, and either
 max_possible_x/y OR DesktopSize (which I think it already does).

Currently when DesktopSize command is issued _or_ a page is switched a
single M_NEW_PAGE is sent carrying all changes. I don't want to change
this, because it seems to be convenient for all modules, not just a pager.
Of course, a more static info (that is mostly not changed) may be moved to
M_CONFIG_INFO, but M_NEW_PAGE is sent rarely, so it is not very important.
This may be done later when all packets are redesigned, I don't like, for
example, that M_CONFIG_INFO unites module configuration lines and global
constants instead of having 2 different packets. I don't like M_NEW_DESK.

As I said, if you will use the PageInfo tracker, you will not need to know
whether it internally listens to M_NEW_PAGE, M_NEW_DESK or M_CONFIG_INFO.

 It seems a little like fvwm sits on the fence regarding whether
 consider pages as something that can overlap or not. I would say that
 a viewport could have any possible top-left x/y... and that pages
 are viewports that do not overlap each other.

I use this terminology, viewport is something more general than a page.

Mikhael.

   cs You may want my man script, which presents info as one of the
   cs choices for manual pages. More to the point, it parses info files
   cs and turns them into a single flat text document, which of course
   cs you browse with your pager as with ordinary manual entries.

Yes, please!  That's exactly what I need!

 Info is quite accessible if you spend a few minutes learning the
 command set--there are only about 10 keys :).

I have spent five years and can not get the hang of it.

 In particular, the s (search) and i (index lookup) are critically
 important to know.  Once you know these you can do more with Info that
 you can do with either man pages or HTML.

I really don't want to rant about the interface of info here.  Let
it suffice to say that I absolutely *hate* hierarchical documents.
And info operates a bit like vi, a bit like lynx and a bit like
emacs, but not quite.  That totally confuses me.

 if I comment out the if statments at line 500 and 585 it compiles fine.
 also it works without modifications on another system with libstroke.
 

On my new redhat 8.0 system I got exactly the same errors (from current
cvs) until I installed the libstroke package from tarball source, then
it compiles fine! I suspect there's only a problem if you don't have
libstroke.

  At least here I guessed your answer correctly. :)
 
 I just downloaded the cvs snapshot and found you switched to 8-space
 tab indentation, which was the worst thing I could have imagined :-)
 Ah well, I suppose indentation styles are a bit of a religious war ...

This is not really correct. I don't use 8-spaces, I use one tab. Unlike
our C code that requires TAB to be 8 spaces, our perl code is properly
structured to allow any TAB size. Use 4 spaces for TAB if you like this,
I use 3 or 8. Just please remember to write a properly structured code
(no spaces for indentation, no tabs in the middle of line) not to break
this TAB size freedom. I know, it is difficult with emacs...

  Ok, I did a lot of small changes, every change has its reason, take a look.
 
 I think you broke the drawminiicon option, but I don't know this idiom:
 
 $foo = 0 + !!$1;

It only veryfies that $foo ends up to be a number (you compare this with
numbers later, right?). But I forgot this is not a boolean (may be 2 as
well). I will fix this.

 Otherwise, I like all the changes you made.
 
  The module still misses some configurability like sorting, automatical
  grouping, submenus, configurable format, class/resource/name resolution).
  But it is a good start to test future trackers.
 
 I've added title/icon/class/resource matching with a syntax like:
 
   *FvwmWindowLister: Show resource = Galeon|Navigator|mozilla-bin
 
 You can get the new version at:
 
   http://cns.georgetown.edu/~ric/software/fvwm/FvwmWindowLister
 
 I even added emacs mode settings for your indentation style :-)

I don't think these are the right settings, they insert 4 spaces.
In fact, I think the only way to configure emacs to do anything useful
is to disable auto-indentation and insert real tabs on tab press.

Mikhael.

I will try. Hopefully it does not require fribidi detection changes.

As explained Mikhael the MinHeight does not dictate the height of the
title bar's.

Rational: if you use XxX Pixmap buttons you can set MinHeight to
X+something to be sure that your buttons will be not truncated with
any font. If you use Height X+something you may have pbs with your
title with big font.

which is the script itself. You then add the info dirs to your $MANPATH
and go. It may have a few dependencies on my environment which I'd be
happy to iron out, so let me know if it gives you trouble. In particular
it expects the envvar $OS to be linux on linux systems (well, actually
groff-based systems). Hmm, I see there's now an nroff on my redhat box, so
maybe you won't need the groff incantation at all.

And I generally want a big document in the pager my fingers know.
