I've upgraded to GWorkspace 0.7.0 here. I'm struggling with the following problems. Can anyone help?
1. I have to install GWorkspace into /System, rather than my more normal /Local for everything except core and remote mounts. Why? Is GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT hardwired or have I misconfigured? If I try to install into /Local, it can't find its helper Tools and exits.
I've GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR = $(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT) in all the makefiles. And the app looks for its tools only in System. This to avoid problems with duplicate elements.
2. Even with it installed into /System, GWorkspace can't start Operation or Recycler itself and disables file operations. When they are run manually, it all works but they get their own app-icons - should they appear, or is my wm missing a hint?
This is an old problem that has been reported also for Inspector when it was a separate application. I've never been able to reproduce it, neither on my linuxes nor on OS X. So, I can't say anything... The code is very simple; GWorkspace tries to contact the application and, if it can't, tell NSWorkspace to launch it and waits some seconds in a loop re-trying to contact it. The very strange thing is that the same code is used also for all the gworkspace tools, fswatcher, ddbd, etc. and I've never heard of problems, in this case. With the tools, the only difference is that GW launches a NSTask instead of using the NSWorkspace method.
3. When I quit GWorkspace and restart, only one Viewer reappears. The other one is lost. Is this a known bug, or local misconfig?
No, it's not a known bug; GWorkspace must remember all the windows and their positions. Try to remove all the GWorkspace dictionary from .GNUstepDefaults.
Thanks in advance for any answers.
