Hello all,
We need a project that will pull together existing efforts, create an
easy installation/update environment, and encourage effort towards
helping out on existing apps. Because those existing apps really do a
tremendous job of covering many desktop needs:
GWorkspace + appwrappers
We got it to build on Solaris, but it does not seem to cooperate
reasonably with Etoile and especially EtoileMenuServer.app (overlapping
menus)
Terminal
Is Terminal.app of real use for anyone? We got it built on our Solaris
machine but at least our version is rather buggy and unusable. "ls"
list the files but does not show the bash prompt again. I have to press
enter a few times to get the prompt again. We can't enter '|', it just
beeps. pico does not work "Sorry, I don't know anything about your
"linux" terminal" ... So until now, we had to stick to aterm,
gnome-terminal,... What are we missing?
By the way, if I want to drag a string (path) from my app to
Terminal.app what pastboard type do I need to use? Is Terminal.app able
to work as a drag target?
TextEdit
TextEdit is close to useless for us since it is not able to read and
write RTF files that can be read or have been written on a Mac with
Apples TextEdit.app. Obviously the GNustep TextEdit cannot read the mac
encoded rtf stream. That makes the whole application useless. I know
not enough about rtf to figure out who's fault that is. I jsut know
that e.g. german characters don't get through (Mac <--> GNUstep).
Anyone more success with these apps on Solaris in a mixed environment
with Macs?
Thanks,
Andreas
