Come on ppl, need some feedback here.

Currently crashing when I attempt to save ~/.AsusLauncher/simpleui.rc

Output here:

Yep, it crashes. It's a bug in the save command (doesn't send the filename to the function that saves the configuration), use "Save as..." to save it. Will fix it asap.

Done a further test:

- removed supposed corrupted simpleui.rc in ~/.AsusLauncher, then copied over the /opt/xandros/share/AsusLauncher/simpleui.rc version.  Next, imported the working version into emeditor & then finally did save as into the same ~/.AsusLauncher dir.

NB: I made no changes to the file this time.  Tried restarting the desktop again, and got the same file corrupted error - so looks like emeditor has a fatal bug in the way it's saving stuff atm perhaps??

Could you send me the copy of the corrupt simpleui.rc file to see what was corrupted?

To repair the launcher, just rename the file to something else so it will use it's global one.

Edit: Thanks for the info... looking into it... If everything is OK, i should upload a fixed version in about 30 minutes.

Done - put it here:

http://pastebin.ca/853435

(PM doesn't seem to allow attachments so pastebinning it seemed easier)

Works great so far - have tested editing existing entries & the changes are successful - THANKS!  Will give more detailed feedback once I've played a bit more.

Cheers for now,

Dez.

workaround: File->Save As-> entering .AsusLauncher/simpleui.rc in the text box, pressing save, then all following saves work.

also, i'd like a few command line options? they'd be a nice feature. like passing the file name, or a switch to affect local or global files.

thanks for the good work, looking forward to a source release!

looking good.

no major problems here.

Are you going to allow us to re-order the icons?

Cheers

Redownload the archive. That bug has already been fixed.

I had the same problem, except I'm a *real* linux noob. Anyway, I redownloaded the .zip. Then I moved it into my / (root?) directory. Then I typed into the terminal:

sudo bash
unzip EmEditor.zip
then I typed 'A' to get it to replace all the old stuff
Then I put in the chmod thing
then I typed 'emeditor' to run it

Didn't work, it says 'segmentation fault'. Is this  bug or did I do something wrong? I tried, afterwards, to remove the program with sudo apt-get remove emeditor, but this did not work. Do I need to remove the old one before installing the new one? I tried extracting the zip into / multiple times, always got the same error. Judging by the fact that other people don't seem to be having this problem, an we're all using an identical OS, what did I do wrong?

Thanks for the program, I got the general idea of what it would do in the last version (although it wouldn't save, as above) and it will make my life a lot easier.

Unrelated, but I have to ask it now that I'm here: when manually editing the AsusLauncher file (or whatever file the wiki told me to edit in order to get the same end effect that this program gets), I found I was not able to save it. Aren't you supposed to press ctrl-x? This was using the default easy mode terminal that comes up with ctrl-alt-z.

Thanks fo much fo the app!

For command line options I will make a separate binary to allow it to be used in install scripts and other things. It will have 2 methods:
1. emImport /path/to/eml_import.xml that will import the subcategories and icons defined in the xml file (useful for install scripts)
2. emImport "category" "name" "icon" "command" that will add a single icon based on the information provided.

I haven't yet started making this command line version yet but I will have it ready for the final version. When the final version will be complete, I will make the program Open Source so you will be able to edit it as you please.

I have the same results as above - at first I got a segmentation fault, so I copied it, did a chmod on the copy. Now when I try to run I get an access violaton.!

Not sure what the problem is. I still haven't figured out this weird bug, however, the "access violation" error is new to me. Did a lot of testing and never got it. Anyway, try to copy the main file to your home dir or similiar. It doesn't have to be in the /usb/bin/ dir. I was actually thinking of making the program install itself in the /home/user/Programs/EmEditor/ (including the files from the /opt/ProjectSakura/ files) but that would prevent the program from starting by simply typing it's name in the console.

In any case, will try to install the compiler on my EEE so the editor will be compiled to the specific libraries on the EEE (currently, I'm compiling it in a Kubuntu 7.10 virtual machine on my desktop pc so that might be the cause for the startup errors).

I already know this "bug" as I already said about it in post #38. It's not actually a bug, I didn't add the code to refresh the icon list. You didn't need to shutdown, just change active categories

Finally, managed to get the updated version.

What's new:
* Interface redesigned (moved icon buttons to the right side, icon moved bellow category list)
* Fixed several bugs
* Added icon sorting (you can now change the order icons appear on the menu)

Some screenshots:

Main window


Category edit

Download: emeditor_0.5.3-0.i386.deb (~1 MB) *updated to 0.5.3*

Next version will also include a command line version of the editor for scripting possibilities.

How to install:
Method 1:
  1. download .DEB file from the link above (save it to your home dir or where you prefer).
  2. open File Manager, go to the dir where you saved the .Deb
  3. right-click the .deb and select "Install DEB file...".
  4. Open terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
  5. type emeditor and hit [ENTER] to start app

Method 2:
  1. download .DEB (same as method 1)
  2. Open terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and navigate to the dir where you saved the file
  3. type dpkg -i ./emeditor_0.5-0.i386.deb and hit [ENTER]
  4. type emeditor and hit [ENTER] to start app

Enjoy

P.S. If a moderator sees this, please change the topic to [BETA] AsusLauncher Advanced Editor. Thanks

start synaptic and search for emeditor. mark for removal, you're done.

If you could post a screenshot of the "access violation" error and a copy of the terminal output, it would help me fix the problems (don't know why you're getting the error because I didn't change the code for icon adding).

If you really want the previous version: here
