FoldWatcher is out!!! (The ULTIMATE Monitoring Environment..

[drkameleon]

The resizing "problem" lies with the clock applet.

I'm not sure... Personally I think it's the 'Personal stats' window, which I had a really hard time to get it docked into the main window, whenever I used a custom Layout for its contents...

Is there a reason why you're supplying a precompiled copy of foldwatcher in your source package (./bin)?

Absolutely no reason. It's my mistake. Actually it's a leftover of my compilation ... sorry

Finally, foldwatcher shouldn't really be being installed to /usr/sbin, /usr/bin would be a more appropriate location.

I was thinking of it myself and I' ll probably implement it in the next release...

It's more that the clock and calendar have massive minimum sizes.

No Windows version ?

@toTOW

I am currently trying to write a port for Windows and Mac platforms...

Of course, I' ll let you know when it's available...

[smartcat99s]

Will you be adding "make install" capabilities? It's rather inconvienent to have each and every user install their own copy.

Sidenote -- I usually expect programs to install into /usr/bin, not /usr/sbin

Otherwise it looks good!

[ivo@ragana foldwatcher-0.1.0]$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
[ivo@ragana foldwatcher-0.1.0]$

Run "qmake" before running make

That would seem to be a distro-specific problem. I'm using Ubuntu which by the looks of the OP's screenshot is the same distro he's using.

True. FoldWatcher was tested on 32- and 64-bit Ubuntu distros... I really don't think it's a matter of distro... Something tells me that it's still screen resolution that matters...

Has anybody tested it on a typical laptop screen (1280x800).???I suppose - if it works correctly there - It MUST be a resolution issue which I' ll try to figure out... Please let me know...

1680x1050 is working on Arch Linux (after the workaround) -- It is a distro-specific issue. Running "qmake" before "make" should solve all of the issues. This is because different distros install different parts of qt in different places.

Also -- Is there a way to download wus_list.dat from within the program?

This belongs in my TODO list (probably next release)

What package is supposed to carry the qmake?

[drkameleon]

As far as I know, for Ubuntu, a

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

should resolve the issue (excuse me for not mentioning it clearly)

For Fedora and rpm-based distros, I think

Code: Select all

yum install qt4-devel

(though I am NOT sure...)

Everyone using ANOTHER distro, would be welcome to tell me WHICH PACKAGE carries "qmake" in THEIR distro....

Fedora 9 with qt4-devel installed does not have qmake:

Not directly, but it gave me some ideas:

Code: Select all

[root@haskaa ~]# locate qmake
[root@haskaa ~]# locate qmake-qt4
[root@haskaa ~]# /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 
Usage: /usr/lib64/qt4/bin/qmake-qt4 [mode] [options] [files]
[root@haskaa ~]# updatedb 
[root@haskaa ~]# locate qmake-qt4
/usr/bin/qmake-qt4
/usr/lib64/qt4/bin/qmake-qt4
[root@haskaa ~]# 

[drkameleon]

@Ivoshiee: Yep, I think for Qt-4, "make" is replaced by "qt4-make". I tweaked something before compiling but I can hardly remember what it was...

[drkameleon]

The first Windows release is out !!!

(Although, it is still HEAVY beta, it would be great if you could check this out too...)

The genuine code of this somehow "modified" version as well as a minimal package with the binary/tools are freely available...

You know where you will find it....

I' m waiting for your comments...

Downloaded Windows version but it won't run as various dll's are missing.

Agreed, the QT runtime libraries are not included. I got an error that mentioned QtCore.dll
