	Ah, ok.  I haven't been able to keep up with it all lately.  I have an
UltraSPARC 5 that I could put 9 on.  I'm hesitant to "buy" the media,
though.  I'll have to see how many ISO images make up the minimum and
optimal install.  I'll probably end up staying with 8, though.  At least
'till 10 comes out.  ;-)

looks like 4 isos :
install, binary 1, binary 2 and languages.

I'm gonna wait till mu3 is out before installing 9 on my Ultra60 :))

This is just to let you know that work on xfsamba is moving at a steady
pace. Each day I break it a little further. I just added a new project
at sourceforge called "DBH - Disk Based HashTables". It's a dynamic
library that xfsamba is going to be using for its cache, since the one
it had --eventhough it works ok-- seems to be held together with pins.
The current cache is terribly bug sensitive since separate linked lists
access overlapping memory areas, which makes the gtk2 porting quite
difficult. OTH, the new cache tecnology will allow for saving between
sessions, so that it won't depend so much on the SMB "master browser"
scheme, and in general be a better and faster application.

Hi,

I think gnu dbm does the thing you are looking out
for, i.e. disk based hashing. You can take a look at
this stuff rather than implementing your own. I also
believe that it has a very small footprint too.

Dbh is already implemented and I have been using it for a long time with
a great deal of success. It might sound and look similar to gdbm, but
the way dbh goes about its business is better and faster, AFAICT. So
making it OS should be a "good thing" (TM. J.K.). Besides, the name DBH
might be a little misleading, but "Multidimensional homogeneous
datatrees (mhd)" wouldn't have as much sex appeal. Furthermore, I'm also
extending dbh as part of my phd project, so it's like killing two stones
with one bird.

OK. Seems like a good idea. I personally use the drag and drop features
supported with xftree. That way you choose the download directory
directly by dropping on the right place in xftree. Im not sure whether
the download button can download more than one file at once, or download
a directory with all its contents, but the dragndrop method can.

It could be a progress bar like that of xftree, otherwise I believe
smbclient does not provide a mecanism. OTH, you use the mount option and
use xftree to download the file. But this would give a progress bar like
that mentioned above. You can use the progress bars of other
filemanagers for the uploading, but at the moment I believe xftree is
the only one capable of receiving downloads drops from xfsamba.

due to problems with solaris 8, I upgraded my Ultra60 last weekend to
solaris 9. Everything's working fine. xfce compiled without any problems.
I'm still waiting for a new release (I don't like cvs too much).

What about reading remote file size before downloading and monitoring local
file size during transmission? It should solve a problem of lack of SMB
client support for progress indicator.

Interesting. Although there would have to be 3 threads doing the work,
one with the downloading, and the other monitoring the filesize changes
and updating the progress bar and the third processing the gtk event
loop. It sounds like the perfect excuse to learn the tricks of pthreads.

	That's ok, I understand.  It was just a shot in the dark.  Basically I
was to lazy to go find a tcl/tk list archive and wade through it.

	Just for fun let me run down what I've been playing with lately.  And
anyone who laughs out loud will get smacked up-side the head.  ;-)

	I have recently found some very fun development tools.  One is SpecTcl
<http://spectcl.sf.net>, a tcl/tk IDE.  It is a very easy to use yet
quite powerful.  You can write gui apps in just a few minutes.  

	Another other is Greq <http://greq.berlios.de>, a very cool utility
that makes gtk+ dialogs in shell scripts.  I recommend that everyone
check this tool out.

	Lastly, and most importantly, theKompany has just come out with
something I have been wanting for ever.  The product is called Kobol
<http://www.thekompany.com/products/kobol> and it is a COBOL IDE that
runs on Linux and WinXX (I said no laughing!).  It's not open source but
it only runs $39 and no runtime fees.  The other "commercial" COBOL
products start at $2200 and up with serious runtime fees.  The open
source options, TinyCOBOL and OpenCOBOL (see freshmeat), are Ok but
still have a way to go.  I liken Kobol to Turbo C & Turbo Pascal.  I now
have a tool I can do some really fun stuff with that doesn't cost an arm
and a leg and my second born.  Man, I haven't been this excited since,
well, I don't know when.

	God I love hacking.  :-)

Subject: CVS xftree crashing...
Message-ID: <3D0F638F.2775517B@head-cfa.harvard.edu>

Hi there,

Am I the only one unable to run the current CVS
(downloaded yesterday) xftree?
It creates the window and sigsev immediately after.

In xtree_gui.c, I find:

 newtop(
 ...
  win->iconname = NULL;
  set_icon (win->top,win->iconname, xftree_icon_xpm);

in libs/xfce-commonc.c :

 set_icon (
 ...
  gdk_window_set_icon_name (toplevel->window, name);

This gdk function does not really like having its name parameter
being NULL (it comes from "win->iconname = NULL;"). It ends up
with a segmentation violation.

There is a bunch of commented lines before "win->iconname = NULL;".
Putting them back and commenting out "win->iconname = NULL;" does
produce a much better result, even if it not the intended one.

I guess xftree should fail for everybody, so why am I the only one
to complain ? ;-)

Cheers,
Stephane

It seems that neither xftree_gui.c nor libs/xfce-commonc.c have changed
at the CVS since 3.8.16. Do you have the same trouble with 3.8.16?

Yes, same with 3.8.16. I jumped from 3.8.14c to CVS, and just before that
I upgraded gtk+/glib from 1.2.8 (I think) to 1.2.10. Could it that
1.2.10 does not accept a NULL parameter anymore? Another thing is that
I am on a Solaris 8 Ultra. I wanted to try on my linux laptop yesterday night,
but I forgot; sorry! I'll check that tonight. (My favourite file manager
is called "tcsh"!, so I never tried "xftree" since my last upgrade).

It might be a problem on Solaris only. More precisely, of the SUN X libraries.
XmbTextListToTextProperty (in gdk_window_set_icon_name) does not like having
the second parameter a pointer to a NULL string (which I can understand!).

In XFce 3.8.14c, xftree made sure that it never passed a NULL pointer
to set_icon. In >3.8.16, it makes sure it _does_ pass a NULL pointer
to set_icon.

Perhaps the easiest way would be to protect the call to gdk_window_set_icon_name
in libs/xfce-common.c -> set_icon:

if (name!=NULL) gdk_window_set_icon_name (toplevel->window, name);

What do you think?

I think the following is better. The code of xftree_gui.c reads:

  win->iconname = NULL;
  set_icon (win->top,win->iconname, xftree_icon_xpm);
  set_title_ctree (ctree, en->path);

But it should be:

  win->iconname = NULL;
  set_title_ctree (ctree, en->path);
  set_icon (win->top,win->iconname, xftree_icon_xpm);

In the second case, win->iconname is set appropriately after the call
to set_title_ctree, since win is data associated to ctree.

I've updated the CVS and it should work properly on Solaris.
