Thanks for your comment. Support for scripts and some minor scripting has been planned, and may be implemented some day :) |

Try the new version. Might work :)
Your xine-lib seems old. Might I suggest an upgrade? And, running as root seems risky, especially something written by a programmer like myself :) wimp probably can't cause much damage, perhaps crash X :/ although xine FAQ suggests that xine-lib is unable to crash X all by itself, and poor Gtk+ is simple enough to be quite harmless. |

I compiled and ran the above source on Fedora 13 without any problems. If you would give me some detail into the sort the issue that you ran into while running wimp I could be more helpful :)
Because wimp uses xine-lib to do all media related stuff, if you can run xine-ui properly, you should really be able to run wimp. It is pretty simple ( and stable :) in it's design. |

Thank you for your interest and time :)
The problem has apparently been that I used the traditional getenv ("HOME") to get the user's home directory, which might not be available on new distros. It should work now, ( I always say that for a new version, don't I ? :)
Thanks to Polesz for the fix.

Did you just call my program "ugly" ? Did you not look at the screenshot ? Please take a look at the screenshot.
Although it "resembles" some other operating system's corresponding feature ( to a GREAT extent ) I wouldn't really call it copying because such projects have already been undertaken before I cam along; See KBFX and SUSE's start menu. This is more or less a reference implementation of how such code could be easily developed.
It's a "start-menu", but it's not really a "menu" at all; it's a couple of GtkTreeView(s) and some effort at creative programming. The idea is not so much as "copying" as much as "we can do it too".
And, to think about it objectively, it is kind of useful as well; we have frequently used shortcuts and a "run" box with auto completion built in; I would think that useful.
Please see the screenshot; I disagree about it's ugliness. Maybe it might not be useful, but it's definitely not ugly.
PS: It's not really a "great" program. A little clever, perhaps, but definitely NOT great.It's pretty simple, actually; I actually wonder how come nobody ever built one before me. |

I'm probably the worst programmer in history :(
Well, let's take a stab at it one last time. I've removed the code results in a segfault. If it still doesn't work, maybe the problem can't really be solved that easily.
Thanks for your interest and support :) |

Well :)
I am so sorry you had to download it like 5 times :)
I think it's something to do with library versions; I use Fedora Core 4, released waaay back in 2004 ...
All right then, now it might probably work :) The issue I think was
* on startup, the program looks for old pid files lying around in its directory ~/.wimp
* on the first ( and other incomplete ) runs, there was no ~/.wimp directory, and so fopen ( "~/.wimp", "w" ) failed.
Now, it will create it's directory before it does anything else. It should work now. Different libc(s) might behave differently in these situations. |
