What's wrong with the mount point '/'?

There is nothing wrong with using / as the mount point, that
error has been fixed in 0.0.2. I restructured mount_icon.py
just before I released it and accidentally broke it. Should
be fixed now though :)

Thanks!
I also had problems with mail, but I don't think they can be
solved... Maybe I'll post some error messages later.
EDIT: I think the problem with mount_icon continues just the
same... Where's the updated archive? Form the 'desklets'
page, the archive's name changes, but it contains the same
files... no modifications and same error.
By cs-cam (Desklet
Author), on Sun Oct 23 10:45:35 2005.
If you post some error messages I'll be glad to help. The
mail checking code is the same as the mailer desklet though,
does that work for you?
By cs-cam (Desklet
Author), on Sun Oct 23 10:54:28 2005.
Okay, so I'm a retard. I must have submitted an old 0.0.2
archive, it has some updates from 0.0.1 but not the fix for
this... I'll submit an update to Sylvain sometime soon but in
the meantime,
this
contains the updated code.
By rockman (User), on Sun

I'm starting to feel a dork ;-), but the archive seems
corrupted: "not a bzip2 file", says bzip2...
However, exec_icon is great and my desktop will look awesome
with your desklet!
If I can leave a suggestion, I would add bottom and top text
alignments and maybe an option to resize icons via
config-file.
Extra coolness could have been some transparency for icons or
maybe some effects on mouse-over or click...
Great work.

Grrrrrr, this is the fault of something on my computer (or
more probably me). Try downloading it again, tar has made a
couple of corrupt archives for me lately. Very freakin'
annoying! :evil:
By syfou (Core Developer

As a side note: what you sent me lately was not corrupted,
just encoded with Lempel-Ziv coding (gz) instead of
Burrows-Wheeler block sorting (bz2). Probably just a typo
(typing -z instead of -j as switch with GNU tar)... Using the
GNUmakefile already included in deskicon to automate the
archive creation usually sorts most of these issues.
By cs-cam (Desklet

I've submitted v0.0.4. It's been updated with a few things.
Now it doesn't wait for the instance of one app to close
before opening a new one and the text can be positioned
anywhere around the icon. Should be making an appearance on
the adesklets site as soon as Sylvain gets me email :)

I tried to download (and install) this desklet, but the link
is no longer active (the website seems to be dead ?)
So I wonder :
1) is there any copy of the files somewhere ?
(in fact I found a kind of one
there,
but i had to copy files one by one, it would be great to have
a tar.gz file...)
2) is anybody know how to configure this desklet ? I managed
to understand how to deal with a launcher applet, but i see
it can be used as well as a mount applet or a mail applet.
But I have no idea about what to change in the config file to
do so...
(I know that syfou tries to reach the author of the desklet
by mail, but anyway, if anyone has an alternate
solution...)
Thanks. Korova.

Since they are GPLed, I could repatriate the two missing
desklets by Cameron Daniel (
desknotes-0.0.1.tar.bz2 and
deskicons-0.0.5.tar.bz2) on Sourceforge
right away; out of courtesy for Cameron, I just want to give
him a chance to keep hosting them if he wants to, so allow me
a few days before the transfer occurs.

What about wget? ;-)
wget -nH --no-parent --recursive --cut-dirs=3 \
http://www.chessgriffin.com/files/packages/adesklets/deskicon-0.0.5/ && \
find . -name 'index*' -exec rm \{\} ';'

Basically, you need to change to '
engine' parameter from the configuration
file (
mount_icon for mount,
mail_icon for mail), then
fill the other engine-specific parameters: see the top
documentation in the engine' source file. Yours,

OK thanks. I managed to understand how it works by reading
the beginning of the .py files.
When I have a little time, I propose to write a little README
file to explain the basic configuration of this desklet (with
the option of the 3 engines). When done, i will post it here.

Done: deskicons is now available right from sourceforge.
