* TGZ PLUGIN DOES NOT WORK On some systems, the MIME type for .tgz files is now application/x-tgz. Just add that plugin, similar to application/x-compressed-tar. To do that, either read the manual, or edit manually your configuration file, or just remove it (${HOME}/.gtktalog/gtktalog.cf) * BZIP2 PLUGIN BROKEN application/x-bzip-compressed-tar uses the 'tar tjvf' plugin. However, before this, it used 'tar tyvf'. This was changed in the system config file, but maybe you still have the old option in your user config file. Fix: just go to the preferences and edit the plugin: replace the 'y' letter with 'j'. Then save. * EAZEL THEME ENGINE BROKEN In Mandrake-8.0, a user reported that gtktalog would crash while displaying the reports window. He solved the problem upgrading mandrake_desk to the 8.0-12mdk version (previous was 8.0-8mdk). The problem seems to be the Eazel theme engine that is broken in 8.0-8mdk. * LIBTOOL IS NECESSARY TO BUILD RPM In the Mandrake distribution, you need libtool to build a RPM package of gtktalog. This is a dependancy that seems to be the same on a lot of packages. So gtktalog.spec will not contain a requirement for that tool just like all the other packages. Just know it! * DUPLICATE ENTRIES IN "RECENT FILES" SUBMENU As GnomeFileEntry and GtkFileSelection expand links differently, if you have symbolic links, you can have a duplicate entry in the "recent files" submenu. There is nothing to do but not having symbolic links there. And wait for a similar way to expands links in gnome and gtk+ if this happens one day. * UPDATE DISK CRASH OR STRANGE BEHAVIOUR; CD MOUNT POINT CHANGE Some catalogs seem buggy with mount points. That can make gtktalog either crash, do nothing or update an empty CD. To update your catalog, compile gtktalog with ./configure --enable-fixcd ; make ; make install Then load the buggy catalogs and save them. You need to do that just once, and you can even recompile gtktalog as usual and load your catalogs. * UPDATE DISK IMPOSSIBLE OR WRONG PATH Buggy catalogs where a disk could not be updated can be repaired: compile gtktalog with ./configure --enable-fixcd ; make ; make install Then load the buggy catalogs and save them. You need to do that just once, and you can even recompile gtktalog as usual and load your catalogs. However, for such catalogs, the new path may be the CD mount point. That is because gtktalog has no way to know what was the real mount point. You can update manually the disk to fix this: remove the disk, then scan it again. * WRONG ICONS If you installed gtktalog-0.11.1 as your first gtktalog release, you probably have the generic gtktalog.cf with wrong DefaultOpened*Icon file names. To use the right files, either remove your ${HOME}/.gtktalog/gtktalog.cf file or try this: $ mv ${HOME}/.gtktalog/gtktalog.cf ${HOME}/.gtktalog/gtktalog.cf.bad $ cat ${HOME}/.gtktalog/gtktalog.cf.bad | grep -v DefaultOpened > ${HOME}/.gtktalog/gtktalog.cf Then rerun gtktalog. This bug is just an esthetic bug. GTKtalog will neither crash nor corrupt anything because of it. * COMPILATION PB WITH SGML STUFF This bug should not happen if you don't hack the gtktalog docs. So users and code hackers don't need to read this. When I tried to make the documentation, I noticed that it was not working on my Mandrake-7.2. Here is how I manage to make it work: rpm -Uvh openjade-1.3-8mdk.i586.rpm rpm -Uvh sgml-common-0.2-1mdk.i586.rpm rpm -Uvh docbook-dtd31-sgml-1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm rpm -Uvh sgml-tools-1.0.9-8mdk.i586.rpm rpm -Uvh docbook-style-dsssl-1.57-1mdk.i586.rpm rpm -Uvh docbook-style-dsssl-doc-1.57-1mdk.i586.rpm I do not know if there are others, but if yes, install them. Next, and that may be the bug: cd /usr/lib/sgml mkdir stylesheets cd stylesheets ln -s /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.57 nwalsh-modular Do not ask why I did this. It works. This seems fixed on Mandrake-8.0
