Hi Jim, hi list,
You encountered some problems :
- Under GNU/Linux only root user can get the disk label and may be user
who have "su" rights.
- You can change the volume label in GWhere with a right click on the disk
and select "Change volume name".
- I've just saw the problem with Win98SE (and may be with Win95 OSR2). I
don't think it's a problem with GTK Runtime. I think it's a problem with
win32 call functions. You can prevent this problem with disable the option
"Display information" in the "Managment" tabbed pane.
I am very sorry for the nuisance with the Win98SE version. I will
investigate to solve quickly the problem.
I hope to have answered to all your questions.
Best regards,
Zero
Is anyone using GWhere successfully with Win98SE? If so, what's the
secret?
I'm using the package (version 0.1.1) nicely under Mandrake 8.1, but
there it fails to pick up the volume name for each CD that I'm adding to
the catalog. Neither does it recognize the disk type. I had hopes that
installing it on a Win98SE machine on my home-office LAN would overcome
the volume-name problem and make generation of a comprehensive archive
catalog much simpler.
However, on the Win98SE machine it takes several minutes for the initial
display to complete and become usable, and during that time the machine
is totally frozen as if all interrupts have been shut off. Each selection
has a similar delay. It fails to detect the CD-ROM drive even though I
can have it open in a background window. The only thing that it DOES do
as expected is display the catalog created by Mandy 8.1 once I've mapped
that machine to a Windows drive letter (and put up with the long delay
after each mouse click).
I suspect the problem is in the gtk runtime package but that's just a
guess.
Alternatively if anyone can tell me how to make the Mandy 8.1
installation read the Volume Label from the CD so that I can enter it as
the disk name, that would solve my problem and obviate any need to use
the Windows version...
