[Minor] Linux packaging: launch script not executable, etc
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2015 7:51 pm
Hi,
In 4.4.9-Jun19 and Jul07-x64.deb, the launching script is not executable after install, it needs to be chmod'ed manually.
The first lines of said script could be replaced:
OLD< install -d ~/ProtocaseDesigner/
OLD< mkdir ~/ProtocaseDesigner/UserLibrary
NEW> mkdir -p ~/ProtocaseDesigner/UserLibrary
This would avoid the "file exists" error on startup (displays in the terminal only).
Also, the version stated in the package manifest is 4.4.8; Ideally each release should have a unique (and alphanumerically sortable) version (such as 4.4.9-2015-06-19)
On setups with multiple (2) monitors, the 'popups' tend to appear straddling the monitors (in the center of the whole display). I think that Java exposes something to handle this, but I don't know if it would work with my NVidia metamodes setup (although it is common)
Thanks for the linux package nonetheless, it's great not to have to run a virtualbox!
