Hi @Roland! first of all I really love XFE and all work you've done! thanks a lot! Regarding the controls, I also liked the old style which matches better my current IceWM look and feel of old '95 like stuff. So, is it all removed? could I change some flag and recompile to get the old look? I was looking the moderncontrols.cpp hoping to find some hidden option I could disable/enable :/ Actually I see I was using the "clearlooks" one but in version 2 it's different because there's no border lines...

There is no such issue in Ubuntu 24.04 with gcc 13.3.0 so maybe your issue is related to your OpenSuse Leap system?
-
In < 2.0 versions, there was a choice between Windows 95 controls (named 'classic controls') and gradient controls (named 'modern controls'). There was no flat theme. I removed the classic control because it's a lot of work to maintain both control styles...

[FTBS] xfe v2.0.1 on openSUSE Leap 15.6
-
I got this error when compiling with gcc-13 (on openSUSE Leap 15.6) using C standard "c11" On invoking gcc-13 with -std=gnu11, this error did not arise. It seems that gnu11 pulls in some extra defines that are not included with just c11.
-
OK, thanks for the patch. It will be included in the next release.

I have fixed my problem regarding the automounts. Found out about udevil/devmon and started using it (added devmon & to my startup script). It's very small, way smaller than udiskie. Had to change the xfe unmount command to "udevil umount" so non-root user could unmount. Works, and I don't need to use the script I had. Thanks for your great software! (Still waiting for the fix to the memory leaks, however!)

I tested this small program some time ago and it worked: https://github.com/tom5760/usermount There is also this one: https://github.com/rbrito/usbmount (not tested), reported as working here: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=311091

Yes, I CAN use "udiskie" to auto-mount my USB sticks. It just takes up ~25 MB (?) just sitting there all the time on my little 2 GB RAM machine, which is what I'm trying to avoid. I spent much of the day trying various scripts, commands and such with the udev rules to auto-mount the USB sticks, and could not get it to work except to be mounted by and for root. I have a working script solution that I'll just have to live with and use.

Maybe you need to tweak the options in fstab: I used 'defaults' but there are plenty others... And the best would be to install an automounter...

Thanks, Roland, BUT -- not only did that not work for me, it caused me not to be able to boot my HP Stream 13 notebook running MX Linux 23.5 Fluxbox edition. I finally waited long enough during the boot to see a message about a "timeout waiting for dev-sda.device...." I had to plug in a bootable USB linux and edit the /etc/fstab -- first thinking I must have flubbed the syntax or didn't have a CRLF at the end of the line or something. THEN I saw the comment at the top of the file: # Pluggable devices...

In Xfe, mount points are directory paths, not devices. So if you have an automounter, Xfe will retrieve the mount point by reading /proc/mounts, and it will show up in the Places view. If you don't have an automounter, then you need to define the mount point in /etc/fstab, like this (example): /dev/sdd1 /media/my_name vfat defaults 0 0 and then, in Xfe you can mount / umount the USB disk, but only in root mode.

Thanks, Roland! I guess I didn't (still don't) know how to use the mount tool. I DID try it and could not get it to work for me. FWIW, the main environment this is a bigger issue for me is in an MX Linux install on an HP Stream 13 notebook, which has a non-upgradable 2 GB RAM. On that machine, I don't keep anything always running like daemonized Thunar or udiskie. The way I've been doing this is by making a bookmark to /dev/disks/by-uuid and when a USB stick is plugged in, it shows up there. I click...

HI, thanks for the report. Here are my answers: - custom mount command: it's in Edit / Preferences / Programs / Volume management - memory leak: yes, I already found it and it's fixed in the next version (to be released very soon) - name change: from the beginning, application names wer xfe, xfi, xfp, xfw and now xfa. Long time ago, the Debian package maintainer changed the name of xfi, xfw, and xfp applications because of name conflicts with some other (rather obscure?) packages.

Just ran an example. Prior to mounting one of my partitions via script, xfe's memory footprint was 30.5 MB. After mount, it's 32.7 MB. Then, after using xfe unmount menu action, it's 33.3 MB. Did another one, went to 35 MB then 38.3 MB.

Starting with Xfe 2.0, I released an installer that requires no dependency. To install Xfe, type in a terminal: chmod +x xfe-install-linux-amd64.run sudo ./xfe-install-linux-amd64.run

In Xfe 2.0, if an MTP device is plugged and if your system has gvfs then the device is shown in the Places view and can be unmounted.
