The great yad hacking thread

S7.L · 2019-02-04 11:52:05

Im trying to create my own cancel button instead of using the gtk cancel button shipped with yad, i think i have it figured but i dont like the fact this command kills all instances of yad, i just want it to cancel the exit dialog only, so basically kill itself lol. Is that possible? Im using the --no-buttons flag so it doesn't show the cancel or ok buttons.

yad --no-buttons --form --width=250 --center --on-top --undecorated --text-align="center" --text="Exit Artix" \
--field="logout":fbtn "openbox --exit" \
--field="reboot":fbtn "sudo reboot" \
--field="poweroff":fbtn "sudo poweroff" \
--field="lock":fbtn "slock" \
--field="cancel":fbtn "yad-cancel" \

Edit:

Probably not the best solution but it works, find and kill a process in regex.

Found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/351 … -and-regex

script is called "yad-cancel" and gets called by last field fbtn in the yad script.

#!/bin/bash

kill $(ps aux | awk '/Exit Artix/ {print $2}')

Edit 2. No need for grep.

Ok so i figured it out in the one script instead of calling another with the use of a function. Very cool

#!/bin/bash

yad-cancel() {
	kill $(ps aux | awk '/Exit Artix/ {print $2}')
}

yad --no-buttons --form --width=250 --center --on-top --undecorated --text-align="center" --text="Exit Artix" \
--field="logout":fbtn "openbox --exit" \
--field="reboot":fbtn "sudo reboot" \
--field="poweroff":fbtn "sudo poweroff" \
--field="lock":fbtn "slock" \
yad-cancel --field="cancel":fbtn ""\

damo · 2019-02-04 17:46:27

Or get the process id when you first start yad, then use that to kill it

yad
yadPID=$!

...

kill $yadPID

^^ thanks for that damo and misko, seems my script was way off and stopped working which is weird because it was working yesterday.

I actually tried " Kill -USR1 $YAD_PID" in the functionbut was unsure how to call in the field button, so that helped me understand a bit better misko, thanks.

so export -f

Options
      -f   The names refer to shell functions; 
           otherwise the names refer to shell variables.

and bash -c

      -c        If the -c option is present, then commands are read from the
                 first non-option argument command_string.  If there are
                 arguments after the command_string, the first argument is
                 assigned to $0 and any remaining arguments are assigned to
                 the positional parameters.  The assignment to $0 sets the
                 name of the shell, which is used in warning and error
                 messages.

Back again, i love yad.

I cant take full credit for this as i found it here http://smokey01.com/yad/.

But i modified it to suit, so this is a feh wallpaper picker, unfortunatly it just shows you a list of where you keep your wallpapers and when you double click a directory item in the list it sets the background wallpaper in scale mode eg; --bg-scale.
This could be hacked so much more to be similar to nitrogen i think.

So once you set an image to background feh in its awesomeness created ~/.fehbg script you can autostart from .xinitrc or openbox autostart or where programs you autostart are.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

yad --title="--dclick-action=CMD" --width=700 --height=400 --separator=" " --list --dclick-action="feh --bg-scale" --column=Fehpicker $HOME/Pictures/Walls/*

scrot..

^ I didn't get that gtk warning when i run it from the terminal but i will definitely take your word for it and add it in.

How to make the button immediately cancel all processes and close the window after confirm dialog?

I made another working installer (similar on the screenshots above) with GTK2/3 YAD and percentage progress (without log expander), without pv etc, only YAD and archiver. But here is no way to give you a cloud link to its for testing.

I've a couple of questions for you about window manager. There is a script with pop-up dialog while close the window (after count actions):

#!/bin/bash

while true; do

Record=(`yad --text "Click Action button or close this window" \
        --width=400 --height=300 --center --button="Action":1`)
Action=$?

if [[ $Action == 1 ]]; then
    yad --width=300 --height=100 --title="Do you want to Action?" \
    --text "Click OK to confirm Action" --center
    ret=$?

    # Cancel = 252, OK = 0
    if [[ $ret == 0 ]]; then
    ((TransCount++))
        let i=1
    while [ $i -lt $ListArrCnt ]; do
        if [ ${ListArr[$i]} -eq ${RecArr[1]} ]; then
        # Matching record number
        j=$(($i - 1))
        k=$(($j + $RecArrCnt))
        while [ $j -lt $k ] ; do
            unset 'ListArr[$j]'
            j=$(($j + 1))
        done
        for i in "${!ListArr[@]}"; do
                NewArr+=( "${ListArr[$i]}" )
        done
        ListArr=("${NewArr[@]}")
        unset NewArr
        let i=$(($ListArrCnt + 1)) # force exit from while loop
        else
        let i=$(($i + $RecArrCnt)) # Check next entry
        fi
    done
    fi

elif [[ $Action == CLOSE ]] || [[ $Action == 252 ]]; then
    # Cancel-quit or X close the window or Escape
    if [[ $TransCount -gt 0 ]]; then
    yad --question --center --on-top --text "You have made $TransCount action(s). Do you really want to quit?"
    rc=$?
    if [[ $rc -eq 0 ]]; then
        exit
    fi
    else
    exit
    fi
fi

done

But I don't figure out how to do this in installer script, i.e. WM close button action the same as Cancel-quit.

Second issue

I add "--splash" instead "--undecorated" and now Alt+F4 don't close the window.
Good bye Alt+Tab/Taskbar But it'better than nothing. The window can now be closed only with Quit button.

Thank so much. I'll see it later.

//upd
The closing action window is working, but there is no filling of the progress bar, although the percentages are working.

//upd2
Hmm, it works completely (the progress bar is being filled) with the real unpacking, but if the window closes, the request dialog doesn't appear.
Here is an example: yadi.sk/d/07nC3KGxevzcYA

You'll figure it out eventually.
I like to help but realy don't want to run those BLOBs in the archive.
It's more than enough having all those proprietary BLOBs in the linux kernel.

There is no proprietary BLOBs in the tar.
Except the game itself in the pak.arc (archive) file that I packed with the FreeArc archiver. See github links in readme.txt, encode.ru and others sites.

Of course, running the game is not necessary.
If you want, I can pack something else.

Hello misko_2083,
in another forum you have ever helped very well. Now I find you here again by chance and have a question: I have created a YAD code under Linux Mint 18.3 and would like to build a progress bar for the FFMPEG command. But I need help. Here is my code:

#!/bin/bash

# videoformat auf 16:9 einstellen

cd /
cd /home/achim/Videos/

            --button=" Abbrechen!/home/achim/.icons/Button-stop-icon24.png":1 --button=" OK!/home/achim/.icons/Accept-icon24.png":0 \
            --file-filter='*.mp4')

pfadname=${filename}
verz=${filename%/*}
datm=${pfadname##*/}
dato=${datm%.*}

[[ -z "$filename" ]] && exit 0

cd /
cd "$verz"

va="$(ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "$datm")" # = 334.089000

va2=$(printf '%H:%M:%S' $(($secs/3600)) $(($secs%3600/60)) $(($secs%60)))
#va3=`date +%00:%M:%S`
va3="$(date +%T)"

ffmpeg -hide_banner -i "$datm" -vf scale="1920:1080" -aspect 16:9 -b:a 320000 "${datm%.*}-169.mp4" | yad --progress \

--title="Die Konvertierung des Videos  '$datm'  läuft..." --timeout=$va1 --timeout-indicator=Bottom --no-button --auto-kill --auto-close

exit 0

# va1 (334 Sekunden) = Laufzeit der Fortschrittanzeige für dieses Beispiel

Do you have a tip for me? (Sorry for my bad English)

^ all I can see is that ffmpeg itself does not know when it will be finished; where do you plan to get the percentages for the progress bar?
- Ok, answering my own question:

man ffmpeg
...
       -stats (global)
           Print encoding progress/statistics. It is on by default, to explicitly disable it you need to specify "-nostats".

       -progress url (global)
           Send program-friendly progress information to url.

           Progress information is written approximately every second and at the end of the encoding process. It is made of "key=value" lines. key consists of only alphanumeric characters. The last key
           of a sequence of progress information is always "progress".

achim · 2019-08-23 22:20:19

In between I helped myself a little and changed the code accordingly. But the progress bar is still a bit inaccurate. I keep working on it.

ohnonot · 2019-08-24 05:42:36

please use "$HOME" instead of /home/achim.
Makes it easier for others to test or use your script.

clusterF · 2019-08-24 13:11:33

@ achim, Might be a few hints in this script from here http://smokey01.com/help/yad-tips-0.0.2.html

#!/bin/sh

eval exec yad --title="xdf" \
	--image=drive-harddisk \
	--text="Disk\ usage:" \
	--buttons-layout=end \
	--width=650 \
	--multi-progress \

Hello everybody,

I have the code ready now and it works quite well. With the variables vb, vc and vd I have adjusted the speed of the progress bar, since ffmpeg runs faster with me than the tool ffprobe has determined. With the variable the speed of the progress bar can be changed according to the speed of the system.

If you can still make suggestions for improvement, I am always grateful for it.

I thank the users @ohnonot and @clusterF for their help.

Here is the script:

^ Great!
A few things:

"cd /" is pointless. Remove it.
mediainfo files: are they temprary? are you planning on keeping them? If not, it might be a good idea to clean up after the script has finished. And use a folder that is present on all systems, not only yours.
Why is the input limited to .mp4 files?
I tested, the progress bar ran out before conversion was finished. Just a minute or so, but that's bad.

achim · 2019-08-25 10:43:01

Thank you @ sononot

Top 1: done

Top 2: I will reconsider this point

Top 3: The selection can be extended (for example by changing the line 15 in --file-filter='*.mp4' --file-filter='*.m4a' --file-filter='*.avi')"

Top 4: Extend the runtime of the progress bar by increasing the variable vd (line 32) to 7, 8 or 9

Best regards
