Mount a Filesystem

[shie]

jonas, today i discovered the true power of the user action system
here's mine:

The problem is that the useraction-system is based on chunk-replacement, not a scripting-language. So the token %_ask()% will be replaced by the value you enter, nothing more. I'll have a look if it's possible to disable the cancel-button.
If you want ot cancel an action before the comandline is executed you have to use the checkbox on the advance-page. Then you will get a line-edit where the whole command (with substituted placeholders) is displayed. Here you can edit it again an also cancel the execution.

However I could add the ability to cancel at %_ask()%. Therefore I could replace the token with, lets say KRUSADER_UA_ASK_CANCEL and don't execute the commandline if this string is found in the command. But this wouldn't solve your problem because if you cancel the first %_ask% the others will be displayed anyway....

I want to add real scripting using KJSEmbeded (I heard also of KScript which should make it more easy to add JS-scriptinng to a programm but this is not done yet) in the far, far future. Then some more complicated actions will be possible.

[jbaehr]

OK, I played a bit and now it's possible for every placeholder to cancel an execution.
Please check out the latest CVS and let me know if that solves your little problem

Since I'm working on JavaScript-support for Krusader, I created a sample extension which does the same then your Useraction but with a real GUI
check out the newest CVS and try this:
http://www.jonas-baehr.de/forum/root-mount-extension.tar.bz2
(You need KJSEmbed installed. Gentoo-users can emerge it directly while others have to install the package KDEbindings)

Something else: If a programm called by an useraction does not exits like exepted, Krusader will crash (in this case if mount can't find the mountpoint or so).
I know that this is a very heavy bug, but I haven't any idea how to fix this :/

[shie]

why should it crash?
what am i missing?

Try to mount (via useraction, meaning KrActionProc) /dev/lalala, assuming that you don't have a device named lalalala. Then mount doesn't exist normaly but with an error. On my machine this causes krusader to crash. It's the same with every app which don't terminate normaly.[/u]

[shie]

here's what i did:
1) create the mount user-action
2) ask it to run in terminal - or collect output - don't remember
3) run mount
4) got error: only root can do that (not normal exit)

krusader didn't crash

is that what u mean?

I've fixed a nasty usability-issue for the JavaScript-extensions. With a newly introduced variable scriptDir the extensions should always find thier .ui-files.
Check out the latest CVS (make sure you have libKJSEmbed installed), grap http://www.jonas-baehr.de/forum/root-mount-extension.tar.bz2 and have fun
