Re: Working with CSV files

Thanks! I am a huge fan of text files and string manipulation. Most of the work done by DirLister, is string manipulation in fact. I'm thinking of how to write a book on the solutions applied in DirLister. There is a lot of code and lots of solutions that can be Copy/Pasted. Well, almost "Copy/...

Re: Ubuntu 18.04

I've noticed that gap too...
Anyway, the PPA works fine on Linux Lite 4.8. While on Linux Mint 18.x I never tried to install it, I did on Mint 19.3 and it also works fine.
So, in what's concerning Ubuntu 18.x, I suppose that the PPA will solve the problem, as Linux Lite is Ubuntu 18.x based.

Re: [Solved] Create settings conf file at beginning

Re: Animated gauge component

Looks great! I'll think about some ways to use it. The first idea that crossed my mind is for some web app to test net speed. This seems to be the best fit so far... Another idea, would be to make it a widget and pop it up if some procedure sucks a lot of time to finish. Something like: '--- Some ti...

Re: Technical Support Request Form

:D You made me laugh! :D Unfortunately, when I was doing service i often encountered minor problems turned into post-tornado pictures... I guess 75% of the questions, appear in real life as "Major trouble". Years ago, when I first encountered the meaning of RTFM, I laughed. Then I started ...
