Dose it delay? The button works for me but after hitting cancel everything disappears for about 10-30sec before the error message comes up.

I can't seem to figure out why it would do this. The code is exactly the same as the one for cleaning database(120).

Is there a link/area on the forums I can read about putting the script in the menu so I can launch it like launching getopenoffice.

-Thanks

I answered that previously.

You would need to create a .desktop file for it to have it show in your menu. Check /usr/share/applications for examples.

You need to create that .desktop file for there to be a menu entry.

Do you need it to be created by someone?

Well I would rather learn how.
Working on learning gtkdialog which might work better then zenity but it just seems like every thing makes a syntax error.

I had thought that might be the case.
A tip: In the .desktop files that you can review, under Name= and Comment= there may be a lot of entries in many languages. When creating your .desktop file, you do not need to be concerned about these translations.

Look at lxdecc for an example using gtkdialog.

IMO, for your script zenity is the better choice. However, if gtkdialog works for you, that is great, too. :)

Originally I saw the .desktop files but now I see this instead... There all executable etc.



(If pic goes blank its because I haven't paid my webhost in almost 2 months I need to do that)

Right click on for example, addlocale. Open it with your text editor. You will see how this .desktop file is structured. Now do the same for various others.

Yeah I tried that any of the one like getopenoffice are just the bash script. But all the ones that look like a gear open like this (I tried kwrite, geany, and vim)

Are you looking in /usr/share/applications and not /usr/bin?

So far so good this turned out to be much easier then i expected! By the way the icon is great.

Now only thing left is fixing that cancel button.

Do you know some one even if its on another forum or something I can pm/email to try and get the last cancel button fixed? Its totally baffling me! Why is it the cancel button works just fine for one part but not another?
