Hello everyone, i just made a small update to TAS script since wasnt displaying some Dialog Boxs "func_dlg () " but problem fix now and i have clean the code a litter bit more gonna clean more and better "at least for my point of view" and i hope this is usefull to every one who loves TAS.
P.S. I rename the version to 1.16 and gonna add more Variables in order to have an option to make multi language translation

If you think that TAS needs fixing I suggest that you contact JakeSFR.

I made only a quick comparison with TAS 1.15 and your version and found that most of your changes are cosmetic, sometimes reverting to an obsolete syntax style and sometimes potentially wrong, e.g.

Code: Select all

IFS=""

is not the same as

Code: Select all

IFS='
'

@JakeSFR Is there already a TAS thread in the current forum? I couldn't find one.
Would be nice to have a place where users can post comments, ideas and praise ;)

Never a good idea to do that. TAS already has a author/maintainer. If you want to change the script you should either contact originator or fork under a different name to avoid user confusion via multiple version uploads, which is just bad practice overall even if the fork contains improvements that some may appreciate.

I looked at the diff and there are some strange, breaking changes, like LANG=C, which basically disables the use of other translations than English.

Another one:

Code: Select all

if [ "${1}" != "relaunch" ] && [ "`xwininfo -root | grep -w Depth | awk '{print $2}'`" -lt 26 ] ; then
  func_dlg WARN "$(gettext "Color depth is lower than 24bits.")" \
                "$(gettext "TAS may not work 100% properly.")" \
                "$(gettext "Try to use 'xorgwizard' to change the setting.")"
fi

where 24 was for some reason increased to 26, what makes this warning always show up at startup, unnecessarily.

The IFS mentioned by Mochi - with your modification using spaces in output filename doesn't work anymore.

So, can you tell me what is the actual problem with TAS and I'll see how to address it?

No, I don't think so, I couldn't find it either. Fixed: viewtopic.php?p=71991

Thxx for your Replay,... but im new with bash and all this stuff about updates,... but next time i will take that into acount,... Thank you very much.
P.S yes most of the code are cosmetic since its the way i make code "so that i can get it/understand better for my self thats all" but version 1.15 if you run via terminal the dialogs don't display :)

To this end, Fred 'modified' TakeAShot, and built TakeAGif.....which allows you to create short GIF sequences directly at the click of a button. The above images were all created with it.
