rox regression

I think rox should be downgraded to pre 2.0 in the official repo. I just upgraded to 2.4 and have had my computer lock up 4 times in different wm's in the past 2 days everything else runs great but rox.

I believe in having bleeding edge programs, except in the all important file managers, especially when they go from being great, to peices of shit in a matter of a few months. The new rox is unacceptable. Let someone pick up the new updates in aur for the poor saps that need the newest rox. This isn't for my benefit i already downgraded, im thinking of the community.

Thanks, nathan

I've been on their mailing list for about a year, and have hacked the crap out of earlier versions so i'm not just complaing about a few issues i have and, i wish arch would use a pre 2.0 version in the repo.

I personally have absolutely no issues with rox. It runs perfectly as it always has.

Not sure why it is giving you problems, but If you want, you can grab the source and compile one of the older versions

I'll validate this as Rox did crash for me this morning but thats once. Hasn't done it since and it was while generating video thumbnails, something I just recently enabled and something I'm going to disable because it is hardly quick and entirely unnecessary

Other than that though, seems okay for me.

For 1 they have added nothing new in the last 8 months, just a bunch of crap. And like i said, I compile it from source, and hack the crap out of it and check the cvs weekly. but recently have been lazy and using the arch packages. i see no reason to upgrade past 2.0, If anyone see's a feature(there are none) that you would get from a new version, please let me know. its turning to total crap.

if anyone else is having crashes from rox, don't be shy and post it here.

I haven't had any problems with 2.4 at all. So it would seem there is some configuration issue on your machine or something. Packages are tested thoroughly before moving into repos, so this is not an issue with the program itself. Not trying to blame you, or anything... Maybe you overlooked something?

I did a fresh install of rox on a fresh install of arch, it wasnt me who overlooked something.

I was really pissed off when i made this topic, in retrospect I should have posted it in the workstation forum and asked for opinions instead of requesting a downgrade. I still think rox is going to crap, but so has this topic

and i haven't experienced any errors with rox at all and i have also been on the rox bandwagon for a long time. Something relating to 0install perhaps? delete all the 0install stuff perhaps?
