Hi,
i got a problem with idesk, if i try starting it, i get
Unknown file format: /home/trapdoor/.idesktop/rox.png
Is this problem known to any of you?
Offline
idesk is set up to use text files for is icon e.g
rox.ink
table Icon
Caption: rox
CaptionTip: filebrowser
Icon:/path/to/rox.png
X: 606
Y: 22
Width: 48
Height: 48
Command[0]: rox
Command[1]: gksudo rox
end
you should not have the .png files in the ~/.idesktop folder

I don't think that this is the problem, because i copied the icon.
.I will post my idesk configuration files maybe the error is somewhere in them
My .ideskrc
table Config
FontName: verdana
FontSize: 12
FontColor: #ffffff
Locked: false
Transparency: 100
Shadow: true
ShadowColor: #000000
ShadowX: 1
ShadowY: 2
Bold: false
ClickDelay: 300
IconSnap: true
SnapWidth: 55
SnapHeight: 100
SnapOrigin: BottomLeft
SnapShadow: true
SnapShadowTrans: 200
CaptionOnHover: false
end
table Actions
Lock: control right doubleClk
Reload: middle doubleClk
Drag: left hold
EndDrag: left singleClk
Execute[0]: left doubleClk
Execute[1]: right doubleClk
end
And my rox.lnk
table Icon
Caption: Rox
Command: rox
Icon: /home/trapdoor/.idesktop/rox.png
end

sorry i should have made it clearer that all you have in ~/.idesktop is the *.ink files you sholud have the *.png files in another dir, say ~/.ideskicons so your
rox.ink should be
table Icon
Caption: Rox
X: 0
Y: 0
Icon: /home/trapdoor/.ideskicons/rox.png
Command [0]: rox
end
you also need to change the "Command" line to "Command[0]" so you execute it with a double left click
X: 0 and Y:0 will start it in the top right you can move it by draging it with the left mouse button

ok so heres the deal in you home directory toy should have 2 hidden files that relate too idesk .idesktop and .ideskicons
in .idesktop you have youre foo.ink file
in .ideskicons you have foo.png
youre foo.ink sould be in the format that Tom E posted earlier
table Icon
Caption: Foo
X: 0
Y: 0
Icon: /home/trapdoor/.ideskicons/foo.png
Command [0]: foo
end
this will place foo.png on youre dektop at location 0,0 when you click on it it will run the command foo, just like if you typed it in a terminal
idek is exiting as it cannot find the ink file that defines what the icon is for

do you have rox.png in ~/.ideskicons?
is it a valid png file (open it in the gimp to check)?
try swaping ~/.ideskicons/rox.png for another png file
