yadgui

yadGUI is a very easy to use and with bash scripting it can become a very powerful too. I demonstrate here the use of yad options: yad --dnd (Drag & Drop dialog option) yad --file-op (yad intermal text editor).

First design of my YadPage where 15 yad GUI windows open. WIndows are populated from a text file that the user inserts links. One of the windows that shows blank is a Drag & Drop window. Drop pictures, web links, videos, documents. and they play. 1st Beta version.

Demonstrating Multi-window control using Yad --notebook, --form, --html --browser --uri="http://" & --uri="mp4", & drag & drop videos from Internet. Click & Build interface as well shown.

Ver 1.0 has launch icons by type of program. Just copy launchers to folder, icon-diplay, system, media, online, etc and launchers appear in launcher.

Using the yad --icons dialog and switching icon folders to allow selection of yad options creating an non-compiled Integrated Development Environment to simplify yad learning so that anyone no matter the skill level. Only simple bash scripting is used. No arrays, loop statements or complex variable assignment are used. Only simple bash commands and yes, the code is bloated but, even a 10 year old can learn this way.

Here is my alpha design for a Yad Script Building Tool. The bash script is very simple and by all aspects; bloated :) The sky is the limit when it comes Yad & Bash if one is to KISS.

Using Yadgui for a Drag & Drop Menu Builder using Desktop Icons Menu Launcher. yad --paned --icons --read-dir="/path/folder-name". .

Installed on Ubuntu + KDE Plasma Desktop: Install GTK3.x --> sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev Install KDE Plasma on Ubuntu --> sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop OK, gdm3, OK, Reboot, Click on login, Settings Icon = Plasma Install kde-config --> sudo apt-get install kde-config-gtk-sytle Install kde-config-preview --> sudo apt-get install kde-config-gtk-style-preview

You've heard of a Laptop; You've heard of a Desktop; This is Yad Gui Custom Desktop: YADTOP. Work in Progress.

Demonstrating the use of -tails --> yad --> file.log --> yad (same parent) --text-info window. Visit http://yadgui.com for code and more information about this code.

I created this for entertainment purposes only ^wink^ ^wink^ in 2017. The script is located on github. https://github.com/offternet/powerball-generator

Yadgui script in action displaying default gtk icons on Q4OS linux system. #!/bin/bash # Script Name: View GTK default icons using yad & bash # Author: Robert Cooper, Offternet.com, admin@yadportal.com # ver: 1.0 # Date: 2022/08/17 # License: GPL 3 # Research: Yad Gui Group - https://groups.google.com/g/yad-common # Yad Author is: Victor Ananjevsky # SPECIAL INSTALL Instructions - copy yad to yad2. For example on Debian.-> sudo cp /usr/local/bin/yad /usr/local/bin/yad # yad2 is used to close all icon displayed after Drag & Drop. KEY=$RANDOM # Note the use in function below of yad2. yad2 is same as yad program just with a different file name # This was easy way for me to keep main script up and close yad icon display windows. function uri_hndl { yad2 --width=100 --height=100 --html --browser --uri="${1:7}" } export -f uri_hndl yad --plug=$KEY --tabnum=1 --text="Browse icon - folders below.

Yad Text Dialog with bash scripting doing the heaving lifting. I was using FTP to upload and download between 2 computers "P2P". FTP is considered "not sescure" but, it was fund demonstrating another viable option using YAD & BASH.

YAD --paned Dialog = yad --> -tails --> file --> parent window display.

Yad --paned dialog with Feedback Yad --> -tails --> file --> Parent Window Displayed.

Yad --paned Dialog --> -tails --> file --> parent window progress display.
