@Nuno
As reported here, the 'old' Setkeyboard script included by you in the ScriptPack does not work in WinBuilder, even after the adaptation I made as for all other scripts of the ScriptPack.
I thought it could conflict with the Autolocalization script, but it doesn't work either with the basic set of building scripts (no autolocalization).
It's rather important to me, as its absence makes the build almost unusable.
Can you help in pointing to me the changes to make?
Thanks
edborg

I've found a usable keyboard script on openbuilder 046 - available here: http://www.boot-land...ilder/packages/

I hope this is what you're looking for, otherwise you can post your script version and I'll check what needs to be done.

Here's the script:
 Keyboard.script   11.46KB   361 downloads

Also looked into your updated scripts - you should definitively post a topic for each on the development forum and/or in the download area.. Nice work!

I've found a usable keyboard script on openbuilder 046 - available here: http://www.boot-land...ilder/packages/

I hope this is what you're looking for, otherwise you can post your script version and I'll check what needs to be done.

Problem solved!

Thanks for the script.
Actually, it's not different from the one I had converted from the old syntax (apart from offering a much wider choice of different keyboards).
Unfortunately it didn't work until I discovered (it wasn't that easy!) that the culprit is not the keyboard script, but rather, as I had thought since the beginning, the Autolocalization script.
What I hadn't realised before is that Autolocalization is somewhat hard to kill, as disabling it is not enough.
In fact it creates a script which is stored in the Archive folder and run automatically; this script is not erased after running, so that at the next run it's executed again, even if the Autolocalization is disabled and the Target is completely cleared!
This seems to me a bug difficult to find out

In addition, IMHO it's a conceptual error including the keyboard in the Autolocalization process, as it often happens not to be of the same language as the installed OS.

Also looked into your updated scripts - you should definitively post a topic for each on the development forum and/or in the download area.. Nice work!

Thanks for your comment.
What do you mean? The post I've already made is not enough?
If so, I'll add them individually

It would be good to have a seperate Topic for each script. That way if a user has a problem they can report it seperately and it also makes it easier to find a specific application script.

They keyboard thing can be discussed with psc when he comes back.
You bring up a good point about the keyboard sometimes not being of the same origin as the OS version.

He is back now

@edborg

I thought it could conflict with the Autolocalization script, but it doesn't work either with the basic set of building scripts (no autolocalization).

If you use autoLocalization, there is no need to setup a keyboard because setting up the keyboard is a part of autoLocalization.

If you do not want to use autoLocalization, you should try AutoKeyboard.Script
Compared with the 'old' keyboard script it has

the advantage: It works for all languages which have latin-like characters including greek, I think cyrillic, too.
the disadvantage: It builds the keyboard from your actual PC's locale information: Greek keyboard from US host is not possible.

What I hadn't realised before is that Autolocalization is somewhat hard to kill, as disabling it is not enough.
In fact it creates a script which is stored in the Archive folder and run automatically; this script is not erased after running, so that at the next run it's executed again, even if the Autolocalization is disabled and the Target is completely cleared!

I'm going to change this behaviour.
Thanks

Peter

@edborg
I checked my code and found only one place where 'script which is stored in the Archive folder' (named 'processLocalization.script') is only executed from inside autoLocalization.script.

Run,"%script%",Process-Locales,%DriveLetter%

with

%script%=%BaseDir%\Archive\autoTweaks\autoLocalization\processLocalization.script

That means: If autoLocalization.Script is unchecked this code never is executed.

Can you please explain what exactly happens on your system when processLocalization is running as a ghost?
The best will be to post the log of the complete build.

@edborg
After beeing outside for a while it tooks some time to realize everything what happened in between.
Anywhere I found you posting

Yes, I do!
Apparently, Autolocalization assumes that one uses the keyboard in the same language of the build, which is not my case. However, what I don't understand is that, even with Autolocalisation disabled, SetKeyboard (which worked fine in OpenBuilder) does no longer work in Winbuilder. blink.gif
I'd appreciate any help to make it work again. smile.gif (I use an italian keyboard with an english XP).
edborg

Now I understand your intention.
I'm thinking about:

Use (if necessary) autoKeyboard after autoLocalization.
Give autoKeyboard the options:
- use your 'native' keyboard
- use locale xxx (e.g. 00000410 for italian)

@edborg
and
@all

Agreed?

[Nuno Brito]

That's good idea!

Welcome back and to the idea.

Lets see if Ove can make explorer work if there is no Ramdrive and a person whiches to use the FBWF File Based Write Filter Script Instead of the B drive. Or a combination of the two like now but with ability to use either the Drive being used as X or the B drive to hold the Explorer Settings. I think Ill post something in his Explorer thread.

[Nuno Brito]

@Nuno: Can you attcah your file instead of posting it's source?

It is posted on the above topic, you can also find all the other "old" scripts and files on:
http://www.boot-land.net/openbuilder/

Still need some time to create a special folder to keep all previous releases (including the ones from batcher)..

Thanks for following up the issues raised with my posts.
I appreciate the usefulness of your Autolocalization script, though, building from an english XP, I personally don't need it and can't test its features.
What I really need is the 'old' SetKeyboard script (that works fine for me), but if your AutoKeyboard can be modified as you suggest (either reading the native settings or forcing a selection as in the present SetKeyboard, that would be great, giving the maximum of flexibility in every situation.

As you are at it, why not to include the same option (reading from native settings rather than from OS source) to Autolocalization (dates, numbers, currencies). This way I could also use Autolocalization.

Currently I'm working on this

When finished, autoKeyboard will remain obsolete.
Peter

BTW: If you look into autoKeyboard.Script: It copies the host's keyboard settings to the build, not settings from CD.

And what do you think about getting also dates, numbers, currencies from host?

A new version of autoLocalize.script is available.
