Problem setting dasher speed using 0.4.10
Last modified: 2010-03-29 20:51:05 UTC
When I run the new dasher 0.4.10, I find that I cannot easily change dasher's speed. There is a spinbutton with the default setting of "0.1". However, it does not seem that clicking on the spinbutton "up" button makes the value go up, nor can I enter any higher value than 0.1 into the entry field. So dasher remains slow. If I go to Edit->Preferences, and go to the "Control" tab, I can change the "Speed" value to a higher value. Then dasher works faster. However, when I quit and restart dasher, the value goes back to 0.1 for some reason and is slow again until I re-change the value in Edit->Preferences on the "Control" tab. Can dasher be fixed so it is easier to set the speed value?
Same problem here with dasher 4.10 compiled on the development release of Ubuntu jaunty. I used the tarball downloaded from dashers homepage. The problem however is not new to me: it already occurred on dasher 4.9. (I don't know whether it also occurs in versions prior to 4.9.)

That fixes the speed value at the bottom of the main window. If the value goes back, it should go back to 1.0 now. Now for my gnome problem: I can't tag dasher! % svn cp . svn+ssh://svn.gnome.org/svn/dasher/tags/DASHER_4_10_0 Permission denied (publickey). svn: Connection closed unexpectedly I don't get my key's password prompt? This is the same directory I can successfully svn commit from! Is there some way one of you could tag it for me if I tar up the relevant directory? (emailing gnome-infrastructure-list@gnome.org just tells me I'm not allowed to post, accounts@gnome.org tell me to email gnome-infrastructure-list, and so I can run around in circles) I'd obviously like to tag the release before carrying on with commits...
I verified that this patch fixes the problem for me.
I keep turning off the "adapt speed automatically" check box, but Dasher turns it back on after some period of time! I am using version 4.10.0, but I had the same problem with versions 4.6 and 4.7. Not sure this is the same problem as above, but seems related.
First part of fix applied. Gave up trying to tag dasher. If I don't have permissions to carry out the job of maintainer and am given the run a round, so be it.

I can't reproduce this, and the following test works for me: - start dasher - copy -R ~/.gconf/apps/dasher4 ~/.gconf/apps/dasher4.before - change the check box - stop dasher (optional) - diff -u ~/.gconf/apps/dasher4.before ~/.gconf/apps/dasher4 and you'll see that the value of AutoSpeedControl has changed and is saved. How do you reproduce this?
Gerald, please reopen this bugreport if this is still an issue. I'm closing as FIXED for now as per comment #4 and comment #6.
