Comment on VCS 1.11 released by Toni

Hi John, and thanks for using the script Here're a couple notes regarding your issue:

First of all, editing the script is usually not required. In this case, you can achieve the same result by creating a file named either /etc/vcs.conf or ~/.vcs.conf and adding to it:

font_tstamps=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf font_heading=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

Or even tighter:
font_tstamps=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf font_heading=$font_tstamps

Second… I'm surprised Karmic's ImageMagick recognizes DejaVu with a different name than Debian Sid, but anyway, you can get its actual name with
$ convert -list font | grep -B 5 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf | head -1 in case you prefer to use a symbolic name instead of a path.

I know it's annoying since it gets printed a lot of times but ImageMagick falls back to some other font. Nonetheless I might add some workaround if every OS turns out to name fonts differently. Thanks for the report.

After upgradign to vcs 1.11 I receive the following error messages in Ubuntu Karmic:

convert: unable to read font `DejaVu-Sans-Book' @ annotate.c/RenderType/1075.

Changing lines 267 and 268 to read:

declare font_tstamps=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf # Used for timestamps over the thumbnails
declare font_heading=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf # Used for the meta info heading

fixed this.

Hi Chris.

Yes, VCS is still alive, I'm not working on it right now but I haven't abandoned the project, so feel free to send me those notes if you want, just keep in mind I've no access to any OS X installation to try anything :/

Use mail (outlyer at gmail dot com) or these comments section (I'd prefer mail )

Are you still working on this? I have gotten it working on Mac OS X and I have a few notes for you.

Thanks

As for zeroing out unused disk space on Windows, you can use SDelete. Run sdelete -c C: to fill free space on drive C: with zeros. Cheers, Colin

Hi, thank you

Judging by what's on that line I guess RHEL4 includes a bash version too old (bash 3.1 is the minimum version required –use "bash --version" to display it). I'm sorry if that's the problem, but for my own sanity I decided to target relatively new bash versions only :/

Tell me if your bash is newer in case I missed something.

I love VCS, and I use it currently on my home CentOs 5 server.
However, when I try to run this on my other server (RHEL 4) I get a error:

./vcs-1.0.100a: line 1063: syntax error near unexpected token `"$VCSTEMPDIR"'

Do you have any idea what the problem is here?
