Seems great
I have to test it

 

If i still had linux then i would definitely give it a go.
May i suggest writing it in spanish then either using a translation site or someone who is fluent in both languages to proof read it but still kudos for the app.

 

I hope you don't mind but I cleaned up the English in your initial post as best as I could. There were some areas I didn't totally understand so please proofread my editing if you choose to use it. Thank you for all your work and best of luck in the development.

First, let me say that my language native is Spanish and I'm only an average writer. If you don't understand the text please let me know so that it can be corrected.

In April, I published an update the brought Wiithon from version 0.95 to 0.98. This version was in Spanish and only supported CLI. (GNOME ONLY: a GUI is available as a plugin for nautilus).
In June, after 2 months of work, I published Wiithon 1.0. This version is CLI as well but now also has a GUI based in GTK. It works in GNOME, KDE, and other windows managers that support GTK. I also implemented multiple language support(i8n) with the library "gettext". So far, Wiithon has been translated to Spanish / English and Brasilian.
In the future I plan to publish Wiithon 1.1 in August with new features such as classifying each game with tags. And if I get a hosting, I hope to create a database of all tags with functionality similar to that of Delicious. Some examples of tag fields would be "year" , "quarter" , "number of players", "online available", and "ranking 1-5" (as rhythmbox).

<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Features that make wiithon "special"<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
--------------------------------------------------------------
- GUI based on GTK, only for GNU/Linux
- Manage multiple partitions in a simple user interface
- Translated into 1 languages
- Wiithon uses a database (SqlLite) which allows display of all game covers.
- Wiithon is ready to be associated with ISO files. A simple double click will add your ISO to the drive.
- Will efficiently search games via IDGAME and TITLE
- Copy partitions between WBFS. (1:1 copy). Copy 1 game or all, avoiding any replacement to the destination.
- Refresh WBFS partitions without having to reopen the program.
- Option to avoid running Wiithon as root by giving the option to run in user space.
- Add ISO by Drag & Drop
- Add a directory, search for all ISO files recursively
- Rename game name (maximum 128 characters)
- Rename idgame game (up to 6 characters and letters and numbers)
- The table can be ordered by any of its columns.
- Download cover and disc art automatically (stored in ~/.wiithon/caratulas and ~/.wiithon/discos)
- Maintains the CLI interface of Wiithon 0.98 by using the parameter "-c" or "-no-gui"
- For simple operations such as downloading covers up to 6 parallel threads will be used to spee dthe process.
- For complex operations, such as write / read WBFS, only a single operation is allowed so as to maximize throughput and avoid errors.

<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Known Issues<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
- Of the 16 language translations only 3 are complete
- libwbfs does not always accurately reflect the time remaining in the operation.

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->2. Download<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
For downloading the source code, I opted to use the same repository used for development. This takes advantage of the features of launchpad hosted code including ease of upgrading.

First we need to install bazaar:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo aptitude install bzr<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Now in the folder you want to download the source code, type:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wii.sceners.linux/wiithon/stable wiithon<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

The last command created a directory that we need to enter so type:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->cd wiithon<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Now we turn to the installation

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->3. Installation<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

There are 2 options, depending on whether your distribution uses <b>apt-get or not</b>:

<!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><i>+ Option 1 (Automatic, with apt-get)</i><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

Unistall all previous versions. Then, its time to compile the code: (It will correct permissions to use wiithon without root)

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo make install_auto_and_fix<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

First time that wiithon is installed you, <b>must reboot GNOME/KDE</b>, because your user was added to group "disk". This essential change will not take effect until the next session.

<!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><i>+ Option 2 (standard, without apt-get)</i><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

<b>1º</b> Uninstall previous versions of Wiithon:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo make uninstall<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

<b>2º</b> Install these dependencies with your package manager:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->rar menu imagemagick intltool python-sexy python-sqlalchemy python-gtk2 python-glade2 gnome-icon-theme<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

if you have a 64-bit platform, you must also install this package:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->libc6-dev-i386<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

<b>3º</b> Install:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo make install<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

<b>4º</b> Permissions (optional)
In order to avoid a password prompt with every use:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo make permissions_fix<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

This added to our user to group "disk". You must now restart your session in order for this to take effect.
After that Wiithon will be executed in user space.

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->4. Run<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

The program will be located in Applications -> Office (in KDE and GNOME).

In console it can be launched with "sudo wiithon" (or "wiithon" if you can run without needing root)

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->5. Updated<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

<i><!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->If you have a review <20:<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></i>
If you see that "I have corrected this bug," or I have changed this, you can now easily update thanks to the repository. Therefore, it is essentialto keep the installation folder created in step 3.

In "wiithon" directory write:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo bzr pull<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

If "No revisions to pull" is reported then there are no updates available.
However, if you see a progress bar Wiithon is currently being updated to the latest version.

Once you have updated the source code <b>just repeat step 3 to "Install".</b>

<i><!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->If you have a review >=20:<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></i>

In "wiithon" directory write:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo make actualizar<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->6. Translate Wiithon<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

In "po/" there are 16 languages with each name in format locale.

There are still many languages without translation. It is very easy to translate using editors like "poEdit" GTK or Lokalized "Qt.

For example pt_BR.po translate.

To test the translation of the example you must run the following command:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->sudo make run LANGUAGE=pt_BR<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Finally, you must send xx_XX.po to me for it to be integrated into the project. I will add your name to the credits as a translator.

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->7. Acknowledgments<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

I appreciate the feedback received in the previous version. Thanks to Sergio, LK2 and users!

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->8. Team wiithon<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

While in the last version I was the only person responsible for the development, following version 0.98, LK2 offered me his help in creating this GUI. Therefore, the Team is as follows:

i get the following error if i start wiithon? what i am done wrong? plz help!!

TypeError: Required argument 'pos' (pos 2) not found

after disabling the line it seems to work. i am no coder so i dont know whats wrong. plz help me.

 

Ask something that nobody has yet, however I am investigating.

Not if you ask, because the source code of wiithon (core.py), there are functions in attempts to resize partitions wbfs. But even without success.

In a Spanish forum, Hermes gave to understand that it is not possible to resize partitions WBFS. But I can not believe it.

 

Wiithon have copy direct WBFS to WBFS from GUI
Wiithon have copy INdirect DVD to WBFS from CLI

If wiithon you can install from DVD. But only for CLI. This part will improve a lot the next version but now looks like this:

wiithon -c install

Asks the dvd wii. And automatically detect the device, dump it to iso, and add it to the wbfs keeping the ISO.

 

What version of ubuntu are you?
Think that need Ubuntu 8.10+, because ubuntu 8.04 have libgtk 2.12 and wiithon need gtk 2.14+

 

Works great for me in Jaunty...

Very nice app

Tx a lot...
