Hey Revolverve
PackIt is a GUI for archiving/compressing random stuff, so creating an executable AppImages is kinda out of its scope, just like creating pet, deb, rpm, flatpack, snap, etc. packages.
The thing is that AppImage is not "just" an executable SFS, it's an SFS (used to be an ISO, before that) with prepended i686/x86_64 binary that handles mounting and executing the payload.
Also, the input content must meet specific criteria (.desktop file, AppRun launcher, etc.) - you can't just create an AppImage from anything you want.
Well, technically you could, but it would be just an SFS with useless binary attached to it. 
Have a great one, too &
Greetings!

lz4 option |
|
Hi SFR, just wondering with V1.9, is there an easy way to make a LZ4.sfs?
And there is a new block size option, what would be optimal, 4k?
I wanted to experiment with a few sqooshing up formats, only ever used GZIP and XZ so far.

Yes, LZ4 should be available on the drop-down list below the mksquashfs radio button.
But it shows only if squashfs-tools in your distro support LZ4.

Depends on what is your priority.
If you prefer performance over compression ratio, go low and if the opposite, go high.

Hi SFR, not sure if I asked this before, but I am getting an error on Packiting an SFS with no compression option. Says it was not successful almost immediately.
There's no relevant information in view log. Got LZ4 working thanks.

On a quick test with a smallish Adrv, No Compression works A OK.
Thanks SFR!

I'm writing my own compression and encryption app
and I've decided to put in help button to tell users that foreign characters
can be used in password.
| Code: | <button>
<variable>VARIABLE</variable>
<action>Xdialog --title "'$(gettext 'Warning')'" --rc-file /root/.config/pclock/orangebox.rc --wrap --screen-center --left --no-buttons --msgbox "'$(gettext 'Foreign characters are allowed in a password but no spaces.')'" 0 0 100 & </action>
<input file stock="gtk-help"></input>
</button>

I noticed that packit allows the last character of a password to be blank.
Uextract then requires the blank to be added to password to succeed.

PackIt is great! Feodor reminded me about it, suggesting it, and UExtract, would be good in EasyOS and EasyPup. Yes, they would!
I took the liberty os making some changes to the 'pinstall.sh' script:

...I thought is is better if leave out files that are already archives.
...and commented-out a couple of lines, to avoid duplicate "PackIt" entries in the right-click "Open With..." menu.
Also, the search for mime folders will ignore any without "_" in it. For example, ".text", as again, this causes duplicate entries in the menu.
For the 'pet.specs' file, I made one change, "Utility;package", as the "X-Utility-package" is wrong for Easy -- don't know if that is now acceptable to woofCE.

Where can I download the rar compression module (not unrar, I have that)?

Alright!
| BarryK wrote: | | ...I thought is is better if leave out files that are already archives. |
Generally yes (not in all cases, though), but it was more straightforward to add it to all available MIME-Types.
| BarryK wrote: | | ...and commented-out a couple of lines, to avoid duplicate "PackIt" entries in the right-click "Open With..." menu. |
| Code: | | #BK[ ! -d "${RC_PATH}/.inode_unknown" ] && mkdir "${RC_PATH}/.inode_unknown" |
I don't quite remember what was this special case for...
| Code: | | #BK[ ! -d "${RC_PATH}/.group" ] && mkdir "${RC_PATH}/.group" |
This enables PackIt menu option for multiple items of the same or (and that's important) different MIME-Types.
I think '.group' wasn't implemented in the original ROX, but is supported by some of its forks (jun7's for sure).
There's also '.all', that adds menu item for all MIME-Types, which would be the best option for PackIt, but again it's not supported by the original ROX.
| BarryK wrote: | | Also, the search for mime folders will ignore any without "_" in it. For example, ".text", as again, this causes duplicate entries in the menu. |
Interesting, I don't have '.text' dir in Fatdog, but indeed adding it creates a duplicate.
However, just installed PackIt in easy-2.2.11 and clicking a text/plain file shows only one PackIt menu item, even if '.text' dir also contains PackIt symlink.
In fact, I didn't see a duplicate menu entry for PackIt in Easy at all...
In Fatdog I see the duplicates only if I select multiple items of the same MIME-Type and it's caused by '.group'.
EDIT: unless you mean the 'SendTo/OpenWith' case? Yeah, there are some duplicates, but IIRC fixing it would also disable PackIt in the root menu in some cases...
| BarryK wrote: | | For the 'pet.specs' file, I made one change, "Utility;package", as the "X-Utility-package" is wrong for Easy -- don't know if that is now acceptable to woofCE. |
Oh, that's because the 2nd .desktop file in AppDir has 'Categories=X-Utility-package;', should be just 'Utility'. And dir2pet picks up the wrong one.
Thanks!
EDIT: I reuploaded the .pet with corrected category.
