Okay, changes added, .pet made:
edit_sfs-1.1.pet

Also added a menu icon and a symlink to the AppRun script at /usr/bin/edit-sfs.

I used edit_sfs-1.1.pet on puppy 4.11 and it worked.
I would like to suggest that you add to it a screen that displayes the activity and error messages while assembling the final sfs.
I tried it a few times and always gave me an error. Then i launced it from a xterm and could see that at 39% it stopped due to no space to build the new sfs.
I do not know why it was happening since i had 512mb of memory and 500mb of swapfile.
Finally i mounted a 1 gb partition and replaced in the script the path from /tmp/.....
to /mnt/sda1/.... and it worked right.

Next time I work on it, I'll see what I can do.

@pizzasgood:
I just used Edit-sfs on an frugal installation of NOP 4.13. However it didn't work right away since /tmp was considered to be 0 kb (aka "no space left on device"). A simple solution was to edit the tool by replacing "/tmp" with "$HOME/tmp" and creating a tmp-folder in /root. After the modifications, the tool worked properly (and it's a great toy imho. I'll probably write a GUI for the sfs tools using tcl/tk in the foreseeable future. SFS is brilliant. ^^).

Just my 2 cents. ;-)

Pizzasgood,

I hope you don't mind that I modified your script and made a Rox right-click "open with" choice with it.

The Edit-SFSRox.pet is here-

I also added a "processing sfs file" message to keep everyone from leaving town. :D :D

Thanks for all your great work.
