Here's the latest epdfview/poppler, I compiled it today, its 789kb compressed, so you guys figure it out if it should be in or out? When you install it just refresh menus, also I made it default pdf image viewer in the package. So just click a pdf and it should open.

synth's SeaMonkey 2.0 (Jul 2, 2009) + Flash 10 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43950 works really well in 214X .

MHHP, thanks for explaining 'select text' button & yes the mouse scroll wheel only works when the mouse arrow is placed over a scroll bar as in other apps. Works in pup 4 so a bit more work for ttuuxxx perhaps. I suppose the scroll button simply means you can click & drag the page around the screen.

HI Guys

So I haven't had one response if epdfview should be in or out? LOL lots of talk about it, Just remember it adds 789kb of weight to the iso, probably closer to 600kb, also the test select works fine if your viewing actual text, not sure what it does with images like a scanned book, the text is could actually be a image and not actual text characters.
To use the text selection feature it actually disables the mouse scrolling with the middle button but the regular mouse scroll still works on the scrollbars. to use the text select just select the following
in the menu select edit/select text
then hold your left mouse button down and drag it up on some actual text you want copied, that should highlite it black, then once your finished release the mouse button and open abiword and select a line and now press the middle mouse scroll button and it should paste.

Anyways Guys is it in or is it out. I'm happy either way on this issue, I added the scrollbars on the right side also the coloured scrollbars, I also figured that out in 4.2 series and a few other tricks I forget now,lol

Anything else should be added or removed guys ?

Woohooooo we have 1 vote for a software inclusion, can we have a second? going once,, going twice,,, Its includedddddd, lol

Ok on a more serious note, I've found a replacement for inkscapelite, the program is called sodipod, its a svg editor like inkscapelite with more options, quicker opening svg files, more tools and its 1kb larger than the inkscapelite package in the 4 series repo.
any testers??

updated above last 2 software releases with language files, epdfview, sodipod

I'll go with the flow or is that a trickle, for epdfview as for inkscapelite v sodipodi whichever you thinks best.

I just compiled alsa but the server uploaded fine but when I try to check the site, the server isn't responding, anyways when it works itself out, the link should then work
http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/2.14series/alsa/

ps I didn't compile the python alsa because we don't use python and the alsa-tools because it wanted another library we don't use.

AbiWord: Spellchecking, language-files .

In Puppy 2.16 up til 4.12, I regarded (perhaps a bit pre-judicial on my side ) AbiWord as just a replacement for MS-Wordpad, didn't really try it out until 4.2, in which AbiWord definitely disappointed me .

Now, in 214X, I've seen that AbiWord runs the MS-word-templates, required for writing manuscripts to be submitted to certain scientific journals, perfectly.

Therefore, the question arises, how, and where (and is it possible to), do I install language-pack en_GB (possibly also sv_SE, not as crucial, though, as it is my native tongue ).
