I compiled this against a static libgamin (with similar *FLAGS) to get the size down. It will give you a warning message that it is looking for a gnome icon theme, because it tries to use pre-installed images to save size much like many other P* programs Smile

Hi technosaurus,

I really like this version with the extra features.

Here's some feedback I have so far...

First of all, I got rid of that pesky gnome icon theme warning message.

1) Opening bookmarks in a new tab opens them in /
opening them in the current tab works ok.
Also right-clicking on a directory and selecting to open in a new tab opens them in /
UPDATE 1: Clicking the "Back" button afterwards then selects the correct directory for both the above scenarios.
UPDATE 2: If I have the side pane in directory tree mode I have the above scenarios. If I have the side pane in location mode the correct directories are selected.
Also the correct directories are opened with the side pane closed.

2) Opening a directory on another drive or partition kills/closes pcmanfm.
UPDATE: This doesn't seem to happen with the side pane closed.

So both 1) and 2) seem to have the problems only when directory tree mode is selected.

Other than that, it seems to be perfect, so I can live with it as it is.

Regards, Doug

How did you get rid of the message?

What are these programs for?

PCManFM is a filemanager named after PCMan
gamin is a small daemon for refreshing the changes made on the filesystem (if I recall) - perhaps it wasn't running when dougeeebear made changes to the files on separate drives???

you just have to run it once (I don't ever bother though)... I guess you could put it in /root/.xinitrc if you want it to always run

It doesn't help. Even clicking the refresh button doesn't do a thing.

I installed all three pet file posted here, and made the icon change. When I run pcmanfm through the terminal, I get:

Segmentation fault

Any ideas what I did wrong???

I'm running Puppy 4.11 on a Dell inspiron 1501 with the default kernel 2.6.25.16

I opened /root/.gtkrc-2.0 as text and added to the last line the following text to removed the theme popup warning message
gtk-icon-theme-name="ROX"

also there is an error in the .desktop file, that stops it from running via the menu

Line #10
Exec=pcmanfm %F
should be
Exec=pcmanfm
delete the %F save it, fixmenus then restart x-server and it should work.

Some bug still in 0.5.2.
If you cp a folder contain some symbol links in it, those symbol link will lost.

Small bug in the .desktop file. Icon=pcmanfm SHOULD read icon=pcmanfm.png or icon wont display in menu.

Hi, I was redirected here from another thread. I'd like to change to pcmanfm, but as a newbie, I dont really understand how to do it. Are there any step by step instructions how to change? Shall I paste all that code (in the first post) in a terminal and then install the 3 .pets?
