To open script that's in executable path in geany:

I hope that everyone using Puppy has figured out that you don't want to download ISO images, etc. into the virtual file system in RAM, when it is easy to download them to a separate directory on the device mounted as /mnt/home. (I use /mnt/home/downloads.)

Note: when you are running from CD without using a pup-save file there will not be a home partition. Reboot and save to a file, and the partition used will be mounted as /mnt/home.

When you get tired of clicking on filesystem, then /mnt, then home, then downloads, to use downloaded files, you can put a symbolic link which will take you directly to /mnt/home in your /root directory like this:

Cleaner Leaner Puppy? - yep it is possible . . . and simple

go to
Menu / System / Bootmanager configure bootup
(that is the right click on desktop or bottom left click)

then . . . Manage System Services
Use Help to sort out what to do

My config:
I never print (turned off CUPS Deamon)
SLmodems - no thank you
syslogger - m m m . . . may use in bug reporting (decided it could go)
Firewall - kept that even though router has one
Hardware hotplug - yep need that for USB

I am using 4.3.2 Experimental (Woof build) but this should be in Puppy 4.3.1 - maybe earlier and puplets too

Playing flash videos full screen with no stutter/crashes

Flash is a buggy, bloated PITA. There is a trick however...

Many flashplayers on movie streaming sites use the /tmp directory to "buffer" their video streams. The VLC player can play these directly. First you need the VLC player

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31890

Simply go to the streaming website and start the stream playing, then immediately hit the pause button, and minimize your browser. Next open ROX and navigate down the directory tree using the up arrow in the top left of the window. Go into the /tmp directory and you will notice some video files with wierd alphanumeric names. Clicking on them will open them in VLC, from which you can "seek" through the video and play them in full screen.

Things should be much improved when sites start using the new html5 video standard in firefox 3.6.

have been opening saved files for reading later one-by-one. now i find i can select a multiple of them and drag it to opera and they all will open in separate tabs.

Use Seamonkey Composer to create an HTML document that is basically a list of bookmarks. Call it SpeedDial or something similar, then set it as you Seamonkey home page. Switching to it gives you a page that works like Opera Speed dials. Set Seamonkey to load it on startup, and you are done..........

[disciple]

I don't know about Seamonkey, but in Firefox (at least old versions) the bookmarks are stored in an html file, so you could simply use your bookmarks as your homepage.

I was trying to find some good php bookmarks manager to use with hiawatha and php or put on my site but can't find a good one.

Oh, btw, you can make bookmarks page in pplog

[big_bass]

here's something I wrote to save the seamonkey bookmarks and strip off the "extra"code to leave just the active link
so it is very easy to manage the new index for a number of uses

if you look at the original seamonkey index it's clean to view
but it saves extra code not needed if you plan to share bookmarks
or post download links

its just a one click auto build the index and display it script
two files are auto generated without editing your original bookmarks
and auto opens for viewing

a clean url list
/root/bookmarks_stripped.txt


a clean working index for any browser
/root/new_index_list

I only just spotted this thread, I should have posted my simple trick here, maybe a mod could move it here and delete this post, anyway here is my trick........http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=52415

I recently installed Foxitreader and found that it couldn't find the help file when run from the menu, but if it was run directly from "/usr/bin " it functioned correctly, I found that if I made a link to " /usr/bin/fum.fhd " and placed it in" /root " it worked normally from the menu list.

hope that's helpful
