Maybe Puppizard 004 by Iguleder, devx required, but allows installing/updating from source and I think GTK+ 2.10.x

Wow! What a great tool!

Thanks for the link.

Are any of these versions of Claws-mail 3.7.9 likely to work as-is with Fluppy 013, please?

I'm using Firefox, and it just wrapped the URL line on my screen.

Yes, I frequently browse with Puppy 3.01 (SeaMonkey) on this
older hardware and long urls can show up as very wide screens.

Certain forums have the ability to put the long url into a separate
scalable window while retaining normal width for thread discussion,
but our forum here doesn't.

I'll try Quirky with Firefox to see if it handles it differently.

Yes, Firefox in Quirky wraps it, so apparently it can be a browser
thing...

Seamonkey 2.2 - Just Announced

The SeaMonkey project is proud to present SeaMonkey 2.2: The new major release of the all-in-one Internet suite is available for download now! Building on the same Mozilla platform as the newest Firefox release, it delivers the latest developments in web technologies such as HTML5, hardware acceleration and improved JavaScript speed.

SeaMonkey 2.2 is available in 21 languages, for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Most notably, this release features for the first time:

Added support for CSS animations.
Tuned HTTP idle connection logic for increased performance.
Improved canvas, JavaScript, memory, and networking performance.
Improved standards support for HTML5, XHR, MathML, SMIL, and canvas.
Improved spell checking for some locales.
WebGL content can no longer load cross-domain textures.
Background tabs have setTimeout and setInterval clamped to 1000ms to improve performance.
Fixed several stability issues.
Fixed several security issues.
Fixed several high visibility usability issues from SeaMonkey 2.1.

For a more complete list of major changes in SeaMonkey 2.2, see the What's New in SeaMonkey 2.2 section of the Release Notes, which also contain a list of known issues and answers to frequently asked questions.

Here is the solution that I found to link Claws & Midori:

/root/Choices/URI

Copy "mailto" and name the copy "imailto"

I don't know why this is not done by default.

Thanks for the test. I'll keep that in mind when I see it wrap...

I wonder why Seamonkey wouldn't wrap it?... Perhaps the lack of spaces prevents it from "finding" a place to line-break...

Probably because so many elegant, simple solutions like that, get buried in threads like this and the devs never see it....?

One of the key reasons for the idea for PLUG proposed by WhoDo

A central repository of hints, tips, and tricks would be extremely valuable - IF properly labeled for the distro and for any dependencies - no assuming that the reader knows what's on your machine.

The devs could then look there for patterns of valued features - and perhaps methods to meet them.

The Puppeee PetStore is nice - but the challenge is to keep it current. Also, core apps e.g. Claws and Midori have updates but there is not a section in the Puppeee Petstore where those updates are available - and they have been tweaked to not damage setting and archives. (I know that Jemimah is busy with life for a while - it's not a criticism - I just thought the Petstore was a good example of a nice idea that needs more support - and an expanded mission).

Thanks doc

Great ideas, now in PLUG, ...

Edited link due to deletions

....hoping once the dust settles a bit, more people will come forward and help make this happen, we are trying to centralise, if only so people know where to look - a database looks on the cards

The 4 corners of the earth is no longer useful

I just added a second E-mail to my Claws setup and although it looks OK and generates no errors it refuses to put any E-mails in the inbox.

The other account appears to be working fine.

I have created and sent E-mails addressed to the account and no other computers are removing those messages from the E-mail server.

I have also set the account to not remove them from the server and can get them using Seamonkey - so the problem is local to Claws.

Has anyone seen this problem?

I tried to load two accounts on a Net book and a laptop in Claws 3.7.8

One works fine but the other looks fine with no errors - but fails to acquire and place incoming mail in the Inbox.

Is it possible that this is a bug in 3.7.8 and I need to update to 3.7.9?

Has anyone done that update successfully, please?

edoc · #1896 Post by **edoc** » Tue 12 Jul 2011, 21:27

Well, I have done all I can and others on the Claws support list have tried as well - something is broken in my Claws install.

I really do not want to have to install Seamonkey ...

Rather than re-install an old version of Claws - actually I suppose I'd have to re-install Fluppy 013 in hopes that would resolve the problem - is there any chance someone can post a PET for 3.7.9, please?

3.7.9 has bug-fixes and tweaks I'd like to have anyhow.

Thanks!

Is there a list of addons for Fluppy beyond the pet and sfs files available at puppeee.com?

edoc · #1898 Post by **edoc** » Wed 13 Jul 2011, 15:24

I think that Jemimah's goal was that the Puppeee PetStore be the central repository for Fluppy/Puppeee-specific apps - the challenge is to get everyone to post things there.

I imagine there are many apps compiled and otherwise optimized for Fluppy/Puppeee that are scattered all over the place

An indexed hints, tips, and tricks area of the Puppeee PetStore would be nice as well.

Aitch posted the following link which is the beginning of a centralized pool of all Puppy apps -- if folks choose to cooperate:

Trick is having folks supply the information.

I can see Python 2.6.4 but not sure about the others.

These are required for BloGTK ...

* python (2.6.2 recommended. BloGTK is not Python 3 compatible.)
* python-gtk2
* python-gnome2
* python-gnome2-extras
* python-feedparser
* python-gdata
* python-webkit
