No, I tried that and found that it was very quirky.
Files just wouldn't tar correctly. I don't know
why that is. I'm not a programmer.

Frankly, just memorizing the command 'dir2pet' isn't too hard

I mentioned this to Billtoo on another thread.

When you make a pet package that has several applications
inside, it will therefore have several corresponding desktop
files inside.

To make a pet package in this situation is easy if you
know this trick.

Here it is....
Remove all but one desktop file from your folder and proceed
with the regular 'dir2pet' routine.

Then near end of routine, return the desktop files
that you have removed back to their original place.

Then finish the tarring. .... and a final pet is created
that can have several apps inside.


That's how I have been making this Right click pet in recent months.
Apparently not many people know this method.

3) compatibility to either Nicoedit or leafpad as texteditor

4) bz2 file format is now handled nicely

5) upgrade to zathura_gui 1.9 which can deal with
whitespace in file names

6) Scottman's script txz2pet is now included and txz files

7) backup_pupsave is now included. This allows your
pupsave file to be backed up each night automatically.

version 5.2.7 - a small upgrade

I tried out newest Wary and decided some
changes are needed to my pet package,
especially how Nicoedit and leafpad are handled.

Also a .patch file now has a right click option

Hi don570,
Regarding right click .pet creation -
Pemasu has made a .pet for such a function here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=572936#572936

[don570]

Thanks. How could I have missed that post??

I'll add it in if it works in Wary and Lucid.

right click option package - new version 5.2.8

I found Stu's pet useful so I put it in.

It makes a pet package very simply and quickly.

I had better warn inexperienced users that rightclick options
sometimes launch powerful processes that take
over your computer, so be careful which folders you
use this on.

/mnt/home directory is not recommended one for dir2pet right click.

new version 529 of Right click

I put in xdialog boxes so users can cancel mp3 conversions
or folder to pet package conversions. This is safer.

Hi don570,

I was wondering if it was at all possible for you to make a right click option that copied a image file to /root naming it .rox_background
a system link will also work if " ln -s -f " is used to force it to over write an existing link.

this would be so that a image can be used as a background for Roxfiler, the only other thing to do is add a .gtkrc.mine file to /root with this content

[DaveS]

And maybe right click on a directory option 'open with Rox'? Opens Dir in new Rox window...

@Dave S, Geoffrey:

Something like this? It should open the selected directory in a new ROX-Filer window.

[stu90]

middle click on directory you want to open in a new windows

or right click script:
