I've made a new version of Right click pet package.
I checked it on Lucid puppy 525

don570, What I would like to see in right clicks is the ability to archive.

For example:

When browsing in ROX it would be good to highlight a few files then right click to zip etc. You type in the zip name and you're done. The location of the zip file could be predetermined or created in the default directory.

Currently when one drags files to the zip icon on the desktop it takes too many steps to make an archive. It really isn't very intuitive.

It's not too bad if only one file is being archived but if it's more than one they have to be selected individually.

Thanks

don570, this little scripts solves the problem.

#!/bin/sh
zip /tmp/ZipPack "$@"
rox /tmp

Place the script in /usr/local/bin then drag it onto the desktop.

Any file you drag and drop on the desktop zippack icon will create a zip file called ZipPack in /tmp

Works a treat, simple but effective.

Cheers
