Tip for installing in Slacko....

If you are installing Right-click in Slacko I recommend that
you first install gtkhash, but it must be this updated version-->

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=586008#586008

Then install Right-click-5.4.pet

You must be careful though, because previous versions
of gtkhash might cause damage to your installation of Slacko!!!!!

new version 5.6

minor fix

1) A message in Bacon recorder was changed

2) Removed wrong instructions in ffconvert.

They were dumb instructions I've studied ffconvert and
I now understand how to use it now.

I haven't been around lately so I don't know if someone has suggested this yet. How about adding compression options? You know, Compress file to 'formatx', Compress folder to 'formatx', Uncompress here, Uncompress in 'foldernamedafterfile'. I think .tar.gz and .zip should be enough to compress to, and include more formats to uncompress. What d'you think?

new version 5.8...

Upgraded to conversion_audio-1.5.

This app gives a menu option for
audio files to 'Convert to mp3' or
'Convert to wav'.

I give a rough estimate of time needed to convert.
(It should be accurate if you have a fast machine) and a window will
show the conversion process.

hi don570

hows about, right click on a binary to run ldd on it in a terminal

[don570]

I looked at Fluppy to see how attachments to email
are handled. Jemimah wrote a simple script to add
the attachments but it's for the 'claws' email program
which supports launching with a file to be attached to
your message. Not many people use the claws email program
so I won't put it in.

About compressing files and folders ------>
Are people forgetting that the user is supposed to
drag an icon to the 'Zip' icon on desktop and most puppies will
give user the question 'to add to existing archive or
create a new one'.

ldd for binary application --> a good project for a computer
science student. I have another project that I'm
currently working on.

new version 5.9

improvements:

1) additional preset for ffconvert 'WMA2WAV'
to help inexperienced users convert wma audio files to wav

2) 3 additional right click options added for audio.
The most important being converting wma and flac audio to wav

I'm glad to see someone is working

I'm working on a package that will rename files in a folder.

For instance does anybody know where there's a script to rename
files in a given folder according to modification date

fileX fileY fileZ to fileX000 fileY001 fileZ003

(the sorting depends on modification date of the file
rather than alphabetical)

I have been researching examples of file renaming on the internet
to see what is possible, but didn't find this particular solution.

I think I'll do 'ls -t' to generate a file with the names in it.

then do 'cat -n' to put numbers on the line.

then make a loop to go through the file line by line.
