hey techno, now i am on quirky.

application icon not work.
refresh not work, so if i made some folder, wont come out
trash can not work too

[technosaurus]

fixed desktop entry to work with jwm

I'm not sure what creates trash:/// computer:/// network:/// and menu://applications - maybe they require gvfs (gnome virtual file system)?

this version was forked as spacefm

[technosaurus]

Other than the gtkversion patch, I also modified gtk's pkgconfig file to say that it was v2.24.0 ... Its a hack but it worked and spacefm appears to be a drastic improvement over its base with much more than most other fms and fairly light on resources.

There is a setting (somewhere?) to turn that off... It is intended to indicate that you are running as root.

I haven't figured that one out yet ... also the drive mounting capability uses udisks which I currently know zero about

Hey, that Spacefm isn't too shabby.

It isn't XFE or Konqueror, but it's better than the PCManfms and EMELfms and other garbage.

And it actually retains a 2-pane layout.

I could maybe even use it without tearing my hair out, if I was forced to.

(that's a glowing review, BTW).

Hello !

I tried to compile the latest version of PCManFM, version 0.9.10 !
It is compiled with the Puppy Racy 4.2.2.7 !
If you want, you can get packages here on the French forum : http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76280&sid=227c18fb4c2e9d4470a071a9769721fc
I have already compiled it with gvfs, to get "Computer, Applications, and Trash", but I lost packages
Do you know how to get internal hard drives in the "Computer" directory please ? I learned that we need Udisks, but I have some issues with the compilation... If I remember correctly, the problem was Udev version.
Puppy Udev's version is too old ( v167 ), and we need a version >= 170, it seems.

Cordially

I have 4.2.1 running on one of my computers and decided to look for an alternative file manager. I have PCManFM running on Debian on another computer and found threads here about this and another pet.

Unfortunately, when I installed the spacefm pet, clicking on the menu item for spacefm doesn't do anything and running from the console gives me an symbol lookup error -

undefined symbol: g_malloc0_n.

When I first installed the program, it gave an error about lacking glibc_2.7. This vanished after I installed a glibc_2.10 pet that another thread referred people to (that pet is located on sourceforge).

Is 4.2.1 not equipped to run this pet or program? Do I have to install glib > 2.22.0 and gtk > 2.18.0?

I have installed the gtkversion patch and modified the gtk version to 2.24.0 in the pkgconfig file, without change.

I also changed the spacefm.desktop file by eliminating the %F and also changed them from terminal=false to terminal=true.

I haven't installed the PCMANFM pet itself - was that supposed to be installed before the spaceFM pet??
