How to set PCManFM as system default

Once installed, to set PCManFM as system default you have to type in console .

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/local/bin/rox && ln -s /usr/bin/pcmanfm /usr/local/bin/rox

and then open the file .xinitrc

Type in console:

Code: Select all

geany /root/.xinitrc    

And change rox -p to rox-real -p

For example:

Code: Select all

if [ -f /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPan1 ];then
     rox-real -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin -r /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPan1
    else
     rox-real -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
    fi

Save changes. Now, when you do this the wallpaper changer won't work. So again in console:

Code: Select all

geany /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/set_bg


Look at lines 13 and 31, they're like this:

Code: Select all

rox -p

They should be like this:

Code: Select all

rox-real -p

Save again.

Also modify:

Code: Select all

geany /usr/sbin/set_bg

Save and restart X.

For the PCManFM drive mounter to work, you have to install pup-volume-monitor, available here:

Shouldn`t this be in the "How To" section.?

Strange that Puppy has no menu item to change the default Filer.

Guessing that anyone who might be looking for instructions for using this file handler in Puppy would look in this section of the forum, I'll leave it here. If there's already a thread for PCManFM, this would probably be better off there.

PCManFM 1.2.4 is the File manager in XenialDog. Sure people will search in this section first. I saw lot of topics elsewhere; but i ask my question here.
to transfer files, i used Copy and Past.
is there something to transfer easier (drag the file)
Ah ok, newer topic here, for Tahrpup (version 1.2.3) section File system.
