(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Although it takes a bit of exploration, there is a ‘Help’ button in Pref->About->Help, and you will find a ‘Supported Apps’ button in Pref->About->Apps.

I see now that you do have a help for this program, but you are correct in that it is not easy to find.

The computer program norm has evolved to be a common expected setup of having a help button in a prominent location, usually on the main program window.

You usually see the following under help:
Help Contents
Web site info
Update
About

Just something to think about. This program has become a must have for any version of Puppy Linux I use.
Thanks!

Version 1.4. See main post.
-Help resources are now quickly accessible on each page of the main GUI (blue help button in top right corner).
-Added improved and consistent display of GUI buttons at all screen resolution.
-Added direct link of MyApps to the program selection option in Preferences.
-Added more applications to the support database in Preferences.

Version 1.5. See main post.
-Added detection of Firefox, Seamonkey and Opera when installed to /mnt/home.
-Added more programs to the support database.
-Added ‘Desktop Recorder’ and ‘Media Converter’ categories to the Media tab.

Version 1.5.1. See main post.
-Added the -a option for grep of configuration files (to assure consistent evaluation of rc files).
-Added more programs to the support database.

PupApps does not recognize the location of Libreoffice in LH 64-512 because it is in a rather unusual location. The program executables are located in /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/* instead of the normal /opt location.

Otherwise, it works fine in LH 64-512.

Jim

Hi radky, thanks for the updates... This is not a bug, or major problem, but I was wondering if your pinstall script can give the option to create the hotkey shortcuts? Also, just another suggestion, for what it is worth, but I think it might be nice, not to replace the non-empty files in /usr/local/PupApps/defaultapps.. This will allow users to retain their settings through updates..

(Obviously the same could go for PupControl)

BTW, I mention the hotkey (keybindings) thing as (I think) your pinstall is not compatible with tecnhos new JWM-tools thing, which does not use the normal JWM xdg files and templates, it uses /root/.jwm/jwm-extra.. (As I say, this is a minor thing I guess, as most puppies dont use technos JWM-tools, but Akita does)

Thanks sc0ttman, I'll keep your recommendations in mind for future releases.

Version 1.5.6. See main post.
-Added special Sans-12 font for the PupApps GUI, and removed on-the-fly changes to the user-font parameter of /root/.gtkrc-2.0. (thanks TazOC)

-Creation of the Ctrl+Shift+A hotkey has been removed from the pinstall script, but the option is available in Preferences. (thanks sc0ttman)

Thanks again.

Thanks, your applications are great and just keep improving.

Thank you Jim.
