I added the line to .gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-icon-theme-name="ROX"

ok use this icon theme,
http://www.silverdollarsolutions.com/Pu ... 1-icon.pet

for suport file changes on pcmanfm and refresh button, should be have gamin instaled and running, try this one :
http://www.silverdollarsolutions.com/Pu ... 9-i486.pet
that pet has file on /root/Startup so gamin will be running when puppy start.

and thks to techno, i mirored this pet on my ftp and will be use as main file manager on my puppy, but i will make a mime first.

owh, there is a trouble on gamin. will be die in a few minute. dont know why

When I run PCmanFM from terminal, the following appears:

(pcmanfm:3797): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

What does that mean?

gamin corectedon startup. if gamin_server die, it will be call again.

THIS ONE REQUIRES GLIB > 2.22 and GTK+ > 2.18 (compiled against 2.22.5 and 2.18.9)

Note that this has only the minimum icons to run (from Tango) and nothing is preconfigured (run from command line to see what icon names are missing - most can be reclaimed from rox or from Tango/hicolor icon themes) - it's as plain vanilla as it can get and still run so it can be customized
(the icons are in the root of the pet but petget puts them where they need to go... /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons)


menu-cache, libfm and pcmanfm were all compiled with: reposted in later post with minor fixes for jwm menu entries

hi techno, why pcmanfm cant copy symlink ?

The last version I posted can copy and paste symlinks (via right click menu) - I don't really use the classic version anymore.

hey again

sory i dont recognice pcmanfm now be pcmanfm2, so when i was install the last, it not replace the old one.

trying to run from commandline and found error :
pcmanfm2: symbol lookup error: pcmanfm2: undefined symbol: g_icon_to_string

It sounds like you did not install glib > 2.22.0 and gtk > 2.18.0

These are NOT included in any version of Puppy except maybe Barry's unofficial 4.3.2

I suppose the new rewrite of pcmanfm should be distributed as pcmanfm2 in the package name.

(by the way the configure script has not been updated to reflect that 2.18 is required, but the latest release has gtk_widget_get_state or something like that, which is not in versions less than 2.18)

look like i get trouble using the last one

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

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)?

my be you must insert a folder to it like this one :
trash:///root/trash and computer:///root menu://usr/share/appcilations

but i dont know.

and the old pcmanfm-0.5.2 when i am using on quirky can copied a symlink now

yes they do, i read it somewhere - that the trash feature (at least) was re-introduced and requires gvfs... I hope this works well, I like the look of it... since which version does it require gtk 2.18? I am trying to find the latest version that would compile nicely in pup4...

this version was forked as spacefm

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.

is it supposed to be red at the top? (menu backgrounds?)

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

aah yes, "show root user indicator" .. EDIT: oh nice, it automatically unpacks archives.. would it be possible to fix the missing icons for certain filetypes with symlinks?

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