AVFS allows you to browse various compression formats as if they are a folder
set up to browse *.tar.gz *.tar.bz2 *.rar *.zip and capable of many more (and much faster than Xarchive)
At the moment it supports floppies, tar and gzip files, zip, bzip2, ar and rar files, ftp sessions, http, webdav, rsh/rcp, ssh/scp. Quite a few other handlers are implemented with the Midnight Commander's external FS.

Run AVFS:
To configure ROX-Filer to open directories using AVFS, set the run action (Set Run Action...) for zip files (and other archive types) to:

Hi I updated your mimes on roxfiler
most were already done just about 10 or so that weren't
But you forgot one things. You need to edit the sources to remove the annoying "Running as user"root""
I usually delete that section from the sources. Basically just reuse the mime after the next build if you like.

rxvt not support UTF-8, and (I'm not be sure) multi-tab, xterm for my is better choice.
For my Objective-Caml developpements on Puppy i use VTE, no multitab either, but still better than rxvt. Also, libvte supports UTF-8 and because libvte implements a GTK widget, any Gtk application can embed a vte widget.
Sakura is a multitabbed libvte-based terminal emulator.

My recommendations for puppy 4.4:
* Sakura Terminal
* GNU Nano
Other ideas:
* aisleriot solataire or something similar
* openbox/tint2 (not a fan of jwm)
Time for phase 2 yet?

Are you well again Technosaurus? Have more time?
Any news?
Any hope?
Any Alpha release?

Your effort is impressive. I look forward to using it.
Here are two comments:
1. When moving about menu items the little text window that opens very often covers other menu lines requiring deft maneuvering to defeat. I think you should drop those little text windows. We all know what the programs do anyway.
2. Opera is a great choice. Opera 10 would be way better than 9..
These are not negatives. I only wish I had the ability to do what you are doing.

I've made sakura pets a few times
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=29788
but Sakura is not 100% compatible with puppy specific applications, like petget and a few others, certain puppy related functions don't work with sakura so rxvt would have to stay default, I did try talking with developer in the past but he's a bit lazy on updating it.

Any updates on status of puppy 4.4 CE?
Posted: Sat 09 Jan 2010, 23:03
by technosaurus
I have been trying to go through the bug reports and knock out as many as I can... unfortunately they are hard to track in a single thread as here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47563
its easier to track them individually as I set up here:
http://code.google.com/p/puppy-development/issues/list
I have transferred quite a few and plucked the low-hanging fruit.
Any help knocking these out will speed things along.

It really is a long time between project start and first release, by Puppy standards anyway!
Do you think it would be useful to produce an alpha BEFORE all the known bugs are squashed so that we can see how things are going and provide an input? An alpha is not expected to be bug free.
We might be waiting a long time if you expect to get the tricky bugs resolved before first alpha.
Any chance of committing to a first alpha release date, whatever the bug status, so we can all get excited!
Just a thought.

Techno
I'd like to pitch in at this point, before anything else happens
Please guys, remember the bad feeling left by what happened with WhoDo, who thankfully returned, but I would say, that,
Each person who takes on the task of a Puppy release for the community, HAS THEIR OWN STYLE/SPEED/WAY OF DOING THINGS
& long may it remain so!
Techno, please don't get flustered or upset by all or any 'demands' made on you...there is no
right way, or Puppy way, [other than as done by BK].....only
your way
You have MY full support, immaterial of others 'preferences to have you do different'
Good Luck & stay on your
own track!
....but don't be afraid to delegate things as you can....

hi techno maybe if your doing everything behind closed doors, how about maybe just posting log list of bugs you've solved/have left, or updates/removals etc. Feel free to take your time and don't feel any pressure about release dates, I wouldn't commit to any, Its stressful enough fixing things without bringing to the table deadlines.

More questions and suggestions

Questions:
Does the double click system in puppy is implemented?
Does the PPM can upgrade and downgrade installed packages?
Suggestions: (If it is possible)
Include the SFS installer for ease of installation in SFS modules on full installed puppy (for more details about the SFS installer check this topic
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=44765). And also the Pcompile for creating PET packages form source code easily due to GUI frontend (for more details about Pcompile check out this topic
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 99&t=41758).

you can do that on any puppy version
right click on any open rox-filer window
click Options in the menu it displays
under "filer options" untick "Use Single-click Navigation"
like the image below

.
every time you install a package the package manager makes a log of the parts located in /root/.packages, If techno was to do as you mentioned, he would have to include hundreds of these files, it would take a lot of time and wasted space, PetBeGone might be a way to go for that, but the 0pkgs_db-4.4.pet would have to made. 0pkgs_db-4.21.pet was 350kb
hmmm if it was made in advanced before the release, PetBeGone could be included with a slight adjustment that enables a check, if the db-4.4 was installed then great it operates and if it doesn't located, it could offer to download it from the ibiblio repo and install it. that would save 350kb+

Okay, I see that rox-filer has double-click options. It is better to enable it by default, great for using touchpads on laptops. If upgrading or downgrading of packages in PPM is tend to be impossible, what if apply these procedure in PPM during upgrading:
If the PPM detects that there is a previously installed packages (old versioned package). the installed files will put back to pet packages (or any types of packages) and deleted old installed files. Then the new one will be installed (just like ejecting an old disc, and insert a new one). What you think?

it just masks (whites out) the READ ONLY files using the union on frugal or overwrites them if a full install - only the new files are used and any extras are left in place (trust me this is better sometimes puppy has helper scripts that supplement a package - try running gparted for an example) to remove a package entirely just install it first and then uninstall (petbgone does not work in woof based systems yet)
