- how to have my very own wallpapers dragged

Me like

Hey lobster my over medicated crustacean friend here's something even easier I made a tiny script that is linked to JPG,GIF,PNG images so if you right click on any of the three types you'll have a menu item at the top of the list the copies the image directly into the backgrounds folder.
how easy is that

Cool ttuuxxx. That's going right in.

Could it be anything to do with your browser cache set low?

It could - I will x4 it from 50MB to 200MB and see if that makes a difference.

Please remember of course that you have to have enough free pupsave memory for that size of cache. I would want double the cache size just to be sure. Remember also that we changed the Firefox default from 200MB cache (I think) down to 20.

I personally do not think you are running out of cache--FF should certainly be smart enough to handle whatever size you give it. But on the other hand, I know you have been troubled by this repeatedly, so I am interested in the result of your experiment. Have you tried linking /root/.mozilla to a folder in /mnt/home?

And does this happen with other browsers--even if you prefer FF that might be worth a try, Iron 6 or 7 or Opera perhaps.

Well, If you like that. What about this;

There's definitely difficulties if you just add the pet. I wouldn't recommend it. I never figured out a good way to make them coexist.

I got the definitive word from jemimah about pwireless2. We will need to use a creative solution as 01micko suggested.

I would say its 59.87 KB vs 597 Bytes or around 100 times the size. Is it 100 times better?

Oh, they would need, jwm theme, gtk theme, background, and icon set. Or maybe someone could make a nice gui that could change all of those things at the same time so people could more easily do mix and match and trial and error. Well, I guess people could do it now by starting 4 programs Ah, with some presets for built in themes. Dream on. Maybe next time. Has zigbert already done this?

I think it was Trio who made 'Desktop Display Profile Manager' (firs picture in album) it allows you to create global jwm-gtk-icon-wallpaper profiles / themes.
Edit. here is link to Trio's Desktop Display Profile Manager.

I added the global theme selector from it to a quick app/launcher GUI (rest of pictures in album) i have in JWM tray.

what ever you said, What I did was from scratch.
Man from a simple GUI I get tons of extra inputs that are really redundant.

Fine you work it out,, I'm going back to 2.14X

This is not a negative comment about your add-on it is something to add to Rox. It adds all kinds of programs to the right click menu in Rox. It would have to be bigger to do this.
Really look at what it can do. Maybe you could tweak and make smaller?

anyways here's a 2 pane file manager , I didn't test it, but its the latest release

On a somewhat-related note, does Luci-240 include sensible "open with" defaults for file formats?

You can make the 'open with' list as long as you want.
Just customize.
And this is in all puppy's

You can do a ton of other stuff too. I have a little script that adds a 'move to player' option that appears when an mp3 file is present. Click on it and it transfers the mp3 to my walkman.

as it goes guys and gals I spent a lot of time on Lucid Puppy 5.2 and well I have other projects on the go, So I must say thanks for using the packages and the best for this release, sure I think its a bit large and has a couple of GTK issues, but its stable as hell, I haven't shut my pc off in 11 days, 7 hours.
Take care

Ciao baby

Installing luci-241 I noticed that the program startmount
does not install the disks (partitions). The programs are properly instead
installed at startup.

In all honesty and to be truthfully with you, as my reply was to playdayz i literally have no clue what you are talking about, what you have made from scratch, or what redundant inputs you have received.
thanks.

I know. And it's easy. But shouldn't it come with a proper set of defaults for the apps it comes with?

Just a thought.

well the 200MB made no difference
so I will go back to either Seamonkey or the latest FF beta
which I do not remember as having any probs with
I do have a habit of having many tabs open
(nine at the moment) but this has not been an issue previously

Great to hear the right click add to backgrounds is being adopted
