Hi nic,

There, of course, is the Linux implementations of pzip, itself, which AFAIK run OOTB on any Puppy. Well, the portables do. The webpage's title indicates its now only 64-bit, but the texts suggests that there are 32-bit versions somehow. I only scanned that page, https://www.peazip.org/peazip-linux.html looking for the information pertinent to your needs which I think you'll find here under the Heading "pluggin". https://www.peazip.org/peazip-add-ons.html PeaUtils may be the plug in you're looking for.

FWIW, the portable version of 7-Zip works fine under WINE, too.....for anybody who particularly wants it.

7Zip 'portable'

Though I'd recommend UExtract to any 'Puppian', every time. It just 'works'.....and with every release, it just keeps getting better.

Yes, Uextract is good for normal extraction depending on your needs. I have a lot of ebooks, all in rar archives as per author. Now, as I extract one book to read (which Uextract can't do) I also want to delete it from that particular archive. WinRar updates the archive automatically when you delete something from the archive.

Hi all,

is it possible with UExtract to select multiple files and extract them in their folders ?

Thanks @SFR for your excellent tool.

Sure, just select them -> right-click -> Open With/Send To -> UExtract
In Fatdog (and other distros that use jun7's ROX fork) UExtract is already in top-level right-click menu, even for multiple selections.
Or from CLI:

Code: Select all

uextract foo.tgz bar.7z baz.xz ...

There should be no pot files in pet package. Momanager works without them.

Why not? They're provided as a convenience for translators.
MoManager has no monopoly on that, last time I checked.

momanager does search for pot files
(but I doubt it searches in uextract folder)
and it screws up the process of making a small change
of a translation so I was told by momanager developper to stop putting it in my packages.
I thought I was helping translators , but I wasn't.

All momanager needs is the po file and the script. The pot file is a middle step of a process.

Momanager is a layer above GNU gettext. It is an optional tool, which most puppy translators use, but it isn't required to get translations done. All one needs to produce translatable sources (this is the job of the application author), and translations (the translator's job) is the GNU gettext package. Of course, for many translators Momanager is more convenient because it hides away the use of the gettext conversion tools.
My understanding of the minimal workflow (this is documented in detail in the GNU gettext project documentation page) is:

author: program source --> gettext --> pot file
translator: pot file --> po file (then the first translation can be started)
translator: updated pot file --> updated po file (on each program update)
author: po files from translators --> mo files -- program release

If an author is entirely managing translations as part of the release process then there is no need to add pot or po files to the package. Only the mo files are required.

Conversely, if an author wants for the occasional untranslated language to give people "out there" the opportunity to create a translation, then the pot file is needed. Po files can be added if an author wants for people "out there" to be able to modify translations in a specific language.

I think (not sure because I don't use momanager) that internally momanager generates a pot file to enable further processing steps. But the generated pot file derives from momanager's generation criteria, which may not be sufficient to capture all translatable strings in the source code.

I have tested this on the only Pup I run when not running Stretch-Dog Tiny Puduan by S243a and it works fine with a stretch .deb.

Reading here I discovered another method of encryption
https://www.putorius.net/how-to-create- ... sword.html

Code: Select all

tar czvpf - file1.txt file2.pdf file3.jpg | gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo aes256 -o myarchive.tar.gz.gpg

_________________________________________

Using uextract I found that I couldn't extract the following...

tar a folder and 7za compression with a password - .tar.7z extension
I made it with Packit using fatdog64.

It didn't crash. It just stalled and did nothing.

Just FYI: when you right-click a .gpg file, UExtract doesn't show up (ROX recognizes it as generic application/octet-stream), but it's possible to decrypt it from CLI (uextract file.gpg).
Not every file with .gpg extension is encrypted, though, for example GnuPG's keyrings (pubring, secring) also use that extension.

Hmm, I guess I've never tried that combination with encryption before.
It doesn't really stall, it just waits for a password, but there's no prompt.
I'll fix it in next release.

Thanks &
