What do you think about Rox?
@marc, sorry if I misled you about m-a-c in Fatdog64-702. I've been running Fatdog64-710a2 (alpha 2) for months now, so that's where the *2* is coming from. Probably the patch is exclusively in 710 alphas.

That works in Precise 5.7.1, can move any of the columns except permissions, but permissions will move around by dropping a column heading next to it and "pushing" itbigpup wrote:I just found out you can put the list columns where you want them.
Try it.
Go to list view.
Left click and hold on a column heading.
Drag it to the location you want it.

Well, I don't code, but use ROX as navigation in puppy. Recent changes are bold, but there seems to be a limit, since sometimes the full path is not bold.
Double clicks kill mice and trackpads twice as fast, so single click is welcome.
It might be a puppy thing, but I wish my settings would stick upon remaster.
01micko put ROX/jwm905 in Slacko5.7. They just work. But I'm sure there are different apps for that.

Late to the party on this one.....but I will say this much.
Like many people whose comments I've read over the years, it took a wee while (and several queries on the Forum in the early days!) to get the hang of it. However, I now can't imagine using anything else.
OK, so it's 'different' to most 'standard' file-managers.....but that statement applies to pretty much the entire Puppy cosmos. The fact of the matter is, if I go into any other distro's file-manager nowadays, I have to consciously stop and carefully think what I'm doing. I simply don't find them at all 'intuitive'. Sorry, jlst...
The main reason I've stuck with my one 'alternative' Linux distro (Anti-X) is pretty simple. Because it offers ROX/JWM as one of the available desktop/FM combos. I'm thoroughly used to it, so I use it there, too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And to reply to one of the now-departed starhawk's observations:-
I also can't agree with step's comment about most people finding window auto-resizing annoying. I have mine set to a 'maximum' of 75%. Why shouldn'tthe window shrink to fit the number of items contained within it? Makes sense to me.....
Horses for courses, I guess. We're all different, as far as personal preferences go. That's why there's options!

And to reply to one of the now-departed starhawk's observations:-
Can't agree with that. Windoze had the 'single-click, hover to select' option as far back as Win98. From the early days of XP (around 2002-3) I'd already begun using it.....I absolutely loathed the Windoze 'double-click', and was mighty glad to see the back of it. I was extremely happy to see that it was generally implemented in most Linux distros, during my distro-hopping days. It was invariably one of the first options I always set up.starhawk wrote:Single click to everything, as default. If I want my computer to behave like a ****ing Mac, I'll buy a ****ing Mac. This is not a Mac, therefore I should not be seeing single click anything except select. Period.

That is one of the things I have been working on improving, but I can't seem to get people to test the new version.ITSMERSH wrote:there's some stuff would be good to be improved like copy/paste,

and then theres resizing of icons in the window and vert/horiz arrangement among others. Try usr/lib sometime... and use a good font like Liberation-mono or sans-11pt. Easy on the eyes, less scrolling, see more of whats in there.
Makes me wonder if anyone configures the browser...

Cut copy and paste working well from initial tests.
Tried a big ISO and highlighted several files to transfer, no problems.
Would be nice to have a progress meter to replace the one that frequently breaks in puppy (for me anyways) but not sure if that is possible, no idea where that progress bar comes from. I've not seen it for months, since I broke it.

One thing that I should point out is that the progress bar only works when you are copying multiple items. If you are copying one directory with lots of stuff inside it still only counts as one item.
If you want some feedback when you are copying single directories with lots of files inside make sure the "Brief" option is NOT selected. It won't give you a progress bar, but at least you can see what is happening.
