Hello all.

Please find attached a special edition of pekwm-1.17.
https://www.pekwm.org

Compiled expressly on and for the Puduan-6 Puppy, it sports:
-- the xprop utility above

-- about 15 themes, including the ones prepared for the Akita Puppy
__ by Scott Jarvis

-- an entirely new pekwm menu creator, which takes less than 3 seconds
__ to process approx. 230 entries. (See Note in 2nd post down.)

-- dynamic date and time in the menu, which calls a monthly calendar

-- script to I.D. the theme currently in use

-- a "Show desktop" off-and-on type entry in the pekwm submenu
__ (simillar to what icewm and jwm have), by "kittykatt". Wmctrl required.

-- the "Growl" Puppy Security Enhancements by Lobster

-- an exit script with numerous options, including starting a new session
__ with jwm

-- a small table explaining briefly the pekwm combo keys

-- a few docs presenting an overview of various pekwm features.

Not included:
-- type "pekwm urukrama" in any search engine to discover all kinds of
__ tips about pekwm
-- there are 190 pekwm themes as of this writing at box-look.org.

Any pekwm questions not answered in other resources, please ask in
the pekwm thread rather than here. TIA.

To reassemble the four attached files, open a terminal in the directory
where you downloaded them, and type:

Note about the new pekwm menu creator

Hello again all.

I just realized that the new pekwm menu creator was not picking up the
data in the mtpaint.desktop and the OpenOfficeDraw.desktop files.

The script is not at fault; its logic is sound. To correct this open the
program's desktop files and add the word > Graphics < on the
"Categories" line.

Ex. for mtpaint:

Hello.

If using frugal install and save-folder, everything should stay in there, or not?
Like having around ten different folders for example.. with different wm's, setups etc.

Some doupts about "forced" settings:
-rox, filer window layout should accept new setting from "Options" window
-gtkrc, rox bg may be more of a theme thing ... Confused

These little archives tend to pop out of folder
so when using multiple savefolders, will it (not) make a mess?

Try to arrange folder icons in /root "from left to right"
using ROX "Options" then save, close the window, re-open?
Well..
Using ROX menu one can rearrange icons, then "Save current settings for this window".
Most likely.. also the reason why "Options" don't work for that matter.

Just to bump it up a little.. Wink

Screeny misses xwd or something..

Rox bookmarks -better empty than dead links.

Green icon on rox pinboard (lower-right) that
directs to /root/my-applicatins/bin/kbmpanel2.sh ??

A little out of topic..
Interesting, how do I get the DVB-T to play with this Gnome thing? Rolling Eyes

h264 MPEG-4 AVC
with:
DVB subtitles (dvbs)
audio language preset
programme guide
channel switching across different freq
recording (live and/or sheduled from EPG)

Hello torm.

These "little archives" ? If you mean save folders, please ask someone
who uses them.

Puppy was originally designed to work with pupsave files, and they are
still the best way to get the most out of your Puppy. Save folders was a
concession to God knows who, and I always disagreed with the concept.
If you say they spill all over one another, then they do.

But pupsave files can never spill onto one another, they're inside each
their own container. So use pupsave files instead of save folders?

About your screen capture problem, the latest version (1.13) of "Take-a-
Shot" is working fine for me:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=686939&sort=lastpost#686939

About DVB-T, perhaps ask the multimedia crowd in the multimedia
section of this forum. I never used them myself.

Gnome "thing" ? You certainly could enrich your vocabulary! Wink

If you mean gnome-mplayer, may I suggest you open a terminal and type

Hello everyone.

Please find attached grep-3.0, publ. 2017-02-10.

The manual is here. The announcement and a review for this version
can be found at softpedia.

I compiled it from the source available here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep
(bottom of page) for this Puduan Jessie Pup (glibc 2.19). It won't work on
Pups with lesser glibc versions. There's nothing wrong with treating your
fans to a little exclusivity, eh?! Smile

This utility is presented in the traditional Puppy fashion, with exec, NLS
and DOC pet archives. You only need the exec pet to run it, but if you
want to run grep with your country's locale, you will need to download the
NLS pet as well. This pet contains 43 languages. The DOC pet contains
only the info file, the man file being included in the exec archive.

Finally, for the skeptics, grep's ChangeLog since 2009 is attached. Wink

Enjoy!

Hello again all.

Here's another exclusive for our friends: the JOE editor, v. 4.4, the latest
as of this writing. Compiled on this Puduan 6 Pup, so the same remarks
apply as for the grep-3.0 compilation described in the post above.

For those of you who may not know this great text editor, there's quite
a good article at LinuxInsider.

For more info generally about JOE:
url]http://www.ask.com/web?qsrc=1&o=0&l=dir&q=Joe's+Own+Editor&qo=serpSearchTopBox[/url]

The interest of having an editor like JOE as a tool on your Puppy system
is that it can be called both from the command line and from your WM
menu as a window (please see illustration attached).

Once you're accustomed to JOE's key combos, you can use it in both
environments quite efficiently. This way, you can even use it if you're
stuck at the initial black console and need to modify something in a script.

You can use it to compose a program in bash or several other languages,
as well as to whip up the text of an e-mail for your club members.

It's so evolved as an editor that it even has a quick "math service" line if
you need one! But please read some of the reviews mentioned above:
they'll explain JOE's features much better than I could.

Any constructive feedback about this compilation and pet archive is
welcome, of course.

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~
Various Notes --
1) The help panel shown in the illustration below is activated by typing
Cntrl-K-H, and the text features panel is activated by typing Cntrl-T.

2) The DOC archive contains a menu item that when clicked will bring up
joe's three (3) docs in your html viewer (such as dillo or links2).

3) In WM use, a small console will show up next to the main joe window.
It's meant to help you do file management or change directories easily
without disturbing your writing in joe.

4) To reassemble the 2 parts of the pet of the JOE exec attached below,
please open a terminal in your download directory and type

here are professionnal testers, the hungarian Puppy Linux team !
Seen on Facebook skamilinux site (friends of mine)
It's a hard work to develop, join your forces.. Developers are a lot...
Users will not test everyone.

Pelo

Installing hungarian version of puduan, just to take a glance, just to taste, not to test. Released inormation received in my Google drive and Facebook.
Hungarian team makes Puppies promotion whatever the country, so we have to be grateful and at least take a glance. We could try they hungarian Puppies, native from there, but they are generally big, too big for me.
Alpha versions should remain available only for testers... Smile

that is not true !
222 MB kernel 4.5.5 cooked. A table !
Ally, wait a little, sometimes puppy-makers don't want to hurry, and keep their Puppy alpha under control... I leave, i will post in hungarian S-kami section. English accepted. French no. Here are the borders between Puppies in Europe.
