Rox Filer 2.2.0
Rox Filer 2.2.0
Rox Filer 2.2.0
the latest version is 2.3, but i had some dependency problems with it
this replaces Puppy's rox with rox 2.2.0
there will be a roxapp icon in my-roxapps
do not move the icon from the my-roxapps dir
right click the icon for Help or to Uninstall
requires about 2.5 megs of space
(requires 4.5 megs with the language files)
screenshot ... the most recently modifed files/folders have bold print
screenshot ... bookmarks ... notice the antialised text
screenshot ... properties box lets you set the permissions easily
screenshot ... languages work even when locales doesn't

Have placed this here
http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/LatestNews
I would suggest this is hopeful news for our other language supporters

it seems to work ok
not quite finished and polished
the thing is, the newer rox's use a different mime system, and the config files are not compatible with the old config files, and when you run the pinboard, it pops up a warning message if you use the -o option ... so you have to deal with all this stuff
i think i'll have to register this one with PupGet too ... the /usr/local/bin/rox file anyway ... if the original rox file was restored, it would run the old rox, which would be unhappy with the changed config files
of course, the old config files have to be backed up so they can be restored if you uninstall the newer rox
i should have a dotpup (about 935k) uploaded soon (well, soon-ish)

maybe try placing the code instead
Code: Select all
rox -p desktop

hmm
I like it but it will take time to get used to. Is Barry going to replace the old rox?
I hope not, not until I play with this and get used to it.
Again great job Guest Too!!!

Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!
pupget did not like the name i used to register
so i uploaded a new version with a slightly different name
(roxfiler instead of rox_filer)
i tweaked a few things ... the -o pinboard option in xinitrc is changed by the installer/uninstaller ... rox should find the shared-mime-info when running as spot ... i removed the debug/compile/zero-install stuff from AppRun (Puppy doesn't have that stuff)

There is a big size difference between the existing and the newer version. This is why as an option (pupget or .pup) it makes perfect sense. I doubt very much whether it is necessary to incorporate into Puppy 1.0.5
It is great to have this NEW Rox as an option (suiting the minimalists and those requiring extra functionality)
- I am using it for the last two days - it removed all my icons and desktop background on startup (and installed a default series) and now when I boot up a tiled background appears (I was trying to use wallpaper Xli without success as ROX which seems to have this facility - so some intereference?) and it asks me to confirm some -a option before going into the desktop - so still some glitches . . .
Apart from diferent icons I have yet to find 3 megs (over the old ROX) worth of improvements - what have others found useful - must have - in the new Rox?
Good Job G2 - always wondered about this newer Rox . . .
Many thanks much to explore . . .
Are we frisky enough?

you probably still have rox opening the pinboard with the -o option ... if you read readme.txt, it tells you to edit .xinitrc
if you right click the ROX-Filer icon, you can choose to edit .xinitrc
version 0.0.2 of my installer automatically edits .xinitrc for you
it also fixes a problem in registering with pupget
part of the extra size comes from the shared-mime-info package
there are over 1 meg of language files
and about 300k of icons

Hoorah! Just ran Puipget and got the enclosed error - will now reboot - install your newer Rox filer and run pupget again . . .version 0.0.2 of my installer automatically edits .xinitrc for you

well to be honest this makes New Rox (for some people) a priceless and most useful addition . . . "Now I get's it" (to quote Popeye)
I feel these dotpups are one of the most fun aspects of Puppy. The Radio, the BBC ticker . . . and the massive but so usable Inkscape
PS.
New Puppy Alpha2 1.0.5 arriving on Tuesday - I am already excited . . . must stay calm . . . must stay calm . . .

OK I survived [groans from all the fish]
The -o (when I booted seems to have been automated - so went straight into the desktop again . . . (did read something in the readme files about this . . .)
Running Pupget - I see that ROX 2.20 is now a Pupget . . .
see enclosed mtsnapshot [reminder: use mtsnapshot, draw box around selected area, press delete, resize canvas and sharpen if required - I did]
This must be a new breed.
Well I knew they were set to merge . . . (our two package installers - pupget and dotpup)
Does this mean that if I uninstall Rox 2.20 I am left with the standard Rox?
I would try it but I have some frisking to do . . .
PS. A package manager? Wassat? Somebody who works in a mail room? "Program installer" - does that make more sense to Grandma Maude (generic user)?

Ah, yes, that's a problem. PupGet only has a little brain ...sees an alien package with same name as one on the live-cd, so decides it is best to uninstall the alien package!
If I recall rightly, PupGet compares package names to the left of the "-", so PupGet would think it is a clash if the live-cd has say beaver-1.0 and there is an alien package beaver-2.0.
I think the way around this, ...well, one way anyway, would be to name the alien package beaver2-2.0.
