Muppy-Filer (August, 31, 2008)

[vovchik]

Dear Mark and Eyes-Only,

Just to add my two "kopecks" to this nice discussion, I have lived in Vienna for decades and, while I have probably not eaten Schweineohren - since I don't eat sweets - it also sounds pretty Viennese and brings back memories of New Year's celebrations in Vienna. I would venture to say that this delicacy would also be eaten here...and in every German-speaking region where people say "mir san" for "wir sind". Na sicher...net?

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. The filer works fine with IceWM with double-clicks in Puppy 3.02 with Mark's newest GTK-Basic.

OH MARK! How wonderful those photos were!!! Thank you my dear friend and "broder" for sharing them and your trip with me! Here I cannot travel (and you know why ), and yet... you have permitted me the chance to see another part of the world through wonderful photos! This reminds me of years ago when other "friends" would do likewise. Where are they now?

One thing though? If the islands around the castle lake are "baroque"?---then why don't they "fix" them? LOL! Okie, okie! Bad play on word sounds... Nobody shoot me, huh?

And here you have a shot of "sweetbreads"---but no shots of the "sweet girl" you went to visit? Hmm...

Now down to business: You asked me: "What window manager do you use in Puppy?" You would have been better Mark---and YOU of all people should know this! To have asked me, "What do you NOT use?" In my version 4.00 I have yet to install KDE. Oh yeah... and I do not have e17. But I have everything else and someday will get around to having the rest of Gnome 2.20 put in.

So no, the double-click did not work for me in neither IceWM, and this morning only worked ONCE when I booted into Openbox/LXpanel. It isn't even passing any errors to the "xerrs.log" found in "/tmp" where many of the other errors are known to go. So I can't give you a read out from that file. Nor is it passing anything to "/var/logs" (as those only deal with bootup anyway). And there seems to be nothing in the "Muppy-Filer" directory under /root but .conf files---nothing indicative of an err.log.

So I don't know what to tell you mein broder?

I do know that I was having some trouble back here a bit ago with my Openbox/LXpanel where it was crashing a lot which I felt may have been due to the fact that I have a LOT of software installed into Puppy-4.0---more than I usually do on my hard drive installs (around 3 or 4 gigs) so I was thinking "software conflicts". I re-installed my Openbox/LXpanel this morning and that did solve the problem.

Eh bien, comme on dit: "Rien est parfait!" Et comme j'ai ajoute: "...sauf moi!" LOL!

Thanks again for the photos Mark! My grandchildren will also enjoy seeing these as well.

Amicalement/Mazzel!

Oh! Vovchik! Sorry! My head would be forgotten if not attached! You know something? "Pig's Ears" would be an excellent reason to begin eating sweets. IMHO that is anyway. You could ALWAYS make the exception for them anyway. LOL! They are Divine!

I really miss our little Bavarian patisserie!

Dear Eyes-Only,

You have been a real "good guy" on the forum and I very much appreciate that. Merci! I compiled IceWM myself and it does accept the MU-file keystrokes without xerrors. Nothing in /tmp/xerrs.log, I just checked. What I would like to see in Mu-Filer is a function-key link to the bottom buttons, just like krusader, which I like. I guess I could do that myself if I get off my derrier. And MU would do it better, I am certain.

Amicalement,
vovchik

PS. The assortment of great pastries was overwhelming when I arrived here in 1975. I just had to say "NO" eventually, but the appreciation did not diminish.

I updated the filer for vovchik, now he can use the functionkeys

You can edit the keys in
/usr/local/Muppy-Filer/resource/buttons1events.inc

I hope the keycodes are identical on every system.

Code: Select all

	if key = "65471" then
			buttonedit()
	end if

This should open the current file in leafpad, if "F2" is pressed.

I also included a small bugfix, when you copy files, the progresslist was not updated in a clean way.

Jimmi,

I live in a house with an elevator.
If you can manage somehow, to take the plain to germany, you are welcome.
I then would arrange, that we pick you up from the airport.
You could stay in my appartment, I have a free room.
Karlsruhe has the best cablecar system in germany, suited for wheelchairs. So we could visit the city and wider area around it.

So it would be possible for you, to pass 2 weeks here.
Let me know via PM, if you are interested.
I also worked with pysically injured people, so I know the details of what for requirements you might need.

@Vovchik: My goodness! What have I ever done to deserve such kind praise from such a good person yourself? For you, too, have always been such a great person to have had around on this forum! You've helped a lot of people, done a lot of software for Puppy, done a lot of trial software to help out people... All of this goes far and above the call of duty my fellow Puppian Friend.

Myself? I mainly make clownish comments. I don't so often help like when I first came here. Ask Mark! I was always trying out something new of his when I first came here. LOL! He helped me A LOT back then (still does of course!) and he was/is my "Linux Mentor". Just like I had one for Windows---Mark is mine for Linux.

@Mark: I've replied to your VERY generous offer in pvt msg my dear brother. You are too kind! I had to keep wiping the rivers of tears from my eyes to see the keyboard to type... (I don't touch-type LOL!)

Good-day gentlemen!

Amicalement,

Where could I find Muppyfiler-gtkbasic.pet ?

URL starting with ftp://ks301128.kimsufi.com does not work......

Thank you very much.

Try here:

[Sit Heel Speak]

MuppyQuickmount is pretty good too...though, the .pet does not give a success message at the end, and you need to ...uh, I forget, either restart X or reboot, to put it in your Filesystem menu...so, just reboot...

[claude]

Thank you very much Monsieur.

Imagine how wonderfully cool it would be if Muppy-Filer could read/sort ID3 Tags. The possibilities for managing USB mass storage type players are endless with such an option, and as far as I know, no other file manager can do this, meaning I have to use something code heavy like Amarok for the job. It would be great to be able to select all my songs by Genre, or Artist, or maybe Album, to transfer to my player instead of trying to remember these details.
Maybe this is not possible, but if it could be done, Muppy-Filer would be unique Maybe a switch on/off option?

is this program still under development, i could add to wiki?

I like Muppy-Filer way better than emelfm2.

too bad - there's not an puppy that only used Muppy-Filer solo (without rox).

[musher0]

Hi.

If you want Muppy-Filer to work from anywhere, including from the ROX desktop, put this
on line 2 of file /usr/local/Muppy-Filer/Muppy-Filer :

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/Muppy-Filer

BFN.

cutting-edge ... in the past
i was visiting muppyquickmount because pmount does not see my pendrive in tooppy first ages (Racy)
i store muppy-filer in my tool case, for the future ! (24k)

[Pelo]

I have to study Muppy stuff Muppy filer, and Quickmount
The works of our ancestors Puppy are restored little by little.
Muppy-Filer remains a cutting-edge application. N'est-ce pas ?

[davids45]

G'day Pelo,

I regularly use Muppyfiler for file manipulations.

It was a "cutting edge" package of great quality, to keep sharp for 7 years .
