Just used this to convert Gimp beta .pet to .sfs and it worked great.

cheers.

Trio's utility is great, however, it needs update. I used it to try to install an sfs on a full install of luci-235. Started the operation and left for a few hours. When I returned, not only had the sfs not installed, but it wiped two partitions clean. That bad experience hasn't stopped me from using Petmaker Plus to prepare pets and sfs though. It'd be great if someone updated it's sfs install feature.

Don't use the sfs install feature on the newer distributions.

If you want to install sfs's, don't use this, use his sfs-Installer instead, it's a stand alone app and it does work. (t=44765), at least with my 5.11.

Note to lucid puppy 5.2 users:

5.2 has the ability to install sfs files out of the box via Quickpet. Read here

It will download an sfs by copy and paste if the sfs link is a direct link to the file or you can install a local sfs from anywhere on your system by drag and drop.

Cheers

Trio,

Glad to have you back.

Thanks for the update and for keeping the capability to create an sfs file. It has worked well for me. You may want to rename it PET/SFS MAKER-2.0.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi, glad it works .... as for naming ... I like petmaker .... it sounds like pet (as in animal pet) creator ....

scottman,

I have only lupu 520 with me, so I can't check, but I'm most certain, it's the same rxvt ....

Edit: or is it not the same rxvt in lupu 520???

Maybe somebody using puppy version older than Lupu can help me check if rxvt can be embedded in the petmaker window? does it still work even if it isn't embbedded or it doesn't work at all

thanks
