SFSdirloader
Posted: Thu 16 Jul 2009, 00:10
Thanks to ChoicePup and JRB, here is SFSdirloader.
This ChoicePup addon PET allows you to arrange your SFS files in directories and load each directories' sfs files all at once.
For example,
Create a directory named SFS and then create subdirectories according to whatever logical grouping for categories of interest or tasks.
Internet
Documents
Art
Music
etc..
In each sub-directory put whatever SFS files you would like to load for each category.
SFSdirloader will present a directory selector which will allow an SFS directory to be picked and every SFS file in that directory will be loaded at once.
It comes with an icon under Menu/Utility
Note: Since individual SFS files can be loaded by right-clicking in ROX, the SFSdirloader isn't set up to load individual SFS files.
EDIT: 12-20-2011 UPDATE
SFSdirload-standalone-0.3.
The prior SFSdirload was made to work with Choicepup. This version should work on any puppy as it sym-links all SFS files in a directory and cleans up during shutdown (thanks to some nice crisp code from Technosaurus).
If you check the box, the selected sfs directory will be placed in the Startup directory and loaded at boot.
You can also load an sfs directory from the command line e.g."SFSdirload /my/sfs/dir". Also, if you want to unmount and cleanup before shutdown, at any time run "SFSdirload stop"
I've tested this on Pup431 and Wary522 and have not run into any problems so far. However, do not run a Devx sfs because the linking will not work properly.
Below is a pet which will appear under Menu/Filesystem
Cheers,
