Rox Filer

smokey, you can also select only few files that you want to leave, then "invert selection" (right click on eye icon)

G'day,

Thanks for the replies about the lack of a Ctrl+Shift option in Rox.

I thought this was such a simple and normal file manager tool that I assumed I had just missed where it was in Rox or how to turn it on, but it looks like it's just not there.

I'll use another file manager like 'worker' when I need to handle a large group of files in a larger number of files. Maybe even Windows' file manager under Wine.

For everything else, Rox is excellent once you get the hang of it.

With 'Rodent' icons on the menu bar and the 'Gion' icon theme.

[brymway]

That looks great. I'll have to get that one. Are those .pets?

[trapster]

Gion can be found Here

Rodent can be found Here

The Rodent folder can be found inside the xfce4-icon-theme folder after it's unpacked.

[brymway]

Do you plan on making a .pet for those?

[trapster]

Not planning on it. Just download them to where you need them and extract.

Code: Select all

pixmap_path "/path/to/icons"
 
style "normal" {
  stock["gtk-close"] = {{"close-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-go-up"] = {{"up-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-home"] = {{"home-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-refresh"] = {{"refresh-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-zoom-in"] = {{"zoom-in-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-zoom-fit"] = {{"zoom-fit-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-jump-to"] = {{"jump-to-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-sort-ascending"] = {{"sort-icon.png"}}
  stock["gtk-help"] = {{"help-icon.png"}}
  stock["rox-show-hidden"] = {{"hidden-icon.png"}}
  stock["rox-show-details"] = {{"details-icon.png"}}
  stock["rox-select"] = {{"select-icon.png"}}
}
 
widget "*" style "normal"

after editing path to icons folder and icon names restart X or get gtkrefresh binary from thread mentioned and new toolbar icons should apear in rox, this is what i got, see screenshot attached[/quote]

I might have missed something here but I just wanted to add for those who say dealing with large amounts of files is a pain...

Just drag a box around the files you want to select and select them that way. Then, hold down ctrl and click on any you want to add or subtract to or from that group. Then move them as you normally would.

[brymway]

Interesting tip. Hadn't seen that one.

[TwoPuppies]

To replace the default images see
/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/images
/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX/MIME
(note that while you are in the apps directory you may need to right click and "look inside")

‭In Puppy 4.2.1 the only toolbar icons for the standard ROX-filer window in /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/images are:
‎rox-select.png
‎rox-show-details.png
‎rox-show-hidden.png

‎/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX/MIME contains none at all.

‎Where might I find the others?

‎Moreover, what is the location of the commonly used button icons, such as the “Quit

If that is gtk1 version of rox, I think it has a folder in /use/share
Amigo has a nice tarball on his amigo Linux repo at ibiblio

Edit - his rox stuff is here:
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dist ... ROX-Filer/

I posted a pet in the pupngo thread a while back too.
