a stenopeic eye patch would enable you to half see

Open with dialogue

"Open with" is very useful but if you add extra applications they don't automatically get added to the drop-down list. If I knew what I was doing I could manually add items to the drop-down - but that isn't friendly for new users.

Getting late, going to find some black card, a needle and some string for an eyepatch. Hmm, pieces of eight - that would be a Byte I'm thinking.

@amigo

i was thinking more long-term, something that might be included in puppies future

although a folder like /root/puppy-reference [/root/puppy-config?] is not a bad idea . . .

@retrotechguy

Ah, I didn't notice that. It looked like a variation of another fluid filled spectacle system that I saw a few years back, geared towards 3rd world countries (IIRC, those were about $10).

OK, let me point you a different direction, since we're actually being serious about spectacles:

saw that somewhere else in this forum [another one of my whinefest threads]

since i'd need a prescription though [haven't 'seen' an eye doctor since the 90s] that's not an option either [doctors i rate as worse than government]

i've tried the pinholes before and was intrigued, as i don't drive they'd be perfect for me, i could see the ground while walking [important with ice everywhere] and could read spines on shelves and in boxes [bookscouting difficult in blurworld]

$4, no script, no headaches, no lens scratching [PLUS i get to look really weird]

whatever happened to the discussion about config files in the menu?

[maybe it wasn't such a good idea]

Maybe list some of them? Some I thought of puting in menu:

.xinitrc
xorg.conf
.jwmrc*
rc.sysinit ?
rc.shutdown ?

When I think of it I don't edit much common configs anyway, more like application specific confs. Anyone has more suggestions?

:D Hello,
Well, the only problem I see is some stuff like:
.xinitrc
xorg.conf
.jwmrc*
rc.sysinit ?
rc.shutdown ?
might well be left hard enough to find...
maybe an "Advanced" tab...IDK.. :D

As far as adding items to the Rox right click menu, Hairywill made an excellent little tool called "Rox-Right-Clicks" that does a wonderful job of creating a customized right click menu for your system.. I dont know how hard it is to find, but I find it invaluable and a must have for all my Puppies...So I have attached it here... 8)

@Amigo, thats brilliant...That is what the "Setup" icon in PAW is, linking to all the setup scripts..Now it will have a "Configure" sub-directory for advanced users..Thanks... :D
