I'm dissapointed that you haven't maintained the attachments for previous versions. Do you have copies of them available somewhere else?

new version 5.2.3

very minor changes. Hardly worth the upgrade.
I've spent the weekend on making a Squeeze version.

For people who want to
experiment with the latest kernel
try Squeeze Puppy . I've made a special
version of Right click just for it.

Changed two things

1) wav to mp3 conversion -- both single file and folder

2) scripts are treated different. They shouldn't be edited with Abiword
so I substituted nicoedit

Just click to install

I added a new feature ... conversion of wav to mp3.

Both an entire folder and a single file.

Hi Don,

Great app, but what I do not see is "open with "sfs (un-)load on the fly"".

Could you tell me -being a very low-profile wannabee user- how to do this ?

Sfs load on the fly pet installs sfs_load right click itself.

You have to right click sfs file.

Then the sfs_load right click has been removed from it. Install the sfs load on the fly pet or extract it and copy only the right click stuff.

I modified the Extract-txz script written by Nathan Fisher and Tazoc

It now will open a .tar.xz archive. This format will become more
popular when people realize that it compresses much better that gzip
and it has about the same speed as gzip.

There is a lot of confusion about this script.
I just read on the Exprimo page that 'pemasu' has hacked it
as well Laughing

All I know for sure is that I first saw it
in the Lighthouse 4.43 distribution by Tazoc over a year ago.
The script that I am using now originated in Lighthouse 503.
The script says clearly that it is written by Nathan Fisher,
But for some strange reason it only extract files
with the extension .txz which is a rare extension, so I
just ignored it till now. Now I realize my mistake, and
Barry Kauler has xz util builtin to recent versions of Wary!!

So the .tar.xz method of compression should become
more popular now.

To test if it is working correctly, go to a website that
distributes files using this extension
http://tukaani.org/xz/
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/

Download a file and right click it.

___________________________________________

BTW pemasu put his version in /usr/bin/Extract-txz
which has precedence over the 'correct' place to put
it namely /usr/local/bin/Extract-txz

This caused me a lot of confusion ---> I thought
my version wasn't working correctly!! But it just
turned out that pemasu's version was the one
that was recognized by the operating system.
I suggest using 'pfind' to see if the script has been installed
previously.

new version 5.2.5 available on first page.

The new feature is extraction of .txz and .tar.xz files.
