Here's an app by Geoffrey and myself to search the boot partition and list the save files so you can back one up, It gives a choice of save directory and appends the date to the end.

Edit: Added multiple file selection and save confirmation splash screen. Fixed canceling at "choose directory" window saves to root.

Edit2: Allows saves to the current directory or choose a location and a pulsating progress bar has been added.

Edit3: Fixed typo in .desktop file. Changed to version 1.0.1

Yet another app by Geoffrey and myself. UnPak-0.1, extract different types of packages all from one icon in the right click menu with the choice of current directory or choose a directory. Package types include: .deb, .pet, .rpm, .sfs, .pkg.tar.xz (arch), and .xzm (porteus).

The method of extracting rpm package is to use 'exploderpm'
It gives more consistent results as BarryK found out.
Posted on 20 Jun 2011, 9:52 by BarryK
rpm mime handling
I created a RPM icon for ROX-Filer. This is in Woof, so will be present regardless of what ROX package Puppy is built with.

I have changed /usr/local/bin/pupzip so that it uses 'exploderpm' instead of 'rpm2cpio'. Hopefully this will expand all RPMs, not just those from Mageia.

Note that pupzip is not handling RPMs in the most efficient manner, as exploderpm is being used to expand the RPM and convert to a .tar file, then open in Xarchive (or Xarchiver). So, there is an intermediary expansion in /tmp.

X-Con-0.1

#35 Post by rg66 »

X-Con is a combination of UnPak and a converter script. The end result is a right click app that lets you extract or convert packages.

Package types include: .deb, .pet, .rpm, .sfs, .pkg.tar.xz (arch), .xzm (porteus), .lzm (slax), and .txz (slackware). All supported package types can be converted to .pet or .sfs

Edit: More bug fixes. Changes to version 1.0.2

Edit2: Cleaned up the code

X-Con-1.0 is released, we're calling it finished (for now).

A few bug fixes, enhancements, and it should unpack most rpm's now (hopefully). See original X-Con post above to download.

I made a special Audacity 1.3.9 pet package for Carolina lite,
but it also works for many other puppies.
It has a right click menu item.(see image)
It opens and saves mp3 wav ogg files etc.

Themes for Carolina

#46 Post by Geoffrey »

Carolina for sometime as had Xfce Theme Manager, with this it is possible save custom themes settings.

It isn't all that difficult to package your own themes to share with other Carolina users, as you can see in this example,

it does take a little getting use to creating these, but by extracting the pet package you will see how it's constructed.

This is something I put together as a test, the Ambiance-Orange-Xfce-GTK-2.0-XFWM4 is one I edited so as to only contains gtk-2.0 and xfwm4 styles directories.

also win8 mouse cursors and XFaenza icons.

Prior to installing this theme it would be wise to create a custom theme of your existing layout, in Xfce Theme Manager select "Custom Theme" and save it.

Get it here Ambiance-Carolina-1.0.pet

When installed go to Menu > Control Panel > Desktop > Xfce-Theme-Manager, under themes tab select Ambiance-Carolina-1.0.

The theme should now automatically change, post here if you have any problems with it, Lina lite user will need to install the xfce theme manager from the repo.

Code: Select all

Com-Pac-Ed is a right click app to combine pets, sfs's or both into one package.It can also be used as a pet or sfs editor. All packages must be in the same directory, just highlight the files you want to combine and right click > Combine edit PET SFS. Or, right click a single pet or sfs > Combine edit PET SFS and go straight to an edit window. Both have the option to save as pet or sfs.

This will replace Pack-Ed and SFS-Com as it can do the same and more.

Edit: Changed so single pet or sfs does not ask for a new name. Updated version to 1.1

Pac-Tools-1.0 by geoffrey and myself. This one replaces all the others and does everything from the right click menu. Edit, extract, combine and convert from one app.

Edit pet or sfs, extract or convert (allows for editing) 9 different types of packages (added support for slax7 .sb) and combine multiple pets and sfs's into a single pet or sfs.

Package types include: .deb, .pet, .rpm, .sb (slax 7), .sfs, .pkg.tar.xz (arch), .xzm (porteus), .lzm (slax 6), and .txz (slackware).

This is compatible with the default yad in puppy, v0.12.4, up to the current yad.

Should work with most XFCE puppies as well.
