Some PDFs have named pages i.e. if you open them in some viewers (e.g. Adobe's) instead of displaying the logical page number they display a number in a different format (perhaps i, ii, iii... in the preface and 1, 2, 3 in the main body of the document), and/or some other text. I spent quite some ti...

If you are interested in "pdf portfolios" i.e. pdfs with attached files, pdfdetach can extract them. But mutool can do that and also attach them in the first place. Poppler now also has a pdfattach. Sejda has an option to unpack attachments, and an option to create a "portfolio/colle...

Best for what? How is it better than Puppy, since we're on the puppy forum?

I love programming languages
I am just a rubbish coder

Probably my favourite language is Python because it was invented by a snake

Really? Not THE LOBSTER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE?

You can use it for scripting in Treesheets

Care to elaborate on why it's "best"?

Any comments on your experience with it? What does "without indexing, but clever crawling" actually mean?

Is it possible to make left pane window in rox? If it happened, I very like it. Not with the version Puppy use as far as I know. But using the bookmarks button gives you basically the same functionality. Not really on topic: I don't know if it's ever been mentioned but there is a very obscure softw...

Eh? You are confusing jwm the window manager with rox the filer.

I also use only one, fixed sized window.

You never find a need to drag and drop between two folders?

No, not via usb (unless the android device has two separate ports, which a normal phone doesn't). Normally the phone will tell you this when you enable tethering. Although I always thought that you could get a special dock, at least for some phones, which could provide power and connectivity at leas...

The key here is that the attack requires an elevation of privilege but if you can elevate privileges you can do many different attacks and so called "bashware" is just one option. Not to mention that it is surely a more complicated option. The danger is that either Microsoft won't support...

FWIW WSL2 is obviously a lot more like Colinux.

As for systems getting extinguished by WSL, the more likely victums are cygwin and mingw Yes - I'm not using them these days because I have WSL - even on a non-technical level, I figure it's easier to justify to anyone who has an issue with me installing it on my work machine i.e. I can say "b...

Assuming you don't need alsa or some special kernel module the most likely problem you'll notice is poor IO performance. Looks like some (most?) of that'll be changing soon; not sure about alsa though. Today we’re unveiling the newest architecture for the Windows Subsystem for Linux: WSL 2! Changes...

Sorry, I haven't been getting forum notifications lately for some reason. Even changed to using a different email address instead of Gmail and it made no difference.. That's the official line, but it's trivial to install an x server on windows, and then gui programs work great. Which X server do you...

YASSM: yet another samba share mounter Hi disciple - this post on page 1 of the thread needs updating if possible - currently linking to pzombie instead of yassm. cheers! Perhaps this is the desired link: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=63090 Thanks guys; only just saw your posts.

I thought when you run 32 bit programs on 64 bit linux you only have a 64bit kernel, and both 64 and 32 bit userspace. So they are probably talking about running with only 64bit kernel and only 32bit userspace. The 32 bit kernel would be included in the iso to support 32 bit machines, but you only e...

I use treesheets.

For those interested in "multidimensional spreadsheets" like Lotus Improv and Quantrix, see my post about running Improv in wine:

Sorry anybody confused by that post - I said Flexisheet, but I meant Treesheets! Corrected.
