updated again.
Small patch in source, now it remembers the window-size again.
That was a bit broken by my sidebyside code.

TIP: OUTDATED, SEE UPDATE FURTHER DOWN. FORGET THIS TIP!

Hello,

Do you have the .patch files stored elsewhere? I am interested in applying these patches to an RPM. Thanks.

you can unzip the dotpup.
Rename it to .zip, then use your favourite packager.
The patched files are in /usr/local/Pcmanfm/lib/patched-source/

Thank you very much, Sir!

I updated the dotpup.

You no longer need to rename files, to use pcmanfm instead of Rox.
I added a utility, that handles if you want to activate Rox-Filer-windows or Pcmanfm-windows.

It includes a modified rox startscript, that will check in a configfile, if it shall use rox or pcmanfm to display filerwindows.
The configfile is set by a utility in the menu, "set-Pcmanfm".
It will always use Rox-filer for special commands like --RPC (to set the backgroundpicture) or running PuppyPin (the desktop-Icons of Puppy).
A backup of your old /usr/local/bin/rox is created on installation.

There's finally a new release of pcmanfm out today.

http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/

Fantastic.
The big pictures or /proc no longer crash it.
Now it is "perfect" Smile

I updated it with my patches and uploaded the new dotpup.
It now is compiled with support for hal-storage.
That lib is included.
This is needed to mount drives.

On my Puppy it will not work though, as I have no "hal-daemon" running.
But if you find out how to add that, pcmanfm should use it.

oh no, it is broken.
The mime-handling was completely rewritten, and does not work in Puppy Sad

ok, wrote new converterscripts.
Now new, "invisible" .desktop files are created from the rox-mimetypes.
These .desktop-files are placed in
/usr/share/applications/puppy, and contain the mime-type definitions.

This new pcmanfm depends on desktop-file-utils.
My scripts offer to download/install a dotpup I once made.

Updated dotpup.
my script rox2desktop had some wrong entries, fixed now.

However I found another bug:
if you right-click a file, open with, then you can choose "all applications".
Some crash pcmanfm, e.g. if you try to open a .jpg with "defaultdraw".

This should be checked...

Nice to see that development continues. I really like this file manager - is simple, fast and has only a few dependencies.
What about mounting drives in it? I wonder if it would be possible to substitute current Puppy Drive Mounter with it?

MU · Posted: Tue 05 Feb 2008, 00:08 Post subject:

As far as I understood, the mounting-features require the HAL-Daemon.
We have no package for that.
I compiled pcmanfm with HAL-Support, so it could use the daemon, if we had it.

One of the 2.1x Retro-Puppys has an own solution to mount drives.
Some Icons lying on the desktops.
It would be great to have this as a dotpup.

Updated dotpup.
Minor change in "/usr/local/bin/rox":

Pcmanfm did not open, if invoked as
rox -d thefolder

Fix:

I launched pcmanfm in a console and it is missing this lib:
libstartup-notification-1.so.0
I downloaded the 5 libs below from http://www.puppylinux.ca/ttuuxxx/Libs/
libstartup-notification-1.a
libstartup-notification-1.la
libstartup-notification-1.so
libstartup-notification-1.so.0
libstartup-notification-1.so.0.0.0

Should these be linked together in a package?
I tried copying libstartup-notification-1.so.0 to /usr/lib
Now pcmanfm spits out this error. "libstartup-notification-1.so.0" file too short"

The above website is the only place I could find this lib.
This forum returns nothing in search, although this lib is listed in this thread:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=161136&sid=5c6e2f2f4dbc38710e8ba379f9f28433

I'm just asking, why not have these libs symlinked together and in a package with the symlinks already created?
I don't know which of the above five libs needs to be symlinked to which one of the other five.

Off topic: When searching for a lib for my Zaurus, (linux embedded palmtop), all the libs are in packages and they are already symlinked together.
Inside the packages some only have 3 files, but others have 5 files, and several of these files(libs) are just a symlink of one of the other files(libs) in that particular lib package.

EDIT:
I just found the above lib that pcmanfm is looking for.
They are in /usr/local/Pcmanfm/lib

Do I need to symlink all these libs to /usr/lib ?

MU · Posted: Mon 10 Mar 2008, 00:23 Post subject:

the libs should be included by /usr/bin/pcmanfm , which is a script.
It includes this line:
