I have always liked Xfe! But I have to admit, PathFinder is even faster. - Wow. It renders like gtk1.

Rezound is also very impressive.

:D :D :D

Thanks

Firstly, thank-you for your evident hard work - I can't get used to ROX and XFE is vastly superior. One quick question though - is it possible to set XFE as the default FM? Oh and another thing, can I disable the root warning that pops up on launch?

cheers

P.S. Using Dingo :wink:

To get rid of the root warning you can do this:

Edit > Preferences > Dialogs

untick the box that says "Warn if running as root"

Here's a dotpet that will make xfe the default file manager in Puppy.
It will overwrite the /usr/local/bin/rox script and move the original to /usr/local/bin/rox2. It also creates a new desktop file for rox which will execute rox2 instead. All the puppy scripts that use rox as a file manager should instead use xfe. Here is the script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
xfe &
exit 0
fi
if [ "$1" = -D ]; then
###don't believe there's a command to close specified window
exit 0
fi
if [ "$1" = -o ]; then
xfe "$2" &
exit 0
fi
if [ "$1" = -d ]; then
xfe "$2" &
exit 0
fi
if [ -d "$1" ]; then
xfe "$1"
exit 0
fi
if [ -x "$1" ]; then
xfe "$1"
exit 0
fi
if [ -x "$2" ]; then
xfe "$2"
exit 0
fi
rox2 "$@" &
exit 0

Title Bar Missing

#26 Post by dcbevins »

I've installed the above packages.

XFE will start, but is missing the title bar so I can't drag it around. It has no min/max/close buttons.

XFE from console gives this:

# xfe
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
#

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 exists as a link to libstdc++.so.6.0.9 in the same directory.
/usr/libFOX-1.6.so exists as a link to libFOX-1.6.0.0.31 in the same directory.

Is this a problem or is my problem some place else?

Thanks.

While xfe is opened, right click on the xfe icon in the taskbar and click on Maximize. You will then see the xfe title bar, you can also resize xfe by choosing the Resize option.

Hi Sylvander,

I didn't use the 1.19.1 XFE presented here. Instead, I used the one from Ubuntu installed from the PPM, which is now at v-1.32.2 I believe? At the moment I can't recall whether or not it showed up in the PPM window, or if I had to do a search for it - but I do seem to remember installing directly from BarryK's PPM and it working fine with LuPu regardless of the version.

The one problem I did have with XFE could be traced back to a bug itself with the FOX engine, and that was that the "Clearlooks Theme" they've encoded into XFE's FOX engine doesn't work to "round off the sharp edges". Yet that's solely a bug in looks and doesn't affect the performance.

I hope this has helped in some small way Sylvander? :)

Amicalement/Cheers!
