You are a Genius!!!!!!! Smile

xarchiver what I've tested so far is, rpm,deb,wal,wsz,xpi,zip,tar.gz,and YESSSSS tar.bz2 extracts very quickly:) under 1 minute for Firefox sources a 16+minute saving:) Smile

Sure it doesn't do .pet or pup because its a non standard but I'm sure that we could get that working Smile

Anyways WhoDo if your reading this, Please, Please add this tiny application in the next puppy release, if not to replace XArchive then to just supplement it, It also would be good if we had it recognize mimes for tar.bz2,rpm,wal,xpi since XArchive has no clue what to do with them by default,
I have included at the bottom 2 version, one with doc and locales included and one with no doc's and no locales, just in English, Probably the one to use if WhoDo decides to included it in the next puppy release. But first we would have to work on the mime types Smile

I've used 7Zip in windows, but the default 7zip for linux is command line, I'm looking for a gui, Plus i found a Gui for 7zip but it needed Python stuff, so thats still a no go.

What about Peazip? I seem to remember it being a bit larger, but it's my archiver of choice when I have to work on Windows machines.

Hi SirDuncan earlier I posted that Peazip works but its way too large, like 6.2MB pet, I was looking for something that worked and was small. Anyways how ya been? I haven't seen you posting much lately on here? Same with alienjeff? Hope all is well

also Peazip is very fast also, not as fast as command line, but under a minute. Too bad its so large

Oops, I guess I must have zoned out before the end of your post. My faux pas.

Oh, I'm fine. I'm just not a very prolific poster. Normally, by the time I have decided what I want to say, someone else has already said it.

AJ has been posting to his blog and website a lot, so I wouldn't worry about him too much.

aw shucks, ttuuxxx

Glad you like it - seems modifiable, too, eh?

One of my appeals is full internationalisation, so glad to see/promote this

Translations:
Xarchiver is already available in a lot of languages, but even more languages are missing from the list. The documentation is only available in English language. So if you are good at translating software to new languages or improving existing translations, feel free to join us on the xfce-i18n mailing list.

Do you like Xarchiver? Offer me a pizza, so that I can enjoy it while coding..... Wink

@ WhoDo
This is becoming a bear of a thread - Is there a chance you could start a new one with your summary of what's in, what's out & what's tentative/proposed, possibly with links to said packages in the initial post so that we could help with testing.

i think we will have pmusic and gxine in 4.2 (right?).

if so, i would suggest that we split the actual defaultmediaplayer in

defaultaudioplayer => pmusic
defaultmediaplayer => gxine

and link all audio-mimetypes that were definitely supported by pmusic with defaultaudioplyer and leave all other with defaultmediaplayer.

to simply play some mp3s or oggs, we don't have to start gxine.

also we could add defaultaudioplayer to the right-click-menu in rox.

cheers

I agree with you 100% the only thing that I would like to see is that Pmusic gets a equalizer, I did talk to him about it and basically we would have to figure out some sort of code for it. I like pmusic a lot, but I'm still resorting back to other media players to play my cd's / mp3's, alsa does have a eq plugin at sourceforge but it doesn't compile well with puppy, also xmms has a eq plugin, that could work if we had a developer look at the source. Natural sound is nice but a bit of treble and bass boost is always nicer:)

Try this - 31 band eq, much better than treble/bass only Wink

If you want proaudio tools, fons adriaensen's Japa [parametric/analyser] etc here

http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/index.html

Quote:

>From the README:

JAPA is a 'perceptual' or 'psychoacoustic' audio spectrum
analyser. This means that the filters that are used to
analyse the spectrum have bandwidths that are neither
constant (as in JAAA), nor proportional to the center
frequency (as in a 1/3 octave band analyser), but tuned
to human perception. With the default settings, JAPA uses
a filter set that closely follows the Bark scale.

I will add a right click option for pmusic to my collection of right click handlers. None of the other filetypes currently have a right-click option that is to explicitly launch "default player/editor/viewer" so I am not sure there should be one for audio.

Can we club the libraries/components/plugins from Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey together so we can save some space?
