Hi here's a interesting file manager, It comes with different themes, like kde,gnome,tango.windows etc, plus you can change the background colours, Rox would have a few lessons to learn from this file manager. Wink

Also I included a few puppies default icons, to make you feel more at home Smile

Another nice thing about the layout of this file manager is that you can click up top and select from different types of views, like just one window like rox, or 2 windows like windows, or 3 windows
Anyways you need foxlibs to run this file manager which you can get below.
enjoy

Ps I removed 2 pop-ups (your running as root & are you sure you want to close) These were a pain and included the altered source, to keep with gpl etc Smile

I was just looking at the XFE file manager today and thinking why isn't it used in Puppy?

I has just installed xfe-1.19.2-i386.pet and noticed that xfe.desktop was located in a '/usr/share/appliactions' folder instead of /usr/share/applications. The XFE menu item didn't appear until I copied the file to the regular /usr/share/applications folder.
Otherwise a nice and powerful file manager.
Thank you ttuuxxx.

Thanks for this. Much better than Rox.
I noticed that some of the file associations were pointing to programs I don't have, like Firefox for opening html files. I change them as I find them.

I did have a problem yesterday, though. I tried to delete a .jpg file from my Windows partition and Xfe hung on me for some reason. Had to resort to control+alt+backspace to get control back.

Bonjour à tous,
Is it possible to remove all those advertisings when opening and closing XFE?

esmourguit I just checked this version on 2.14X and there are no advertisements/popups reminders about root what so ever. You must be using another version.

make sure you delete /root/.xfe first before installing it

I really, really like Xfe. Very Happy

Run it on all kinds of Puppies.
e.g. BoxPup-413, Twinkle-421, Muppy-008.4c, Puppy-4.31.1, and more.

Not one has ever had any kind of problem.
Certainly no advertisements/popups.

Bonjour à tous,

Excuse me ttuuxxx. You're right. It's not your pet package.
In your, there is no warning message. However, the localisation is not supported.

Bonjour à tous,

@ ttuuxxx,
I've got the locale file for french, but in fact the executable xfe does not support the french locale file.
But don't worry, I solved the problem in the preferences, there is the choice to remove these warnings.
Thank you very much for your help.

how about this - no libFOX required (compiled statically with a lot of hacks) and with NLS & upx'd binary (I had to allow the linker to use -z muldefs for the binary to build statically which makes it larger but also highly compressible)

... need to edit /root/.config/xfe/xferc to have it automatically open with the correct programs (default* abiword, gnumeric etc... vs. openoffice progs) ... if someone does this please post the gzipped /root/.config/xfe/xferc and I will repackage it

... did not remove the running as root popups etc... since they can be turned off in preferences
