I updated the retro look of the resizing of pupsave

*I placed this in programming to have an example using Xdialog

resizepfile.sh in /usr/sbin

it was originally written in xmessage
I updated it to Xdialog

I kept it about 98% the same in the menu messages to keep things familiar
the coding with Xdialog is very different though
I didnt go crazy with a total re write just an update

I added 1GB and a 2 GB options and removed the very small 16M and 32MB ones

testers and feed back /hacking welcomed

Hope ttuuxxx is preparing a pet for us quiche eaters . . .
I hope the feature freeze in Lucid 5.2.2 can be de-iced . . .

I regularly go for the max 1 gig and will be glad to go up to 2 Gig as standard.
Thanks Joe look forward to using this . . .

Usually I make a 16GB pupsave, and copy it, so I can quickly start fresh for compiling Smile

Hi,

This is interesting in that it seems that the reported possible 1.8 GB size limit for a save file must be obsolete, but:

(a) is there a new upper limit?
(b) can the pet be be used in any Puppy?
(c) if an existing save file of say, size 1 GB with 512 MB (50%) used is increased to 2 GB (with still only 512 MB used) - how (if at all) is that likely to affect boot time?

My regards

Why not have a selection: 'Input custom size', which would open an inputbox to let the user input any size?

Hello,
Here is a Yad version of rezisepfile.sh - i rearranged the main GUI a little bit and bumped max save file size to 3GB.

thanks.
