Next Puppy 5.0.2 29 September 2011
Hi Iguleder,
Regarding Opnbox - here is a simple modification i used to make openbox mini right click menu with custom quick launchers at top with normal puppy menus in Apps.
Only relies on the /root/.config/openbox/ menu_top.xml and menu_bottom.xml files so no major menu hacking.

iguleder... whoa... Ive been messing with NEXT for several days... Im s-oooo glad you did this "wmakerPup" ! Wmaker is an old favorite... really old... I was using it in 1997 if thats a clue.
Ive also just tried wbar (from another iguleder thread)... looking forward to adding wbar to my NEXT install !
thanks for being a minimalist !

Glad to hear
I want to make a new version based on Guy Dog (with Window Maker instead of Openbox, tint2 and wbar) after the next release of Guy Dog, which will be 5.0.1, nothing but a bug fix release.

Good luck with that, as always !
while wmaker has desktop functionality not found elsewhere,
it lacks much of the flexibility Rox-Filer offers respecting access to
directories / app icons... can ROX be added to a wmaker type
desktop, or, not compatible ?
just wondering
There is also windowmaker drawer available in the debian repos. Easily configured. I can provide a basic walkthrough for setting up & configuring wmdrawer if someone would like me to.
Here is the complete desktop the above windowmaker drawer is pulled from.

you are right... Im just used to pulling the icon from ROX and usingIguleder wrote:Yes, of course. I just find it totally unneeded - desktop icons are a means for quick access to common applications, but you already have Window Maker's dock.
that on desktop... ROX might not even be supported with the
NEXT/wmaker ?
wmaker makes an editable icon whenever an app is run, so,
if the app can be started, there is no icon problem; however, I
could still see ROX as helpful in this mix, as some applications
use oddball names or spelling, so, seeing the click-and-run icon
in a visible bin directory is quite useful.
thanks again for this innovative puppy distro !
For Next Pup users who do not like the current emelFM2 in Next Pup there is a new pet Iguleder made that has the default actions with files working much better. I am attaching the pet for anyone who would like to try it out.
There are a few instructions though.
delete ~/.config/emelfm2 before you install it.
put "feh" in /usr/local/bin/defaultimageviewer after installing.
So after editing defaultimageviewer it should look like this:
feh does not like .gif files it seems so double clicking to open a .gif file will not work but everything else i tried seemed to work great.
There are a few instructions though.
delete ~/.config/emelfm2 before you install it.

Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
exec feh "$@"
How to install pet?
Sorry for the noob question How to install a package from a .pet file under Next puppy? There is no Rox here that would accept click-on-filename...pacer106 wrote:I am attaching the pet for anyone who would like to try it out.
Hey, is there anybody here who knows the secret about command-line usage of ppm?
Emelfm2
Thanks, guys...
However, the pet above fails to install.

I have the same problem with an error message trying to install with petget regardless of which pet I try to install.gjuhasz wrote:Thanks, guys...

I've just booted with the new trinity-3.5.13.sfs and it's working great so far. It's much easier for me to use the KDE WM than it is to use the native Next WM.
Thanks for the new Trinity,
Jim
Petget uses tar binary. I had some problem with squeeze tar binary which caused failure of extracting txz. Not sure of course, if tar binary from debian sid will help with petget but you never know. Sid tar binary has been in exprimo for several versions now.

AFAIK tar 1.22 support xz, lots of pups are now on 1.26, at least, that's what I upgraded to recently...pemasu wrote:Petget uses tar binary.

Updated emelfm2.pet works well
Good news: I added the content of the updated emelfm2-0.8.0.pet (file-by-file, then commented out Line38 in a file which reported error). Now it can invoke petget that installs the downloaded .pet files well.Jim1911 wrote:I have the same problem with an error message trying to install with petget regardless of which pet I try to install.
Thanks pacer106.

See pacer106's post above.
Well... it is a shame... I extracted the pet in wndws using 7zip .
Resulted a folder. I put it in a pendrive then copied its files to their place one-by-one in next puppy (everything is under /usr ).
