Welcome back Cool, I found this very useful, saves me constantly having to use the ppm while I'm working on test installs,
the only thing I found is if the app saves its setting to a file that was installed, it will have those settings,
I've only come across this once with a game I made into a pet, but that is a minor problem, keep up the good work.


Yeah, it copies the current files listed in /root/.packages, not the originals..thus the ability to change the name for an update. The "save directory" option is for manually adding files not listed in .packages.

If anyone would like a simplified version:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
D=$HOME/.packages/builtin_files
PKGS=`ls -1 $D`
PKG=`Xdialog --stdout --combobox "select package to petify" 0 0 $PKGS`
[ $PKG ] && {
   mkdir /tmp/$PKG
   for x in `cat $D/$PKG`; do
      [ -d $x ] && cd $x || cp --parents `pwd`/$x /tmp/$PKG
   done
echo "




" |dir2pet /tmp/$PKG && $0
}

The accurate package names and pet.specs for the builtin names are found by searching the woof-installed-packages. In many cases, they're a combination of several packages. For that reason, I didn't want to include an inaccurate pet.spec. For a unique pet.spec, just check "save directory" and then run dir2pet on it in the /tmp folder.

For the user installed packages, gnewpet includes the original pet.spec file, eliminating the need to design a new one.

Hi,

I am totally sorry to post again about the same issue, but i do have the same results as i did get using gnewpet version 6.0. Exclamation

I do get the correct list of installed applications of the mounted sfs inside the mounted iso. If i select one pet to rebuild, i do get only the "var" directory and its content (maybe created by gnewpet?).

I did this using the new diamond iso - trying to rebuild timidity. Doing this using installed gnewpet 6.2 was not successful! Shocked

After installing my previous posted and modified script, i do get all the files. and after installing timidity i just did need to search manually for some missed libs. These libs seem not to be listed in the ".files" file of timidity - so everything seems to be alright with that fact. Found all the libs inside diamond and copied into my LazY Puppy - and succeeds!

Data:

Path in gnewpath: /mnt/+mnt++mnt+sdb2+Diamond528rtp.iso+lupu_528.sfs (path /root/.packages is predefined in gnewpet)

Full path is: /mnt/+mnt++mnt+sdb2+Diamond528rtp.iso+lupu_528.sfs/root/.packages

Note, i do get the right and complete list of installed apps in diamond! Exclamation

Please would somebody improve this using a mounted sfs inside a mounted iso and trying to rebuild a application which is NOT installed inside the actually running puppy. Please, do so - this wonderful application should work in every detail, but actually it doesn't. Crying or Very sad

Better saying: actually it does only work correct if using my previous posted modified script.

Found it. Hope that fixed it.

Version 6.4: Added a feature that searches the woof packages for a selected builtin, adding the correct name to the NewName entry in addition to installing the correct pet.spec file into the package. Some builtins are a combination of several packages, so you'll simply get a message to that effect. Works with both relative and installed directories.

Version 6.5 Using builtin Woof-Names/specs feature added for batch mode (there's a checkbox in the batch window). If the builtin uses multiple packages, it will just use the builtin name.

Actually i did not proof the latest version until today. Just want to make a suggestion:

Why don't you use the wonderful "Color"-icon for the .desktop file (menu entry)?

It would look much nicer than the actual icon and would completely fit to the application icon (would help also, to find the application in the menu - i think)!

Currently it uses mini-dog in the menu entry, which is certainly appropriate and probably included in most distros (I think). The use of the "color" icon on the title bar is somewhat arbitrary...I just liked the way it looked and wanted to make sure it always worked...thus included it in the package.

tip: Link a tray or desktop icon to "gnewpet" instead of "gnewpet-wrapper". When you need it for a relative directory, run the wrapper from the terminal after cd'ing to the correct directory.

You should use
Code:
<entry accept="directory">

for the file selector (wrapper used on relative path). Cool

That way, only directories can be selected (should be much better for the use with mounted sfs inside mounted iso). Cool

Only directories can be accepted the way it is now.

I have downloaded and made a quick test on the gnewpet 6.5. Works fine, now. Smile

Something to my last post: sorry, but maybe i could not make clear, what i meant. Sad

I will try it again. Cool

Line 32 in gnewpet-wrapper changing to
Code:
 <entry accept="directory" fs-folder="'$1'" fs-title="Select an existing folder" fs-action="folder">

will let select only directories. The mean part is: accept="directory". Very Happy

fs-action="folder" seems not to work. Attached pics will tell the rest.

OK!

I have examined that again.

Seems like your puppy has gtkdialog-0.8 (gtkdialog4) installed and gtkdialog is a symbolic link to gtkdialog4. Exclamation

LazY Puppy (and lucid 528) do have gktdialog-0.8 installed as well but, gtkdialog is a symbolic link to gtkdialog3. Exclamation

Using gtkdialog3 changing line 6 in gnewpet-wrapper to
Code:
GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog4

results in the same effect like changing line 32 in gnewpet-wrapper to
Code:
<entry accept="directory" fs-folder="'$1'" fs-title="Select an existing folder" fs-action="folder">

(using gtkdialog3)

EDIT: EDIT: EDIT:
accept="directory" works in gtkdialog3 & gtkdialog4
fs-action="folder" works only in gtkdialog4

Yes, I'm writing with updated gtkdialog, although it has limited backward compatibility. There are a lot of important revisions in gtkdialog, like file selection filters, etc. It takes under 10 seconds to update. I have no idea why anyone wouldn't include it in their distro.
