Yeah, my website randomly disappeared for some reason. Been distracted the last couple days and didn't notice until tonight. Just sent in a support ticket to find out wtf happened.

Hi there

Is the pet file still available?

I have checked the link in the 1st post and on the wikki and it gives me a file:

editsfs-2.1.man (?) 8kb

should this not be a *.pet file?

Thanks in advance!

Very Happy Hello,
LOL, the screen shot helped a lot..
You are using Windows to D/L it, and Windoze dont see no .pet files..
I believe that whatever Winblows calls it, D/L it, and reboot to Puppy, it should show up as a .pet..
But really, I recommend D/Ling it in Puppy...
If it wont D/L try renaming it .zip first... Wink
Whatever it takes to D/L is, after you reboot to Puppy, rename it to *.pet first to install it in Puppy..

I'm not sure if this is what Puppyluvr is saying or not!

Windows may not recognise .pet files and think they are something else. In your case it seems to think it is a .man file.

Just download it and it will be called edit_sfs-2.1.man.

It will still be called edit_sfs-2.1.man in Puppy.

Start Puppy and rename the file to edit_sfs-2.1.pet.

Click to load the pet.

Alternatively download it with Puppy and it will be downloaded with the correct name.

Very usefull tool! However, when it recompresses the sfs file is quite a bit larger than the original. The sfs file's I want to edit are compressed with xz, does this app only use gz and if so can it be changed to use xz?

    Go to: /root/my-roxapps/
    Right-click on the icon called: Edit-SFS
    Select: Look Inside
    Now right-click on the file called: AppRun
    Select: Open As Text

    At line 223
    you should find the following line:
    Code:
    echo -e "#!/bin/sh\n'$MKSQUASHFS' '$TREE' '$TREE_BASE/$SFSFILE'" > "${TREE_BASE}/script"


    Change it to look like this:
    Code:
    echo -e "#!/bin/sh\n'$MKSQUASHFS' '$TREE' '$TREE_BASE/$SFSFILE' -comp xz" > "${TREE_BASE}/script"


The above details were originally found here.

Hope this helps
CatDude

Thanks CatDude! I was close, I had -comp xz on the right line but in the wrong place. Just tested and it's working great.

Ok, I wanted to have the option of choosing compression type. I took some of the code from an SFS builder script and modified this one to give xz or gz options.

It does work, but since I'm a newbie at this could someone who knows what they're doing give me the proper code? This seems a bit redundant. Also, this script uses X-dialog which I couldn't get to work.
Code:

#Use mksquashfs to put it back together
yad --title "Choose Compression Type" --button=XZ:0 --button=GZIP:1 --text "Choose which algorthim to compress the sfs with.
Chosing XZ here will give you a smaller iso but
may be slower than GZIP on very lowspec machines."
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
    rox -D "$TREE"
    echo -e "#!/bin/sh\n'$MKSQUASHFS' '$TREE' '$TREE_BASE/$SFSFILE' -comp xz" > "${TREE_BASE}/script"
    chmod +x "${TREE_BASE}/script"
    rxvt -geometry 80x4 -e "${TREE_BASE}/script"
    rm "${TREE_BASE}/script"
    sync
elif [ $? = 1 ] ; then
     rox -D "$TREE"
     echo -e "#!/bin/sh\n'$MKSQUASHFS' '$TREE' '$TREE_BASE/$SFSFILE'" > "${TREE_BASE}/script"
     chmod +x "${TREE_BASE}/script"
     rxvt -geometry 80x4 -e "${TREE_BASE}/script"
     rm "${TREE_BASE}/script"
     sync
fi

You can do this manually.

1. unsquashfs old.sfs
2. modify the folder squashfs-root
3. mksquashfs squashfs-root new.sfs

Then, to remove squashfs-root folder:
Code:
rm -r  squashfs-root

(This method works best for larger edits.)

Edit_SFS : the most useful tools ? I can make the ISO as I like, SFS to, adding or removing stuff. Nice. Very nice Razz

Hi
I often use edit-sfs. I recently tried to delete some files out of a large SFS-file (>100 MB). To my astonishment the resulting file was significant larger than the original one despite the deletion (+10%). The reason were the not optimized compression parameters for mksquashfs inside edit-sfs. Therefor I added the command line parameters according to:
http://techoverflow.net/blog/2013/01/11/create-highly-compressed-squashfs-from-folder/.
This modification might be helpful for you too.

Thank you Hesse James.

Is it possible to choose the compression?

Regards
