Here's an app by Geoffrey and myself to search the boot partition and list the save files so you can back one up, It gives a choice of save directory and appends the date to the end.

Edit: Added multiple file selection and save confirmation splash screen. Fixed canceling at "choose directory" window saves to root.

Edit2: Allows saves to the current directory or choose a location and a pulsating progress bar has been added.

Edit3: Fixed typo in .desktop file. Changed to version 1.0.1

Yet another app by Geoffrey and myself. UnPak-0.1, extract different types of packages all from one icon in the right click menu with the choice of current directory or choose a directory. Package types include: .deb, .pet, .rpm, .sfs, .pkg.tar.xz (arch), and .xzm (porteus).

The method of extracting rpm package is to use 'exploderpm'
It gives more consistent results as BarryK found out.

rg66 · Posted: Fri 29 Mar 2013, 06:40 Post subject: X-Con-0.1

X-Con is a combination of UnPak and a converter script. The end result is a right click app that lets you extract or convert packages.

Package types include: .deb, .pet, .rpm, .sfs, .pkg.tar.xz (arch), .xzm (porteus), .lzm (slax), and .txz (slackware). All supported package types can be converted to .pet or .sfs

Edit: More bug fixes. Changes to version 1.0.2

Edit2: Cleaned up the code

Updated X-Con to allow for editing directory before building pet or sfs. See above post.

X-Con-1.0 is released, we're calling it finished (for now).

A few bug fixes, enhancements, and it should unpack most rpm's now (hopefully). See original X-Con post above to download.

Pack-Ed-1.0, edit pet or sfs packages.

Created from X-Con, it extracts then rebuilds packages after editing all from the right click menu.

Edit: Added better exit function and an overwrite confirmation dialog, Version changed to 1.1

Here is mtpaint-3.44.13 that I compiled in Carolina,
the screenshot menu entry now runs a yad timer ui written by rg66,
so the delay of capture can be set by the user,
the setting for this is saved for the next time it's used.

Get it HERE

I made a special Audacity 1.3.9 pet package for Carolina lite,
but it also works for many other puppies.
It has a right click menu item.(see image)
It opens and saves mp3 wav ogg files etc.
