A ROX-Filer That Can Retrace Its Steps

#1 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

i don't know how patching works, how to do it, or if it needs to be done separately for each variety of puppy, but it seems like a beneficial feature that all puppies should have.
Window History

This adds a per-window history of directories visited. Click on the up button while the control key is pressed to activate. Useful when navigating symbolic links.

Also added are two menu entries for opening the previous directory (so you can bind keys to them).
from http://www.kerofin.demon.co.uk/rox/patch/#history-2.0.0


thanks.

(though useful in its own right, rox's recently visited list is an inferior way to go about this.)

Nice find Puppus Dogfellow
To apply these patches get the 2.0.0 release from the ROX site and:

Code: Select all

tar xzf rox-2.0.0.tgz
  cd rox-2.0.0
  patch -p1 < patchfile
This method seems to be applied to the source.
Any one knows how to apply to pre-installed app.

Thanks.
