hey techno, now i am on quirky.

application icon not work.
refresh not work, so if i made some folder, wont come out
trash can not work too

fixed desktop entry to work with jwm

I'm not sure what creates trash:/// computer:/// network:/// and menu://applications - maybe they require gvfs (gnome virtual file system)?

my be you must insert a folder to it like this one :
trash:///root/trash and computer:///root menu://usr/share/appcilations

but i dont know.

and the old pcmanfm-0.5.2 when i am using on quirky can copied a symlink now

yes they do, i read it somewhere - that the trash feature (at least) was re-introduced and requires gvfs... I hope this works well, I like the look of it... since which version does it require gtk 2.18? I am trying to find the latest version that would compile nicely in pup4...

this version was forked as spacefm

Other than the gtkversion patch, I also modified gtk's pkgconfig file to say that it was v2.24.0 ... Its a hack but it worked and spacefm appears to be a drastic improvement over its base with much more than most other fms and fairly light on resources.

is it supposed to be red at the top? (menu backgrounds?)

There is a setting (somewhere?) to turn that off... It is intended to indicate that you are running as root.

aah yes, "show root user indicator" .. EDIT: oh nice, it automatically unpacks archives.. would it be possible to fix the missing icons for certain filetypes with symlinks?

I haven't figured that one out yet ... also the drive mounting capability uses udisks which I currently know zero about

Hey, that Spacefm isn't too shabby.

It isn't XFE or Konqueror, but it's better than the PCManfms and EMELfms and other garbage.

And it actually retains a 2-pane layout.

I could maybe even use it without tearing my hair out, if I was forced to.

(that's a glowing review, BTW).

It _can_, but it can also be configured to emulate ROX-Filer and all kinds of weird configurations

I actually like the default drag operation to be move, but memories of my IT days come back to haunt me (about once a week I had to fix some Art department professor's Mac because they dragged something) ... btw, to copy you just right click copy and right click paste

Hello !

I tried to compile the latest version of PCManFM, version 0.9.10 !
It is compiled with the Puppy Racy 4.2.2.7 !
If you want, you can get packages here on the French forum : http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... a9769721fc
I have already compiled it with gvfs, to get "Computer, Applications, and Trash", but I lost packages
Do you know how to get internal hard drives in the "Computer" directory please ? I learned that we need Udisks, but I have some issues with the compilation... If I remember correctly, the problem was Udev version.
Puppy Udev's version is too old ( v167 ), and we need a version >= 170, it seems.

Cordially

I have 4.2.1 running on one of my computers and decided to look for an alternative file manager. I have PCManFM running on Debian on another computer and found threads here about this and another pet.

Unfortunately, when I installed the spacefm pet, clicking on the menu item for spacefm doesn't do anything and running from the console gives me an symbol lookup error -

undefined symbol: g_malloc0_n.

When I first installed the program, it gave an error about lacking glibc_2.7. This vanished after I installed a glibc_2.10 pet that another thread referred people to (that pet is located on sourceforge).

Is 4.2.1 not equipped to run this pet or program? Do I have to install glib > 2.22.0 and gtk > 2.18.0?

I have installed the gtkversion patch and modified the gtk version to 2.24.0 in the pkgconfig file, without change.

I also changed the spacefm.desktop file by eliminating the %F and also changed them from terminal=false to terminal=true.

I haven't installed the PCMANFM pet itself - was that supposed to be installed before the spaceFM pet??

Using on CheckMate Puppy -- WOW! Thanks.

PCManFM SpaceFM vive Rox-filer
I will let you PCmanFM SpaceFM and other Thunar, these file managers are complicated. They must be used to appreciate Rox-filer.
It's only my first try of spaceFM. Anyway, default installed PCManFM bores me
Viva Rox-filer !
However, i want to believe SpaceFM is a wonderful tool.
I don't see the titles bar, i changed the gtk theme, unsuccessful.
Any solution ?

If you find it necessary to revive a 2 year old thread you may as well read it first. Your question was answered in sc0ttman's post, 7th post before yours.

For us, translating 4 pages of english text is not a sinécure.
un article vieux de 2 ans, oui mais m^eme vieux de 2 jours,
"two years old" get a topic unusable. so destroy all older topics !
SpaceFM is too old to be used in 2014, that is what i understand. Ok abandonné. go to the frenchy forum SpaceFM ici

2 years old (but sucessfull again) . We would like english speaking people undestand the difference between 'reading 7 pages' and 'translating 7 pages'
