Sorry, it isn't.
It is in the Fotoxx SFS.
Fotoxx was the first Linux app that allowed me to view Panasonic RAW files. I haven't used it lately, because I'm able to install and run UFRAW and RAWstudio under Knoppix.
And, IIRC, Fotoxx is just an image viewer, without editing capabilities.
The particular appeal of UFRaw is that
:
1. it acts as a plug-in for GIMP, as well as functioning standalone (RAWstudio is standalone only, IIRC), and
2. UFRaw is also available as Windows freeware. I'm running it under Win2K as well.
So it would be a very worthwhile addition to your stable of sfs apps.

I know from forum members they use a symbolic link for browser data etc. like I do it for my media players. This should work for almost every application.
I wish I could understand the mechanism you're referring to, but I don't have a clue how to implement this tip...

On the forum there is PaDS, which combines pet and deb files into a single sfs file - also with right-click on the directory containing the pet and deb files.
Another intriguing tip the workings of which I can't comprehend. I know how to download deb and pet packages, place them in a common folder, and right click on a folder. But imaginig what the result would be is a blank.
I'll have a look for PaDS, and perhaps an explanation.
My LazY Puppy boot directory currently contains
307 SFS files. From these SFS files I have created
449 RunScripts for the
449 Programs included in these SFS files. So, not really limited.
I didn't mean to belittle your very commendable efforts. But no single person could hope to keep up with all of the Linux packages out there.
Consider the fact that there is (and has been for some years) only a single free RAW plug-in for GIMP, the most popular Linux photo editor by far, yet it isn't among your collection of sfs conversions. And there must be many more equally essential Linux apps out there that likely will never come to your attention because they don't happen to fall into your personal areas of interest.
There are even serious photographers, as I understand it, who don't use RAW format yet, and so would have no interest in RAWstudio or UFRaw. And most point and shoot cameras don't offer RAW format to the user at all.
Did you try SFS PLUS 2.0.5 (Forum Utilities)?
Not yet, but will try to get to it, thanks.
Thanks for the x-fprot-info.
You're welcome, and I hope you're able to convert it. BTW - please let me know also if you locate a deb package for it. I'd like to install it in Knoppix as well.
Fprot and Fsecure (its parent company) have gotten poor reviews in AV comparisons recently. However, x-fprot makes fprot easy to update and easy to use The biggest hassle is that you can't save the scan path, and have to browse to it every time you start the program. There's also a danger if you choose to "list all files scanned" and set it to scan your entire system. The resulting report can fill up a 2fs file and make it unusable.
OTOH, Fsecure updates the virus list fairly regularly, and xfprot allows you to update it without the user of a browser.
I don't know much about ClamAV, but I'd be interested in trying an sfs version of that too, given that it appears to be the only other free Virus scanner for Linux.
