Hello all.

It starts here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... ost#921816

I left it in that thread because I believe in continuity. Although theoretically
it should go here, in this section, according to some.

Keeping it in that thread may not be ideal, but there you have the
advantage of seeing the evolution of the script and how forum members
responded to the idea. And obviously I couldn't import their comments on
this thread.

Sorry if this decision offends anyone. Try to enjoy! I hope that you will find
that new, designed-for-Puppy, MRUF/MRUD script useful.

Just seems posting the pet here would be a good idea

If the pet package changes, you can easily update the first post with the new version.

Someone accesses this topic and the pet package is in the first posting. Easy to find and get the latest version.

Hi!

Variant:
Someone accesses the other topic and the pet package is in the last
posting. Easy to find and get the latest version.

Now at version 0.9. Enjoy!

When you make a post like this could you please tell people what acronyms like MRUF/MRUD mean?
Thanks.

Hello disciple.

MRUD=Most Recently Used Directories, according to The Free Dictionary.
"Most Recently Used Documents", by extension.

The expression Most Recently Used Files or "MRUF" for short, is frequently
heard in the WhineDose world, but not unheard of in the Linux world.

JHTH. BFN.

Hello, all.

After quite a few months, please find below the latest version my MRUF-lst
menu, version 0.9.6. This is for 32-bit Puppies.

This version has the major change of using when menu construction starts to speed things up. This change brings down
menu construction time to +/- 5.5 seconds while it was over 30 seconds.

It would be 3,77 seconds were it not for the splash info that has to stay on
screen for 5 seconds to be read properly. Human perception limits things.

LC_ALL is restored before the menu is displayed, so there is no
interference with language settings for the menu AFAIK.

Before using it as a menu, may I suggest that you open a console in
/usr/local/bin and typeand read the info presented.

The design has not changed so I'm not including any captures.

Constructive feedback welcome.

BFN.

Hello again, people!

Another one!
Version 0.9.7 of this history menu now incorporates the listing of

-- the last 10 packages that you installed through PPM
AND
-- the last 10 files that you saved in your "My-Documents" directory.

Also, the opening splash screen now uses vovchik's script for bcm
instead of yaf-splash.

Make no mistake, once you get the knack of it, this menu is a
tremendous time saver!

I hope you like it.

BFN.

I haven't tested but this looks very nicely done.

I have something similar in terminal but yours is much nicer.

Thanks Musher0

My pleasure, slavvo67.

Looks like it's not working on 64bit RU Xerus64. It's 32bit only, I'm guessing?

Yep.

It says so, previous page, 3rd post from bottom, 1st paragraph, here !

vovchik provided the support executables for a 64-bit version last Fall, but a
test on dryfalls' 64-bit "Just Lighthouse" was iffy. I haven't touched that
version since then.

Sorry...

Hello again.

As a reminder, here are the history files this "Recents" script searches
and lists: (Edited July 6 2017)

General:
the recently-used.xbel file at /root/.local/share (with related directories)

Browsers, if installed:
mozilla browser with internal sqlite db (FF, SM, etc.)
links2
Chromium
Vivaldi

Mainstream Apps:
gmplayer (if installed)
geany (with related directories)
mtpaint (with related directories)

DB:
separate sqlitemanager program (if installed)

Personal:
last 10 documents you saved in /root/my-documents

Your Puppy:
last 10 packages you installed with petget

System logs:
/tmp/xerrs.log
/root/.bash-history
/root/.lesshst (history file of the real less from Greenwood Software)
/var/log/Xorg?.log

I hope this clarifies things for those who asked.

~~~~~~~~
Also, if you feel it would be useful to add to this "Recents" list others apps
that have a history file, please let me know. I'll try to oblige. TIA.

Hello all.

Here is MRUF-lst version 0.9.7.5

This version
-- uses a new horizontal design. It's easier for the eye to follow lines than
to follow columns, IMO.

-- adds a separate sub-menu for the bash scripts in the xbel section. (For
SAFETY, scripts load in geany. You can run them from there is you wish.)

-- you can move the menu on screen from within the menu if you click
on any thin line

-- internally, added extra variables to enable the above.

-- new desktop file and new wrapper script to enable the following feature:

-- the script now starts with the GTK2 theme of your choice -- independent
of your main global GTK2 theme -- when defined in a config file such as
/root/.aewm/ae/aepanel-custom.gtkrc.

The config file that's provided includes some commented-out GTK2 theme
examples. If you don't have them or you don't like them, there are
thousands of GTK2 themes to choose from at:
https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/136/ord/latest

Enjoy.
