Flash,

Please feel to move this thread in a more appropriate section. I would have
posted it in the DataBase section, but we don't have one?

TIA.

Hello all.

In DPupStretch7 at least, Puppy does not offer a MIME-type for sqlite3.
Maybe your Pup doesn't have it either?

So you're sort of "stuck up the proverbial creek without a paddle" if you
wish to open a sqlite3 DB from xdg-open or the ROX-filer.

This little pet tries to solve this inconvenience. Please note that, ATM, it
will work only if you've installed the Mozilla Sqlite Manager plug-in from
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... te-manager
in a Mozilla browser (Light, SeaMonkey, FireFox, and the like).

The irony of it is that this Mozilla sqlite3 plugin will open any sqlite3
history file, even one from another web browser.

If someone knows how to associate this MIME-type with the sqlite3 CLI
executable that some Puppies have in /usr/bin -- or a sqlite windowed
utility -- , please ring in! (Essentially to remove the irony! )

The attached pet also contains BarryK's hard-to-find launcher for the
Mozilla Sqlite Manager plug-in. Mutatis mutandis, his script can be used
to launch other major Mozilla plugins directly.

Constructive comments welcome, as usual.

Enjoy!

Great stuff!

I hunted around, found that the developer of sqlite-manager is now on github:
https://github.com/lazierthanthou/sqlite-manager

And frontpage:
http://lazierthanthou.github.io/sqlite-manager/

It has commits only 25 days ago.

I'm thinking of making it into a pet, for inclusion in next Quirky.

Thanks, BarryK.

Please do as you please! Half of it is already your stuff, recycled!

BFN.
