Alright, now I seem to have a new issue with fox. I can't seem to type into any entry dialog boxes in rezound or xfe. I guess I have to figure out why and re-compile.

Alright, I think I got it this time. How I compiled the fox package is shown at the beginning of the thread. Rezound & xfe seem to be working as expected now. I'm able to type into entry boxes just fine now. So once again, please re-download the fox & fox_dev packages from the beginning of this thread.

Thanks Mark. Hopefully that'll be the last time.

No prob.
I had to add so many bugfixes to Muppy, as I oversaw ... this ... and that ... Rolling Eyes

It is good, that you are so carefull.
Dingo is experimental, so it might be even more difficult to get things correct.
It is good to see, how the list of packages for it grows.
Though I will stay quite a long while with 3.01, as it gives access to the huge Slackware-repos.
But once Dingo is finished, I'll be glad if we have many pets Smile

I have always liked Xfe! But I have to admit, PathFinder is even faster. - Wow. It renders like gtk1.

Rezound is also very impressive.

Very Happy

Thanks

Firstly, thank-you for your evident hard work - I can't get used to ROX and XFE is vastly superior. One quick question though - is it possible to set XFE as the default FM? Oh and another thing, can I disable the root warning that pops up on launch?

cheers

P.S. Using Dingo Wink

To get rid of the root warning you can do this:

Edit > Preferences > Dialogs

untick the box that says "Warn if running as root"

Here's a dotpet that will make xfe the default file manager in Puppy.
It will overwrite the /usr/local/bin/rox script and move the original to /usr/local/bin/rox2. It also creates a new desktop file for rox which will execute rox2 instead. All the puppy scripts that use rox as a file manager should instead use xfe. Here is the script:

I've installed the above packages.

XFE will start, but is missing the title bar so I can't drag it around. It has no min/max/close buttons.

XFE from console gives this:

# xfe
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by xfe)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
xfe: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libFOX-1.6.so.0)
#

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 exists as a link to libstdc++.so.6.0.9 in the same directory.
/usr/libFOX-1.6.so exists as a link to libFOX-1.6.0.0.31 in the same directory.

Is this a problem or is my problem some place else?

Thanks.

While xfe is opened, right click on the xfe icon in the taskbar and click on Maximize. You will then see the xfe title bar, you can also resize xfe by choosing the Resize option.
