Ok guys this is really getting extened, Pizzagood: Glipper is a program, not a human, you can't abuse a prorgram by calling it names 
Disciple: when glipper doesn't post the last thing I select, its because its not working properly, the nexttime I'm using I'll write down what I'm doing and you can try it, its not that I didn't try the middle button, or ctr+V or shift+insert keys, Usually I try all 3 when its not pasting, first copy then try the first command, then copy again and try the second, and copy it again and try the third. I haven't been using glipper since I found Parcellite about 1.5 weeks ago and I haven't been disapointed yet, Plus i'm not using the autocutsel package either, it just works very nicely. ttuuxx _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games

Yes, well I never could figure out why you thought you needed autocutsel
I wasn't that concerned about you abusing a program, just about you continually repeating inaccurate and misdirected complaints/arguments/whatever. e.g. because your complaint about having to turn glipper on has nothing to do with glipper itself, it will apply equally to parcellite. Whoever makes Puppy will have to decide whether to turn parcellite on by default (Barry would turn it off for the sake of people with older PCs, and you would still complain, or someone else might turn it on by default, and other people will complain, because parcellite uses just as much ram as glipper). FWIW glipper is smaller and I prefer the way it displays the list for some reason, but I'd personally be happy with either of them.[/i] _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

@Aitch, I agree, internationalization is an important matter for puppy. I think that internaliozations are available in other distros and puppy should not be left behind. I don't know if it is important for puppy itself, but it is very important for a few blokes that need puppy in their languaje in order to learn linux/computing. I can think of a puppylinux.org website that offers translation to many languajes in form of .pets! How nice would that be! One click to have your whole OS translated
Cheers., droope |

What a great Idea - any takers? Lobster, maybe, can publicise it, in his inimitable style ?

Passing it with grub isn't an issue because it wouldn't appear if you use grub. Right now it only appears when using Isolinux, which means only from CD. What I'm proposing is to add it to installations using syslinux and extlinux, which means USB drives. Isolinux and extlinux are just alternate versions of the syslinux boot loader, so this is simple to do. Grub itself is a boot loader, so you would use one or the other, not both. But if you use USB and thus would be affected by this, you can disable it by just editing the syslinux.conf file, which is where this would be defined (analogous to the isolinux.cfg file on the CD, and similar to menu.lst in grub). As for what it shows, here is the text from 4.1.1(minus the coloring):
Wouldn't you be perturbed if somebody started calling Puppy stupid because of something I did in Pizzapup? _________________ Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib  |

"Puppy en español" for Aitch
Link Thread ¿How about a wiki page to get started? I'll contact a guy who is making a greek linux, and see if he would do a .pet file with all his translations. |

right clicking on a file and selecting "Customise Menu.." this opens a window of the registered handlers for this file type now right click on the file and select "Set Run Action..." this pops up a box including a drop zone for the new default handler now drag one of the registered handlers to the default handler drop zone BTW the config switch to ensure that the file menu is shown in the top level after a right click is in /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Options and the relevant line is <Option name="menu_quick">1</Option> The existing geany pet has this option set to 0. I personally think it would add something to puppy's usability if the pet was repackaged with this option turned on. _________________ Will contribute: community website, screenshots, puplets, wiki, rss |

Hi guys I've had an issue with puppy and tar.bz2 files for sometime, XArchive is really slow with the extraction of these files when they are large, like firefox sources can take a heck of a long time to open. So I went on a hunt to find a solution, I found that in a command line if you typed tar yxf filename.tar.bz2 it will start extracting immediately and finished within seconds not like 5-10mins. So this brings me to the idea maybe its time to build a script for extraction these files or change compression programs, I don't know, but the way it sits with tar.bz2 files, it looks like a very popular format.. Well Its an idea anyways, here's some helpful command lines I found
To uncompress the files (or to get the files out of a tarball), you can use the following commands: tar xvf filename.tar If the tarball has also been gzipped (compressed), you can use the following command: tar xvfz filename.tar.gz If you only want certain directories from the tarball, do this: tar xvzf filename.tar.gz */dir.you.want/* If you have a .tar.bz2 file, then you need bzip2 installed (/usr/ports/archivers/bzip2), and you issue this command: tar yxf filename.tar.bz2 ttuuxxx Oh by the way I just used the timer stop watch and it was 16 mins and still going to open the Firefox sources which is 35MB tar.bz2 with XArchive and 132MB extracted, but like I said doing it via command line was instant to build the directory and around 10 seconds finished extraction. also Peazip is very fast also, not as fast as command line, but under a minute. Too bad its so large, but the developer is puppy friendly maybe he could work something out? or maybe one of our skilled developers might have a play with this issue. ttuuxxx _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games

Try 7zip for linux, ttuuxxx http://www.7-zip.org/download.html It's very quick in windoze, and launches by rt clicking on a zipped file Be interested in a speed comparison as above

I've used 7Zip in windows, but the default 7zip for linux is command line, I'm looking for a gui, Plus i found a Gui for 7zip but it needed Python stuff, so thats still a no go. ttuuxxx _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games

What about Peazip? I seem to remember it being a bit larger, but it's my archiver of choice when I have to work on Windows machines. _________________ Be brave that God may help thee, speak the truth even if it leads to death, and safeguard the helpless. - A knight's oath |
