I also liked the older version better where you used to see a thumbnail along the right column in series 3

Hi

Menu/internet/icon for Opera10.sfs works (shows) in IceWm

BUT no icon in JWM (at least not when Opera10.sfs is loaded)
Didn't try Opera10.pet

The Opera browser works very well in both window managers.
As does Seamonkey 1.1.14 - very slick in both WM's.

Especially since I'm using a ram challenged laptop
(91mb ram & 1ghz celeron proc.)

I prefer JWM at present because it has a battery indicator in the tray.
Very usefull when using the EeePc 701SD.

However the tray autohide feature seems to be disabled at present.
Tried usual menu/desktop/JWM conf/ but not working.

Again very useful with EeePC - as was the battery low warning
(both audio & visual) in Raffy's Breeezy.

Very nicely done - alerted one in good time before a total battery
failure. Could we include similar in 4.2ce - That would be brilliant.

As always - very best regards - Ray

Ok guys what I did was bad, LOL I downloaded the puppy wallpaper setter from series 3, it wouldn't work because its a compiled bin and used gtk1 soooooo, 'Heres the bad part' I made system links to new newer gtk2 libs, just 4 of them and named them gtk1 names and it worked, it sets the backgrounds just fine, If we could get the sources for the puppy wallpaper setter from series 3, we could recompile them to use GTK2 files. Since I didn't add any older gtk1 files. here's a pet of it. we could also make it a bit smaller using system links to system images

4.2 alpha4 multisession DVD failed to save session.

This happened to me last night when I shut my 4.2 alpha4 multisession DVD down for the second time. I haven't had time to do more experimenting.

I had switched from JWM to IceWM and used Puppy that way all day. When I chose Power-off computer from the Shutdown menu, the screen instantly went blank and nothing else happened, when it should have asked if I wanted to save the session, etc.. All my configuring was lost, as I had to shut off the power.

This multisession DVD was burned from 4.2 alpha3 using Burniso2cd. The first shutdown, which created a multisession DVD, was done with the newly burned 4.2 alpha4 DVD in the drive, but 4.2 alpha3 running. That shutdown did what it was supposed to do, namely, save the settings from 4.2 alpha3 running in RAM to the first session of the 4.2 alpha4 DVD in the drive. Everything I'd added to 4.2 alpha3 was there as it should have been when the 4.2 alpha4 DVD was next booted.

If I'm right, pwidgets needs the wallpaper setter from mu.

I confess to having had some shutdown issues with earlier alphas after changing windowmanager. I haven't done enough to tie the problem down properly, it may be nothing to do with the WM switch.

Tom, you are correct
Currently the wallpaper switcher is set to call fixwidgets. TTuuxxx have you tried it with pwidgets running.

Bonjour,

About new Rox-Filer. No localization possible : No available languages.
Can't connect with Auto DHCP. Obliged to go through setup static IP. First time since 2 years on the same PC.

background setter
Sometime the simplest solutions are the best. The existing background setter requires the full path to defaultimageviewer or any other image viewer that it does not offer to you. If you use the filer browse button and navigate to select the correct program it works fine. It does have a function where it is supposed to offer you a choice of programs that you have. Probably needs a minor bug fix and a bump to 0.5.2. I will do this inside the next couple of days unless someone else picks it up

[aragon]

first testing-result:

- wallpapersetter does not work. to fix change defaulimageviewer to gpicview AND delete /root/.config/wallpaper
- fpm2 is the old version new: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=271518#271518
- gadmin-rsync is the old version new: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=271518#271518
- ldconfig is missing (and entry /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf)
- geany-deskicon is 'wrong' it's not a sticky-app
- show-desktop should be in the lower tray of jwm
- mhwaveedit is not the fixed version. fixed one is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=271518#271518
- mime-type audio_mpeg should be opened with defaultmusicplayer
- on bootup the line where you add your boot-parameters (live-cd) is hard to read (dark blue)
- rox menu-icon is missing
- shouldn't the rxvt scrollbar be at the right side?
- mtpaint-snapshot: better use dejans advanced version: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38165
- /root/my-applications has to be cleaned up
- do we need pplog?
- do we need gfontsel and xfontsel?
- do we need prename and gfrename?

- a script that cleans up the drive-icons on shutdown would be helpful if you use puppy as a portable os. it would also prevent issues on remastering... I think there is one in this thread

Pmount
-----------
ttuuxxx is not the only, who has problems.
- rox menu-icon is missing. pmount itself uses the same icon to open a mounted drive.
- i can't mount my usb-drive. crash, no console output to specify why.
- i can't umount a usb-thumbdrive i was able to mount. crash, no console output to specify why.

Some scrying on the cause: Rox

@ WhoDo
one question on the feature-freeze: do you accept updated packages of included apps/libs? (e.g mtr is at 0.72 while we actually have 0.75.)

Puppybackgroundsetter should include:
/usr/local/Puppybackground/resource/source.tgz
Extract it.
Edit source/list-source/compile-gtk2 like this:

Could the localizations be added to 4.2?

Here I have connection wizard, the rest of the network setup ing, is still to come.

Remember, that for it to work, you must place the mo file in the locales directory.
