Puppy user "muggins" has been creating and updating dotpets of espeak for some years now. You'll find it here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 55&t=25046

Your dotpet is significantly larger in size than muggin's one, so I'm wondering if you remembered to strip the binaries?
If I had seen the pet was already out there I wouldn't have done another one :shock:
you're right I didn't strip the binaries. I just compiled in the easiest possible way, which is not the most economical in terms of memory usage.

anyway, trio's idea of a .pet/sfs maker is very interesting. in this way puppy is going to be easier to use day by day.

Given that the "standard" puppy only allows 3 sfs files to be loaded in, it would be nice to be able to convert an sfs file to a pet file

By doing that, one could easily uninstall the pet version, thus offering the flexability that the puppy derivatives with large number of sfs files offer.

I like full hard drive installs and need a devx_xxx.pet rather than .sfs. Can your program be used to convert the devx_sfs to a runnable .pet.
Thanks

Firefox,

No, it,s not for installing sfs to puppy full hd install, and I don't intend to do such with pet_maker. But, someone already did it (dejan555 ?), try google "installsfs puppy linux full"

Regards,

Trio

Trio,

I just tried out your handy tool and liked it much better than doing it by hand. :)

There are some problems with the new "dotpet to sfs" conversion part.

Some pet files are found invalid -

I tried this file "gimp-2.4.0-rc3.pet" and it returned "not valid pet file". If I renamed it "gimp.pet" it processed but did not make an sfs and instead created a directory tree.

Pet_Maker-08.pet converted very nicely to an sfs. :D :D

Thanks for this very helpful program....

Hey Bro

Very nice work!

Small thing, now that petmaker jumps straight to a made pet I didn't see how I can add a mini-icon for my menu entry... or am I being thick again? :lol:

Cheers

edit: menu entry for new pet you make? Ok, u make a new /usr/share/applications/xxx.desktop file, and put in the "pet to be" directory...and you got yourself a menu entry

Anybody who already tested all the functions of version 1.0 ,please report if all functions are working correctly. I was too tired when I post it, worry if something is sill wrong. It's hard to test by myself

Thank you

Hi trio, I have been trying to convert sfs to pet using the latest v1.1, but do not seem to be having any luck. It gets to the window that says working and please wait for window to close and that is where it stays. I left it for 45 mins with no change, I also tried 3 different sfs files. They are all quite large, would that make any difference, and does the version of puppy that is being used matter?

Cheers

Jason

Sorry, u r right, problem with sfs2pet function, in my system sometimes it can, sometimes can't. Will fix later. Size doesn't matter, but not recomended for slow system. Puppy version as lonmg as it,s 4 series with rox file manager won't matter,think.

I'll try to fix later today, thanks
