Re: espeak in .pet package
If I had seen the pet was already out there I wouldn't have done another onemcewanw wrote:Puppy user "muggins" has been creating and updating dotpets of espeak for some years now.

Your dotpet is significantly larger in size than muggin's one, so I'm wondering if you remembered to strip the binaries?
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 filetrio wrote:feedback anybody?
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.

Added - convert a dotpet to sfs function
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.
Thanks for this very helpful program....
Updated to v 09 - Added - Convert sfs to pet function, Bugfix (check valid sfs/pet filename) edit: Thanks also seaside who reported the same bug
See main post....
If there's no bugfix and/or inputs/new fucntions, this will be the final version
Regards,
Trio

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?

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
