This is where you post about usability issues (not bugs) in pre-release versions of Puppy 4.x (alphas, betas, rcs). Usability issues are things like poor contrast in the themes, non-ergonomic button layouts, unintuitive application behavior, etc.

I went through the first 3 menu options in 4.2.1 to say something
about the ones I use most and find useful and if they work
May do more later

What programs in Puppy are consistently good - just work - you make use of?

wallpaper setter - Oh I want the built in preview option as standard
set global font size - often use this for clarity - no problems ever
JWM configuration - yes I often use that - it works well

gparted - outstanding (for such a dangerous facility) we also have a couple of command line formatters which I no longer have to use
bootmanager - often use to swap in and out SFS - no probs - would like more SFS swapping (available seperately)
Puppy event manager - turn off hot plugging? NEVER - so never use it personally
Puppy control panel - never really use this - but it is simple and I will in the future (it is rather new)
Puppy package manager - I do use but tend to search for the latest pet on the forum
Puppy Setup - this needs to merge with the control panel maybe - usually the first program I run - I run the firewall and connection to the internet, in a few seconds
Puppy Universal Installer - Use this a lot - sometimes get confused which is a USB thumbdrive - very useful program
Puppy Raspup 8.2Final 8)
