I see that you have also installed the proper icons for the MIME types (not included in my .pet)

batch renaming is not enable either, but I bet it could be hacked with an appropriate symylink to puppy's batch renamer depending on how Thunar sends the signal

Hi technosaurus

I downloaded you pet and found that it would not open with openwith command because it was missing some files. I made a pet and if you do not mind I will post it here. What I added was desktop-file-utils and tbd-tools.

has anyone gotten this to work with lucid puppy? I get a "cannot find %F" or something similar when I try to use it...

Yes it works just edit the desktop file in usr/share/applications. and remove the %F from the end of the execute statement.

Enjoy

Thanks so much for the pet Pri. I already had the Neu-blue theme, which I ported from Quirky NOP (you have excellent taste by the way ' Wink

' ). I just couldn't figure out how to get Thunar to show the icons. Your pet works great. I've been wanting to use Thunar outside of Xfce Window Manager for a while...not that Xfce is bad; I just like to switch up my window managers for a change of scenery. ROX-Filer is not bad..but I wish it had a copy-and-paste function, instead of just drag-and-drop.

Also, I happened to notice that there's a new Thunar pet in the ibiblio repos for Wary. Coincidence?! Thanks again for the pet.

Ha ha, yes, I did mean to post here about that Thunar in the Wary repo, see my blog post:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02224

It is the same binaries as technosaurus compiled. Note that it works with nice icons, doesn't need any extra icon-set as it shares the ROX-Filer and other icons already in Puppy.

Feedback in my blog though is that it crashes when try to display thumbnail of a jpg in Wary, so it is going to have to be recompiled for Wary. Should work fine in Lucid.

Goes into puppeee4.4rc2. How do i make it default. So that clicking the desktop partition icons open in, and opera uses, thunar and not rox? Long passed puppy called ripple had thunar.

hmm will be good if there is thunar that can use rox icons Smile

Thanks for making this available. I'm using the PET package from Barry, and it's working fine in both Lucid 5.20 and 5.25.
