I'm dissapointed that you haven't maintained the attachments for previous versions. Do you have copies of them available somewhere else?

I've deleted a lot of my previous work, ... but tell me
what Puppy version you use and maybe I can make a new version.

Wary multilingual for instance should be upgraded
by me...

If you spot any bugs just tell me.

new version 5.2.3

#33 Post by don570 »

new version 5.2.3


very minor changes. Hardly worth the upgrade.
I've spent the weekend on making a Squeeze version.


For people who want to
experiment with the latest kernel
try Squeeze Puppy . I've made a special
version of Right click just for it.

right click version 524

#34 Post by don570 »

Changed two things

1) wav to mp3 conversion -- both single file and folder

2) scripts are treated different. They shouldn't be edited with Abiword
so I substituted nicoedit

Just click to install

I added a new feature ... conversion of wav to mp3.

Both an entire folder and a single file.

open with "sfs load on the fly" ?

#35 Post by nancy reagan »

Hi Don,

Great app, but what I do not see is "open with "sfs (un-)load on the fly"".

Could you tell me -being a very low-profile wannabee user- how to do this ?

Sfs load on the fly pet installs sfs_load right click itself.

Then the sfs_load right click has been removed from it. Install the sfs load on the fly pet or extract it and copy only the right click stuff.

I modified the Extract-txz script written by Nathan Fisher and Tazoc

It now will open a .tar.xz archive. This format will become more
popular when people realize that it compresses much better that gzip
and it has about the same speed as gzip.

There is a lot of confusion about this script.
I just read on the Exprimo page that 'pemasu' has hacked it
as well :lol: All I know for sure is that I first saw it
in the Lighthouse 4.43 distribution by Tazoc over a year ago.
The script that I am using now originated in Lighthouse 503.
The script says clearly that it is written by Nathan Fisher,
But for some strange reason it only extract files
with the extension .txz which is a rare extension, so I
just ignored it till now. Now I realize my mistake, and
Barry Kauler has xz util builtin to recent versions of Wary!!

So the .tar.xz method of compression should become
more popular now.

To test if it is working correctly, go to a website that
distributes files using this extension
http://tukaani.org/xz/
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/

Download a file and right click it.

___________________________________________

BTW pemasu put his version in /usr/bin/Extract-txz
which has precedence over the 'correct' place to put
it namely /usr/local/bin/Extract-txz

This caused me a lot of confusion ---> I thought
my version wasn't working correctly!! But it just
turned out that pemasu's version was the one
that was recognized by the operating system.
I suggest using 'pfind' to see if the script has been installed
previously.

No, I tried that and found that it was very quirky.
Files just wouldn't tar correctly. I don't know
why that is. I'm not a programmer.

Frankly, just memorizing the command 'dir2pet' isn't too hard :lol:

________________________________________

I mentioned this to Billtoo on another thread.

When you make a pet package that has several applications
inside, it will therefore have several corresponding desktop
files inside.

To make a pet package in this situation is easy if you
know this trick.

Here it is....
Remove all but one desktop file from your folder and proceed
with the regular 'dir2pet' routine.

Then near end of routine, return the desktop files
that you have removed back to their original place.

Then finish the tarring. .... and a final pet is created
that can have several apps inside.


That's how I have been making this Right click pet in recent months.
Apparently not many people know this method.

new version of Right click 526

Lots of new changes under the hood.
Here are the hilites.

1) newest Bacon recorder 233 allows white space in output
name

2) mp3 sound files are converted easily to wave files

3) compatibility to either Nicoedit or leafpad as texteditor

4) bz2 file format is now handled nicely

5) upgrade to zathura_gui 1.9 which can deal with
whitespace in file names

6) Scottman's script txz2pet is now included and txz files
have a right click menu

7) backup_pupsave is now included. This allows your
pupsave file to be backed up each night automatically.

version 5.2.7

#48 Post by don570 »

version 5.2.7 - a small upgrade

I tried out newest Wary and decided some
changes are needed to my pet package,
especially how Nicoedit and leafpad are handled.

Also a .patch file now has a right click option

I'll add it in if it works in Wary and Lucid.
