Thanks radky and sc0ttman.

PupSnap 1.61. does all I have been missing. It is now a useful and convenient tool.

Acidentially, I took this snapshot for you sc0ttman.

It shows an error message when copying a file to a NTFS partition. The file is actually copied alright, but this error message appears, nevertheless.

If it helps you any, this exact same error message came up in spup 121. 01micko seems to have corrected it, because Slacko doesn't show this anymore.

And entirely OT: The words "Knapp" and "Neuere" make no sense at all. This is German alright, but I have no clue, what it could mean here.
I'll see if I find a Puppy on my setup without German localisation and check what it says in English.

OMG

the English version of that window doesn't make much sense to me either.

Just forget it, it's not an Akita issue, it just shows the limits of my brain. Laughing

Wvdial is used by pupdial. I use pupdial to connect via 3G-modem or mobile phone. PGPRS could be used for mobile phone and pppd scripts for 3G-modem but pupdial is also useful.

@ sc0ttman and L18L:

Okay the fog is clearing somewhat.

Quiet or "Still" in German means that a directory is copied without intermediate messages for each file. That I knew.

Newer and Neuere makes sense when the newer version of a file is supposed to be copied over the older one as a default. Learned that.

But "brief" and "knapper"? It does the same when copying files as "quiet" does. But I found this in the ROX manual:

I compiled mtpaint so it doesn't use jasper.
I tested it and it works on akita.
I'll post it tomorrow.

I think I can solve the problem with zathura_gui
with a simple test command. I will simply
test to check if the variable is a file.
I'll work on it tonite.

I compiled thisversion 3.34.68 earlier week,
but I was in a rush and didn't have time to post it.
Now I see the interesting post from Dmitri.
explaining what Jasper actually does. I don't understand why
Barry Kauler includes it. It seems useless.

I now see that there is a new version 3.34.68 Rolling Eyes

Here's the news item

new zathura_gui 1.9 corrects some strange behaviour.

I've noticed that the Zathura font (whatever it is
called??) changes depending on which Puppy
variant. Unfortunately with Akita the font is
greyish and hard to read Crying or Very sad

Barry Kauler includes an icon
/usr/share/examples/ps-pdf/Acrobat.pdf

Perhaps he does that for legal reasons??
It's size is 45k. You could reduce it's size
by making a replacement with Abiword
Just have some textual info inside the PDF.
I have a link to it for Zathura_gui.

The lightsword alarm is a lot smaller than I
thought( the package to download
is 400k), but I still recommend
pclock .35 since I localized it
(French and German locals are inside the pet package)
pclock .2 isn't very user-friendly so it
should be avoided.

I don't think lightsword alarm will ever be localized
which is a shame.

I get confused trying to track down 'pfind'
There are two 'Find files' listed on the menu.
