Hey, thanks for the answers.
@ Sylvander its a frugal install, i didn't read the benefits of 005, i'll check now. And i used that method you said.
Is it safe to remove the .pet? Will i have rox work as always?
If i can't make XFE the default, can i at least use the desktop drive icons but without poping up ROX-filer?
@ `f00
I didn't understand very well... doing that would work as i wanted?
thanks.

desktop driveicons are pretty much as they were originally set up to work with rox by BK (in other words, not for the faint-of-heart-nor-skill to change) but you can try if you're the adventurous type.
editing pmount is safer
rox is basically good to go in the original sfs of your pup. "work as always" depends on what changes you've made, but it's fairly robust so.. (haha, I just remembered doing some things that fubar'd gtk a long time ago & that rendered rox and many other gtk-based apps temporarily useless but not xfe since xfe uses fltk)
the rox->openwith->xfe dodge I mentioned just in passing, there's a particular way to make it work properly as expected if I recall (why the emoticon, I've only done it rarely)
good luck and have fun

a few this'n'that, fwiw:
lines for filetypes section of xferc to enable 2-4fs and sfs open(mount/unmount):
2fs=filemnt;2fs file system;2fs_32x32.png;2fs_16x16.png;;
3fs=filemnt;3fs file system;3fs_32x32.png;3fs_16x16.png;;
4fs=filemnt;4fs file system;4fs_32x32.png;4fs_16x16.png;;
sfs=filemnt;Squash file system;sfs_32x32.png;sfs_16x16.png;;
SFS-=filemnt;Squash file system;sfs_32x32.png;sfs_16x16.png;;
typical filetype entry etc:
png=gqview,gview,mtpaint;PNG Image;png_32x32.png;png_16x16.png;;
<ext>=<open>,<view>,<edit>;<a description>;<bigicon>;<smallicon>;;
note - full path(s) for open/view/edit may be used if desired
pmount I use (from q142) as a SAMPLE:
rename your original /usr/sbin/pmount to pmountOEM, then
rclick->Properties, Permissionstab and tick the execute flags to try this

I just edited pmount and now it doesn't open rox everytime i click on mount... but i want to make use of the drive icons on the desktop, i'd like to make them behave like pmount, when i click on a drive icon, mount it but don't open rox nor xfe. But that seems hard... so i think i'll just leave it as always.
thanks

1. "Is it safe to remove the .pet?"
Yes.
2. "Will i have rox work as always?"
Yes.
3. "If i can't make XFE the default"
At some time in the past...
I DID make Xfe the default...
And it worked OK...
But, when I didn't want it to open, it was such a HUGE window...
So I uninstalled it, so as to go back to ROX opening instead [its a nice/small window, and easy to close].
4. "can i at least use the desktop drive icons but without poping up ROX-filer?"
I've no idea how to do that.

When the Rox desktop icon is clicked ------->
I think this can be done by changing the desktop file
in /usr/share/applications/
or else change the description of the desktop icon

What should that setting be changed to?
If I wanted NOTHING to auto-run when I clicked on an icon for a partition on the desktop/pinboard.

Hey, i managed to make it work as i wanted. I don't know if it's allright or what, but i modified AppRun, which is in .pup_event, there are 4 lines about rox, changed 2 of them so when i click on the drives XFE opens, and the icons still refresh

-now with *fs mounting-
I have been using XFE for years, and the thing I have always wished it had is partition mounting.
Recent versions have partition un-mounting, so it will probably happen some day.
Using 1.32.4, and still not there.
Some of the whizz coders here could surely help the developer out by implementing mounting, I reckon.

https://sourceforge.net/p/xfe/feature-requests/208/?limit=25 says:
Quote: | In Xfe 1.42, there is now the possibility to enter custom mount / unmount commands in the Preferences / Program dialog. |
Also see:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/%5Bsolved%5D-view-other-devices-partitions-in-xfe-file-manager-4175550594/
It appears you might need to add some entries to /etc/fstab unless things have changed:

And, Ctrl-M according to:

Thanks wiak !
No luck with your links .
Too complicated ?.......too dumb ?.....too lazy ?
Did another trick ....configured Desktop Drive Icons to open with XFE when clicked .
Now the clicked Device/Partition will be opened in XFE .....and so this (clicked )
Partition is also shown as mounted in XFE.....can also be unmounted again with XFE .
Anyway ....Thanks

Hi !
Regarding mounting Dives/Partitions with XFE ......maybe a few years later ....
or maybe it will be accomplished in my next Live .
Meanwhile :

I'll give it right back to you one of these days ....I said, I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
And if I don't meet you no more in this world...
.... I'lll meet you in the next one
.....don't be late......"

Hi Backi,
Two questions:
1) How do we get rid of the annoying popup from XFE (about being 'root') every time we open XFE?
2) Can you explain to me exactly how I do your trick? This: Did another trick ....configured Desktop Drive Icons to open with XFE when clicked . Now the clicked Device/Partition will be opened in XFE .....and so this (clicked )Partition is also shown as mounted in XFE.....can also be unmounted again with XFE .
Do I have to go into /root.pup_event folder and somehow modify each 'AppRun' script for every partition? If so, how and what?? Also, what happens when you plug a new USB or whatever in??? Does XFE from then on automatically grab it & mount it?
Or are you modifying for each partition the right-click menu option? Again, if so, what is it? And what happens when you plug something new in?? Do we have to manually do the modification each time???
I like XFE, since it seems more stable than SpaceFM when copying things, but this not mounting my partitions inside its open window is driving me nuts, and the annoying popup that "it is root" isn't helping things

Hi Belham !
It is quite easy .....
For stopping popup "you are running as Root" ....go uncheck at the bottom Preferences>Dialogs>Warn if running as root
To make XFE (instead your default File-manager which opens every time you click Desktop Drive Icon )
Mouse right-click on some of the Drive Icons >Settings .....put in
File manger xfe $dir
Regards !
