(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I haven't installed the updated version of Rox filer, so can't check the results for "cycle extra details".

Updated my previous post to provide a better translation if there's some sort of "multiple detailed views" with different details shown.

Edit:

Ok installed for testings.

My new translation definitely fits to its new behaviour.

The behavior of the Details button hasn't changed. I had cherry picked the commits that added that behavior from jun7 some time back but didn't realize that I had to update the tooltip until now.

Ok, I see.

Though, translation fits good!

Hello,
Here is the French translation.

Cordialement.

woodenshoe-wi, I want to report that rox filer just respond my "Enter" keyboard on top of shift button, but does not respond my "Enter" key on the numlock below "+" key. I use standard full keyboard (dell keyboard).
Thank you.

New version:

NLS https://github.com/woodenshoe-wi/rox-fi ... mmon32.pet

64 bit version https://github.com/woodenshoe-wi/rox-fi ... mmon64.pet
NLS (actual .mo files are identical to 32 bit pet)

@recobayu I fixed the problem with the keypad "Enter" key, all I needed to do was add a single line. The regular "Enter" key is named GDK_Return but the keypad "Enter" key is named GDK_KEY_KP_Enter. Now it looks for both.

While I was looking at the keystroke handling code, I noticed that the keypad arrow keys weren't being handled properly either. I added the keypad arrow keys everywhere that the regular arrow keys were used, but no mater what I tried I couldn't get them to work properly when the "Shift" key was held down... It turned out that the standard Linux behavior is to temporarily toggle the "Number Lock" state when the "Shift" key is pressed.

No "Shift", NumLock off = arrow keys
No "Shift", NumLock on = numbers
"Shift", NumLock off = numbers!
"Shift", NumLock on = arrow keys with "Shift" state

To fix this I had to change the line in xorg.conf from:
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
to
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,numpad:microsoft"

If that doesn't fix it for you try searching for "numpad:microsoft". There are apparently lots of different ways to set that configuration option, and different distros use different approaches.

@Argolance Thank you for the translation file!
Hopefully the msgmerge command didn't screw anything up, and I have the new translations merged to fr.po GitHub.com 410d6c9

Edit: shortened post.

Hi

in some Puppy, the built-in version of Rox filer hasn't an opportune order of columns (I prefer name - size - last modified - owner - group - permissions (I never use the 3 lasts in rox as they interesting studying a certain file: in that case I use ls !).

it is the case for ex. in Bionic.

and in Bionic, I find I can't change the order

in some other, I can (drag and drop the last column to an other place) but after remastering the change becomes the same as initially before the change !

what is to do?

kind regards

This version doesn't save the order of columns, I think the jun7 fork does.

You can however choose which columns to show.

Bonjour,

Done!

Cordialement.

Thanks!

Tahnk you for the info.

It is for me good solution if possible to remember iit after remasterising.

The settings are saved in /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Options

Is this file not copied when remastering?

Hi woodenshoe-wi,
There is an interesting discussion about implementing a progress bar for single file / directory copying.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=115467

Seems a progress bar already exists for multiple file / directory copying.

Thanks for the continued developement of ROX Filer

.

Here's an example of what Semme posted up, and there are others posted too.

Hello,

I use another way, working fine.

edit : new version



Regard.

Nice Fabrice, is Rsync (ftpish like) secure? Just wondering if that might be overegging the pudding so to speak. Rox is at the heart of root/puppy.

SFR uses a progress meter in his Packit app, integrated, not sure how that works but very good.
Just musing here, I am not that well up on it.

@Smithy

where is this application please ?

You will find it in Murga/ Utilities section Fabrice, along with UXtract.

I thought it was built in into the latest Puppies by default (UExtract also).

At least from Tahr and up I've seen it and used it also from Rox right-click menu on a directory (to squash sfs modules).

Ah ok, it's not a progress bar, it's hscale widget, here only to show that program he's in action (moves quickly from left to right)

But hscale could be used instead .svg picture in my script.
