How to add "Places" to a Puppy tray? [SOLVED]

Maybe your menu buttons would work better.

I need a better understanding of how they work or the final goal. There's too much in your file to know what to keep or cut.

I don't really need access to all the partitions in my Drives menu. Pmount can open infrequently used partitions.

Partition icons and their menu is one of JWM's top features, but if I can put just the partitions I need in a menu and keep JWM's right-click menu options, I can hide JWM icons.

This is your file header but not in the script:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Maybe all line are not needed.

If you set Clean in Desktop Icon Setup, this overrides the Puppy Event Manager and "Drives" will not work:

That's why I said to modify the file for your own needs. If you would use a modified/edited XML file instead of the script from Slacko, you could make entries for all your drives and/or directories.

All entries within the file you got from me (except the sub-directory intern) are directories on my different hard drives.

Attached is another one. Reduced to only three items and well commented.
So you should be able to modify for your needs.

It's again a fake .gz file, so remove the .gz from its name.

EDIT:

Before downloading and installing first have a look at post 2 and 3.

Having just booted 32 Bionic for the first time I see Places is in JWM tray-1 default just as intended for older puppies in this thread.

Unfortunately it is also plagued by the problem of still requiring Puppy Event Manager desktop icons activated.

I had trouble removing all desktop volumes and keeping Places activated.

That would be the grail though - Places in your JWM tray with the ability to hide/unhide extraneous volumes.

You'd reap the benefit of alt-file manager mounting with a clean desktop.
