This is not a bug in ROX File Manager.

Here's an excellent YouTube video describing the 'Ken Burns Effect' and how to make it happen. It's basically just zooming and panning within the still frame.

One of my favourites... But how do you do it in Puppyland?

What it's about: Especially after christmas i was 'spammed' with a lot of photos by some family members, asking if i could make a video-slide-show of them. Of course, i can. Problem is that nowadays most people take photos with a mobile phone in portrait mode... Add black borders to fill vertical hd...

... Only one correction: The action is not run for every item in the tree, it is rather run for every remaining item (and lastly for the top item when cursor jumps back to top after the refresh). Running a refresh will take much longer when the first item is currently selected compared to a refresh...

... My immediate problem is the black desktop. The taskbar is still there, and a right click on the desktop still brings up the menu. I can still use the computer with a black desktop, but it slows me down a lot and is a major annoyance. So my question is: Is there a setting somewhere that turns th...

One thing before we go on testing: The issue occurred using Min browser. After changing my settings, i was no longer able to browse the forum with firefox and palemoon after login either. ... [edit] Around 21:10 UTC Tried again with Min - no change. Switched to firefox (115esr). Cookies and history ...

Acceptable - if it doesn't work, don't offer it.

All well with Sie - but if we ever meet RL, i would like to say Du

I'll try it. If it fails you'll be annoyed with another email

Yesterday i changed the language of the forum from Deutsch (Sie) -> Deutsch (Du) and was no longer able
to browse the forum. Only a blank page appeared.

Deleting history allowed to access board index.

@rockedge did reset the language and login works again
Thank you so much.

HerrBert

Sounds like an old issue with builtin remaster script.
There is an excellent HowTo by @CatDude on the murga forum explaining, how to include personal settings in a remaster.
TBH the adrv.sfs solution is much more convenient.

Isn't this a part of quicksetup in mainline puppies?

All i can say is, i repeat: political and religious opinions don't belong to an objective forum. If you offer a platform for this kind of discussion you may have to expect other than political correctness.

... I managed to write a function that works for me, but I'm not sure how robust this function is. I'm keen to know if this works for other users and also if there are better ways.

... I am looking into it. It appears that it is possible to use a Deutsche Girocard if you have a German PAYPAL account but it is somewhat unclear why it will not work when choosing credit or debit card when reaching the main Donation Page on the PAYPAL portal as a guest.

Thank you for the invitation to try out overlayfs based kernels. I've been playing with this for several hours this afternoon. The approach of symlinking everything sounds very weird - however, if it works for you, enjoy ;) Since we are/will_be no longer able to load a sfs on the fly, i have a quest...

Is there a screenshotting program that allows you to set coordinates and size precisely and continue to take screenshots using those settings? I had a look at a few ppm packages and none seems to have the possibility of setting screen coordinates If your request is about the same coordinates, i can...

Tried to download latest Midori-11.1.2, but the links seem to be messed up (64bit button points to i686.tar.bz2)

Thank you. Sounds like I am the culprit then as I have pSchedule set to run #poweroff at a specific time... hence the crash. Thanks tons for the info!

Not quite sure if this makes a big difference here, but would you mind to change your cronjob from poweroff to wmpoweroff?

HerrBert

If you want to update your copied files you can use cp -f [SOURCE] [DESTINATION] to overwrite existing file or cp -u [SOURCE] [DESTINATION] to update existing file only if the source file is newer.

theroar84 #!/bin/bash cp ./mnt/home/clickawake.sh ./root/my-applications/bin/ cp ./mnt/home/root ./var/spool/cron/crontabs/ The leading dots don't work here, because rox interpretes them as relative path to where it starts from. Also i wonder, why you want to copy /mnt/home/root to /var/spool/cron/...

TBH, ((i++)) was my first attempt, but at least i thought there is no math needed

Very nice exercise

Also specifically for this example: string="Lorem 'ipsum dolor sit' amet 'consecur' adipis [elit sed do] [eius] mod" i=0 for n in $string; do [ "${n::1}" = "'" -o "${n::1}" = "[" ] && i=1 [ "${n: -1:1}" = "'" -o "${n:...
