Hi there

I seem to have come across a problem extracting zstd compressed directories.

The screenshot shows an older build but I did update it to the latest one 4.14. Which produced the same results.

I do have the current build of zstd and it works as I used it to 'PackIt' :D

Any ...

Unfortunately, the additional command fails to execute correctly.

You need to choose PNG or JPG in the main dialog, not WEBP, then take a shot, and in the preview dialog you'll see an additional button to convert the screenshot to WEBP.
Like I said, it's just an ugly hack...

Thanks ...

Jasper : yes, but it would be an ugly hack, like taking a screenshot to PNG and then converting it to WEBP...

Is it because your ffmpeg doesn't support WEBP?
'Coz both cwebp and ffmpeg produce almost identical output.
Static ffmpeg builds (https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/) support WEBP, too ...

Version 2.1:

- removed BMP
- added WEBP (thanks to MochiMoppel)
- refactoring, improvements, bugfixes

First post updated!

Note: although ffmpeg in all reasonably recent Pups should support WEBP output, some of them may not be WEBP-ready if it comes for handling it in image viewers/editors ...

@JakeSFR
Regarding Filename :
The new default filename is Screenshot-%Y%m%dT%H%M%S and after playing with the format options and pretty much screwing up the name I wanted to go back to the default, i.e. reset to default. That doesn't seem to be possible - unless I delete the config files. I ...

MochiMoppel : most likely, yes. Some Pups had it, like Tahr-6.0.5.

It was pretty much confusing - when some FFmpeg devs created the Libav fork in 2011, they initially kept the original name of the binary ( ffmpeg ), before changing it to avconv , but adding an annotation that ffmpeg is deprecated ...

Changelog
Version 2.0:
removed quickshot feature
That's a bit unfortunate because I bet that most users didn't even know that this feature existed. Usually Puppies offer no CLI shooter, like scrot, that can take screenshots without a disturbing GUI. TAS filled this gap.
I used this feature ...

yt-dlp in termional aborts with a message saying I need Python 3.9

You can use this standalone binary: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releas ... -dlp_linux
It has the required Python embedded.

Greetings!

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late reply, but when I looked at the TAS' code after these 3 years, I decided to refactor it a little bit and change/add a few things, which took me some time, because I'm slow and lazy. ;)

As for the unsafe characters, I was thinking about a few solutions, but the most ...

Program icon, as per usual, was created using @vovchik's excellent Pikona .

I just tried looking for the Pikona utility you mentioned but could not find an active link.
Do you have any idea where the pet is available please?
Cheers!


I also can't find it. I suspect it got removed due to ...

I'm little late to the party, but it's actually possible. Hacky and messy, as usual, but still.

The KEY_SYM GtkDialog variable can be used directly only (I think?) in key-{press,release}-event actions, but apparently it's also visible to other widgets when the aforementioned signal happens, so it ...

Yeah, this kind of a mess is why I didn't decide to put MIME types in the main .desktop file after all: viewtopic.php?p=114284#p114284
This way only ROX (and Thunar) are supported, but in much more predictable and clean way.

Greetings!

@JakeSFR
Question, why does MimeType include "inode/directory"?
...that is a folder.

Oh, that's because in the latest version I added an option to recursively traverse directories.

Greetings!

Or just drag and drop its .desktop file onto the Quick Launch area.

Version 1.2:

- added pgpdump (info about PGP signatures (.sig), keys (.asc, .pgp) and encrypted files (.gpg))
- added losetup (shows loop device(s) associated with a file)
- added udevadm (info about /dev devices)
- added qemu-img (info about QCOW(2)/VMDK/VDI ...

Do you use savefile/dir in RAM mode ( savefile=ram:... )?
If so, did you also disable periodic saves ( RAM save interval = 0 in Fatdog64 Event Manager)?

That would make the /etc/booted file not being deleted from the savefile/dir at shutdown.

If that's the case, I'd suggest using a really big ...

Version 1.1:

- added feh (basic info about images)
- added fdisk (info about disk images)
- added unzip (meta from ODF/OOXML documents)
- bugfixes, improvements, refactoring

First post updated.

Greetings!

Thanks guys, glad you like it!
I wasn't entirely sure myself if it's actually useful, or if it's just a gimmick, but as it turned out, I've also been using it quite often since the inception.

wiak : oh man... Hope the bad streak is over soon, and good luck with your future endeavours. :thumbup ...

@JakeSFR

Thanks for this :thumbup:

Hey Jasper , you're welcome!

I tried to install the Xbps offering on VoidPup64 but my OS only gave me the option to ' extract ' the application, so had to use the supplied Pet instead.

Yeah, although VoidPup64 has xbps utilities pre-installed, apparently ...

A new toy.
This is a simple shell script to get a lot of info about files. But also dirs, why not.

i can utilize the following commands:

file
xdg-mime
rox
df
lsblk
mountpoint
findmnt
losetup
find
ls
du
stat
getfacl
chacl
getfattr

mikewalsh : here you can download a statically linked, 32bit unsqashfs 4.4 that supports all compression methods:
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=116301#p116301

Just unpack and put it in /usr/local/apps/UExtract/resources dir and you should be good to go.
You may also need to read ...

It seems that ROX is showing size on disk, equivalent of du -sB1 some_dir.
Interestingly, in case of files, it shows "just" the size.
SpaceFM shows both:

Thanks guys! :)

Version 4.14:

- added '-r, --recursive' CLI option (automatically used via right-click GUI)
- fixed extracting .lnx archives
- fixed extracting cloned Fossil repos
- fixed extracting GMail's .mbox
- fixed dead links in Weblinks
- some refactoring, fixes and ...

No, but it was a trivial modification to add more ordering options, since it's already using sort command.
Check out version 1.13.

Greetings!

OK, done.

Greetings!

I just updated the recipe, so the package itself should be availble soon, probably sometime tommorow.

In the meantime you may also want to try Jerry, which uses Stockfish (both in Gslapt).

This is my implementation of the classic Yahtzee game.
The general look of the GUI (as well as "Sequence of 3/4" instead of "Small/Large Straight" naming convention) was inspired by OpenYahtzee .

However, note that ...

LibreOffice (Draw) can also edit PDFs and you can actually edit an already existing text with it.
