Re: Clock on Puppy forum pages

Don't like the clock.
All Puppies already comes with clock in the tray.
It is unnecessary additional javascript load from the page.

And you can't say "turn it off in the control panel", because if we don't log in then the "control panel" settings don't apply. For people who like the clock so much ...

The forum can be slow nowadays. But I'm sure those who asked for this feature would be grateful and eventually come back to respond. Either that, or there are no bugs and everything works perfectly.

Re: Why does the Unix file type of /root/.icons/ROX differ between FD64-v903 and earlier versions? [Solved]

Ok, glad to hear that.

To make it clear, the /root/.icons/ROX symlink is created by ROX-Filer itself when it was run, if there is nothing else already exists (hence if you check 902 basesfs, you will not find the symlink there). We pre-created the directory /root/.icons/ROX and include that in 903 ...

Re: Why does the Unix file type of /root/.icons/ROX differ between FD64-v903 and earlier versions?

With the old symlink model (902 and before), if you want to add/replace MIME icons, you will have to update /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer-jun7/ROX/MIME (because of the symlink).

After the change (903 onwards), ROX will use icons in /root/.icons/ROX/MIME if they exist, if not, it will still fallback ...

Assuming that list is exactly as specified, where the /root/.local entries are always located earlier in the list, this will produce the expected output where entries are in the same order as the original list.
