It's not a fix but it might be useful:

choose a folder
press CTRL-L
enter a filename

This shortcut is commonly used in various apps (also in Firefox itself) to give the focus to the address bar.

Merci, Sonia, it's one of the most beautiful greeting cards I've ever seen.

Joyeux Noël ! Bonne année, bonne santé !

--newer-mtime ?

The ‘--after-date=date’ (‘--newer=date’, ‘-N date’) option causes tar to only work on files whose data modification or status change times are newer than the date given.

If you want tar to make the date comparison based only on modification of the file’s data (rather than ...

The bug has been fixed, the author has noticed it himself without a report.

New version - f2 2.0.3

Fix bug caused by space trimming in `--find`, `--replace`, `--exclude`, and `--exclude-dir`

I do see problems when using curly brackets in combination with f2's placeholders, which also ...

No offense, of course. Just failed to spot an evidence of constructive approach in your initial reaction. Thanks for the clarification.
I've found f2 to be a very useful tool. Otherwise I wouldn't care to download the go compiler, especially with my limited plan. Not that the GUI ...

Bad news: it has a bug/regression that prevents replacing spaces with underscores or vice versa. f2 -f " " -r "_" doesn't work anymore.
Replacing spaces with underscores works when using octal instead of literal space : f2 -f '\40' -r '_' , however replacing underscores with spaces seems not to ...

Burunduk

In fact f2 is designed for more complex renaming tasks.

It's a new version again - 2.0.1

Good news: the natural sorting has finally been added.

... i even change ' to " but no results

You've got an error - this is a result too.

' and " are quite different in bash.

'$var' is just a literal string, no expansion happens;

'a\' is OK but "a\" is wrong - the backslash escapes the quote, it should be "a\\" ;

Do you expect me to guess ...

im using this sed but aint working since gonna add in all names

You can limit the range of lines where sed will search for a "Name=":

Code: Select all

sed -i -e '/^\[.*Entry/,/^\[/{/^Name=/a\' -e "the line you want to add" -e '}' sample.desktop

Burunduk

This would also work with bash/ash/dash but uses sed :
echo $OLD | sed 's/false,/&\n/g' | sed -rn '/false,$/ s/(.*htm)(.*\/[^,]*)(.*)/\"htm\2,/p'

Just a note: this snippet works because the echo command outputs the whole thing as a single line.

For a multi-line input this sed command could ...

I found this script and would like to find a specific combination by its number in the sequence.
If 4312 comes in position 23, can this combination be found just by calculating the sequence number 23 without comparing and running through all possible sequences?

Bash has a very limited support ...

You've got "$@" parameters at the end of your command. Be aware that these are NOT the same parameters…

You've a point here! I was too lazy to actually test the functions (or even read the code carefully).

Burunduk

I see no repeating of that YAD command, so why in a function then ?

No repeating here too:
if grep -q 'Quirky April64' /etc/DISTRO_SPECS ||
grep -q 'puppy_tahr64' /etc/os-release ||

The popup window looks exactly like a firefox push notification . You've probably allowed them inadvertently.

There is a mozilla article that describes the feature and shows how to disable it.

Basically, you need to open the firefox settings page and then go to Privacy & Security -> Permissions ...

This line handles the carriage return but adds a slash and space to the beginning of all inserted lines:

sed -i "${LINENUM}i\/ ${INSERTTEXT}" ${TASKS_DIR}"${*}"

A backslash is expected, not a slash. A literal newline is expected too:

Other way (only way AFAIK, but anyone correct me if I'm wrong) to prevent is to configure Firefox in the settings to not remember history, but that may not be what you want.

There is a setting for this in the about:config page: browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash.

there was a extra Quotes on it terminal_cmd=rxvt -e /bin/sh "%c"

The default geany.conf file in Fossapup64-9.5 contains the line with a typo that needs to be fixed:

terminal_cmd=rxvt -e "/bin/sh "%c"

All my pinstall.sh script has is a single sed command:

Dziękuję za wskazówkę. I've compiled Icon 9.5.23a on my Fossapup64-9.5 without a problem. It seems to work:

Don't really know what to do with this language next but it looks interesting.

i should jus use a SED command but to convert to pet i didnt knew how thats why i did the pet

I've made a sample pet. It probably only works for Fossapup64-9.5 and shouldn't change anything in other puppy distros.
The pet installs nothing but the pinstall.sh script runs anyway during the ...

as well Geany when it comes to run a bash script

update_geany.pet overwrites the existing geany configuration file - /root/.config/geany/geany.conf - erasing all the customized user preferences.

I have en_US.UTF-8 (the default), and this used to work. Now it doesn't.

Can see it in VoidPup64-22.02. Probably a change in the glibc. At least find /tmp/ -not -regex ".*" still works. It's trying to match a whole path so it's not an equivalent but better than nothing.

Edit :BW64 uses find (GNU findutils) 4.9.0 . It behaves now like busybox find :twisted: Older versions are fine.

Version 4.7.0 in @rockedge 's F96-CE still works fine. However using F96-CE's version in BW64 does not work ... and this may be an indication that find is not the culprit. I ...

Let's create an example. Following code will create an empty file in directory /tmp with an invalid UTF-8 character in its file name. In ROX-Filer the name will appear as AüFilename , in other file managers and in the GTK Open dialog it will appear as A?Filename

MochiMoppel has explained how to change the ls colors.
Other programs can use the blue color too. If you want to change colors in urxvt (for all the programs it runs), you can add the lines

URxvt.color12: #7777ff - for the bold blue (the one used in ls for ...
