I have 555 different tags in shotwell and I'd like to be able to shift click or control click to select several at once and drop them into a "nested hierarchy". I'm not sure what the correct terminology is.

How to I test if voltage is the problem?

Try to run dmesg and check if you see frequent errors about devices that don't respond, each followed by connection of the same device.

A drive that disappears and re-appears can happen if voltage is too low and you have multiple USB devices connected at the same time. If this is the case, you should consider a powered USB hub.

I don't have a Samsung phone.

Some (usually older) phones have drives that can be mounted directly.
Such a phone would probably cause a mount icon to appear on the deaktop.
You would see a directly mountable drive listed if you typed in a terminal fdisk -l

Your phone probably uses mtp.

Success! Thank you.

@LANdpLAN :-

Sounds to me as though what you need is "udev-rules". Jafadmin's wee mount-point utility worked brilliantly for me some years ago on the old Compaq Presario desktop rig, in the days before it eventually shuffled off its mortal coil.....

I use the UUID of the drive where the frugal Puppy OS is located. You can get this from the Partition--> Information menu in GParted.
For simplicity, I assign this to a variable in the Grub2 grub.conf file -
eg: MYUUID=1c48a2d8-bdbb-4cf5-a620-e43c95e51a05

Then I use the value of this variable in ...

I thought that puppy is supposed to be loaded into ram. Why is it reading from the USB drive that booted from? When I created a puppy usb drive with fat32 partition there was a save button on the desktop. I needed more than 4gb for one of my save files so I created a usb with e4StickPup and there is ...

You can ensure rclone finishes syncing before shutdown by using a simple shutdown script. Create a script that runs rclone sync and only shuts down once syncing is complete.

1. Create the script:
Open a terminal and run:
echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nrclone sync /path/to/local/dir remote:backup ...

In that case, edit this section in your .conkyrc file
Code: Select all

# same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x 75
gap_y 50
to suit your needs.

Thanks. I found it in the root folder.
