ROX-Filer Desktop folder support

Post by woodenshoe-wi »

Back in 2019, rizalmart asked on GitHub if it would be possible for ROX-Filer to show files in the Desktop folder on the pinboard.

I started working on it in January and February 2020, but didn’t get around to properly handling internationalized Desktop folder names until this January.

I have the finished code applied to the latest version of the puppylinux-woof-CE/rox-filer at https://github.com/woodenshoe-wi/rox-filer/tree/w
and the latest version of jun7’s ROX-Filer at https://github.com/woodenshoe-wi/rox-filer/tree/jun7

There was a change in the way that the jun7 ROX-Filer handles deleted files, so I commented out the code that removes icons from the pinboard when they are deleted so it won’t segfault, but I will leave that to anyone else that wants to work on it.

A pet compiled in tahr is available for testing, https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkbbem8mrcpew ... 0.pet?dl=1
and NLS https://www.dropbox.com/s/lqffbxxtejgv8 ... 0.pet?dl=1

And tahr64 https://www.dropbox.com/s/b6rb54312zomx ... 0.pet?dl=1
NLS https://www.dropbox.com/s/0agu3trvoo0v1 ... 0.pet?dl=1

I also made a pet of the jun7 version in fossapup, https://www.dropbox.com/s/6rqwuq8q9j56k ... a.pet?dl=1
But I don’t know how compatible it is with other versions of Puppy.

I made these pets with another one of my projects that I have been working on, git2package
https://github.com/woodenshoe-wi/git2package
I think it is working properly, but it can probably use more testing too.

The new ROX-Filer code is in the woodenshoe-wi/w and woodenshoe-wi/jun7 branches, the rest of the branches are old code.
