The pet hasn't been updated with all the improvements listed here http://www.sciplore.org/software/sciplo ... /#download, and I am requesting that someone please accept the challenge to develop an updated pet or sfs for the Puppy community. (And me, plus a bunch of uni students I hope to lure off Vista and Win7...)
I unfortunately have problems with robwoj44's earlier pet as it failed to integrate fully with PDF and image files in a way I outlined in my original request here:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=56136. I wonder whether these problems I encountered remain Puppy-specific, or have been solved in the later upgrades of SciPlore.
Thanks very much for your attention,
Puppyt
UPDATE: THREAD SUMMARY 2Aug '11
I think I can safely call this request "FILLED".
Many Thanks to Geoffrey and Ariel for their impetus to get this over the line. SciPlore (FreeMind Scholar) is just about to evolve into FreePlane-based "Docear" that hopefully won't encounter the XDG-open problem in Puppy. SciPlore in Puppy however will still require some manual massage to have it working to the user's requirements. Here's the copy of my openfile.sh:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
#this script opens files within freemind-0.9.0
#to use install the script in /usr/bin
#open freemind and go to Tools>Preferences>HTML menu
#in Defaul Browser Command Other Os, insert this command: openfile.sh {0}
#save
#quit freemind and launch it again
#
#you can add other programs provided you add the extension of the file you want to launch (last 3 characters)
ext=`echo "$@" | sed 's/.*\(...\)$/\1/'`
if [ "$ext" == doc ] ; then abiword "$@"
elif [ "$ext" == txt ] ; then abiword "$@"
elif [ "$ext" == tml ] ; then firefox "$@"
elif [ "$ext" == abw ] ; then abiword "$@"
elif [ "$ext" == pdf ] || [ "$ext" == PDF ] ; then evince "$@"
# elif [ "$ext" == pdf ] || [ "$ext" == PDF ] ; then FoxitReader "$@"
elif [ "$ext" == jpg ] || [ "$ext" == JPG ] ; then viewnior "$@"
# elif [ "$ext" == jpg ] || [ "$ext" == JPG ] ; then evince "$@"

[Test environment: using pemasu's Polarpup-003, Woof, kernel 2.6.39-3(i686); Geoffrey's SciPlore 15beta pet; Ariel's openfile and cgj-jre-4-4-4-3-lucid pets (latter might not be required), with this added to my etc/profile file:
Code: Select all
