I made a search in my dpup for 'globicons', and came up with quite a lot of them, they are in both /root/.config and /root/Choises, and also both places in /initrd/pup_ro1 and /initrd/pup_ro2, and they are all different in size and order! I list only some here:
- root/Choices/ROX-Filer/globicons: 141 lines
- /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons: 141 lines, but not in the same order as the one above, grew to 150 lines after saving and rebooting! Brilliant!
- /initrd/pup_ro1/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons: 231 lines
- /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons: 183 lines
Are any one of them supposed to be updated automatically, like PuppyPin?
I saw mentioned in an earlier thread that 'globicons' in /root/Choises and /root/.config were hardlinked, but that cannot be the case here, as they are different. Are there differences between the puppies, what is correct?
Regarding /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin, it updates automatically when an icon is added or removed, also see old thread http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=377841, on how to prevent deleted icons (like 'save') to pop up again after reboot, by editing /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Hardcoding a position for the 'save' icon on the desktop is not very smart...
There are also PuppyPin files in /opt/PinBoard/, I guess they have something to do with going back to a normal desktop after using 'wbar', the problem is they contain all those files that were deleted from the other PuppyPin file in /root/Choises. How come?
What happens after a change of screen reolution, will remastering or saving with a new resolution make the icons go bananas again, and which files are read after bootup?
I have run the commands 'fixmenus' and 'fixPuppyPin' after my changes, and after that a USB-stick would not show on the desktop when i connected it, but that situation corrected itself after reboot, are there other commands that should be used?
This is a theme that come up now and then, are there other trix and tips that should be observed when modifying the icons? I would be happy if an expert could enlighten me/us on the subject of icon handling.
