Barry Kauler ☛ Rox right-click run-in-terminal
Forum member Vverve requested this:
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=135081#p135081
He referred to an old PET package that provided a ROX-Filer right-click menu entry "Run in terminal".
Yes, that would be nice. You can left-click on a shell script or binary executable and it will run, but sometimes you would like to run the executable in a terminal to see any console output. Yes, ROX does have the ability to open a terminal, with backtick key or a menu choice, which I use often; but then you have to type in the name of the executable that you want to run.

Barry Kauler ☛ Syntax fix for mimeapps.list
/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list is used by many applications to determine what executable to handle a particular file, for example how to open or view a PNG image. This list is generated by /usr/bin/build-rox-sendto everytime a package is installed or removed, or the SFS layers change.

Barry Kauler ☛ EasyOS Scarthgap version 6.4.2 released
I modified the PET package somewhat, as UExtract PET as-is does not work properly in EasyOS. One problem is that Easy has /usr/bin/build-rox-sendto that manages mime-handling for ROX and other apps, and this runs automatically when packages are installed or removed. Also changed a few other things that were not relevant for Easy. PET not yet uploaded.

Barry Kauler ☛ Latest JWM has wrong colours
So, for now, EasyOS is still on 2.4.2. The latest JWM is now 2.4.5; however, I presume the problem is still there.
