ROX-Filer: Open With menu icons

May 21, 2012 — BarryK
My ROX-Filer PET packages have never had icons in the "Open With..." menu. That is, you get a list of applications, abiword, geany, gnumeric, etc., but with generic icons alongside.

It is only a small thing perhaps, but it is nice to have the appropriate icon for each application. So, I have implemented that and updated the ROX-Filer PET package.

Yes it is really nice but most of the menu entries are duplicated [img]http://ompldr.org/vZHU2aw/OpenWith.png[/img] Maybe it is in my installation only?

"L18L : Do you have /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo folders or symlinks ? At a second look there are only few, not most icons duplicated .

"The duplicates are from the original Rox-Filer used in Woof. Apply[code]for z in `ls /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/`; do rm -f /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/$z; done[/code] and those original links will go away
