ROX-Filer from git, Dec. 2010

Ttuuxxx posted that the latest ROX-Filer from git behaves itself very well:

So, I have upgraded, using it in Wary seems good. This PET is available for all Woof builds, most builds will default to using it.

Yes, as ttuuxxx has observed, the focus problem has improved and drag-and-drop from SM works, however there is still one thing. We need to tell the Rox developers about this:

You can right-click and from the menu if you select "Open As Text" or "Properties" then great, the focus is released from the icon. However, if you select "Send To" (patched by me to "Open With") then focus is not released -- the icon remains highlighted. This is a bug.

Hi Barry thanks for the patched sources, The only thing your patched sources needs is the removal of "Running as user root" from the top of window, It used to be easy to remove this but this version is much more difficult, what do you edit or delete to make that go away, I spent about 3hrs trying all different things and still getting that message. Thanks ttuuxxx

"I did remove that message in my patched source. These are the two patches I applied: [code]Edit ROX-Filer/src/menu.c: change "Send To..." string to "Open With..." Edit ROX-Filer/src/main.c, commented out this line: if (euid == 0 || show_user) show_user_message = g_strdup_printf(_("Running as user '%s'"), user_name(euid));[/code]

"Hi Barry your right you did, Before I think I used to just open a new window with rox and that window would show the root message removed, But this time only after I restarted X server was it finally gone, anyways all is good now and sorry I was mistaken. ttuuxxx

"it is sufficient to just remove [code]euid == 0 ||[/code] //leave showuser otherwise you break the user message option //& _should_ probably remove the usage text: -u, --user show user name in each window
