PackIt PET fixed
I reported about SFR's PackIt and UExtract, that are in the latest (2.2.14) Easy:
https://bkhome.org/news/202003/packit-and-uextract-now-in-easy.html
When right-click on a file or folder, if it is not an archive file,
that is, not something like 'afile.tar.gz', then the right-click menu
will have "PackIt" as one entry. This is convenient means for archiving,
for example turn a folder into a tarball, or compress a file.
However, after releasing Easy 2.2.14, I discovered that the "PackIt"
entry was not in the right-click menu. I puzzled over this, as it had
worked in earlier testing. I have now fixed the 'pinstall.sh' script in
the PackIt PET.
Also tweaked a few things in the PackIt and UExtract PETs -- for
example, they are in the "Utility" menu, but should be in the
subcategory "package", that is, mime "X-Utility-package" -- in Easy,
look at the main menu, the "package" subcategory is where the 'XArchive'
app entry is.
The PETs will be uploaded soon.
EDIT 2020-04-06:
I have removed 'pinstall.sh' and 'puninstall.sh' scripts from PackIt PET
(also from UExtract PET), as Easy handles ROX right-click
automatically. Appended "$@" in /usr/local/bin/packit script.
I decided not to have UExtract inbuilt in Easy.
One reason is would prefer a confirm window before the action. Another
reason is right-click menu entry is created for some inappropriate
files, ex png. We already have Xarchive which is a good extraction tool.
