File information app

Forum member JakeSFR, or just SFR in the old forum, has created a great app that will display information about any file or directory:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=12663

It can be a CLI app; however, he has also set it to run as a GUI and via the ROX-Filer right-click menu.

Really nice, love it. I have modified the 'i-1.2.pet', as the 'pinstall.sh' and 'punistall.sh' scripts are not needed. EasyOS automatically generates the Rox right-click menu entries when a package is installed and uninstalled, via script 'build-rox-sendto'.

So, right-click on any file or directory, and there will be an entry "File-information". However, I have enhanced 'build-rox-sendto' so that a translation will be applied. The /usr/share/applications/i.desktop has been enhanced:

Exec=env I_GUI=true i

...so the right-click menu will display the appropriate translation.

Github commit for the enhanced 'build-rox-sendto':

Modified PET not yet uploaded. It will be builtin in the next release of Easy Scarthgap and Easy Daedalus.

Note, another entry in the right-click menu is "Run-in-terminal". The enhanced 'build-rox-sendto' will now also translate that. The file /usr/share/applications/run-in-terminal.desktop:

...on the condition that the translation does not have a space character.

I posted about Run-in-terminal here:

This is great, we keep making EasyOS more and more convenient to use.
