Why not
xdg-open?
because it does not work in all cases.
It is always working for me. If there would be a problem, I would use
xfce4-mime-settings or the following command to correct it.
Code: Select all
xdg-mime default leafpad.desktop `grep 'MimeType=' /usr/share/applications/leafpad.desktop | sed -e 's/.*=//' -e 's/;/ /g'`

Nothing. I use it regularly.

sakura (>lxterminal) and geany (>leafpad) are set as launchers.
It seems several options in tint2rc need to be adjusted (some applied to SVN only, not 0.11).

To be honest, I'm not comfortable with any option. Staying with spacefm means that we have known and visible bugs, which is really bad.

My view is it's unfortunate this happened, but we can't release it like this: it goes against the whole Salix 'bonsai' philosophy. The third course would be to keep plugging away at a fix for spacefm, if I'm right in thinking that would still be possible.

Well, i have tested pcmanfm .I have change the user-settings file and i am positive we have no problem. Mount shares is working fine. A desktop trash appears on Desktop. Also user "Documents folder" appear on desktop. I don't see any problems. I have change user-settings-openbox and i have test them in a virtualbox installation.
We have to go with a release. But we have to choose the file manager. PcmanFM works fine with no bugs.
Well, tell me what do you suggest spacefm or pcmanfm and i will prepare the isos.

After another read of your post i understand you prefer spacefm for now since we are on rc2.

For information.
I did a lot of tests with pcmanfm in an installation on virtualbox. Pcmafm cannot play mp3 files on samba shares with exaile and whaawmp. Both stick and cannot close.
Now i remember why i have chosen spacefm. Which is fine except the bug because we do not have root on salix.
Just one damn "Edit as Root" bug remain. To edit the code is a nightmare.
Except of this bug, spacefm is working fine.

Why complicate your life? (KISS?) I did so:
This is just for me! Other users do not need it!

A long time in appearance with Zenwalk Netpkg I had problems, this decision prompted to help. At the moment, for Ubuntu & Synaptic is very much in demand, I know from my own experience, as in Arch Linux for GUI pacman / yaourt is true ... For Salix right now probably be as follows:
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s ~/.fonts /usr/share/fonts
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s ~/.icons /usr/share/icons
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s ~/.themes /usr/share/themes
Or I do not understand anything?

I guess gapan suggests that the directories in question do not exist in $HOME/ directory, thus your proposed shortcuts are invalid. On the other hand, maybe your suggestion would be valid if these directories would be included in /etc/skel/.
