menu entry to run save update

Post by bigpup »

This is only for running in pupmode 13, where the save does not automatically update (pupmode 12), as things change.

I made this .desktop file to run the same thing the desktop save icon does.

Download it and place it in /usr/share/Applications

Save the change.

Run fixmenus, in a terminal, to get it showing in the menu.
May need to just do a save and a reboot, to get it showing.

It will be in menu->System

Note:
Rename file, removing .gz from end.
Had to add .gz to name, so it would attach.

update save.desktop.gz

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

Just as an aside, bearing in mind the comment I made in the other thread about any desktop icon being "re-assignable" to the main Menu, taersh produced a .pet last year that does the exact opposite.

Traditionally, if we want to place an icon on the desktop, we normally go into /usr/share/applications, locate the .desktop file we want, then drag it onto the desktop to use as a launcher. Rainer's utility simplifies this. When installed, you'll find its entry at the very top of the Desktop section, so, literally the very first thing you encounter. You click on it; the Menu disappears for a moment, then re-appears; now select the item you want a desktop launcher for. A small window pops-up, and asks if you want a desktop icon, or a tray icon. Select the one you want, click on it, and.....moments later, there it is.

Just another way of making Puppy a bit more 'noob'-friendly! I use this all the time, now; speeds up the process of customising my Pups no end.
