PostX Gnu/Linux delayed to December, new filemanager coming

I have decided to delay PostX Gnu/Linux release to be at the end of December. It´s better to tune the features to their peak rather than do a too early release. The previous having said, there is a new filemanager coming soon. This will likely be the default on the upcoming distribution release. Here is a development screenshot.

Still in development quality code of Spin FM will be released during the next weekend.

Sequence FM 7.0 RC3 released

Sequence FM 7.0 RC3 has been released.

7.0 RC3 fixes and changes from RC2:

Copy and move made from right-click menu: Select entry or select entries by holding CTRL and clicking. Now, choose: “Select for copying or moving” from the right-click menu. Next, go to your location of choice and press either: “Copy to…” or “Move to…”

Copy and move functions read the location from addressbar to complete their actions.

Verification dialogs to “Copy to…” and “Move to…” : No final action should be performed without user’s acceptance.

Notice. If user cancels from any of the above dialogs then “Select for copying or moving” action needs to be redone.

Original entry from 11th of April:

7.0 RC2 fixes and new features:

CSS theme support.
4 themes added -> set your theme with theme.py.
Dual panel mode is now default.
Listview added as shortcut place.
File/object descriptors added.
Multi-selection by holding CTRL and clicking objects is now possible.
File-roller integration removed as an effort to reduce external dependencies -> Open external program functionality added as a replacement.
Object buffer of previous releases removed and replaced with native Pyqt5 dialogs.

The new default outlook is as below:

From PostX 0.6 to 0.7 – Upgrading guide.

This guide is for upgrading the PostX Gnu/Linux to 0.7 version. As of 3rd of January 2021 Debian Buster is having some issues with grub-efi and grub.cfg generation. This leads to failures when generating new images. Given the previous, the more manual way of upgrading PostX Gnu/Linux was chosen at this time.

Notices:

Disable secure boot before attempting to install (Bios).
Possibly disable legacy boot (Bios).
Before proceeding read the section: Know issues – AMD from this document.

To begin get PostX Gnu/Linux 0.6 and install it.

0.6 release notes and guide.

When that is done then proceed with the instructions below. Remember that you do everything with your own responsibility and if things get broken it is your responsibility to fix them. Always backup anything important before proceeding.

Disclaimer: Upgrade changes system structure. Make sure you copy all important configs and customizations before proceeding. If something goes wrong it is user’s responsibility to fix the issues and deal with possible damages.

Notable changes, excluding version upgrades:

– Text editor will change from Metapad to ++Editor.

– ImageViewer is added.

– Quick Terminal is back as primary terminal.

After upgrade, the Openbox menu will be out of date, since programs have changed. See, step 4.
