I just posted a low quality video at youtube showing the convenience of a simple shell wrapper (to change backgrounds) for tedious tasks in DSL 4.0. I'm still going through my wrappers from rox and I hope some of you will be inspired to contribute better scripts than I tend to write.

(Sorry, partially nsfw from 43-57 seconds.)

Now that emelFM is gone (or at least I cannot find it), it's not so obvious how to change the permissions on files, change files to executable, unpack tar.gz and extensions, copy files to folders owned by root, add files to .filetool.lst, etc, etc

Is there an easy way to do all of the above (i.e. not from a terminal window) in DSL-4 that I'm missing?

Right click on the file. Choose options. A box will open with details about the file. At the bottom is a series of boxes that should look familiar if you set permissions from emelfm. Click apply before exiting.

edit: See the menu additions I suggested earlier to re/start dfm between users dsl and root.

I tried this, but if the file is owned by root then setting the permissions will have no effect - is there a DSL-4 equivalent of opening emelFM as super-user?

Here are the menu entries I added for dfm in .jwmrc:
<Program icon="filemgr.xpm" label="re/start dfm">sudo killall dfm && dfm</Program>
<Program icon="filemgr.xpm" label="re/start dfm - su">killall dfm && sudo dfm</Program>
