Sounds like a mix of dsl-n & dsl. Perhaps a dsl-n backup was restored over the new dsl. We don't have leafpad in dsl.

The add2filetool is still the top button. You can verify by cat /etc/skel/.emelfm/buttons. So, if you are missing it then it must have been overwritten from a prior backup.

It is always best to first try out a new release with 'base norestore' boot options before you introduce your prior version backup.

Sorry I cannot make the upgrade any more automatic. There are just too many options and installation types as well as advanced users who often customize their systems.

I can only post the files likely to be overwritten by a backup. And I only post files involved since the last release. If one is upgrading from much older releases then they must search out and read past site news for prior lists.

It is not possible to upgrade/downgrade between dsl-n & dsl.

In fact what I did first is copy just the knoppix image file and minirt24.gz from 3.1 over the top of the 3.0.1 files on my USB stick - when this gave boot errors, I figured that my backup.tar.gz had overwritten something important.

Next I burnt a 3.1 CD (which booted without problems) and used the right-click menu to make a new USB-HDD installation (i.e. reformat over the 3.0.1 installation). This USB installation (without restore) would not boot fully without the "legacy" option.

Finally I "un-packed" the old backup.tar.gz file and only copied across selected files into the new installation - nothing, as far as I know, to do with emelFM. BTW "leafpad" was an error, I meant "beaver".

I'll do some double-checking and post anything I find.

Edit
----
/etc/skel/.emelfm/buttons & /home/dsl/.emelfm/buttons seem to be identical. The first two lines are:

Add2Filetool= for i in %f; do add2filetool.sh %d/$i; done
Edit=beaver %f

But there ain't no Add2Filetool button...

If the configuration file is intact and you are still not having that feature then it would suggest a bad install or more likely a flakey/failing pendrive.

I had a little issue with the control panel in the fluxbox menu when I did a fresh install of dsl 3.1, and then used my old parameters of dsl 2.4. My fluxbox menu file (/ramdisk/home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu) mentions:

[exec] (Control Panel){cpanel}

but it has to be:

[exec] (Control Panel){cpanel.lua}

Otherwise, great job as usual.

Hi guys!

I was a little confused in the beginning when it comes to add2filetool but then I found out that it is present in the "normal" emelfm but not in emelfm as superuser.

Have fun,
