When I use Xarchive to add a file, it does not add the full path, only the file name.

It is for a pet file.

Hi Andy,
Make a fake and empty copy of system folders that lay below / and keep your files for that pet in them.
You don't need all folders under /, just where you want to put your files.
Make sure names of folders and their subfolders are same as in your system.
Then select those folders and make a .pet or .sfs archive.
And don't forget to delete all these folders you made in the end when you get the pet.
Or do all this in /tmp folder, puppy will delete them when shutting down.

This is what I have used, maybe somebody knowledgeable will tell you some thing simpler.

Thanks.

For making sfs I make a folder with the pet name say xyz-1.1 in /tmp
Then create folders in it and place my files just like I said above.
Then open a terminal in /tmp, run the commandMaking an sfs before .pet lets me check the software's working with sfs-load/unload without doing any changes to my working system.
Thanks.

It sounds complicated.

I can add files in Windows that contain the directory name.

Seems much easier.

Then I can convert the tar.gz file to a pet file.

This is how I made a pet file.

I wanted sensors to show Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

So I changed the config file and added it.

Now I can easily re-install CPUTemp and have it show degrees F.

(I noticed that tar files are very much larger than zip, or tgz files.
Are they compressed at all ?)

I tried to upload the compressed pet file, but I could not. ?
