Ive just run up RC2 and found the same issues as RC1 with the DFM context menu. Ive run this up on 2 machines and get the same issue.

Each time I run up DSL the right click on the desktop produces the DSL menu. We have lost the desktop context menu.. This has had a mention before.

Sure if I right click on an icon and use the submenu DFM for X-11 and then turn on the Desktop context menu I can get it back.. The big thing with this context menu is the Mount submenu. I have as yet found no other place I can access this.
The old mount tool per DSL v3 is gone.

How on earth are newbees going to figure out this set of steps? Its a pain having to do this each time its booted up as well.. It just seems silly..

I could allways learn and remember the mount command from a terminal I guess but that will take me just as long to execute if not longer.

I hope this is just a slip up. What about another mount tool or access to mount menu somewhere else in the system?

You certainly don't need the DFM root context menu to mount!

You can right click on any icon and the mount options are there.

Perhaps you missed it. It is the second from the top. Right under where you are switching root menu to DFM for X11.

Just as DFM, Desktop File Manger, provides mount options, so too does emelfm file manager. Emelfm: select bookmarks, select /mnt. There you will see a list of mount points, right click on one and there is mount and umount for you to choose.

DFM, is much easier and you can basically access the mount list from ANY icon.

In 4.0, there's a .dfmdesk/Apps/System/MountTool link to non-existent /usr/local/bin/mount.lua. (probably already known by everyone but me and removed in 4.1?)

I take it all Back .. I just have to open my eyes and change my way of thinking and find its better than I realised. I love the mount option in emlfm . Thats probably been there a while. Great.

Posted this previously in incorrect forum.

With dfm siag file opens with Beaver.

Changing options/shellcommand makes it open correctly.
Each new siag file still need shellcommand change.

At shutdown error refers to line 86.
Siag files open correctly from emelfm without shellcommand change.
(4.1rc2)
