That sounds painless.

xnview.uci can also convert to xpm ("save as")

Can be useful to make a single how to for beguiners to make a uci..to share in a dsl format.

we can easily do a uci file with the 4 steps of the wiki (create a uci extension) but have serious problems to create the user.tar.gz.file.(in my case..) In the official damn small linux book there is a 4 steps to create a uci but its depend on the understanding of the others dsl formats ...

can help to make a user.tar.gz...

1) I have the app installed into /opt in the app directory. and works ok . example /opt/firefox.es

2) I have made a menu and icon to access. and works ok

3) how i can do a list of user files ?

4) how i can add dsl files to list

5) how i can do the user.tar.gz

6) how i can make a executable file to copy icons and menus (its necesary?)

7) how to make the uci ? with the line command of the wiki or the official damn small linux book..

thanks..

After putting the full path and names of the files you need for user.tar.gz in a file named "files", this works for me:

Code Sample

$ sudo tar -T files --no-recursion -zcvf /opt/myapp/user.tar.gz
$ sudo mkisofs -R -hide-rr myapp/ | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /tmp/myapp.uci
