New user, a couple questions.

Post by Gen2ly »

My first question is that does PCmanFM able to have custom folders in $HOME? I'm using an extended icon theme that supports custom folders in $HOME. I've run the command 'xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update' and the folders are created but don't see the custom icons for these folders. I'm using pcmanfm 0.9.8.

My second question is that I've seen before on the logout screen the ability to be able to suspend and hibernate. I have a fairly basic base install so I'm only getting Shutdown, Reboot, Logout and cancel. What do I need to install to be able to get these.

Side note: Just like to say that I really like LXDE and appreciate all those that do work for it.

To have Suspend and Hibernate buttons, you need the LXSession 0.4.5 that I just released (the support had been in git for some months) and you need upower.

Thanks for the reply Marty, good to know that lxsession is up to date. Will just have to wait a bit for it to reach our repos. Speaking of lxsession is it planned to save and restore sessions (i.e. programs that were open and the locations they were last left as)?
