Hi madmax

The /tmp/tcloop/xfe/usr/local/share/applications/xfe.desktop file is located inside the extension. Extensions use a squashfs
format which is a read only compressed file system. The /usr/local/share/applications/xfe.desktop file was merely a link
back to the file in /tmp/tcloop so it was still read only. By copying the file from the read only file system to a writable
directory the file can be edited and saved in that directory.
The reason for using busybox cp is GNU cp (if installed) refuses to overwrite the link.
--- Quote ---Shouldn't this new edited .desktop file be able to survive a reboot, just like the original one did?
ie: add to filetool.lst would not be needed. Or am I missing something?

/usr/local/share/applications/ gets rebuilt from scratch every time you boot, as does most of the file system.

Send a PM to GNUser to alert him to this issue. Include a link to this thread.

Indeed ...
A concept I still have to finish wrapping my head around.
TinyCore's main strength, practically indestructible.

Done.
Thank you very much for taking the time to explain all this to me.
Have a good week-end.
Best,

@madmax - I will repackage xfe for Pure64 when xfe 1.44 comes out. I'll make sure the wbar issue is fixed.

Please add it to the CorePlus 10.x repository also.
Thanks in advance,

Hi GNUser
I fixed and sent in the 32 bit version for you. I'm guessing you packaged it on a non Tinycore system? The user:group were
set to 1000:staff instead of tc:staff. It didn't break anything I'm aware of, just an observation.
