Title: issue opening a file from "emelfm" program
Post by: JunkYard on June 13, 2026, 02:37:55 PM: greetings!

So i have a PNG or JPEG file that i want to open from emelfm

I double click on the file and a message comes up at the bottom of the screen with

sh: fl_picsee: not found
---end of out put---

Post by: mjmouse on June 13, 2026, 11:25:57 PM: It should be in flpicsee.tcz

Though I haven't tested it. My two tinycore installs are x86_64 and armhf, and flpicsee seems to be only shown for x86 and aarch64.

Unless of course you get the cpp script for it and build it yourself and put under ~/.local/bin

Code: [Select]
flpicsee.cpp:779:25: error: 'abs' was not declared in this scope 779 | if (abs(dragx - Fl::event_x()) < 3 && abs(dragy - Fl::event_y()) < 3) {
If I add "#include <cmath>" or "#include <cstdlib>" or "#include <stdlib.h>" the build suceeds, but flpicsee segfaults

I don't think flpicsee is a requirement:

That's coming from a script, not emelfm.

You can change the default image viewer it uses. I think it's
something like Right click file name->Properties ....

But that box with the error code is now missing!
I can load a text file but not an image file

You already installed gpicview:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=28161.msg182747#msg182747

Code: [Select]
Start emelfm Click on the Configure button Select Filetypes Under Description select Image Files Click Edit Click Add In the Command field enter gpicview Click Ok Under Actions select gpicview Click Set Default Click Done Click OK
gpicview is now the default image viewer.
Double click on an image file and it should open automatically.

Sure, but it would be good if we could have flpicsee for x86_64

flpicsee posted to armhf and x86_64 repos.

Thanks to @MikeLockmoore for fixing things.
