Hello PackRat and VastOne and hakerdefo and everyone
Anyone do wofi?
I have worked my options to wofi command, wofi -n -i -O alphabetical -S drun,run

The scrot select hole Option is interesting.
Having put it on a Launcher, use got me accustomed to the dual selections.

scrot 1.10-1
has a new default for .png screencapture.
The pmss screenshooter tool uses scrot png default;
so no change is necessary for the pmss script to work, but
the v.1.10 default png is a smaller file than previous default.
Not necessary but optional values, the scrot commands are the Options,
for my options,
for every line that is a scrot command is made the following changes for using pmss scrot options .
/usr/local/bin/pmss

where-ever is scrot found in pmss:
Added the --compression value for png as -Z 1
Any -c where there is no -d i took out the -c
i don't believe in -b; took out the -b
In the scrot Entire screen shot
is substituted imlib2_grab just because it can;
i do like the cursor in full desktop shots, so
that imlib will likely become scrot with pointer and delay options.
Looking into the pmss script is really a treat. Thanks.

In /pmss function upload_check, did an option (?)
on line 138
to the end of the line added a "&" character, key ampersand
xdg-open "${NAME}" &

Hello Everyone
The previous screenshot is method one practice onto a mini mini spinning usb drive 8G. familiarize with the method one using a live system to install vsido img, in that case the entire 8G[7.3.] 
Second trial method one onto a hdd, as suggested, using small partition for the compressed vsido archived file. started with an hdd having a vsido installation on the entire drive. made small partition. wiped vsido 2017. let remain the swap partition. unpack from small partition to vsido partition. The two trials were aimed for clean ext4 partiton,, though, to make double sure,, was added to the fsarchiver string -o overwrite and ,mkfs=ext4.  no hitches. Both times. Did that do double work? or double sure(?) sure is quiet without the -v.
Get it booted up once and update, lucky enough, upgrades grub and kernel. all set. wireless too, but it is wired.

connman gtk shows an icon top-right,but it does not need to run; the tray icon can be off.
using style garnet with the active/inactive colors reversed.

Hello VastOne and PackRat and everyone
Birth: -
"Unknown"
You get a date when here get a -.  (?)
In the 2014 post, VastOne stated count on two fingers [twice] in six years.  I will add here a since, once in seven years, to that.
The long story is, I got started with vsido around 2013live-2014install. one hdd failure i switched to Lite vsido and machine change.  Machine made it through two python/ perl escapades that, i did read, shut down a lot of machines. I was proud to make it through those ; But,, a xorg upgrade killed it later.  (RE)Installation brought machine to the xorg updates,,, and machine quit every time after the xorg upgrades. I switched install attempts between Lite and stock regular several times, finally got one to succeed with xorg and beyond.  here is the date of that re-install with stock vsido. now another python change in its history. An excuse for blather, thanks for the pointer to stat birth:date fun.   2019-10-31 11:26:51 
mail, apt, and dpkg logs begin that date 10-31., so i think that is it. (?) 
   

Thank you for vsido.
