Slitaz-rolling-core (2014-01-06) does not launch the file manager from desktop right-click menu:

Favorite Applications | Filemanager --> SpaceFM does not launch. Other shortcuts work. Replacing "spacefm" with any other application (example: "sakura") fails to launch the application.

From /home/tux/.config/slitaz/applications.conf:
$ cat .config/slitaz/applications.conf
...
# File manager.
FILE_MANAGER="spacefm"
...

No changes made to the defaults:
$ md5sum /etc/skel/.config/slitaz/applications.conf .config/slitaz/applications.conf /etc/slitaz/applications.conf
d30aecdf345d9f50822648c4b50e17f1 /etc/skel/.config/slitaz/applications.conf
d30aecdf345d9f50822648c4b50e17f1 .config/slitaz/applications.conf
d30aecdf345d9f50822648c4b50e17f1 /etc/slitaz/applications.conf

SpaceFM launches from command line.

The menu launcher worked on the previous slitaz-rolling-core release and broke on a system update. I'm sorry, but I don't yet know enough about openbox or lxde window manager to know where the problem might be to post a fix.

Any suggestions on where to look, please let me know.

Thank you.

The last commit to /usr/lib/openbox/open-folder-menu.sh which is in the openbox tazpkg broke Open Folder/Home.
Download previous working revision:
http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/raw-file/372dd84badab/openbox/stuff/open-folder-menu.sh
Copy/overwrite to /usr/lib/openbox
chmod +x /usr/lib/openbox/open-folder-menu.sh
It works again!

Thanks for the response mojo, but unfortunately that didn't work for me, even logging out and back in. I've pasted some terminal output for your inspection (spaces for legibility).

Am I misunderstanding something?

Mojo, I just re-read your post. I see that the version rollback fixes the "Open Folder | Home" issue, which I hadn't even noticed. I'm looking for a fix to "Favorite Applications | File Manager" in the desktop right-click menu.

Another broken commit.
Download previous version: http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/raw-file/72c2ef5c57e7/tinyutils/file-manager
cp -f file-manager /usr/bin
chmod +x /usr/bin/file-manager

That's the ticket, mojo, thank you! I really appreciate the help. I'm trying to learn Slitaz quickly so I can find the fixes myself and provid help rather than ask for it.

Do I need to post these as bugs?

I'm always here to help, it's not a big deal. No need to make a bug report. I know the developer that made these commits,as a courtesy I will attempt to contact him.
