A new cmd shortcut with icon seems to stay on the desktop I place it on, although I did move it to the centre just before rebooting and it reappeared in it's old position. Gconf perhaps failed to store the new location on the same desktop due to the reboot. Will report if I see any real issue.

VERY useful application, I need to add. Interface a little unintuitive regarding the icon generation and linking to the new short-cut. In presentation the icon tab has equal status to the others, although mostly icon making will serve as a sub-set action of the others. Perhaps it should link off them? Or do you see making unlinked icons as a primary role of the prog?

Bravo!

Thanks for the feedback, just what i need to move foreword with this project, icons selecting was something i tacked on(so not something i really use myself) at the end because it was requested but i couldn't think of a way to implement it properly, i'll see what i cant come up with...
i use it mainly to add sms shortcuts to contacts. lol

delete with the delete tab, indicate the name of the shortcut and what type it is you want to delete (more than one type can be deleted at once)

Hi again

i cant stress enough how much i love this little app.

i have a suggestion/request. would be cool if one could choose a contact as a shortcut. would be nice to just browse contacts and choose the specific phone # you want as a shortcut and also use the current photo associated with the contact as an icon

thx again for all your work

zeltak

Tiboric did mention putting the shortcut on top of the usual contact photo on the desktop and then it just works with one click. I have tried it and it works perfect!

I think he included a photo a few posts back?

Hi Tiboric,

instead of manually putting name and number of a contact shortcut for a 'call' can it made as simple as when we click to make a shortcut for a 'call' it can take us to the default contact list we can then pick the name from the list. if there are multiple numbers it should then ask us to choose the number. After choosing the number it should automatically take the name of the contact as the text on the icon and create a shortcut. We can then add this to the desktop. ditto for email and sms

thanks

Ugh! the newly made icon in fact does not stay on the placed desktop but goes to a default pos on desktop 1 after a reboot.

Interestingly, if I use configuration editor and watch the position coords as I move the icon, they do not change. Furthermore, the icon was shown in the config as being on desktop 4 that is disabled. Editing it to desktop 2 did not help. A permissions issue? I guess that this is what slipkornsaad had, as well as those first phone, sms icons I made.

So, is this something to do with catorise? You use it Tiboric?

bin.set_property("mode",1)
#starts recording
bin.emit("user-start")
