Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener

You can run it from the menu as a service with the name you give it as a first parameter, that's what i'm initializing it with.

I like your signature :)

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener

I made a new file, /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.maemobox.bundyo.hostwin.service:

Code:

[D-BUS Service]

Name=IceWM

Exec=/usr/bin/hostwin

Your program no longer complains about being unable to do osso-initialize; there's no errors... but that's the only difference... Should something else happen?

I think the absolute best enhancement you could give me is the ability to run a shell script from within the program. When the shell script returns, the window closes and your program quits.

The second best enhancement would be the ability to have a custom icon associated to the window.

But if you do nothing else, you have helped me immensely!

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener

It wouldn't complain about osso_initialize whenever you give at least one parameter. I'll add the other features whenever my wife gets up and stops Skyping ;)

Redownload the archive - now takes third parameter - a path to start, waits for it to die, then closes. I'm setting an icon with the /usr/share/pixmaps/[first parameter].png, but i think maemo doesn't obey that and instead sets it from the .desktop file. Check older posts for info.

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener

Wow! That is marvellous! Icon works, script executes fast, window closes automatically...

The window text no longer displays, but everything is so fast now, I barely miss it ;)

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener

That's because I'm calling the script before showing the text and its synchronous, so the text shows after closing your script and before closing the program. :) For a very short time.

EDIT: Never wrote a GTK+ application before, if someone cares to give me a hint which signal i should bind to in order to detect that the text is shown, please be welcome :)

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener

Bundyo, could you please make one more change for me?

Either have the text show as soon as the window opens, and before the script is run (that's what I really want), or remove the text parameter, since it doesn't show anyway.

If i find a way to show the label, I'll make another one.
