POC i dare say

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Onyros, i was able to reproduce the bug on recently reflashed n810. Thanks, i will try to fix this.

yukop4, what does it mean? :)

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

We can only hope he meant Piece Of Cake ;)

Thanks, Mitrandir! Keep up the great job! Telescope + Diablo theme are simply a killer combination for the N8xx.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Telescope and Telescope Launcher applets works fine for me.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

This issue seems to be caused by incorrect syncronization of X11 and D-Bus handlers... And like any other syncronization problem it appears only sometimes and sometimes hides.
I need to build more consistent event subsystem for telescope...

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Actually I had that happen to me a while ago. As it was the first time I thought it was a problem with my N810 and didn't report it -- just uninstalled the taskbar applet and forgot about it :-)

Will try again with the new version...

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Working for me! Thank you very much :D

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Great!

Who came up with this stupid 10-chars limit!?

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Hahaha, I think it's meant to avoid all the "+1", "+2" answers.

Mitrandir, you should really develop something like this meant for the desktop. I'd love to have something as fast to switch between open windows on the desktop.

I've tried Skippy and everything, as I'm using very minimalist WMs (DWM and sometimes Fluxbox on Arch Linux) but Telescope is just so fast and working perfectly that I'd love to use something like it, with no bloat whatsoever and all the functionality.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

There is a desktop version of Telescope (at least for Ubuntu)...

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Can you point me to it, Kroll? I don't seem to find it anywhere. If it's working with Ubuntu it won't be a problem with Arch, I suppose.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

I can't, but Mitrandir can. I know one guy who uses Telescope on Smartq with Ubuntu.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Yes, Telescope can be easily ported to desktop, and one guy have successfully integrated it into mobile ubuntu running on SmartQ tablet.

But, why you don't like compiz or skippy? They are much more tested on desktop :)

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Well, Compiz is overkill for what I want and Skippy is slow, unmaintained for a long time, old!

I bet you you'd have lots of adopters if it is ever introduced at Arch.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Okay, i will try to check how it will work on desktop

What is the packaging system on Arch linux?

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Arch uses its own packaging system, its a ports-like system which builds packages from source. So whatever you can build from source and satisfy dependencies (which will be easy since Arch is a rolling-release, bleeding-edge distro) you can most certainly build in Arch.

It also has its own package manager (pacman), which does the binary package management.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Ok, thanks. Anyway, integrating to Arch is certainly a long-term task :)

I will try to find time to test Telescope on desktop linux. Actually, i have already tried to run it under KDE and it was working well, except the F5 hotkey to show telescope is not suitable for desktop.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Usually I use one of the extra buttons on the mouse (for example forward) or corner of the screen to show open windows in Compiz thumbnails task switcher.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

If you can get it to build on Ubuntu or whatever and provide build instructions and a source tarball, I can make an Arch package, or at least a PKGBUILD so other Arch users could build the package easily.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

This ever going to come out of extras-devel?

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

There are still a few issues in 2.0 branch that i must fix before releasing in to Extras...

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

I see. Would love an update, telescope feels dead...
And waiting for a better menu still.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Maybe my Diablo5ers and Telescope user comrads can help me on this. I only noticed this after starting to use Diablo 5 and Telescope, when I boot up my n810, the startup sound once it shows the desktop is "Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as Linux!". But for the life of me I can't find the audio file. Is this something with telescope or Diablo5? Or have I just been missing this sound byte till recently?

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Did you install any kind of dual booting setup? I think its related to that. The file is a classical audio system test btw, used by various distro during late 90s, early 00s to check if the correct driver had been selected.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Oh that makes sense. Yes I do have it booting from mmc1 with clone on the flash. Is there a way I can tell that to stop. I appreciate the proper pronunciation, but I think I've had enough >.<.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

i suspect this may be of help:

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Haha, i think you have installed some sound package. I don't think this can have something to do with dualboot, because with dualboot the OSes cannot affect each other

Mgamerz, i will try to find time for telescope... You know, Telescope is anyway the hobby project. It would be great if somebody with coding skills could help to speed it up

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

I have no coding skills yet, gonna be taking objective c in spring.
And that remove linux from boot thread is from me, its made from console tools. You just need an emput file in something under /usr... don't remember what.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Yep, this thread did help. Was able to disable and remove wave, less annoyance, and more space :)

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

One request?

I usually only have 2 or 3 windows open at one time.

If it's that low, could Telescope use this command instead of displaying the windows on the screen?

matchbox-remote -next


Please? :)

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

You mean run this command on F5 press instead of showing UI?

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Absolutely!

I think you'll love this idea! :D

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Doesn't it means that you don't need telescope completely? :)
If F5 will call matchbox-remote, then there is no way for you to show telescope's UI, right?

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Yep!

Exactly!

It still would make an awesome feature for those who are using their tablet lightly while having only like 2 or 3 windows currently running at the time. :)

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Honestly, there's really not much of a reason to see Telescope's UI with that few of windows running.

Just my opinion though.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

It would be really cool to cycle through windows using F5 but then there is no way to open the launcher.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Here I made a picture of Telescope I wanna see on my tablet :P

P.S. Icons from Diablo 5 theme for Diablo, release soon!

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

Would be nice to have that icon bar to select categories and replace the category name at top and the dots at bottom. If the category spilled over into a second page it could display the current page number and max page number on the selected icon and tapping that icon would cycle through the pages for that category.

Only problem would be assigning icons to categories and only showing icons for the installed categories. I assume there would be a default icon that is bound to any category it doesn't know about. But if I rename the internet category I should be able to manually bind the globe icon to it.

There is also the problem of too many categories. I only have six but what about those that have more than eight? Do the icons get smaller (not good for finger tapping) or do left and right arrows appear on the ends or does a single icon appear on one end that cycles through icon bars?

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails
 

I loves it! http://http.cdnlayer.com/cf/images/s...nion/love2.gif
