Re: PyPackager
 

Hi,

0) Thanks :)

1) You need to add your icon to /usr/share/pixmaps/youricon.png and declare it in the /usr/share/applications/hildon/nedit.desktop take a look at the pypackager desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon/pypackager.desktop

2) I don't think it 's a problem.

Re: PyPackager
 

1) see 2 :-)
2) I got this information on the maemo developers list a few days ago (and have since fixed MClock, but not yet uploaded...): Your problem is "that the WM_CLASS provided by your application window and the one specified in its .desktop file do not match. Therefore Maemo Task Navigator cannot match what was started from the menu and the window the application opened. [...]
Gtk sets WM_CLASS automatically to the application (binary) name, so this is usually only a problem for non-Gtk apps, e.g. SDL games."

Therefore, just make sure to set the X11 WM_CLASS inside your application to the same value that you wrote into yourapp.desktop file.

Re: PyPackager
 

Important: this explanation only suffices for GTK apps! If someone has a SDL or pure PyGame app, it won't work. See details in my previous post.

BUT: if you're already mentioning that icon... :) Could you add a feature to PyPackager that would automatically take this icon (or let me manually select an icon), then encode it in the debian package? This way, PyPackaged debs could have their proper icon instead of the default one :D

Thanks again!

Re: PyPackager
 

Thanks! This make sense. I'll have to poke around the Nedit to see what the WM_CLASS is.

Thanks!

You can do it now ... :)

Re: PyPackager
 

Hey...Great stuff! I need to start using your packager soon to package ukmp.

Another feature request would be if you have the time to do it, is:
Can you add support to upload the package to the extras repository?
There are instructions on how to do it, but it's been too painful for me so far (as an osx user) to do it (mostly because there is no dedsign for osx). After that, it would make your application a one-stop place to create maemo applications and submit them for the general public to consume. Also would make it easy for people to create updates of their applications.

BEAUTIFUL - thanks!

Really great stuff.
Just downloaded, installed and testing.
Opening files system tree to save a file in PP
/usr/bin hangs on my N770 for 20-30 sec.

Re: PyPackager
 

Keeps getting better! Thanks my icon now shows up in application manager... perfect!

Darius why are you opening /usr/bin? I usually set up a directory like /home/usr/sources and copy only my files directories into respective subdirectories. Pypackager would then point to /home/user/sources root directory. If the file you want to backup is in the bin directory then copy it from xterm to your /home/usr/sources/bin/ directory. Thats kind of a merge tree. Hope i understood your question right.
