Here is another desktop widget for Fremantle to enjoy - Personal IP Address

This applet displays your current IP on your desktop. Pretty simple. It updates every time your connection changes.

Thanks to zerojay and qwerty12 for testing. qwerty12 also tipped me off to connection watching with the ConIC library.

I would provide a screenshot, but this applet will not run in scratchbox. ConIC does not work there, which makes it pretty tricky for me to develop

Edit Version 0.3-1: displays the interface you are connected to. Attempts to connect or restore connection on click. Changed layout.

Edit Version 0.3-4: fixes an issue where the proper IP was not displayed when connected to cellular network. Thanks to Marius (mgedmin) for the patches!

Edit Version 0.3-5: Hopefully the last version before it hits extras. Added an option in the settings dialog to "Use Compact Layout". User can now switch between compact layout and non-compact layout.

Edit Version 0.3-6 is now in extras! Thanks to all the testers. The product page is http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...al-ip-address/

Edit Version 0.4-1 is in extras-devel. New features include disconnect on click and display network name.

Here's the screenshot. We're looking to replace the icon when Joshua Maverick has the time.

Hmm, looking at the screenshot it looks like the alignment has come off. I will try to fix this.

Version 0.2-2 is building. It fixes the alignment issue that was caused by a mis-sized icon. Hopefully zerojay will update his screenshot when the build is finished.

Thanks!

Cool! Is it possible to list all IPs of the device incase your on both 3G and WLAN for example?

zerojay | # 7 | 2009-10-03, 07:45 | Report

You can't have an internet connection open to both at the same time anyways. It intelligently knows if you are on Wifi or cellular and displays the proper IP address. Showing both just means that you'll always have one saying 0.0.0.0, so...

Oh okey... My bad then.

Edit: I just assumed this to work like in S60 where you could.

You could have more than one IP-Addresses:
Either when you run a VPN or if you use bluetooth networking
for thering or if you have IPv4 and IPv6. Or all at the same time :-)
It would be very nice if it could show all activ IPs.

Can it be made smaller? The icon and the title taking almost half of the widget seems like unnecessary waste of space...
