        gtk.main()

prog=Recorder()
prog.run()

adding dbus service
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/phone_recorder.service

Code:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=com.misc.phone_recorder
Exec=/usr/local/phone_recorder/bin/phone_recorder

and finally editing of systemui.xml
/etc/systemui/systemui.xml

add this inside powerkeymeny tags.

Code:

 <menuitem priority="750" name="Record">
    <callback service="com.misc.phone_recorder" path="/com/misc/phone_recorder"
    interface="com.misc.phone_recorder" method="record" bus="session"
    autostart="true">
     <argument type="boolean">true</argument>
    </callback>
 </menuitem>

and reboot.

ps. my very first python code ever, so most likely quite bad code

pss. also create dir /home/user/MyDocs/record/
with write privs to user or modify that file location.

FWIW, if you create an osso.Context within the app, add the customary "#! /usr/bin/env python2.5" to the top and mark it as executable, then you don't need the script to start it.

Great! Would it be possible to share ideas with original author? The approach using Power button and lossless audio has great appeal!

I dont get it. I just saw and installed it from Application manager. But after installation there was no shortcut to it in menu.

So unisntalled Python 2.5 that i installed yesterday, uninstalled Recaller. Now i can not find it in Application manager, even with a search?!?!?

addee | # 97 | 2010-01-22, 13:35 | Report

I click add Recaller Widget shortcut, but nothing happends. I only have one panel visible. Bugg?

Tried making all panels visible but no change. It refuses to create the Widget/shortcut on the panel.

Reboot, then try again.

Of course, I'm reading

It looks to me like the FLAC encoder is new since PR1.1, at least I didn't see it before.

Then when we're done, we can throw some lipstick on that pig.
