There should be a directory called "Audio clips" in the file dialog, which is actually the MyDocs/.sounds directory.



You have to create a desktop-file and place it correctly. Have a look here how to do it. On the same page you will find a Qt packaging guide as well.



Haven't tried it yet, but in general you could try to add a debian/optify file and put "auto" there. No guarantee that this will work



Same problem here

This is what I did now (with no success so far):

I created the CountdownTimer.desktop file in the /src directory (I also tried without the Icon line, since I don't have any icons yet):

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=Countdown Timer
Exec=/usr/bin/timer
Icon=myapp
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

This is how my pro looks:

Code:

TARGET = timer
HEADERS += src/form.h \
    src/settings.h
SOURCES += qtmain.cpp \
    src/form.cpp \
    src/settings.cpp
FORMS += src/form.ui \
    src/settings.ui

install.commands = -$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) \
    $(TARGET) \
    \"$(DESTDIR)\"$$MY_BIN_PATH$(QMAKE_TARGET)
install.depends = $(TARGET)
desktop.path = $$DATADIR/applications/hildon
  desktop.files += $${TARGET}.desktop

iconxpm.path = $$DATADIR/pixmap

  icon64.path = $$DATADIR/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps
  icon64.files += ../data/64x64/$${TARGET}.png

# Targets for debian source and binary package creation
debian-src.commands = dpkg-buildpackage \

    $(TARGET)

I use the following command in MADDE to make the package:

Code:

mad dpkg-buildpackage

I can install it, but it won't create the shortcut. Writing timer in the terminal runs the app just fine. I included the package here if someone wants to test it out.

thats where it should be.
And, Ive still not managed to add this as a widget, but I can add it as a shortcut to app on the home desktop.
