Hmm, the idea of supporting both blacklist and whitelist would be good idea an IMHO not very difficult to implement.
This is how is could work:
Both whitlist and blacklist will be supported. But there will be only one of those in transisition.ini. (The other one would be commented out). So, if someone has the line saying
Code:
blacklist=xxx yyy zzz
#whitelist = aaa bbb ccc
then the apps in the list will be blacklisted. And viceversa
However, if some doofus of a user has both enabled, then hildon could revert to a default of accepting only whitelist and ignoring the blacklist.
I think this way both camps can be satisfied. Opinions...?
So i need to add ~100 apps to blacklist. But only one to whitelist.
Or one list acting as whitelst or blacklist depends on forced rotation enabling.
yes i did read your post....i understand you only want one apps/program to force rotate (whitelist)...that is on your device only but what about other people???
they might want 2-3 apps/program to be blacklist so does this mean that they have to add ~ 100 apps/program to whitelist aswell???
blacklist & whitelist are almost the same...the best that i can think to have both is add include & exclude apps/program in force rotation option in CSSU features or CSSU tuner where....
include = enable force rotate
exclude = disable force rotate
you can add apps/program in the include & exclude list inside CSSU features or CSSU tuner without having to manually edit it using x-term/leafpad or etc....this is the same way as blacklist & whitelist but more simple & maybe safe....
I'm the one asking for the option 'desktop_orientation_lock' this night on IRC after cssu update with your 'hildon-desktop' auto-rotate function.
Well, fetched the git, builded a package with version set to '2.2.142-15' to avoid repository overlap.
Installed it, applied the new gconf key (gconftool-2 --type=bool --set "/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/desktop_orientation_lock" "true"), then REBOOTED the device !!!
Tested, ok for the desktop not more rotating, all things goes well, keep u the good work !!!
