[opensuse-gnome] File chooser improvements
by Federico Mena Quintero 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, everyone, I just submitted a patch for gtk2 in openSUSE 11.0, with a backport of the new Tab-completion code for the file chooser. This is working pretty nicely for me so far, but of course I'd like it to get some wider testing :) So, when the updated gtk2 package comes out, I'd really appreciate it if people could be very attentive when typing filenames in the file chooser, using Tab completion or the automatically-suggested completions. Please file any bugs which you may find, even if they are tiny little annoyances :) Thanks, Federico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] xdg-user-dirs-gtk
by JP Rosevear 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hello all, I'd appreciate it if people could give the xdg-user-dirs-gtk a try on factory, especially in non 'C' locales. On login it should offer to create a number of default folders in your local language (and convert existing ones) and create the bookmarks for you in the gtk file chooser. Let me know what you think about installing this by default. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

Fwd: [opensuse-gnome] Volunteer Needed - Torrent Apps for 11.0
by Alan McGovern 28 Mar '08

(forgot to hit reply to all) Hi, > transmission and bittorrent-gtk look the best options to me, they seem > to follow better the GNOME conventions (just works by default, with the > ability to change settings if the user wants to). I finished the refactoring in Monsoon which had been on the books for the last 2 weeks which removed the Druid which appears on first-run. > I am not a prolific torrent user, > but I have never had to worry about port numbers, I just had a .torrent > file and dropped that to the torrent app and it just worked. As long as your client supports upnp/nat-pmp and so does your router, you don't need to worry about ports. Otherwise you will need to manually forward the port through your routers config pages. If you don't, you won't be connectable and so will suffer reduced performance.

[opensuse-gnome] Tagging yelp patches
by Vincent Untz 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Hi, I've tried to tag yelp patches, but some help would be welcome for a few patches: + yelp-desktop.patch Changes the Comment key in the desktop file to be a GenenericName key. We're doing this in many many modules. Does anyone know why? + yelp-suse-20060319.patch It's a huge patch, I'm not quite sure what it's doing. But I know it doesn't apply cleanly anymore. It has been modified quite a few times according to the changelog. hpj, do you have more details? + yelp-2.13.5-use-susehelp.patch This links gnome-help to susehelp instead of yelp. I'm not quite sure why it would be needed. Looking at susehelp, the only relevant use case would be when $DOC_HOST is not localhost. However, I'm not aware of anything calling gnome-help (I believe yelp is generally directly called). + yelp-2.14.0-process-suse-manuals.patch Doesn't apply any more and seems to depend on yelp-suse-20060319.patch. Looks like the patch adds doc from /usr/share/susehelp/meta/. I guess we want to keep that? + yelp-2.18.1-empty-doc-crash.patch Doesn't apply any more right now. I'm trying to reproduce the crash, but I can't. Does anyone remember what kind of empty doc it was? (ie, just an empty file, or some docbook with a basic structure but no content, etc.) (There were two other patches, I've upstreamed one and killed the other one) Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Autorun for opensuse cd/dvd
by Vincent Untz 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hi, Since 2.22, nautilus handle the autorun/automount/etc. for lots of things. This used to be handled by gnome-volume-manager before, but upstream is changing this. We need to patch gnome-volume-manager to not do this job too. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509823 This causes problem like this: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=341035 (and also the fact that two nautilus windows get opened) I'm going to submit a package for this right now because it's a quite visible problem. But there's a problem... Doing this means that another g-v-m patch becomes useless (I'll keep it for now, though). It's suse-autorun.patch. It checks if the media contains setup.sh or media.1/patches and run something with gnomesu if this is the case. I guess this is used for updates. There are two ways to fix this: either patch nautilus to keep in the same way or change the relevant cd/dvd to have a file called .autorun, autorun or autorun.sh. I'd prefer the latter, since it's standardized in the fd.o autostart spec. I'm sure we can fix this for 11.0, but I'm not sure that's enough: are there any media that we can't change to this new autostart method?

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Video Clips...
by Magnus Boman 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hello all! With the release of Beta1, I would like to publish a few video clips to show some off some of the features included. I've started a wiki page on http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Videos/Ideas and your help would be appreciated. It'd be nice to perhaps have some descriptive text for each clip as well, ie something like the following (but much better :-); * This clip shows you how easy it is to connect a bluetooth mouse to your GNOME Desktop. It will show how you how to use the bluetooth applet to bond the device. * This clip showcases the new PolicyKit integration, where you no longer have to authenticate as a superuser for certain Desktop tasks. This particular clip shows you how to change the timezone.
