iahello. I have a question about integration app (PyGTK + appindicator module) into AppIndicator applet, so I will be very appreciate for any clues: could anyone tell me, please, how to "append"/"attach" (is it possible itself?) some text right next to some appindicator's icon?10:45
qenseia: that's not possible, it would be against the design document10:54
iaqense: ok, thanks for the answer.10:55
qenseyou're welcome10:55
dashuavish, Is the Banshee monochrome icon working for you?13:47
qensedashua: iirc Banshee has to use AppIndicator in order to use the monochrome icon.13:50
qensedashua: I've written a patch for that, but it's not accepted yet.13:51
dashuaI'm using it now from git13:53
dashuaIt's awesome.13:53
qensedashua: What do you mean? Is there an AppIndicator in GIT already?13:54
dashuahttp://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/46973/screenshot_1_dg7n5E.png13:55
dashuaJust have to set the flag13:55
dashua--enable-appindicator13:55
qensedashua: Since when is that?13:55
dashuaThe icon is not monochrome13:56
qensedashua: I know, I wrote the darn patch. :P But I wasn't told that the patch was included.13:56
dashuaHA13:56
dashuaI guess it is ;)13:56
dashuaWorks great.13:56
qensejcastro!13:56
dashuaThe only reason I was still using RB waiting fro the AppIndicator.13:57
qensedashua: Are you sure you're using the plain git master? I can't find a recent commit of that patch.13:58
dashuaYeah14:00
qenseI can't find it anywhere in the code as well.14:00
dashuaI can't find it either.14:00
qensedashua: Where did you get the code from?14:00
qensegit://git.gnome.org/banshee ?14:00
dashuayeah14:00
dashua1.6 RC114:01
qenseand you didn't apply any patch?14:01
qenseI don't see any RC tag as well.14:01
dashuahttp://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/46974/screenshot_031_iNIKC6.png14:02
dashuaI don't think I applied any patches14:02
qenseIf you've got an AppIndicator you must have. I wouldn't know how you could have got the Application Indicator otherwise.14:03
dashuaNot sure, but I love it ::)14:03
qense:)14:03
dashuaqense, I think I may have tried the 1.5.3 patch, but it did not pass.14:04
dashuaI guess it did.14:05
qenseit must have14:05
qensedashua: I'll take a quick look at the code to see how the icon name is selected.14:05
dashuaI thought it was in master14:05
qenseIt's most certainly not.14:05
dashuaYeah, I see that.14:06
dashuaHumanity has it as banshee-panel14:07
vishdashua: the icon is there , banshee needs to use it14:15
qensevish: The icon name of Banshee is "media-player-banshee".14:17
qensevish: That means that AppInd doesn't try 'banshee-panel', but 'media-player-banshee-panel', which doesn't exist.14:17
qensevish: Would you mind renaming the icon?14:17
dashuahttp://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/46977/screenshot_1_Lu44XX.png14:22
dashuaThere we go14:22
dashuamedia-player-banshee-panel14:23
dashuaThat worked14:23
qensegood14:23
dashuaThx14:23
qensedashua: I assume the large amount of spacing between your menu items is your theme?14:23
dashuaThey all seems to have the same spacing.14:26
dashuaseem*14:26
qenseok14:27
vishqense: ok , np.. i'll do it with the next update , since there was no mention on the bug report from the banshee devs ,i just used the same name as other apps14:28
qensevish: It's a bit strange indeed, something they could have told you about.14:28
qensemaybe they assumed you'd look in the code for the name they use ;)14:28
vishyeah , i forgot to check the bug before pushing the change :(14:29
dashuavish, Do you need a bug?14:29
vishdashua: that would be nice14:29
dashuavish, Ok np.14:29
tgpraveen12qense: u are doing the app indicator for banshee right 14:38
tgpraveen12http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/46977/screenshot_1_Lu44XX.png according14:38
tgpraveen12to that is show notification option really needed14:38
tgpraveen12one would hardly ever change that option.14:38
qensetgpraveen12: That option was added by the Banshee developers.14:42
qensetgpraveen12: I'm reusing the same context menu that's used for the regular status icon.14:42
kklimondaheh, this menu is a perfect just why we should write indicators from scratch :/14:45
tgpraveen12qense: i would still suggest not having that option. maybe someone else should also comment on this.14:46
tgpraveen12i dont think there is any reason to resuse the same options as that of the regular status icon14:46
tgpraveen12app indicators were supposed to be about fixing things. just my 2 cents14:46
kklimondatgpraveen12: I agree, there is no reason to enable/disable notifications from indicator14:47
qensetgpraveen12, kklimonda: In that case I would file a bug against Banshee on GNOME Bugzilla with a request for removing that option from the status icon menu.14:47
qenseOr do you think it is suitable in the regular context menu?14:47
kklimondatgpraveen12: heh, that's my point - if we are just reusing old interface and then make it even worse (by removing right click, tooltips etc.) then there is no reason to do that at all - we'll just piss users :/14:48
kklimondaqense: my opinion is that the only place this setting should be at is preferences menu - and only if we really have to make it a setting. I'm pretty sure that the only reason why is it configurable is that there is no do-not-disturb mode for notifications.14:49
qenseok14:49
qenseI agree with that, but I didn't want to edit the context menu without prior consent.14:50
qensekklimonda, tgpraveen12: However, the whole project is frozen now they've already released the first release candidate for 1.6.0.14:51
qenseI'm even sure whether the AppInd patch will be accepted before the release.14:52
tgpraveen12qense: so its not going to be in lucid?14:55
qensetgpraveen12: I've attached a patch to the Launchpad bug report that's suitable for applying to the Debian -- we sync Banshee -- package with quilt.14:55
qenseIt's up to others whether an exception will be granted for this patch.14:56
kklimondaqense: do you know what is the future of appindicator? is it going to migrate to GtkAction and then be accepted by GTK+ guys or is it going to live as a Canonical-only "feature"?14:58
qensekklimonda: Things similar to the whole Notify OSD and Indicators family are demonstrated in the GNOME Shell mock-ups, so I assume at the very least we'll see an implementation of something similar to the AppInd in GNOME.14:59
kitallisanyone mind looking at this : https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-soc/2010-March/000047.html :)16:20
qensekitallis: I'm afraid you're in the wrong IRC channel for that.16:26
qensekitallis: I'd try #ubuntu-gsoc16:27
kitallisqense, try a /whois16:27
qense?16:27
kitallisi've already discussed it over there.16:28
qenseThey told you to discuss it here?16:28
kitallisi was hoping to find someone interested, here.16:28
qenseAh, in that case I'd advise you to come back on a working day when there are more people.16:28
kitallisoh. alright.16:28
qensekitallis: Mirco Müller, MacSlow on IRC, is leading the development of NotifyOSD a bit. You might want to talk to him.16:33
kklimondawhat if upstream developers decide against "fixing" their applications to follow our new Units Policy? Should we patch them and take the beating?19:05
