| cortexuvula | Hi I am new to Ubuntu dev and is using quickly to write a small app. I want to add a splash screen (dialog with a quit and continue button) to my quickly app. Could someone direct me to a tutorial or how to | 13:42 |
| jml | cortexuvula, hmm | 14:22 |
| jml | cortexuvula, good question. | 14:22 |
| jml | cortexuvula, splash screens don't normally have a quit button though. Are you thinking of something like a "Tip of the Day" thing? | 14:26 |
| cortexuvula | medical app that I am writing so on the splash I want to indicate a warning "This app is not ....." so if you disagree the app should quit and agree then continues to main window | 14:28 |
| cortexuvula | yeah something like a modified "tip of the day" | 14:29 |
| jml | cortexuvula, ah ok. | 14:33 |
| jml | cortexuvula, I think you want to make a dialog with two buttons, where one button's action is to quit and the other's is to go on to the rest of the app | 14:34 |
| jml | cortexuvula, do you know how to make a Gtk dialog? | 14:34 |
| jml | rebooting. brb. | 14:35 |
| cortexuvula | jml exactly what I want | 14:35 |
| cortexuvula | i have add a dialog with quickly add dialog warning | 14:35 |
| dpm | cortexuvula, you might also find this tutorial interesting. It's not exactly what you're trying to do, but it touches a range of subjects that should be useful (Gtk dialogs, glade, etc) -> http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/all/diy-media-player-with-pygtk/ | 14:36 |
| cortexuvula | dpm I will have a look at the tutorial | 14:37 |
| dpm | cortexuvula, cool, let us know how it works for you | 14:38 |
| cortexuvula | jml Give me a day to check the tutorial if I do not find an answer I will check back here | 14:38 |
| jml | cortexuvula, sure. I'll be around here during UK work hours (and others will be around too) | 14:39 |
| cortexuvula | Thanks for the help thus far :-) | 14:39 |
| jml | np | 14:39 |

| jackyalcine | How do I make my own documentation for my application? | 15:51 |
| jackyalcine | Like I want it to show up in the Help Viewer on Ubuntu. | 15:51 |
| jml | jackyalcine, I don't know :( | 15:53 |
| jml | jackyalcine, that's a good question though. | 15:53 |
| jo-erlend | jackyalcine, very good question. More like a manual than an API doc then? | 15:53 |
| jackyalcine | Yes. | 15:53 |
| jackyalcine | This way, I could have hyperlinks in applications link to it. | 15:54 |
| jo-erlend | I think maybe you can use the DocBook format for that, but I'm not sure. | 15:54 |
| jackyalcine | Although a good application shouldn't require documentation, the application I'm building (speech recognition training utility) isn't mediocre :P | 15:54 |
| jackyalcine | Do you know where I'd have to put it? | 15:54 |
| dpm | jackyalcine, if you are thinking of user documentation, you can run the 'quickly create ubuntu-application nameofyourapp' and there you should have an example of documentation pages | 15:54 |
| dpm | they are the files with the .page extension | 15:55 |
| dpm | they are in a format called Mallard, quite similar to docbook | 15:55 |
| jackyalcine | Nifty! I'll try it out. | 15:56 |

| dpm | oops, too late, nevermind | 15:59 |
| pratheek_ | hello, how do i get started on devloping apps for Ubuntu ! :D | 15:59 |
| dpm | pratheek_, I love questions with easy answers :-) There you go: http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ | 16:00 |
| pratheek_ | @dpm: OK, thanks for the link ! also, if I had to make my application suitable to work in any other Linux distro (other than ubuntu, like Fedora where .rpm is used) How would I be able to do that ? | 16:03 |
| dpm | pratheek_, quickly, the tool that page talks about, simply puts together a set of other tools that should work in any distribution | 16:04 |
| dpm | then you'd only have to worry about the packaging, which is indeed different for every distribution | 16:04 |
| dpm | quickly only helps you creating .deb files for Ubuntu, which work also in Debian and any derivatives | 16:05 |
| dpm | so for rpm and any other format, you'd have to create the packages yourself | 16:05 |
| pratheek_ | @dpm: oh ok ! :-D, Is there a tool that packages in different formats as per my wish ? | 16:06 |
| === jackyalcine is now known as Guest1073 | ||
| dpm | pratheek_, not that I know of, but I must admit I haven't done research on the subject | 16:07 |
| pratheek_ | ok ! anyother chatrrom where i could get help on that ? | 16:08 |
| pratheek_ | *dpm | 16:08 |
| dpm | Guest1073, here's your example of where to find documentation if you use quickly to create your app with Python, GTK and Mallard: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/816594/ | 16:08 |
| dpm | pratheek_, not that I know of, sorry | 16:08 |
| pratheek_ | @dpm : ok ! Thanks for all the help ! :D | 16:09 |
| pratheek_ | Bye ! | 16:09 |

| psusi | I'm looking for an IO interface to use in a gtkmm app that I can tie to a pipe fd and have a callback whenever data arrives on the pipe, is there such a thing? | 23:58 |
