[11:34] Oh my word, I thought I was the only person on the internet today!

[23:38] BHSPiMonkey: AFAIK no [23:38] Hmm [23:38] you only have the right to read/write your own directory [23:39] Could it be done with a custom QML C++ plugin that gets distributed with the app? [23:39] BHSPiMonkey: you mean your own lib ? [23:40] daker: no, a lib that would be a dependency (e.g. libvorbis) [23:41] BHSPiMonkey: i see so i think you need to ship the lib(.so) with the click package [23:42] always remember your only allowed to read/write the app dir [23:43] That would be unfortunate. I'd just want to be able to ship a frontend to an installed library on the system. Like a media converter that relies on libffmpeg [23:43] If you're only allowed access to the app dir, how could anyone write something equivalent to Shotwell or Banshee? [23:45] using APIs [23:46] http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/apps/security-policy-for-click-packages/ [23:50] Interesting. [23:51] I'm having trouble figuring out how I would even read files that the user wanted me to work with [23:51] BHSPiMonkey: using ContentHUB [23:52] BHSPiMonkey: http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-1.0/Ubuntu.Content.index/ [23:53] BHSPiMonkey: it only support reading the Pictures folder for now & it will be extended for Videos, etc... [23:55] daker: basically, I was interested in writing a frontend for an emulator which exists as a library (libmupen64plus2) in the ubuntu repos [23:56] before you start, you need to check if the libmupen64plus2 package is installed by default on the phone images [23:56] My thought was that I could write a nice pretty Ubuntu-SDK-themed frontend, and in theory it would be able to work on any system where that lib was available [23:56] and i think it is [23:57] daker: why on earth would it be installed by default on any distribution image? [23:57] i don't think it is installed by default on the phone images* [23:57] right [23:58] but I'm not really trying to get it working on phones; hopefully the platform-agnostic nature in which I'd write the frontend would allow for a user to get it working on a phone, but that's a secondary goal [23:59] BHSPiMonkey: i see
