Title: Desktop integration feature request. Post by: franlever on December 12, 2009, 07:32:15 pm Hi,
I would like to be able to choose my open dialog since I use fluxbox and sometimes the gtk dialog comes out, sometimes de KDE dialog. I would also like to be able to see the images I am about to send, in firefox or chrome I can see the previews in the gtk dialog, but I can't in the amsn dialog. In the qt4 dialog I can't acitvate the tumbnails (i really tried), so I see only icons. Title: Desktop integration feature request. Post by: kakaroto on December 13, 2009, 02:25:03 am Hi,
what it does is : 1 - it searches for zenity and for kdialog.. if you have one of them, it chooses it, if you have both then... 2 - it checks the environment variable DESKTOP_SESSION, if it's gnome or kde, it chooses zenity/kdialog depending on that, 3 - if DESKTOP_SESSION is 'xfce' it chooses zenity 4 - it then does a 'ps aux | grep gnome' and 'ps aux | grep kde' and checks the number of processes with 'kde' in their name and with 'gnome' in their name... 5 - if the number of gnome processes is more than the number of kde proceses, it chooses zenity, otherwise, it chooses kdialog. What I suggest, since noone is maintaining the plugin is that you send us a patch for it to fix it... maybe just add a if DESKTOP_SESSION == fluxbox.. or maybe you could just launch amsn from a script that does : Code: #!/bin/bash DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome" /usr/share/amsn/amsn about the thumbnails, I have no idea, maybe zenity or kdialog have an option for it.. check their man page and adds it to the launch command.

I launch amsn with a fluxbox hotkey so I'll just add DESKTOP_SESSION="kde" /usr/share/amsn/amsn to the line of the hotkey by now, if I ever have time I'll learn tcl and modify the plug in. I'll also che the man pages of zenity and kde later. If I get something I will post it here. EDIT: I just tried DESKTOP_SESSION="kde" and oddly the dialog is different to the Qt4 dialog I got before. and it's much better, it solves the thumbnail problem. I tried DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome" and got the same gtk dialog with tiny thumbs but no preview (like the one that has firefox or chrome) |
