The recented-used file desklet displays the latest recently used files
according to your ~/.recently-used XML file.
The
files are displayed as a toolbar that expands a you hover over the
icons inside of the toolbar. When you left click on one of the
icons it will launch the proper application to handle that type
according to the GNOME url handler.
A right click on the image will bring up the configuration menu
where you can change the orientation and the number of items that show up.
Yeah, we now have icon theme support built into the Rubar! Look at those nice SVG's yes, they work too!
Yeah, I use Gentoo, so here's the
ebuild.
Simply untar into your $PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory like so:
cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY; tar -zxvf recently-used-*.tar.gz
Then emerge it like this:
emerge x11-plugins/recently-used
Ta da!
Here's what I've found is the best way to debug your gdesklets:
Test all of your extra classes with simple Test python scripts. For
the Recently Used desklet I created all of these:
Each of these test scripts tests a different aspect of the critical
python files that I was using. Once I tested those and made sure they
were working how I expected I could move on...
Testing the main script isn't that hard really. If you know
that all your imported scripts will work then you can realiably test
this main script by running everything through the command line. The
library files were very well done and will usually print out any
errors that you've made.
Create the Sensor installer
clarkbw@bryan recently-used $ ./pack_sensor RecentlyUsed
Install the desklet Sensor
clarkbw@bryan recently-used $ ./Install_RecentlyUsed_Sensor.bin
Start gdesklets
clarkbw@bryan recently-used $ gdesklets &
Start your Display
clarkbw@bryan recently-used $ gdesklets recently-used.display
If something went wrong then you'll see output spew out onto the
console window. Maybe you have to trigger your bug, go play with the
Desklet and come back to the window to see if anything changed.
