Affinity revived
#18719 by Timon (1.0000) posted on 3:48pm Saturday, December 29th, 2007
Hello all,
[Q]



I have been away for a while, but now I have some time on my hands.
I decided to give Affinity a shot again.
With some hacks, I was able to create an applet that shows/hides (thus controls) Affinity (see the screenshot below).
[Q]



I could put it in the repo, but it has some things left to do:
* it does not subclass awn-applet-dialog (this one is tricky; I tried it but had issues with the inputshape)
* the applet ships with the full source code of Affinity; so it is a fat lady
[Q]



So, if other developers are interested as well, I can put this applet up to bazaar. It works perfect like this, only it needs some future work.
[Q]

Sometimes awn-applet-dialog isn't worth the effort.
[Q]



The source code itself rarely is the biggest contributor to the size of the application :-)

Sounds like a plan. Once you put it into bazaar I'll probably shove it into my branch also.

I'd love to get it - whether it's in bzr or whatever.
Looks great!

Well I just put it in the bazaar repo.
Please report if any bugs still found their way in...

Don't hesitate to improve the code and commit it to the tree.

Well, I am not an expert on creating Makefiles and stuff, but running "autogen.sh" in the "affinity" directory should do the trick, I guess...
[Q]



I do not know how to correctly integrate this source code into the applets tree.

My suggestion is to remove it from the overall build process (configure.ac and src/Makefile.am) until that gets sorted out. Anyone who wants can go to it's src dir and build it... and someone who's just following the direction on the wiki etc to build awn-extras won't run into an error.

I have no idea if this is a something new from the recent commits for if it's been lurking for a bit. I'll try reverting back and see if I can find out when it happened.

I've reverted to 290
[Q]



autogen.sh seems ok.
[Q]




make distclean
[Q]



and
[Q]



autogen.sh looks ok.
[Q]



So... looking better. My guess is that the make distclean probably is the only major build system issue.

When you make such modification on the build system, do it in a separate branch !

At this point it will not build in my branch. I've removed all the changes to the build system as the build system in my branch has been modified a fair amount by malept which would just be likely to make any issues worse.
[Q]



I will look into putting the standalone build system back into the src/affinity dir for the moment.
[Q]



If I can avoid trying to properly merge it in I will (I cringe at the thought of working with autotools) :-) malept will probably look at it tonight.

malept has worked his customary autotools magic and the affinity applet now integrated into the build system in my branch.
[Q]



Thanks Timon for putting this out there. I know a lot of people really are fond of affinity. And now it can get some more love.
[Q]



Thanks malept for the the build system. I'd just like to point out that malept has been doing a LOT of work on the build system in awn-extra-moonbeam and I think some consideration should be given to merging it into trunk.
[Q]



The commit can be viewed here(for anyone who wants to take a shot at getting it working with the current trunk build system):

I like the latest Affinity very much, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to propagate the "Favourites" area of the pop-up panel. Drag-and-drop does not work. Right click does not display a "properties" dialog.
[Q]



I did get a "no name" icon to show when I placed a directory path in the "/apps/avant-window-navigator/applets/affinity/favourites" key with gconf-editor and it does launch a file browser to the path location. Unfortunately it does not work if the path includes an application to launch.
[Q]



Please describe the method of propogating the favorites area of Affinity.
[Q]



Also is there a way of changing Affinity's icon. I can change the icon that appears in Awn Manager applet list by changing the value of "/apps/avant-window-navigator/applets/affinity/applet/icon" key, but not the icon that appears in Awn itself. The current icon (search) is significantly smaller than my customized desktop theme.
[Q]



Thanks for any help provided.

funny you should be asking this, as I only installed AWN last night with this applet and the favorite's area is the one I can't work out either.

I'm running ubuntu 7.1 if that makes any difference.

I am also running Ubuntu 7.10 but with the Hardy kernel (2.6.24-8). I do not think this makes any difference either.
[Q]



I suspect getting the "Favourite" area working is simple if you know what the key should reference. May be something like a directory path to a directory with symlinks to the programs that you want to appear in the Affinity Applet. I have not tried that yet.
[Q]



Working on something else at the moment.
