Timon, your build system assumes stack is going to /usr/local no matter what...

DBO said:
yeah no it has to do with packaging... it seems Timon didnt use the same prefix as the rest of AWN so my packaging failed. Why does awn default to /usr anyhow?
I did use the "development" way of prefix-ing (like the rest of AWN). It stores stuff in /usr/local/. When you create a package, things will be installed in /usr/, so I think the packager (you) should make the changes.
I think the only things that have to be changed are the ".desktop" files. All the other paths are generated by "autogen.sh" icw "configure.in".

About the gconf, it does not seem to react to anything I change. Either icon, either folder to stack, either folder to stack... any ideas?
And i know, it's not real-time but i've already restarted... Gconf says something, the stack applet shows another.

And by the way:
not all gconf-values are "realtime" proof. Some changes give weird effect, so then a restart is required.
If after a restart of AWN it still does nothing, it might be a bug.
"stack_use_symlink" does nothing. Try changing a color -> instant reaction.

I also created an initial readme (ships with the applet):
STACK APPLET for AVANT_WINDOW_NAVIGATOR
=======================================
=======================================
Introduction
------------
This applet can monitor a folder (of choice) for file deletions or additions.
At the same time you can drag files onto the applet, from now on called "stack".
Those files will be linked (or copied (TODO)) in the folder. You can also drag
icons out of the stack, into the trashbin or into some other application. If you
click on an icon, it will launch the default application for it.
Common applications
-------------------
o use a stack to monitor a "Downloads" directory
o use a stack to manage all your projects files in one place
Howto
-----
Q: Choose the backend folder
A: Rightclick on the stack, select PROPERTIES and select a folder in the dialog.
Q: Add a file to the stack
A: Drop the file(s) onto the stack. They will be linked in the backend folder,
or copy/link the file(s) directly to the folder. The stack will notice them.

Q: Remove a file from the stack

trash-applet), or delete it directly from the backend folder.

Q: Select another default icon (either for stack or filemanager-button)
A: Until it is integrated in a nice GUI, you have to launch "gconf-editor", edit
the keys in /apps/avant-window-navigator/applets/. The icon has
to be (for now) a single filename, like "folder-drag-accept", that can be
found in your gnome icon theme. Support for full path specification of icons
will come in the future.

Q: I do not have a clue what is going wrong
A: Launch Awn from a terminal. It gives you more information (most of the
times). Try that first, it might give you a clue already.
Q: I only see a white line instead of an applet.
A: A white line can be caused by two things: the applet does not load, or the
specified icon cannot be found.

My only major complaints are the "show in etcetc" icons file name is too long, when I made the icons smaller it cut off the name in an awkward way. Also I wish we could manage the opacity of the menu that pops out, specifically the boarder color.

You can set the transparency of all the colors!
With the gconf-editor you can set the colors in the format RGBA
for example: 000000FF (black, alpha = 255)

Didn't see the stack.desktop.in file. Now it works :)
ps: my lib-path is "/usr/lib/.." not "/usr/local/lib/..". Maybe it should be dynamic

As I see the stack generates symlinks to the original file.
I can't delete the links. nautilus says: "not on the same filesystem".
Anyway symlinks over filesystems are not a very clever thing.

It just means: I cannot move it to the trash bin. Use the "real" delete (shift+delete) to remove them.
