Hi, In Maps I have implemented sharing of locations. So that I can share a location to Weather and Clocks. I do this by using the org.freedesktop.Application.ActivateAction method.
(cast of the functionality: https://bug728117.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=291168) For Weather I activate 'show-location' and for Clocks I activate 'add-location' with my location as a parameter. Right now I determine if the application is available for sharing by checking if I can get an g_desktop_app_info for the APPID. The problem is I don't know how to check if the actual action is implemented. For Clocks I added the action at the same time that I added the functionality to Maps. So if a user has a newer version of Maps than Clocks, Maps will happily say that you can share to Clocks but the action will silently fail. If we treat the release of GNOME apps as one joint release this is not a big big issue since having 3.16 of Maps would mean that we expect the user to have 3.16 of Clocks as well. But it would feel better for me if there were some way for me to verify that the action is there. On Irc Ryan suggested using the Implements= key of the desktop file. But what interface should I use? Implements=share-location? And then check for that interface in Maps? Suggestions welcome Thanks Jonas _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
