hi gang, I found some free time to work on qterminal/qtermwidget again. Some long standing defects are fixed, some minor features implemented, and one bigger and unique feature included too.
I want to make some release of qterminal finally before I'll start to work fully on lxde (in free time of course;)). Let me introduce changes to you first. qtermwidget: - some API fixes (missing const in arguments) - current working directory API created. To get current process cwd. Only for linux 3.x now. Methods for other OS would be more than appreciated. qterminal: - Ctrl+Shift+M toogles menu bar - improved xterm compatibility with -e argument (execute command) - option: open tab with the same working directory - fixed preferences saving on app exit - dropdown mode display fix for DE with panel on top - and finally quite cool bookmarks. More about bookmarks. I think it's (with terminal splitting) one of the key feature now. At least for me. Please look at the screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7865279/qterminal-bookmarks.png As you can see there are some "Local Bookmarks" which are based on environment variables and system info. And much more interesting custom bookmarks saved in file. The file can be anywhere - ~/.config/qterminal by default but it can be saved eg. in OwnCloud/Dropbox directory and synchronized between all your machines. Yes, it's my usecase. Bookmark can hold almost anything. From simple "ssh machine.com" over "cd ~/workdir; sftp machine.com" to complex script snippets settings env, calling almost any commands (oracle sqlplus handling over various vpn connections in my case). That's fine. And I like it ;) But it brings another topic. I have various requests in my mailbox and qterminal issue tracker. One for all: https://github.com/qterminal/qterminal/issues/42 Summarized into sentence: "If I have understood correct QTerminal is the replacement (to be) of LXTerminal, QTerminal currently has about 3x the memory footprint of LXTerminal." That's correct. I've never thought about qterminal as lxterminal replacement. On the other side - it's quite easy to create a really light "xterm" clone with limited set of features (no tabs, no search, no bookmarks, no menu...) as a part of lxqt project. Do you think it's a good idea? thanks, petr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
