Hi, I am having some trouble opening a simple message/dialog to the user from a natilus extension..
I have written a simple nautilus extension using python. It adds one MenuItem to the context menu. for testing I wanted to open a simple dialog when the user clicks this menuitem. (The code can be found - with some nice formatting here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3325772/use-gtk-in-a-nautilus-extension-using-python) The code is as follows: --- cut --- import gtk import nautilus import os def alert(message): """A function to debug""" dialog = gtk.MessageDialog(None, gtk.DIALOG_MODAL, gtk.MESSAGE_INFO, gtk.BUTTONS_CLOSE, message) dialog.run() dialog.destroy() class TestExtension(nautilus.MenuProvider): def __init__(self): pass def get_file_items(self, window, files): items = [] """Called when the user selects a file in Nautilus.""" item = nautilus.MenuItem("NautilusPython::test_item", "Test", "Test") item.connect("activate", self.menu_activate_cb, files) items.append(item) return items def menu_activate_cb(self, menu, files): """Called when the user selects the menu.""" for name in files: alert(name) --- cut --- When I click on the menuitem nothing happens... But when I replace def alert(message) like this: def alert(message): """A function to debug""" easygui.msgbox(message) and obviously drop import gtk and add import easygui, The dialog does appear. Can someone tell me why this is ?? Yours, Nils -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
