[Vala] GLib.debug woe
Under 0.17.0 (latest vala), GLib.debug doesn't seem to do anything. Anything I need to do to make it operational? hand Nor Jaidi Tuah ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

This is independent of the Vala version. GLib 2.32 no longer prints debug messages by default. Set G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all in the environment to get the behavior of earlier GLib versions.

[Vala] custom widget and File observer
Hello everyone! I'm working on a teaching exercise: implementing a LifeStream application (for those not aware: LifeStream is an alternative for the desktop metaphor; more info can be found on the book 'Beyond the Desktop Metaphor' published by MIT Press). The application would consist solely on a Stream Browser providing access to (and only to) user own files, that is: all files within the user dirs (e.g: Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Public, Download and Home directories, recursively off course). Since I don't intent to create a full working environment (yet), but only a stream browser I have come to an issue: how to ensure files not processed within the application (that is files copied/created using other file browsers or the command line shell) are included effectively on the stream data structure. My current bet is placed on the idea I can create an Observer daemon which is somehow notified that any file on the specific 'observed' directories has been accessed. Is this even possible?? The other thing I would like to ask is: I want to create a composite widget for the visual representation of file streams, something in the fashion of iTunes where there is the current file in the center of the screen and at the left of it there's a pile of the previous files and at the right there's another pile of the next files. Can use clutter for this?? Anyone has a working sample willing to share with me? Best regards and thanks for every consideration on this matter, -- Sw.E. D.H.
