RE: More on the menu spec test suite
Wrt 4) and 5), this is intentional. I'll fix 3). See e.g. http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#query-algo rithm : "Note that an entry that is included in a menu but excluded again by a later is still considered allocated (for the purposes of ) even though that entry no longer appears in the menu." The rationale for this is to make menu editing easier: A menu entry can be removed by adding a single , and likewise, a submenu can be removed with a single . If the entry was considered "Unallocated" after being explicitly excluded, removing an entry this way would effectively move it to an "unallocated" menu instead of truly removing it, which many people considered confusing.

vio-0.0.1 / gftp-agent 0.0.1
hi, here is a first prototype of libvio and gftp-agent: http://www.scheinwelt.at/~norbertf/devel/vio/ screenshot of gftp-agent: http://www.scheinwelt.at/~norbertf/devel/vio/vio_gftpagent_screenshot.png for testing install both packages and run the cli client vio-client vio-client shell vio-client ls ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ... will auto-launch gftp-agent, pop up the password-dialog, the systray icon (changing colors on activity) etc... the client side interface of libvio is declared in vio.h the agent side interface in vio_agent.h if you want to see how to use the client/agent API have a look at: vio_client/vio-client.c (the cli client) vio_agent/vio_file_agent.c (the agent for the "file:" protocol) the job handlers of the multithreaded gftp-agent are defined in gftp-agent.c (it currently uses gnome-vfs as ftp-client library - i didn't want to write my own yet... norbert ___ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
Announcing Wasabi - Unifying Desktop Search - feedback needed
This email have been sendt to: desktop-devel-list@gnome.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] , xdg@lists.freedesktop.org * In Short: Wasabi is new project with the goal of creating a unified, platform independent, specification and api for desktop search engines (and later metadata services). We have worked together with several search-projects and now have a proposal ready for public evaluation. In short: we need feedback from application developers - that means you. * Providing Feedback: I suggest you start by reading the proposal at http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiAbout :-) Post any feedback in this thread. I shall try to the best of my effort to answer any questions, but have patience with me if I'm flooded (there are four big mailing lists involved here). In the case I can't find time to answer everyone I promise that your voice will still be heard and taken into serious consideration before we finalize anything. The public evaluation period ends at 2007-03-06 (one month from now). * About Wasabi Wasabi is currently going on at the xdg mailing list at freedesktop.org. As already stated it is an effort to create a unified framework for desktop search- and metadata services. Our first target will be search part of things, but it has ties into the metadata part that we will attend to as soon as the search spec is stabilizing (fx. like standardizing metadata filed names). The apis will be dbus apis that is both suitable for "direct use" and bindings for your favorite toolkit. Where appropriate we will adopt known standards, but also keep in mind that we are defining a *desktop* specification and not a spec for generic database servers in networked environments (there are several of these already). The search spec was created with input from various projects including Tracker, Strigi, Beagle, Pinot and Recoll. I would specifically like to thank Magnus Bergman for his very insightful comments. * FOSDEM 2007 I will be doing a talk on Wasabi in Brussels at FOSDEM2007. At that time we'll still be in the evaluation period for the search spec. Cheers, Mikkel ___ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg

MPRIS Media player Remote Interfacing Specification
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Work had begun a while ago for this spec but it had been dropped due to high mail traffic and difficulties to track the discussions over like 10 mailing lists. The purpose of this spec is to define a common dbus interface for media players called org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer with basic player and tracklist control methods and signals. I've contacted for now Amarok, bmpx, xmms2 and I'm working on the VLC dbus interface. There are draft interfaces defined here: http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/index.php/Media_Player_Interfaces http://wiki.videolan.org/DBus-spec http://bmpx.beep-media-player.org/site/MPRIS_Interfacing_Specification We need a dedicated mailing list, I can create one at videolan.org, but it should rather be at freedesktop.org.
