creating seperate dbus-tubes in a single instance of a shared actvity
Hi all, As far as I can understand from the reading is that when we share an activity, a new channel is created for that activity and in this channel a new dbus-tube is created, through which the data transfer can take place between the xos/laptops. Now, what I want to ask is that is there any way to create more than one tube in that channel so that something like parallel data transfer can take place between the activities? Also, in case there is a way to do so , then how can we distinguish between these tubes? Kindly give your suggestions. Also, kindly let me know if I am wrong somewhere in my understanding of the concepts. Kind regards, sumit ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] activity not getting installed with sugar-install-bundle
Hi Tomeu, Thanx a lot for your reply and for all the support you have given throughout the development. Hi, you need to run that command from the terminal activity.

Re: Getting a gtk.image from the get_preview function
I tried it using the self.canvas.window and the self.window both of them , but they still give the same error. On a separate note, would it be a good idea to use the hippoImage itself as the image of the button, I mean wrapping it into a hippobox and then using that box as the image of the button? Actually we had planned to start the deployment/testing of the project from tomorrow, everything else is almost in sync with tomorrow's deadline except this problem, so may be I should use this concept to solve the immediate purpose, and would try and find a better soln after meeting tomorrow's deadline as we will proceed further with the project.

Can I use the keep or title_set_by_user key of metadata to store info about my activity
Hi Tomeu, This is in continuation with our chat yesterday. The write/report activity would be having 3 states , I mean whether the user is working on a blank document , designing a new template or using a previously designed template. So, what I wanted was to save this state as well while saving the activity using the write_file method, so that when I resume my activity from the journal , i should switch over directly to that state where the user closed the activity. The only idea I was getting to achieve that was to save the state as a number in the metadata file and then retrieving it from read_file fn , however as I cannot add new keys in 0.82 version as they are lost over restarts of xo, so I was planning to use the keep or the title_set_by_user key of the metadata as I didn't find them getting used anywhere. However, I am not sure whether these are used for some important work internally by sugar. What do you think would it be safe to use any of these 2 key values. Is there any other way to achieve this other than this on 0.82. I think I can use the hasattr fn to distinguish b/w 0.82 and 0.84 and do so only if it is a 0.82 version while adding a new key instead in 0.84 version. Kindly give your suggestions.

Is using the datastore.find() function reliable and safe?
Hello all, I want to save files from my activity so that I can retrieve them from the future instances of my activity and also want them to be visible in the journal. So, I am planning to save them in the datastore. And is planning to retrieve them using the datastore.find() function in the future instances of my activity. However, the following link mentions -- http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Almanac/sugar.datastore.datastore that using the function is not very reliable except with the activity_id key. As, I want to access all such files with a special property which I saved from the previous versions of the activity, I can't just rely on the activity_id thing. So, what can be a good solution for it. Would using the find function be fine. Kindly give your suggestions. Just repeating my requirements- 1. The files should be visible in the journal. 2. They should be accessible from within the future instances of the activity. Regards, sumit ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Hi all, I am facing a sort of weird problem at this point. On my xo, my usb drives are not visible in the journal. I mean the icons at the bottom of the journal are not visible. However, to my surprise my usb drives(pendrives) are mounted and I can access them from the terminal. I have tested it with 3 pen drives so I don't think its due to my pen drive. Moreover, these pen drives are not even visible in the objectChooser widget when I invoke it through any of the xo activities like write or paint. Can anybody please suggest me a solution.

Is there any way to do so. I got this link- http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Copy_to_and_from_the_Journal#Copy_from_Journal_script , but I think the names of files are hashed and I won't be able to recognize my file in this case.

Re: [Sugar-devel] help about the get_preview function of activity.Activity class to take screenshots
Hi Tomeu, Thanx a lot for the function. I would be using it as of now while creating the infrastructure for the activity, would try to provide support to both the new as well as the previous builds. I would be testing the function on my 0.82 build soon. Moreover, I am also planning to move to 0.84 Soas build , but as I am not having access to a wifi-system and it needs atleast a day to get the developer key, so it would take some time to setup the environment on my xo, till then would be using this function. Moving on to the sugar 0.84 would keep us in a better sync with the latest release of write-63 and further development of the activity. Regards, sumit. You are asking good questions ;) In Sugar 0.84, the only way to get a screenshot of activities was asking the X server for the current contents of the screen. This was pretty slow and also required that the activity was covering the whole screen during that operation (so the user couldn't invoke the frame, nor switch activities, etc.). In Sugar 0.84, we upgraded to a newer version of gtk+ that adds API for redrawing a window in a pixbuf. This is faster and can be done at any moment. But the abiword shipped with 0.84 did things a bit differently so that gtk+ API didn't worked properly, then Martin Sevior kindly implemented an additional function that did the job in the meantime. This is the slow method for retrieving previews as was implemented in the s.g.w.Window class: def get_canvas_screenshot(self): if not self.canvas: return None window = self.canvas.window width, height = window.get_size() screenshot = gtk.gdk.Pixbuf(gtk.gdk.COLORSPACE_RGB, has_alpha=False, bits_per_sample=8, width=width, height=height) screenshot.get_from_drawable(window, window.get_colormap(), 0, 0, 0, 0, width, height) return screenshot Regards, Tomeu ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: [Sugar-devel] help about the get_preview function of activity.Activity class to take screenshots
Martin and Tomeu,
Martin, thanx a lot for such a detailed answer. I have got what you want to
say. But the problem with me right now is that I think the get_preview
function is available only in the latest release of sugar 0.84 because I am
on 0.82, and my xo gives an error -- Activity module does not have an
attribute get_preview . Is it so that the function has been added after
0.82 ? If yes, then is there any way on 0.82 build to take screenshots
programatically.
There is one strange thing which I am encountering right now. Though the log
gives an error that get_preview function is not present but when I ran write
63.xo on the machine ( after replacing sugar.graphics.colorbutton with
gtk.colorButton in toolbar.py ) , closed it and then again tried to restart
the activity from the journal , I was able to see the following preview
which I am attaching with this mail, that was what was there on my activity
screen before I closed it.
Though I am not very much sure, but this should have happened because of the
save function in activity.Activity class , here is the link-
http://api.sugarlabs.org/sugar.activity.activity-pysrc.html , which calls
the get_preview function of sugar, which is a bit contradictory, if we
consider the result of the logs. Am I wrong in the way I am understanding
this? Kindly give your comments.
Regards,
sumit.

Hi Sumit,
I just fixed the example code in the pyabiword module of abiword to
give an example
of how this works.
The important line in this example is:
i.props.pixbuf = abi.render_page_to_image(1)
The converts page number 1 to a GdkPixbuf. Once you have a GdkPixbuf,
in this case in
a Gtk.Image you can convert it to whatever format you wish.
From the PyGtk reference manual http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/
you convert this to an image with:
http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gdkpixbuf.html#method-gdkpixbuf--save
So if you wanted the GdkPixbuf directly you would do:
PagePixbuf = abi.render_page_to_image(1)
PagePixbuf.save(filename,png)
Where filename is the name of the file you wish to store to.
Cheers!

this image later to the user in my activity. So, what I want to ask is to
how to load this information in the form of an image later on
programatically. Can we load it using the gtk.image widget and what is
the
right procedure to save this information.
Regards,
sumit

Proper use of self.set_canvas function
Hi everyone, I would like to discuss about the set_canvas function of the activity.Activity class, I can understand that it is used to define the current working area of our activity. But , I want something of the sort that when I start my activity the current working area would be a gtk.scrollingwindow from which the user can select from the available options and then when he clicks on a particular option , the current working area should become a gtk.Vbox containing other widgets where the actual game will be played. Now, when the user again wants to select from the available game options, the current working area should become the gtk.Scrollingwindow and so on... So, should everytime I be using the set_canvas method in order to switch b/w the 2 states or is there any other option.
