[e-users] yeah, but...
OK, so I've had several cocktails, it is Friday night - er, ok Saturday morn, after all, so take anything I say with a grain of salt... Disclaimer: I can never use another WM. Not an option. It's e or the command line. Period. gnome, KDE, lxde, anything Ubuntu? nah. been there, done that. I'm hooked on e. On Debian sid of course. Yet some things perplex me. Maybe it's my settings are weird (I use focus follows mouse). Maybe no developer uses or even tests with my settings. dunno. But why, please tell me, when I'm in the file manager, and I hover over a file or directory, a dialog with a massive icon pops up, covering over most everything, that I cannot access or use! When I move the mouse to get there it disappears on me. It's frustrating. Also, why such a huge icon? I already know what it's icon is - I'm looking at it to highlight the file. I probably really want more details about this file or directory, not a bigger icon view. A big icon may be prettier or clearer, but it does nothing to answer my questions... Luckily, I'm a heavy shell and mc user, so it's not *that* big a deal, but still, it's weird by any analysis. Form should always follow function. On the topic of file managers, most ignore one of the most basic desired functions: actually display the entire file (regardless of type) in a pane when you highlight the filename! With a simple filetype viewer plugin architecture, the owner of the filetype can actually code the viewer for you! Thumbnails are great, and needed, but being able to view files in the file manager is *golden* (as in xtree gold-en ;) I hope maybe others who are coding the e file manager think so too... -- Regards, Christopher Barry Random geeky fortune: I cannot believe that God plays dice with the cosmos. -- Albert Einstein -- Time is money.

[e-users] Python-EFL 1.10.0 released
= Python-EFL 1.10.0 release = We are pleased to announce that **Python-EFL** 1.10.0 is now released and available for download. == Download == | **tar.gz** | http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/bindings/python/python-efl-1.10.0.tar.gz | | **tar.bz2** | http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/bindings/python/python-efl-1.10.0.tar.bz2 | | **md5sum** | http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/bindings/python/python-efl-1.10.0.md5sum | | **sha1sum** | http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/bindings/python/python-efl-1.10.0.sha1sum | For convenience the tarballs contain both the Cython sources and generated intermediary C sources, meaning you **do not** need Cython to compile the bindings. Full Cython sources are also publicly accessible from our git repository at: https://git.enlightenment.org/bindings/python/python-efl.git/ More information about the python bindings can be found at: https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/projects/python_bindings_for_efl/ --- = What's New = No major changes have been made since the last 1.9 release. Many of the new features of efl and elementary 1.10 have been ported and the usual has been done in fixing bugs and optimizing. (see **changes.html** in the tarball for the full list of changes) --- = Building and Dependencies = If you have existing Python-EFL or the old split 1.7 release bindings installed, you may wish to uninstall them before compiling and installing to avoid possible conflicts during install and/or runtime. To build the bindings you will need the following libraries: * python (Python 2.6+/3.0+) * efl (1.10) * elementary (1.10) * python-dbus (0.83+) If you wish to compile using the Cython sources: * cython (0.19+) To install the bindings run: (sudo) python setup.py install To generate the documentation locally you need: * sphinx (1.1+) * graphviz (optional) To build the documentation: python setup.py build_doc For more information on available build options see: python setup.py --help --- = Projects using Python-EFL = | **Project** | **Website** | | -- | -- | | **EpyMC** - Media Center | https://github.com/DaveMDS/epymc | | **Espionage** - D-Bus inspector | https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/projects/espionage/ | | **Epour** - BitTorrent Client | https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/projects/epour/ | | **Econnman** - Connman GUI | https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/projects/econnman/ | | **eInfo** - System Information Tool | http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/8289-einfo-system-information/ | | **eAndora** - GUI for Pandora Internet Radio | http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/7365-eandora-elm-pandora-client/ | | **egitu** - Git User Interface | https://github.com/DaveMDS/egitu | ... and many more that cannot fit in this short list. -- Time is money.

On the topic of file managers, most ignore one of the most basic desired functions: actually display the entire file (regardless of type) in a pane when you highlight the filename! Why do I get the feeling you just requested the feature you complained about? Perhaps it's trying to display the entire file, but can only get on icon up? Might just need a bit of tweaking. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. -- Time is money. Stop wasting it!
