Re: [sugar] Announce: Screencast activity.
We wrote a screencasting library a while back. It might be useful to whoever shepherds this type of library to compare implementations. Here is what the sample activity does with the library: - Click to start recording a screencast. - Type something witty that you want recorded. - Click to stop recording. - Quit the activity. - In your journal will be a small ogg file with your screencast. - Optional audio narration. Not tightly coupled with screen events -- this could be improved. - Designed as library for other activities -- should be plug and play.

Re: [sugar] Feedback on Measure (was Re: Another pass through some basic Activity test results)
Do you need to do that for each window? Why don't you just listen for that signal in just the main activity window and stop everything when gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_FULLY_OBSCURED and resume when otherwise? Full screen modes in Record completely obscure the main activity window. We don't just listen for visibility events on the video windows because sometimes these are fully obscured (when transcoding, for example). Therefore we listen on both the main activity window and the video windows, and in consultation with the activity's current state (fullscreen, normal, transcoding), decide if Record is the current activity. I've never fully understood the rationale for why the sugar api does not alert activities as to when they are active or not, thereby saving all activity authors these hassles. ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
Re: [sugar] Another pass through some basic Activity test results
In Sugar, there's always one and only one active activity. You can see which it is by looking at the icon below the XO in the favorites view or by looking at the selected activity button in the top frame. This is the activity that will be brought to the front when you go to the Activity zoom level. I'm guessing Measure uses its active activity status to decide if it should update itself or not, but from earlier emails I think the desired behavior is rather to stop updating while the activity window is not visible. For this, the activity author can use the information that the window manager (or is it X?) provides to each top level window, in pygtk: http://pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkwidget.html#signal-gtkwidget--visibility-notify-event Just listen for that signal and check the value of event.state, it can be one of gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_FULLY_OBSCURED, gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_PARTIAL or gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_UNOBSCURED. You will want to stop updating the screen when fully obscured and update it otherwise. Faisal, could you please update the almanac with this info?

Re: [sugar] Feedback on Measure (was Re: Another pass through some basic Activity test results)
Is there any particular reason why Record does not use a single window? Record's GUI overlays widgets on top of video windows. This is how we create the picture in a picture effect (using XV in a window) and also how we add the fullscreen toggle button. GTK doesn't play well with overlapping widgets -- gtk.Fixed() doesn't guarantee Z-order. So we use a stack of gtk.Windows without decoration. Unfortunately, when we put xv video into a widget (e.g. gtk.DrawingArea with a gstreamer xvimagesink) into a gtk.Fixed, that widget's video always displays on top of other widgets, regardless of its z-order. It was recommended at one point to create a new version of gtk.Fixed that guarantees z-order, but the use of gtk.Window was well underway and works. ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar

Re: [sugar] [Activities] Panorama activity
It would be great to incorporate more recording methods into Record. We've plans to also incorporate stop-motion and time-lapse into record also. It could become a behemoth of an activity though... perhaps it might benefit from being broken into different components (a.k.a. tamtamization)? As for Record's UI, it uses windows to allow for its custom fullscreen mode and for embedding widgets over video (seen, for example, in the picture-in-picture modes and the info button). On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 10:26 AM, Nirav Patel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't know about integrating it into Record, but the other issues are fairly easy to resolve. I wrote a Python module over the summer to interface v4l2 cameras that returns Pygame surfaces. Capturing images is near instant (~20ms for 640x480 RGB). Autogain and autowhitebalance can be disabled using v4l2 camera controls. There is support in my module for the hflip and vflip controls, but adding additional controls is trivial. Alternately, we could just use a little utility in C to access any v4l2 camera control. Since the module I wrote is for Pygame and is eventually going to be cross platform, adding v4l2 specific stuff to it is probably not the greatest idea. It may just be better to skip sticking it in Record and make a standalone activity, since Record seems to have plenty of issues on its own without a big new feature.

[sugar] internationalization problem
Trying to run Record in Spanish is causing a problem. I will outline the
steps which create this problem. Hopefully someone can clarify where the
bug is.
In Constants.py, we define the following string:
#TRANS: photo by photographer, e.g., Photo by Mary
istrBy = _(%(1)s by %(2)s)
Which was picked up when we ran python genpot to create Record.pot.
A translator kindly translated Record.pot into Spanish to create es.po:
#. TRANS: photo by photographer, e.g., Photo by Mary
#: constants.py:99
#, python-format
msgid %(1)s by %(2)s
msgstr %(1)s por %(2)s
Then, we created Record-49.xo by running python setup.py dev and python
setup.py dist in the sugar shell. This creates and populates the locale
directory with lots of files.
Then we install the program on an xo and run it.
Then we take a picture, and that process tries to assign metadata to a
datastory entry, but crashes with this stack trace:
-- 371 recd.title = Constants.istrBy % {1:stringType, 2:str(
recd.recorderName)}
recd.title = None
global Constants.istrBy = '%(1) por %(2)'
stringType = 'Foto'
global str = undefined
recd.recorderName = u'dude face'
...
type 'exceptions.ValueError': unsupported format character 'p' (0x70) at
index 5
What is strange is the line Constants.istrBy = '%(1) por %(2)'
This string appears to have lost its s at the end of the (1) and the (2)
(which we can see were included in the es.po file above). I am not sure how
this would have happened, but it does seem to make some sense of the error
(the p character being the first thing interpreted after where an s was
expected.

Re: [sugar] internationalization problem
Sometimes translators have to include variables in their translations.
Most po files have their source strings set up using just %s as the variable
name.
test = hi there %s
test % 'erik'
'hi there erik'
However, the order of those variables might be different in different
languages. That is why we set up our strings like this:
test2 = hi there %(1)s and %(2)s
test2 % {1:erik, 2:michael}
'hi there erik and michael'
The translators successfully copied these variable place holders into their
strings. That was not a problem for the translators.
The problem is that the variable names in their .po files don't come through
the process of making a .xo package. %(1)s becomes %(1). This causes
gettext to break.
We just tested using %s for all of our strings, and that works. We can
quickly revert to that (hoping the phrases we asked to be translated didn't
require resequencing of variables).
It seems that there might be a bug in the process that is generating the
locale information from the po files.

Then, we created Record-49.xo by running python setup.py dev and
python
setup.py dist in the sugar shell. This creates and populates the
locale
directory with lots of files.
Then we install the program on an xo and run it.
Then we take a picture, and that process tries to assign metadata to a
datastory entry, but crashes with this stack trace:
-- 371 recd.title = Constants.istrBy % {1:stringType,
2:str(recd.recorderName)}
recd.title = None
global Constants.istrBy = '%(1) por %(2)'
stringType = 'Foto'
global str = undefined
recd.recorderName = u'dude face'
...
type 'exceptions.ValueError': unsupported format character 'p'
(0x70) at
index 5
What is strange is the line Constants.istrBy = '%(1) por %(2)'
This string appears to have lost its s at the end of the (1) and the
(2)
(which we can see were included in the es.po file above). I am not
sure how
this would have happened, but it does seem to make some sense of the
error
(the p character being the first thing interpreted after where an s
was
expected.
Any ideas on where we're doing something wrong? Thanks.

I can't tell what you mean. Do you mean to take a snapshot of an existing

gtk.gdk.Pixbuf.get_pixels_array and gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_array[1]. These
methods allow you to do math on the pixels as a Numeric Python array, and
then
make a new Pixbuf from the resulting array.

Thanks for replying Dan, much appreciated. Let me explain what I am trying to achieve: I am creating a picture in a picture effect (using XV in a window, amongst other windows).

The multiple gtk.Windows are set_transient() for each other, allowing me to stack them, and when I hide() and show(), the flicker is indeed gone! transient_for doesn't mean stack this window above this other window. It means (quoting from the ICCCM) this window is a pop-up on behalf of the named window. Swapping two windows around so that sometimes one of them is transient for the other and other times vice versa makes no sense by this definition, so there's no telling what the WM will do if you do that. I don't care about recalling set_transient, I just want windows to show up consistently in the expected order.

[sugar] more clipboard questions
I have a problem knowing when I can remove a file in /tmp after it has been
placed on the clipboard successfully.
Responding to a key-press-event callback, I call the following:
gtk.Clipboard().set_with_data( [('text/uri-list', 0, 0)],
self._clipboardGetFuncCb, self._clipboardClearFuncCb, tempImgPath )
which, in turn, calls back:
def _clipboardGetFuncCb( self, clipboard, selection_data, info,
tempImgPath):
tempImgUri = file:// + tempImgPath
selection_data.set( text/uri-list, 8, tempImgUri )
def _clipboardClearFuncCb( self, clipboard, tempImgPath):
if (tempImgPath != None):
if (os.path.exists(tempImgPath)):
os.remove( tempImgPath )
_clipboardGetFuncCb is called before _clipboardClearFuncCb, but the second
callback prevents any data from being placed on the clipboard (an image icon
appears, but it has no data). If the second callback doesn't delete the
file, the copy works! It would seem I need a callback to know when the
clipboard has completed copying the data from /tmp before deleting the file
from /tmp.
Looking into the clipboardservice.py code, it seems that a
_handle_file_completed
call can fire a file-completed... but I am not sure of the right way for
an activity to plug into that logic. Suggestions?
Thanks.
