Re: [Zim-wiki] Firefox addon - Zim-clip 0.5.2 : alternative location for Zim
Le mer. 10 avril 2013 08:56:40 CEST, Jaap Karssenberg a écrit : We use the temp dir given by the standard tempfile module, it depends on environment variables (see http://docs.python.org/2/library/tempfile.html). Apparently the firefox process has another environment than the terminal process. Sounds like I should take care in zim that the socket location is uniquely defined and not depending on this temporary file. But not sure what would be a robust way to determine such a location. Regards, Jaap It's seems to be a recent move in Fedora : the TMPDIR variable pointing to /var/tmp is hard coded in Firefox script : From /usr/bin/firefox: ## Use $MOZ_TMPDIR if set. Otherwise use /var/tmp instead of /tmp ## because of 1GB /tmp limit in Fedora 18 and later. ## See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=867073 I could define the $MOZ_TMPDIR variable pointing to /tmp, but it will mean that an addon change the behavior of all Firefox, which I think will not be quit good. I continue my investigation on how nsIProcess (interface that provides a way to run third party applications from Firefox) works, to see if I can define a tmp dir only for the process I create to run Zim.

Hi Jaap, Nomnex and all. Le 08/04/2013 13:32, Jaap Karssenberg a écrit : What do you see if you open zim mulitple notebooks without using zim-clip, or when you open the same notebook multiple times without zim-clip ? If similar behavior it is unrelated to zim-clip and likely due to the trayicon plugin and/or XFCE panel. If so, please open a bug report for further discussion. Regards, Jaap I see why there is two tray icons (and two instances) when using zim-clip. (1) When I Open Zim from an application launcher ( ~/path/to/zim.py) I have 3 processes : --ipc-server-main /tmp/zim-rnb/zim-server-socket 30 (2) When i do an action from zim-clip (/path/to/zim.py --plugin quicknote ...), it creates 3 new processes : --ipc-server-main /var/tmp/zim-rnb/zim-server-socket 30 (3) Now running a zim-clip action with zim closed. It creates 3 zim processes : --ipc-server-main /var/tmp/zim-rnb/zim-server-socket 30 (4) If I run now Zim from terminal (/path/to/zim.py), it creates 3 new processes : --ipc-server-main /tmp/zim-rnb/zim-server-socket 30 So when I run Zim from Gnome, zim-server-socket is created in /tmp/zim-[user] ; when I run Zim from zim-clip/Firefox, zim-server-socket is created in /var/tmp/zim-[user]. For those who want to test, here's a simple Firefox add-on that creates a widget which runs Zim (zim folder needs to be defined in the preference page): http://omacronides.com/tmp/run-zim.xpi xpi are simple zip archives. Source code is in resources/run-zim/lib/main.js I have to find why zim-server-socket is created in a different place...

I see know what you mean. I can reproduce the behavior: if Zim is already opened, using zim-clip opens another tray icon. That's strange. Use case 1 : Zim already open * Marking a page with zim-clip : opens a second tray icon (instance 1 + instance 2). * Marking another page with zim-clip : still 2 tray icons (instance 1 + instance 2). Use case 2 : Zim already open * Marking a page with zim-clip : opens a second tray icon (instance 1 + instance 2). * Marking another page with zim-clip : still 2 tray icons (instance 1 + instance 2). * Closing the first tray icon (instance 2) * Marking a page with zim-clip : only one tray icon (instance 2) Use case 3 : Zim already open * Marking a page with zim-clip : opens a second tray icon (instance 1 + instance 2). * Marking another page with zim-clip : still 2 tray icons (instance 1 + instance 2). * Closing the second tray icon (instance 1) * Marking a page with zim-clip : opens a second tray icon (instance 1 + instance 2). Use case 4: Zim closed. * Marking a page with zim-clip : opens a tray icon (instance 1) * Marking another page with zim-clip : still one tray icon (instance 1) Trying to find out what's happening. -- Rui Nibau email: rui.ni...@omacronides.com im: rui.ni...@gmail.com site: http://omacronides.com ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Zim-wiki] Firefox addon - Zim-clip 0.5.2 : alternative location for Zim
Thanks Rui, works beautifully now :-) Hilmar On 05/04/13 21:24, Rui Nibau wrote: Hi all. Here's a new version of Zim-clip. As jaap and Hilmar pointed out, it can be difficult to detect automatically where Zim is installed on Windows, except maybe reading the registry (but I don't know if it could be possible from an firefox addon). So, I change the option 'run from source' into an option 'run from alternative location'. So, if the location is provided, the addon search for 'zim.py' if it's the sources dir or for 'zim.exe' if we are on Windows. Tested under Windows Seven. Hope this one will work in (almost) all cases. xpi: http://omacronides.com/lab/ff-zim-clip/build/zim-clip-0.5.2.xpi If an error occurred while capturing or marking a page, you can always see the error message in the Firefox error console (tools - Web Developer - error console). It seems that my log messages don't appear here - I have to find out why.
