Linus, toolkit support for gestures is on the roadmap for Natty. We're going to be discussing this (and related topics) with community members at UDS, the last week of October in Orlando, FL. If you can't make it, please note that remote participation is possible, complete with live audio casting over the internet.
That being said, there are a couple things already being done: 1) we've got a project called "ginn" (hosted on Launchpad) that will support a partial set of gestures for some application actions (e.g., mapping to key-press combos for zooming, rotating) 2) Cody Russell has been working on a branch of evince that adds gesture support to PDF documents by using GEIS (utouch-geis on Launchpad). GTK support likely won't land right away, as there is still a lot of work that needs to happen in Xorg first. However, as a temporary solution, Cody's going to be creating a wrapper library that folks can use in the interim. As soon as he's tweaked evince some more, he's gong to work on eog. At that point, he should have a nice blog post ready to go, with a tutorial for folks who want to dive into MT app development work. If you're hard-core, feel free to jump in and look at his evince code (Cody's LP id is "bratsche"). 3) Qt is doing active development on MT and gestures. Their work is going to be made public soon (we're all waiting eagerly in anticipation). We will also be having sessions at UDS to discuss uTouch/Qt integration. -- Pressing buttons on quanta hardware is very hard and imprecise https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/639734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
