Strange bug

On Friday, one user reported that “when the pidgin main menu hidden not working hotkeys (ctrl + q to exit, in particular).” I tried to solve this problem at home, but… found that everything works just fine, ie fault is not apparent! However, coming to work today with sadness discovered that, yes, on the work computer is malfunctioning.

Release will not be until I decide this problem 🙁

I think the problem lies in the GTK, because hotkeys fall off if main menu widget is hidden, although they belong gtkblist->window, but not gtkblist->ift. At home computer may be version GTK, different from the version installed at work.

Works in progress

Time categorically not enough work at work waiting for me from vacation and I had it to work 🙂
At the moment it became a little easier and work on plug-in continues.
Me is scheduled as follows:

1. The solution to the deb-file, after installing the plugin from which the SO-file is not in the directory in which the general case should be.
2. Adding to the output settings on the main menu option to disable menu appears by pressing Alt.
3. Adding settings define how the change of status – through standard Statusbox or through the menu.
4. Update German translation.
5. Addition of Czech translation.

Deepening…

Continue to develop the TooBars. It’s like a snowball – you start to do one thing, a campaign comes to mind with new ideas, and old have to give up, and flew … And further, and more … The new code – new errors, change the functional – the new errors. On the other hand – there are new solutions – is becoming more accurate code.

To date:

1. The main menu can be removed from the preferences. If cleared, then it can cause the Alt or F10. Hide then – click the mouse or any key without Alt. From the appearance of rollover (as is done in the plugin blistops) refused – too often get inadequate response.
   By the way, but I have the transition in the menu on the F10 and then the keyboard will not open the menu?
2. A menu appears when you click on the empty place on contact list window. The menu is: Add the contact, “Show” and “Sorting” (with all its contents from the main menu), and Accounts, Plug-ins and Preferencies. The contents of the menu, as well as the fact of its existence is not configurable.
   Perhaps screwed as a possibility to change the status, then it will be clean and the menu and toolbar with statusbar … Or will it be in the next version?
3. Now you can customize the output in the status bar of the main status separately and each of the accounts – apart. For each of the settings – individually include the withdrawal of title status.
4. Added icons to context menus.
5. Detected an error when trying to change the sound mode from the context menu in the tray client – the client hangs and falls out. Closer inspection revealed that this is a consequence of incorrect operator gtk_toggle_tool_button_set_active (), in particular as a function DrawToolbarIcon. If it prescribe an explicit “TRUE” or “FALSE”, then it works, but is somehow complicate the code – and all fall apart.

Plans:

1. Refinement already implemented functionality, editing localization files and release.
2. Replacing the current method of change of status for more… sane through the menu. But this means not only adding a few procedures, but also change a great number of already written code. While inclined to defer to the next version.

Further development TooBars

Day after day, all my free time devote further develop this plugin.
What is being done or being done:

1. Found and corrected some errors, which do not affect the plugin, but can clog up a debug console.
2. Another attempt to delete a memory leak after switching off the plugin (though just now noticed that some plugins stop after not even quit! ;)) – The result has not been verified.
3. Added ability to disable in the interface menu …
   Faced with the problem that simply borrowing the code from the plug blistops not rent – I have a different structure of the contact list, and the solution of the problem lasted 3 days. Make switching the menu button on the toolbar, as suggested by Konrad, did not want. I want to and when you hover the mouse menu pops up, and by pressing the F10… At the moment trying to figure out how to remove the menu when focus is lost window contacts list.

What is planned:

1. Context menu from scratch list of contacts, which could adjust the appearance of the list and get access to some client settings.

Сегфолт частично побеждён!

Вчера удалось реализовать изменение состояния кнопок на тулбаре в зависимости от состояния соответствующего пункта меню!
И теперь можно релизить плагин, не имея ни одного известного бага, что, конечно, не может не радовать!
