toobars
Today will be a new release!
I’d already done everything, even changed the text on the Russian version of the relevant pages, but as soon as it came to filling the site files, it appeared that either the provider (Beeline) brake, whether hoster (masterhost) and add the files well, can not do it. Discussions with the technical support of both the situation is not clarified – “we have all the normal, check your program”.
Therefore I go to bed, sleep on it:)
Slight delay
Due to the sudden need to reinstall Ubuntu on my home PC, which resulted in notable dances with a tambourine (http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=93448.0), came a pause in the work. But the current system is practically given in a sane state.
To date, the plugin code has become easier, menus of choice status works fine, now Pidgin with the plugin takes memory 3 times less than earlier.
Now I’m thinking – give the new version number 1.7 or still 2.0, and 1.7 to a 1.6, with the old, “regular” statusbox, fix bugs and move a little polish?
Work continues on TooBars
As promised, after a week break for all sorts returned to work on the plugin. In the nearest future the following changes:
- Change of status through the menu, but not in an uncomfortable statusbox;
- Grouping preferences plugin for the tabs (thanks to Konrad Gräfe);
- There will be removed wry running checks when you open the settings for the presence of the window is already open window settings;
- To be added to the optional radio button “show / hide the main menu;
- Icon “unread messages” will be made not the usual icon, and the normal button.
List of plans can change in the process.
Fuf! I managed!
I managed to upload a new version today. What can not but rejoice, because tomorrow if possible, may not be. And if it will be, will there be enough power? 🙂
In this release all sorts of tasty. But this is all the details on the background of plans for the next release, the chief of which – do change the status of human beings, through the context menu. But the new version I perturbation not earlier than one week – at work already ominously eyeing, at the forum server CS castigated for failing, in addition, I want to try to write a review of the illuminated keyboard. Reviews are not already written about five years!
Did you submit bug reports and suggestions. I can not promise that all will do, but strongly consider the proposal, I can promise you! 🙂
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:
- 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? - 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? - 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.
- Added icons to context menus.
- 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:
- Refinement already implemented functionality, editing localization files and release.
- 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:
- Found and corrected some errors, which do not affect the plugin, but can clog up a debug console.
- 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.
- 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:
- Context menu from scratch list of contacts, which could adjust the appearance of the list and get access to some client settings.
The new version of TooBars is ready!
Behind the plugin TooButtons has been updated and TooBars. Now he works in version Pidgin for Windows.
Making it compile and work properly was worth much less effort than expected.
It is noteworthy that as soon as last Friday managed to get the first working version, I got a letter in the mail from Mr. Konrad Graefe (hope I spelled his name as a mail message it shows up plain wrong), who sent his pre-compiled version of this plugin, all the files needed to compile and a short statement. He also proposed to install a new version of GTK+ library instead of the provisions to version 2.6.6. After this advice on the buttons panel earned. But I did not clean up some added directives, so this version should be the normal way and compiled under older versions of GTK+.
Also over the weekend came in the mail the localization file in German, signed Siggi0904 and Dirtsa.
Thank you very much for the help in the development and support! Nice to know that what began as something like a dubious experiment in programming exercises has become the form of a holistic project that needed people. Thank you!
toobars + Windows = ?
In the near future versions toobars under Windows will not.
The reason is simple: I could not compile Pidgin under cygwin.
gcc.exe: Internal error: Aborted (program collect2)
Attempts to download different versions pidgin’a failed. As attempts to find a solution to this problem. Search finds many descriptions of similar problems but no solutions.
Релиз toobars 1.4!
Более подробную информацию, а также обилие новых скриншотов можете найти в соответствующем разделе этого сайта.
Новый релиз не за горами
На текущий момент все работы, связанные с допиливанием нового функционала и исправлением старых ошибок и внедрением новых завершены.
Кроме того, исправлены файлы переводов на русский (Гы!) и испанский языки (надеюсь, Google вменяемо переводит :))
Осталось убрать правки, связанные с возможностью компилить исходники прямо в папке с исходниками Pidgin’а непосредственно из Geany, внести необходимые правки в сопутствующие файлы и перекомпилить проект.
После чего напрячься и выложить везде новую версию с новыми скриншотами. Как я это не люблю, кто бы знал…
ЗЫ Борьба со статусбаром завершилась победой лени и соображений потенциальной совместимости над тягой к программированию, т.е. статусбар останется без изменений, собственно статусбаром.
Поддержите меня!
