Schtur ... you're wrong xD

That directory isn't only for log files... I have already used that for the images... and the same wiki say that it is possibile.,..

Besides you need the point dear :)

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread
 

Yeah, /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir and contained files
check which user you copied them with

ssh into n900 and check perms and owners with ls -al

Directories checked for images are in this order:
1) /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/
2) /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir
3) /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread
 

/home/user/.queen_beecon_dir permissions :

drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4096 Dec 21 17:51 .queen_beecon_dir

Something wrong?

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread
 

Is there a way to save all your beecons and automatically restore them? I use about 60 beecons and disastrously (has happened twice) my beecons did not load up on booting up the device. They had all magically transformed into the default app ok beecon. Adding all these beecons back (having to import file into beecon/buffer) takes ages. Would be great if I could just load all of them at once.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread
 

uhm... i never tested with these many beecons ... but quicker way to be safe is to regularly backup your configuration file ~/.queen_beecon so if your kind of reset condition happens you just restore the file and issue a killall hildon-home to go back.
I still havent studied a way to automatically istantiate multiple QBW from for example a script
If I have some spare time in this holidays I'll give it a shot

@D69: Paisa' ... are you still in the mud? Please post v4 log, directory permissions look ok do images look the same?

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread
 

Thanks. What is the full path to the folder with the configuration file? I found /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir/ but that just contains a log file which seems blank.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread
 

Hi No!No!No!Yes!
I have this problem too... I have 17 widgets...
I do backup to this file ( /home/user/.queen_beecon) and if I restoring this file, all my QBW is gone... And after this action I can't add any QBW... I need reset this file to default, like you wrote in wiki:
After this I need do action like you wrote here for restoring of all my widgets: Import Procedure

Would be great if we could just load all of them at once.

Thanks

Please describe your problem in more detail and especially the backup/restore steps...
When you need to restore the file? After a reflash?

I never tried this but I think that if you
1) save .queen_beecon
2) reflash
3) install QBW package
4) restore .queen_beecon
5) keep adding widgets with "gear icon" "desktop menu" "Add widget" "Queen BeeCon Widget"

They will be restored ok.

Warning! There is a known glitch in this procedure ...
Suppose you create beecon 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (This are IDs given directly by HildonHome)
Then you delete beecon 4 5 6
Then you backup, reflash, restore .queen_beecon
When you add QBW widgets again as per previous procedure in step 5), instances 1 2 3 should restore ok ... then HH generates instance IDs for 4 5 6 which are not any more in conf file, so they get reset and recreated from scratch (with default appearance), then you go on with 7 8 9 10 which should restore ok.
Just delete 4 5 6 by hand

As I said I was not able to find (but I confess I didn't look very deeply into it) a way to interact with Hildon-Home/Desktop (gconf, dbus ...) in order to automatically:
1) add new QBWs (and this could also be useful to create .deb packages already crafted with preconfigured beecons)
2) restore,sanitize,normalize the instance ids sequence both in conf file and in HH system files.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread
 

I'll explain what I do...
1) for backup I copied the file ".queen_beecon" to the MyDocs.
2) I tried edit one of my widgets and by mistake I deleted the CMD in "Edit CMD" option.
3) I copied back the file ".queen_beecon" from MyDocs to /home/user
4) I go back to desktop and all my widgets is gone (not only QBW)
5) I tried add QBW again to the desktop, but it can't done.
6) I reset the file ".queen_beecon" to default one.
7) I added again all widgets one by one with "Import procedure" (I have backup from Export procedure)

I thought copying a file ".queen_beecon" that's enough + adding the widget from desktop... But it's not... :)
