Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

here ya go. this is NOT a release, as i havent tested it. literally havent even run it, sorry.

this deb has new conditions: screenUnlocked, appNotFocused
and new buttons: cameraButton {n950}, powerButton


all you do to configure n9bm how i said, is change /home/user/.config/n9-button-monitor.ini

by the way, this assumes you HAVE a command that will enter security lock mode. i have no idea how to do that, and it has nothing to do with n9bm.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

ok, i tested it, and it works fine.

turns out double-click-power IS useful. it will work in lock, unlock, and different apps, where the volume buttons already have actions reserved.

it could, for instance, toggle power saving mode when locked, open my most recent pictures in meeseepics if im on the home screen, and toggle silent/ring everywhere else.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

Thankyou!
I just installed the deb, although no /home/user/.config/n9-button-monitor.conf (or /home/user/.config/n9-button-monitor.ini) is created. Is this normal? Do i grab the one in OP and throw it in there (changing it according to your instrucions)?

Edit: ...you load the default config file from the ui, got it!

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

oh snap, i thought the default one got created when the file didnt exist. apparently not, so thats a bug i should fix. ;)

i wouldnt recommend using the gui for anything at all ever.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

It works perfectly, thankyou! :D

Btw, the torch feature is really nice too. No more unlock-screen-locate-flashlight-app-in-the-app-menu-activate-flashlight...

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

cool. glad you like it!

There is a great new open source camera app for the N9 located here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=89278

I think that this could be my new default camera app, but I don't want to lose the Button Monitor camera functions.

Could you set up Button Monitor so that this camera app can be a new condition name in the GUI? Is there an easy way I can make this happen?

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

AWESOME! im so excited, i despise the n9 camera app. thanks for this news, ill be checking it out very soon.

now, its very easy to do the condition. you just do appFocused(window-class-name). default camera app is "camera-ui", and his is probably "camera-plus".

cameraFocused == appFocused(camera-ui)
both do exactly the same thing.


now as for the ACTIONS, theyre a little trickier.
what they really do is simulate dragging your finger to certain spots on the screen. if he moved the camera button a little, it will break.

so if he DID move the button, you will need to play with the "tap" action. again, clickCameraSnap and clickCameraFocus are just shorthand for the tap action with an argument.

these do exactly the same thing:
clickCameraSnap == tap(820x240,820x240)
clickCameraFocus == tap(820x240-820x100*200+5)

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

i lied, its not class name, its WM_COMMAND.
so you dont even have to use xprop to find out, you can just use the executable name.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
