An application with great use and poteNtial.

one question if you make a shortcut for say to 'call' someone. when you put it on the desktop you get a phone icon but wihout the name.

so if are putting such icons how would know which icon will call who.

use the tab that says icon, then you can put whatever text you want under the icon.

@zeltak: try new version i was missing a dependency.

@droitwichgas: Sorry this is a problem for a few people, i'm working on it, if us use
Code:

sudo gainroot
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/shortcutmkr/main.py

it will launch.

I think I've fixed this now, can you download latest(0.8.1.5) version and tell me if its stopped asking for a password?

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
It works! Great Job.
After the update today it starts up immediality.

Just two questions:
Is it possible to delete the shortcuts in the main menu? I only want theme on my desktops.
Is it possible to create the name or initials on the desktop? It's now exactly the same icon as the phonebook and the conversations schortcut.

Keep up the great work

Sorry i'm not sure I understand what your asking, you can use any icon in your icon folder and also add text under it, or if you dont pick an icon just have text.
Please can you explain to me more clearly what you want, I'm being dense, lol

use shortcut maker to make a command shortcut containing:
Code:

/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:locked

Tiboric 2011-03-14 20:02

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
what i wish is a shotcut that make a series of command line in the xterminal, like do automaticly a sudo gainroot or open a shortcutless software

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
This is a get app, I particularly like your idea of using it on top of the standard phone shortcuts!

Any chance you could give me the code to produce a "reboot" shortcut to use Xterm if it is not too much trouble for you?

Tiboric 2011-03-15 18:31

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
i just tried with the setting you showed but it worked for me
try
Code:

python /opt/Fakesms/main.py
and let me know what it says after you press ok.
ignore the bits about '' being deprecated

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
Thanks Tiboric, so i made the icon entered the text and then created the shortcut.

after adding that shortcit on my desktop i observed that the text font came out to be extremely small, couldnt read it. Is there a way to increase the fonts of the text

Tiboric 2011-03-16 00:33

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
the font size is calculated by the program, depending on the length of the text. if it was larger it wouldn't be visible on the icon. how many letters long is it?

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker

after pressing ok with same settings it looks like this!!(i think "canceled" comes after when i go to take a screen shot of xterminal.when smsfaker is closed)(i can't see what xterminal is showing without closing the smsfaker,it does not let me switch the window. even after pressing ctrl+backspace. because it (smsfaker)is a popup window which gone after clicking outside it.hope this can give some info)

Tiboric 2011-03-17 17:02

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
all look O.K apart from the event shouldn't be -1 it should be something like 3482.
I'll look into it, thanks for letting me know of the problems you've been having with scm and fakesms as it really helps to get feedback...

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
When i set phonecalls and sms shortcut for a contact and place it some order in my desktop, after a rebbot it doesn't keep the place/position i defined earlier in the desktop, also, if i place shortcuts -let's say in the second desktop for eg- it resets its position and keep going back to the main desktop after a reboot, is this normal?

Tiboric 2011-03-18 19:54

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
no they are just normal desktop shortcuts so should do anything abnormal, have you tried this with another shortcut lately?

anismistry 2011-03-19 13:38

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
Hi Tiboric

Please confirm if you can increase the font of the text below the phone call icon. Or else can can you tell which icon is for whcih contact.

Thanks

yep, i just added tv out control widget and hotspot shortcut today and after a reboot all my widgets and shortcuts kept their positions except the phonecall and sms shortcut :-s

Tiboric 2011-03-20 16:45

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
well there's no position information held in the .desktop file created by scm or any .desktop file
anyone else having this problem????

I had the same as slipkornsaad, but with earlier versions. I stopped using it but I will generate some new ones. Interesting that he sees the same even with a later version. His description applies exactly to my experience.

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 
I really cant see why gconf wouldn't hold the positions of specific shortcuts.
maybe nicolai will have some insight in to this....

It very hard to track down a specific problem like this as every n900 is different and normally has a whole set of different apps installed on it. if you have fam installed could you both make me a list of installed apps for me to have a look through
