Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

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.

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

I am still getting the "Password" request after running the command?

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

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
it will launch.

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

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

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

new version worked for me. THANKS!

cheers!!!

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

Tiboric,

Can you make the app give us somekind of confirmation after clicking the create button?

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

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

Edit:
will get on it right away...

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

i also was confused for the first time wheather shortcut is created or not! thats a good sugestion,now if you could help me......

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker

sorry guys it's because I’ve got a shortcut on my desktop to http://talk.maemo.org/newreply.php?d...ote=1&p=967737. lol

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

so after i create shortcut to my contact i should go to the icon tab and add contacts name in the text field and click on create. but how will this link to my contact.

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
 

so after i create shortcut to my contact i should go to the icon tab and add contacts name in the text field and click on create. but how will this link to my contact.

Tiboric please tell me how can link an icon with my shortcut on the desktop

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

worked for me, again THANK YOU! tiboric

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?

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

you can do this with shortcut maker. when i get home i'll post a load of usfull command to use with it including sudo gainroot.

no other way around make icon then go and make the shortcuts you want and the will use the icon selected. i will try and make it easyier in next version.

i have this at home i'll include it in the list of usefull command. be home in a few hours.

thanks for all the feedback guys

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

so........... if you don't mind i would like to ask about smsfaker(i like that app too) did not work for me. when i press ok nothing happens, any idea?
EDIT; i tried typing "in" instead of "IN" also changed the time "1" by "01" but the result is same.

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

i just tried with the setting you showed but it worked for me
try
and let me know what it says after you press ok.
ignore the bits about '' being deprecated

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

Here's a few commands, more to come but in going out now...
Reboot : Lock Screen :Sudo Gainroot XTerm: (with 'Run In Xterm' checked)

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

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
 

i havent selected any icon but only entered the text on the icon tab. anyway it is 6 letters long

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

Hi Tiboric

i tried and i was able to put the icon and the text below it. When i put the shortcut on the desktop it came up with my chosen icon but the text below it ie the name of the person came out to me extremely small. can we increase the font of this text

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

the code opens smsfaker,and with the same setting(my last post) i press ok and nothing happned.the result is same.

after pressing ok, is there any notification that should popup????(because in my case nothing happened)

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

its working like a charm to me... thanks again ...:)

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

i want the output in from the xterm window.... after you run that command and try to create a fake sms

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)

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?

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

no they are just normal desktop shortcuts so should do anything abnormal, have you tried this with another shortcut lately?

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

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

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

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????

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

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

Re: [Announce] Shortcut Maker
 

would be good a feature to delete icons created with this app
how do i delete icons
coz i maked some tests and now i cant delete them
