Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

In response to the problems with the Ebay beecon / snippet -

I can implement (i.e. add the code and run) the snippet but the output I get in the widget does not match what display fields you have in the example screenshot you posted with the instructions on how to build it. What I see is the title of the listing and then underneath where the field says "ID:" I also get a repeat of the title, where I expect to see the item number. Underneath this, I expect to see the time left for bidding etc but I don't see any of that.

So I don't think this is a 'timer' issue as you understand it - I am just not returning the field data in the widget that I expect to.

My reference to 'optifying' the layout (if that's even a word?) is because when the Ebay widget appears, the listing title dissappears from the right of the page, meaning the length is too short in the default value methinks.

I hope that makes better sense.

Heh. Never occurred to me to look in an UNinstaller to find out the installed version! But of course it's the perfect place.

I've got 0.1.4. Looks like that's the latest, no?

No!No!No!Yes!

[Feature request]

If possible, a beecon to start / stop record the output from the N900 FM radio app which can then be played in media player?

The script I posted yesterday had a bug that made it ignore hostile teams. I've edited the post to include the corrected code, so you only need to re-download it if you grabbed it before the timestamp on this post. Or you could just hand-edit it: in the if statement that checks for wins, two occurrences of "tm[i]" should both be "ct".

No!No!No!Yes!

I hope I have a better chance now that community has gone much more cerebral about Maemo, N900 and Hildon-Desktop.
I repost here my original request as it could move QBW a step further with still one new possibility.

Thanks to new extended IPC mechanism it could be now possible to treat many QBW instances as one intercommunicating entity thus allowing stacked instances (and hot spots over beecons) like in this example:

I believe the cheapest solution could be this one:

http://i41.tinypic.com/nei7hy.png http://i39.tinypic.com/2zf7j8y.png http://i44.tinypic.com/eugi69.png

With "A" being the "status" beecon (with status querying script ~~updating manually, every startup, on desktop change, every 30 or so seconds~~ updated via new QBW IPC features by "B") and "B" being the "toggle" beecon/button (with status toggling script just for manual interaction)

http://i42.tinypic.com/wu4bxi.png http://i44.tinypic.com/11m8ahz.png http://i43.tinypic.com/2u4lw5g.png

ISSUE: Still unable to programmatically control the stacking of different widgets on desktop.

This was the original enigma:

Hi, as per subject I need to programmatically control the overlaying positions of 3 instances of the same multi-instance hildon desktop (hildon-home) widget.
Programming Language is C.

I basically need to send the top most yellow box behind the red and green boxes (the very-very back) while I'm in the top most widget's settings dialog box.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2vcgjye.png

http://i48.tinypic.com/2qukdqh.png

I've already tried:

gtk_window_set_keep_below gtk_window_set_keep_below
HildonWindowStack family functions

No success so far... anyone can help?

Bye!

Sorry for bringing this back again but I received some tips from a friend and I'd like you guys to help me elaborating on them:

So you could edit this timestamp to change the stacking order of the applets. I think you'd need to trigger the restacking of applets somehow aftre changing the value. The stacking code is here:

Anyone has any idea on how to "trigger the restacking of applets"

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

WOW, this is one incredible piece of work. I have no programming skills ,but it seems to me that this widget can do just about anything with the right script. So may question is this; i have a GOOGLE VOICE account and want to eliminate sms fees from recieveing texts from my account. So could QBW poll my account for new messages alert me of them, and then open a selected VOIP account to let me handle the message however i feel fit? The potential for this app is incredible; if this is possible?

No!No!No!Yes!

It is already possible to check for GMails via a RSS feed through GMail: New Mail Notifier Widget
There's a mobile access URL for http://www.google.com/voice/m (I'm not able to inspect further because of access limitations)
I believe there are methods of issuing DBUS commands to start voip connections
I believe there are methods of issuing DBUS commands to have the N900 play sounds like incoming mails or chat conversations
QBW can provide the frontend to all this notification/action scripting

As you see ... just speculations and still a lot more to investigate and test but maybe the Community can help testing & scripting here

I Can't go further then this ... sorry :(

Oops your not from here,lol

Yep saw that is why I asked here, because getting into GV would probably use the same script
There's a mobile access URL for http://www.google.com/voice/m (I'm not able to inspect further because of access limitations)
Understandable, but the mobile isn't that great,but I guess you could use it to get the info for which QBW could use, would prefer the real site in any case

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

PR1.2 OTA upgrade still not available here (IT), could anybody who has already upgraded, report here for any issue with QBW with new rel? 10x

As soon as PR1.2 is available I'll perform the upgrade and release 0.1.8 in extras-devel.
Ciao.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

No!No!No!Yes!, if http://slexy.org/view/s2TuPIskK2 looks legit to you, can you include it in 0.18? It adds two buttons to the Advanced dialog re. the buffer: Export from Buffer to File and Import from File to Buffer. I got tired of importing/exporting via Leafpad. :)

Best regards,

Gah, crap, I forgot to add "g_clear_error" statements

Hi No!No!No!Yes!

I've just flashed to PR 1.2 and I had a few problems when I tried to re-install Queen BeeCon. The widgets were on my desktop but i couldn't see them, only when i click on the gear icon for configuration of the desktop would I see them, but I wouldn't be able to edit them.

I would also get messages saying Hildon-home is not responding.

I'm probably not explaining very well so I'll install it again and get some screenshots.

Sash	2010-05-25 17:58

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

I just tried it again and again Hildon-home wouldn't respond.

I couldn't get any screenshots as when i clicked on the gear icon like this:

http://wiki.maemo.org/images/d/d8/Qbwinst1.png

the desktop would stop responding.

No!No!No!Yes!

Not that I can tell as I've had no trouble customising any other widgets/desktops or menus. Also my device is not Over Clocked.

Ok, release is 0.1.4, right?
If you wouldn't bother to give it a shot, I could send you a link to the 0.1.8 version .deb package.
Just to see if a version compiled with PR1.2 aware sdk suffers the same deseases!!!

How about that?

Sash	2010-05-25 18:48

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Sure I'll give it a shot.

I think it was 0.1.4, just the one in Extras.

No!No!No!Yes!

Never mind ... I managed to stick "g_clear_error" here:

Uhm ... no easy way to preserve backward compatibility if I implement this feature with Hildon-Extras extensions.
Especially if exported instances, with extended-fonts functionalities, need to be read by older releases.

Same happens if I change Color (both foreground and background) dialog with extended and more cosmetic one.

Unless it is polite to ask users to check and change fonts/color after import.

BTW, is it possible that HeColorButton is a bit buggy with PR1.2 SDK?

hi No!No!No!Yes! (what a name =p)

i saw you made some queen beecon widgets for overclocked device, i saw it in the overlock post, now its not there for some reason.

but still very curious as to how i can get some of those, is it like i can change different configs (profile, frequency etc) right at the desktop?

thanks for the good work btw

No!No!No!Yes!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

hi again, so you knows he has those '1 Ghz' and 'Ideal' widgets?

do those actually alter the kernel settings?

thanks

No!No!No!Yes!

Ciao,
actually I'm not much into this overclocking wisdom I suggest you just drop Jakiman a message and he can point you towards the latest working QBWs he developed (also PR1.2-aware). In fact I heard there were some issues with rootsh/sudo lately which prevented commands to work properly.

Ciao.

If you're using the scripts from here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=3947

The "snippet_ideal.txt" script will change the kernel to ideal settings.

To have a 1Ghz snippet, you have to follow these instructions first:

Code:

1. Launch xterminal

2. root

3. kernel-config load ideal

4. kernel-config limits 500 1000

5. kernel-config save ideal_1000

and then the "snippet_ideal_1000.txt" script will change the kernel to 1Ghz

No!No!No!Yes!

As a second thought with respect to innovations in font and color settings for command and results labels I implemented the new extended font dialog as proposed by qwerty12.

I believe pros will be much more than cons and side effects will be bearable...:

Old font selection and button is deprecated
Backward compatibility for instances exported from previous releases is guaranteed and settings upgraded as necessary during import
Exported instances from release 0.1.9 onward will have their fonts reset to command="Nokia Sans bold italic 12" results="Nokia Sans bold 12" when/if imported in previous releases

Faheem, if you are planning to come up with some bugfixing for the color button issue I'll try to release, into PR1.2 extras-devel repository for preliminary testing, a 0.1.9 working release with enhanced font/color settings within 1 or 2 days.
Otherwise only the font enhancement will be published.

No!No!No!Yes!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

OK ... Queen BeeCon Widget release 0.1.9 is now in extras-devel
Partial Change Log since 0.1.4

Code:

queen-beecon (0.1.9)



    * New: New extended font dialog for command and results labels (Old font selection deprecated; backward compatibility for instances exported from previous releases is guaranteed and settings upgraded as necessary)

    * Changed: Due to new font settings implementation, exported instances from this release onward will have their fonts reset to command="Nokia Sans bold italic 12" results="Nokia Sans bold 12" when imported in previous releases

    * Bugfixing: Some fixing and cleanup in package install/uninstall 



queen-beecon (0.1.8-testonly-PR1.2)



    * WARNING This release is for testing purposes only as PR1.2 upgrade brought some instabilities which need forensics!!!

    * New: Implementation of DBUS methods: reset_rearm_timer

    * New: QBW is now integrated into the N900 system backup/restore features according to standard specifications as better described in SDK "Using Backup Application" http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Generic_Platform_Components/Using_Backup_Application#Custom_back-up_locations

    * Changed: Completely revised Timer logic and reset/re-arming for widget periodic auto-update

    * Changed: Visual feedback when Beecons pressed; now rectangle gets drawn as well as cell (better chance of noticing feedback for canvas-less Beecons)

    * Bugfixing: Fixed segmentation fault if dbus get_position method called and dbus_method_monitor turned on 



queen-beecon (0.1.7-PR1.1.1)



    * NOTE: Special Build for PR1.1.1

    * New: Implementation of Widget Instance visibility toggle and configuration parameter (for showing or hiding the widget also via DBUS)

    * New: Implementation of following DBUS methods: dbus_method_monitor, show, hide, wakeup, sleep, update_content, update_layout, exec, set_param_string, set_param_int32, set_param_uint32, set_param_double, set_param_boolean, get_param string, set_position, get_position, get_exit_status

    * New: Implementation of following DBUS signals: sig_content_updated

    * Changed: Enhanced DBUS implementation for Widget2Widget & System2Widget Inter Process Communication

    * Changed: Changed default values for some Update Policies in new QBW instances (updOnStartup now defaults to FALSE; updOnDesktop now defaults to FALSE) to prevent bugged Beecons from freezing hildon-home even after restart

    * Respect: To querty12@talk.maemo.org Many, many, many, many, many thanks for supporting QBW IPC implementation 



queen-beecon (0.1.6)



    * New: Simple DBUS implementation for Widget2Widget & System2Widget Inter Process Communication

    * New: Added Widget Instance ID in Settings Dialog Title

    * Changed: Compiled Vs. PR1.2 



queen-beecon (0.1.5)



    * Changed: Thanks "qwerty12" disabled automatic capitalization for all text entry fields 



queen-beecon (0.1.4)



    * New: Implementation of Widget Instance disabling and minimizing on desktop (click on minimized icon on desktop will wakeup and maximize instance)

    * New: Implementation of image/icon scaling function for all images used (Zoom In/Out from 5% to 200% or Fit to Widget Width/Height)

    * Bugfixing: In Advanced Maintenance Dialog Box several bugfixes for Import/Export commands and instances.

See complete Change Log in the WIKI

Usual WARNINGS apply to extras-devel material

Feel free to experiment with all extended features implemented since 0.1.4 and please report bugs and experiences or feature requests here.

Have fun!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

so do my saved instances (commands) will still work if i import it to the 1.9 QBW? right?

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

Does this mean that if I upgrade QBW, it's now safe to also upgrade to PR1.2?

No!No!No!Yes!

I dedicated a major effort in trying to guarantee backward compatibility and transparent upgrade of already created instances.
Only limitation, apart from possible lurking bugs, is the one reported in the change log and relevant to ability for older releases to deal with new font parameters for instances exported by >=0.1.9 QBW.

No!No!No!Yes!

Hi, you won't be able to upgrade QBW PR1.1.1 with current extras-devel v0.1.9 which gets compiled in PR1.2 SDK framework with upgraded modules; you'll face this issue:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~/workspace/queen-beecon] > dpkg -l queen-beecon



Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

Unpacking replacement queen-beecon ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of queen-beecon:

 queen-beecon depends on libhildon1 (>= 2.2.10); however:

  Version of libhildon1 on system is 2.2.3-1+0m5.

dpkg: error processing queen-beecon (--install):

 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Errors were encountered while processing:

 queen-beecon



[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~/workspace/queen-beecon] >

If you want to stick a bit more with PR1.1.1 you can try queen-beecon_0.1.9-PR1.1.1_armel.deb package but I will not be able to provide support and maintain this many versions of the package and I'd rather focus on maintenance on PR1.2

Ciao.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

I've updated to the 0.1.9 QBW and it looks good. The new font section bit works great with a preview included now.

I'll have to test out the DBUS commands.

i have upgraded to 1.9 and everything feels okay, the only change is all the fonts revert back to default (as stated on the description changes), the commands still work as usual havent try sudo commands but i will.

im using the same commands on my overclocking.

thanks for this one!

EDIT: the user interface is very friendly in this upgrade. and easy to customize
