Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
I am using modified hildon home with ability to have up to 9 screens. I read somewhere on this site that there is the possibility of an xterm command which jumps to the screen you want and then that can be changed into a queen beecon script. So you can just place queen beecon widgets on your desktops, press a widget and it takes you to the desktop screen tied to that widget script/command.

Is this possible or is it fantasy only? If possible would someone be a superstar and create the relevant beecons?

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-09-14 16:57

Could you find again the relevant x-term command?

I believe you are looking for this
Code:

gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/current -t int <Desktop Number>
Where desktop number is an integer value between 1-9. You need to have modified hildon-desktop installed

@No!No!No!Yes!
Is it possible to fix a widget so that it maintains its position across desktop swipes?
Also when do you plan to release the tabs functionality:)

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-09-14 17:52

Not to my knowledge :(

It's already there :p

I'll post a premature version of Tabbed MLBeecon for study purposes within hours ...

First,

thanks 3xNo!Yes! for Queen BeeCon, very useful app.

I'm using it to to put N900 to sleep with one widget and back alive with another.

I browsed around BeeCon Wiki etc. but could not find info how to make this into one widget; a toggle-type that would change the state between sleep and all active. Is that possible with Queen BeeCon?

This application I discovered recently ... but it's one of my indispensable.

Struggling to learn to use scripts with her.

Thank you for developing it.

it depends ...
what do you use to send it to sleep and to activate?
Issue here can be:
- widget startup after power on (which state is initial?)
- other conditions which change phone status without any signal (widget cannot realize real-time about status change)
- way to test sleep/active condition

very naively I'd suggest ...
create 2 nice [ON] and [OFF] buttons .png images
make it a beecon
in settings set off_image.png for =0 status
in settings set on_image.png for =1 status
handle 1st run (touch file or the like)
Code:

if (clicked) {
  test active condition
  if (on) { switch off; exit 0 }
  else {switch on, exit 1 }
} else {
  if (dbus_signal_off) {exit 0}
  else {exit 1}
}

if you can be notified via DBUS signal about sleep/active status change then you can use DBUS monitor in QBW

Hi, I'm using the hardsleep from your examples and made another widget that changes phoneback to 3G, waits few seconds and creates the connection etc.

Initial state after boot would be "normal" i.e. 3g mode etc.
No conditions needed, manual toggle is enough
If widget remembers it's current state, it enough.

I'll test your suggestion..looks what I'm looking for.

Set Update @Startup and @Click policy
If you don't need results text just make it "hidden", echo final status like ON or OFF in your command and at every click check for previous status with $QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT variable

This is metacode by heart; must be tweaked a bit:
Code:

if "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_STARTUP_UPDATE" {
  switch on, echo "ON"; exit 1
}

if "$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT" == "ON" {
  switch off; echo "OFF"; exit 0
} else {
  switch on, echo "ON"; exit 1
}
