Leafpad
 

As requested by several people, leafpad has been ported to OS2008:

This is leafpad 0.8.10 with hildonization modifications from Eduardo Lima

It's available in the repository given in my sig.

Modification where done to configure.ac and to hildon inclusion to fit to new OS2008 libraries.

Hope it's usefull!

Re: Leafpad
 

Great been waiting patiently for leafpad on OS2008 :-)

Re: Leafpad
 

Sweet, forgot about leafpad. Thanks for porting it.

Re: Leafpad
 

Many thanks!!

It hasn't appear up to now. I can see your other apps but not this one.
I used to have your previous version and I've uninstalled it just in case there were a conflict but it didn't change anything.

Could you have a look or sent a direct link please?

Re: Leafpad
 

Sorry I made my usual mistake :)

I'll add one post here when I corrected the stuff.

Re: Leafpad
 

Huuh
Should be corrected :o

This damned application manager will get me crazy..

Re: Leafpad
 

hmmm, debfarm repo installed via app manager, did not fully refresh (stalled, connection timed out, GLIB CRITICAL failed to fetch etc) on a cleanly installed OS2008 on my N800 tonight. :o so i don't think its right yet?

---edit-- disabled added debfarm repo and and seem to be having problems refreshing apps list now?

Re: Leafpad
 

It installed for me OK...

Re: Leafpad
 

It works fine for me now.

Comparing this with the version we've had in os2007 seems to be missing a couple of features that were nice. For example a desktop icon (now you need to launch it from xterm) and the connection to fullscreen button.

Anyway, those are minor stuff and I guess will be added over time.

Thanks again..

Re: Leafpad
 

Try re-booting your tablet. This happened to me the first time I installed this leafpad, but subsequent refresh installs were OK.

Re: Leafpad
 

Yes, don told me via PM that buttons have no effect.
From the source code I don't see the F6/F7/F8 so it looks like I'll have to recode it...

For the menu, try to reboot. Maybe it will appear. Usually packages will update the menu after installation but sometimes the update doesn't work.
At boot, the update-menu is run so it should create the entry.
If after a reboot, it's still not present then it's a bug.

Re: Leafpad
 

Could be that my repo is suffering too much downloads..
You'll have to retry several times.
For some it works, for others, it's a pain..

In the worst case, you can try from command line in xterm (this has a lot more chance to succeed)
sudo gainroot
apt-get install leafpad <-- redo this step until it succeeds

Re: Leafpad
 

Ok, it finally worked via app manager after many attempts, once installed rebooting device ensures leafpad icon is available via extras menu. thanks!

Re: Leafpad
 

You can go to full-screen mode from the Hildon menu, but once you are full-screen then you have to use the menu hardware button to get a menu back up to get out of full-screen mode.

Re: Leafpad
 

Yep, a reboot made the trick and now it appears! Thx

Re: Leafpad
 

Ok, I have the debfarm repo enabled. It does not show up in my app manager and if I type in "apt-get install leafpad":
I browsed the repo manually through firefox on my computer and I cannot find the leafpad deb there either.

Any way of me getting the OS2008 version please?

Thanks & Best Regards.

Re: Leafpad
 

Yes because I have removed it. Poor quality if I remember.. Well, that's my opinion. I'll put it back in a minute, try it and see..

Wasn' t there somebody else working on leafpad?

Re: Leafpad
 

Hum I have version 0.8.10 and 0.8.9-2.
I think 0.8.10 contains hildonization.
As a repository can only reference one version, it will be the 0.8.10.
But if you want to give a try to the 0.8.9-2, click here:
http://debfarm.free.fr/pool/leafpad_0.8.9-2_armel.deb

Re: Leafpad
 

I searched (albeit on the IT) and only your package came up.

Thanks :)

Re: Leafpad
 

Thanks for this.

It has a nice icon in the app manager, but then no icon in my app list. Too bad...the little green leaf would look good in the simple launcher desktop applet.

Re: Leafpad
 

?
I have an icon.
Although it was awfull, I made it a bit better with the help of gimp.
(probably you need to uninstall and reinstall as I don't want to make it a new version)
Do you have it in the menu after a reboot?

Re: Leafpad
 

I tried the hildonised version and the non hildonised version.

IMHO the non hildonised version is much more better. I find the top bar easier and it seems to work with running from command line with file as argument (The hildon version gives out some weird error) and the default gtk file browser is more powerful than the hildon one.

Both versions (not installed at the same time) appear in menu after reboot.

Re: Leafpad
 

Ok, I admit I didn't even try the new version..
Yes that's true that's annoying
I think the same. I used it 10mn ago and had the same thought. All my documents are in /home/user/docz and the filemanager widget can't access it.. BUt you know, it's a user-oriented thing, not a geek-oriented thing ;)
But I guess the new version doesn't handle the keyboard? Or it's just hw keys missing and full screen?

Gonna have a look..

Re: Leafpad
 

Version 0.8.10-1 available, update your application list.

Hardware keys:

• - / + : Change font size
• Fullscreen with middle button
• Curved arrow is arbitrary mapped to "Find next"

Cheers

Re: Leafpad
 

Just did a quick update and it looks pretty good to me. Certainly usable:)

Little nits:

I am using a BT keyboard and the keyboard mappings probably need some attention.

The green leafpad icon in the 'Extras' list is pretty fuzzy, and the icon is not used in the running programs list on the lhs of the screen.

When you save something it is difficult to enter an all lower-case filename using a keyboard. The first character defaults to UC and has to be typed and then deleted to get a lc character. Is this is a Hildon/GTK issue rather than Leafpad?

Re: Leafpad
 

Yes the icon was made bigger because I had no internet when I updated this (I'll try to find one of this size on inet if it exists) and then enhanced it with a bit of gimp magic. I don't find it that fuzzy, much less than before.
For the lhs I'll have to look how to do this
Yes, that's a Hildon/GTK global setting.
Configuration panel->Text input->Case modifiying (fuzzy translation to english, don't know the exact names)

Thanks for feedback

Re: Leafpad
 

I've been using pygtkeditor instead of leafpad and I think I'll stick with it, especially for on device python development as it offers a full toolbar, source code highlighting and the ability to launch the current program from inside the editor.

Re: Leafpad
 

Good for you.

Some people (including me) have been begging for a working port of leafpad.

Re: Leafpad
 

Thx for the update.

It seems that the double icons problem in the apps menu has been solved too.

About the lhs icon (mentioned by Dont), if I'm not wrong, it was appearing in the unhildonised version and for sure in the 2007 one. Maybe it helps.

Re: Leafpad
 

Thanks Saturn.
Yes I know that it existed. Unfortunately a lot of little things changed from 2007-2008. Will look into this.
Also I have to find how to launch leafpad from the filemanager. It was not working in my last tests.

Re: Leafpad
 

free> if you need some help send me a email ... i ve do it for PyGtkEditor ...

Re: Leafpad
 

Done!
Version 2 available

Thanks Khertan

Re: Leafpad
 

This is really great! The lack of Leafpad was my one regret about upgrading to OS2008, so this is awesome news. Thanks!

Re: Leafpad
 

Hi free,

Just tried the non-hildonized version of leafpad. I was mainly interested in the ability to open from xterm with a filename as a parameter. Anyhow, it's giving me this warning:

leafpad[1286]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - gsignal.c:1019: unable to lookup signal "activate" of unloaded type 'GtkEntry'

Not sure how serious it is since it works, but I just thought you'd appreciate the heads up.

Thanks again!

Re: Leafpad
 

Quick reply...
Leafpad 0.8.17le.
Serious and reproducible (at least, for me) bug (it's possible it's a system bug triggered by leafpad; in any case, the same actions in vi don't reproduce the problem).
1. open X Terminal;
2. sudo gainroot (rootsh must be installed);
3. cd /etc/xdg/menus/
4. leafpad hildon.menu
5. edit something in the file (add a line, for instance)
6. menu->Save
7. UI is frozen; you cannot switch windows; you cannot close leafpad; Ctrl-Backspace doesn't go to thumbnails of windows; power key menu cannot be seen; you can charge the device and see the LED; you can slide the keyboard and see the lights turn on; slider works; power key allows you to shutdown.

The file is saved, as can be found after shut down - start up.

I have tried command
echo "$(leafpad hildon.menu)" > /home/user/echo
while reproducing the bug, but the echo file is empty after restart, no additional information.

What's wrong with my setup? I have updated to PR1.3 over the air, and all applications "just work", without problems.

How can I log more information about this lockup?
