Extremely easy!
Or:
Code:
def shorten_text(self, variable_holding_text):
    if len(variable_holding_text) > 18:
        new_variable = variable_holding_text[0:15] + " ..."
    return new_variable
After all, if you can hold 15 chars with " ..." you can hold at least 17, and usually 18, chars without.

That's good news.

Could you please implement a temporary solution to delete/edit bookmarks?

I've already did add removing bookmarks using the star when there is bookmark already. I have some things yet to do before the next release though.

True, True. This is really something that should be changeable in the settings (which should be a Control Panel applet. K, TrueJournals? ).

I have a programming rule: if I find myself putting an arbitrary hard-coded value into my program, chances are it should be user-configurable.

So, shorten_text version 2:

Code:
def shorten_text(self, variable_holding_text):
    settings = self.get_settings() # a function to get all user settings. This should be a list.
    if len(variable_holding_text) > settings['title_length']:
        end_length = settings['title_length'] - 3
        new_variable = variable_holding_text[0:end_length] + " ..."
    return new_variable

I think that'll work. Never tested using a variable as a slice index, though... (translated, it'll cause you plugin to silently fail like all problems with Python hildon-desktop plugins do).

Btw, these changes to the Tear bookmarks remove the need for VBox and look good on the dark Echo background (also add left alignment):

Code:
       for row in self.c:
             menuitem = gtk.ImageMenuItem()
             label = gtk.Label("")
             label.set_markup("<span color='#7090BA'><b>"+self.html_escape(str(row[1]))+"</b></span>\n<span foreground='#FFF'>%s</span>" % row[2])
             label.set_alignment(0, 0)
             menuitem.add(label)
             self.menu.append(menuitem)
             menuitem.connect('activate',self.open_url,row[2])

       #menu_item = gtk.SeparatorMenuItem()
       #self.menu.append(menu_item)
Right now i'm directly using white for the bookmark url, but if we can get the theme fg color will be best. I tried with

Code:
fgcolor = menu_item.get_child().get_style().text[0]
and with
Code:
scheme = gtk.Object(gtk.Settings().get_default()).get("gtk-color-scheme")
But I'm not very good with Python and even less with Hildon Desktop and wasn't able to see the error messages which I was getting to check what I'm receiving. Maybe someone else can take it from here?

Doesn't work for me. I use 0.3pre4 ...

Python hildon-desktop applets/plugins always silently fail. At least on the device (I hear you can get the debug text on scratchbox...if I can ever get it installed).

I'll take a look at it later and see if I can figure out how to do it.

I had an other thought about the bookmark manager: what about mer? The microb manager won't be there so maybe we need a new one.
