Hi Nicolai
Would it be possible to add a feature to auto change the profile based on the location (either from GPS or GSM cell tower id)?
Another request is to be able to switch wifi and bluetooth on/off for profiles.
Thanks.

I think it would be better to have another application for
this. ProfilesX is already quite complex.

How did you get your desktop to look like that...icons all orderly aligned vertically... oh is the bottom bar a battery life indicator? and what calendar are you using?

Hi Nicolai, any chance ProfilesX will be promoted to testing? I noted that MAG is wanting to do something similar in CSSU, would be nice to have ProfilesX functionality as not part of the system (i.e. Keep it in Extras and let user decide).
Anyway, just thought I'd ask for an update.

been thinking about another way to activate a profile which relies on the 3.5mm jack detecting the difference between a headset (earphones with a microphone) and headphones (no microphone).
So if the phones 3.5mm jack is able to recognise a headset when its inserted (or possibly bluetooth), could this action call profilesx and then profilesx change to a predetermined profile?

Hi Nicolai, Thanks for the great app.
Problem is I also lost the "volume" in the statusmenu and pressing the volume button does not invoke the yellow volume slider onscreen. Any idea how to solve this?

No, and the power menu is a totally different thing.
The profile buttons are controlled by the /etc/systemui/systemui.xml
file and it works as follows.
This entry controls the "silent" profile button:
<menuitem priority="300" name="powerup_memainmenu_silent" visible="general">
<keyfile>/home/user/.profiled/current</keyfile> <icon>statusarea_silent</icon> <return>8</return>
<po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
<callback service="com.nokia.profiled" path="/com/nokia/profiled" interface="com.nokia.profiled" method="set_profile" bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="string">silent</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>
This button is visible, when the "visible" condition holds.
The value for this visible condition is read from the keyfile
/home/user/.profiled/current. When you change your profile,
the name of the new profile is written in this file.
The action for this button is the dbus call which changes to
silent profile.
So, that means, the "silent" profile button is visible when the
contents of your /home/user/.profiled/current is:
general
And the dbus-command is send when you press this button.
A similiar entry exists for the general profile button.
You can add extra entries for your own profiles,
but this is impractical if you use many profiles.
For example, you have a third profile "home" and you want to
have this in your power menu when the current profile is "silent",
then you need to add this entry:
<menuitem priority="200" name="home" visible="silent">
<keyfile>/home/user/.profiled/current</keyfile>
<icon>general_profile</icon>
<return>9</return>
<po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
<callback service="com.nokia.profiled" path="/com/nokia/profiled" interface="com.nokia.profiled" method="set_profile" bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="string">home</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>
And if you want to have a button for your home profile when
the current profile is "general", you need to add another one:
<menuitem priority="200" name="home" visible="general">
<keyfile>/home/user/.profiled/current</keyfile>
<icon>general_profile</icon>
<return>9</return>
<po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
<callback service="com.nokia.profiled" path="/com/nokia/profiled" interface="com.nokia.profiled" method="set_profile" bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="string">home</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>
And if you want to have the "silent" profile button when the
current one is "home":
<menuitem priority="200" name="powerup_memainmenu_silent" visible="home">
<keyfile>/home/user/.profiled/current</keyfile>
<icon>statusarea_silent</icon>
<return>9</return>
<po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
<callback service="com.nokia.profiled" path="/com/nokia/profiled" interface="com.nokia.profiled" method="set_profile" bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="string">silent</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>
And for the "general" profile button.
<menuitem priority="200" name="powerup_memainmenu_general" visible="home">
<keyfile>/home/user/.profiled/current</keyfile>
<icon>general_profile</icon>
<return>9</return>
<po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
<callback service="com.nokia.profiled" path="/com/nokia/profiled" interface="com.nokia.profiled" method="set_profile" bus="session" autostart="true">
<argument type="string">general</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>
And of course for every additional profile you have to
even more entries, this grows quadratic.
n*(n-1) entries, where n is the number of profiles :-)
Nicolai
Would it be possible to replace the General/Silent power key menu button with one that calls the profile selector instead?
somewhat like when you hit profiles in the status menu

yes, a single button launcher that opens profile selection dialogue seems like the right way to go on that vs. monkeying with a multitude of entries.
a sister application to be deployed alongside profilesx.
also, seconding the call to get this in extras-testing.
and what about a facility to run an arbitrary command + 'run as root' checkbox?
doesnt address the people who want to change profile off cell ID/gps (they can use their own daemon to listen for that/change with dbus).. but ability to run a script would offload some of the implementation details responsibility to other people that want to eg: turn wifi/BT on/off, etc. for different profiles.
just my 2cent

But if you want to control the profiles settings from your
app or widget, you can use dbus-commands to
control profiled (the systems profile daemon):
get the list of available profiles:
dbus-send --session --dest=com.nokia.profiled --type=method_call --print-reply /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_profiles
get the current active profile:
dbus-send --session --dest=com.nokia.profiled --type=method_call --print-reply /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_profile
activate the "general" profile:
dbus-send --session --dest=com.nokia.profiled --type=method_call --print-reply /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_profile string:"general"
