I have finally implemented support for templates in the new-ui branch of gnome-schedule. Among a few other things this was the last big remaining feature.
I added the option to create a task from template in the ‘New’ dropdown box and to the addwindow (before you had to choose it from a combobox inside the editors). Also the addwindow now uses buttons not radiobuttons.
As I/we get closer to the 2.0-beta release this is the time to come with suggestions for gnome-schedule. I’ve allready removed some suggestions and implemented others so the ideas should be quite good and not require too much time.
The only big task left is the re-implementation of templates.
Anyway, lately I have added some (annoying?) dialogs informing about the working directory of the tasks, but you can stop them from coming by clicking the ‘Don’t show’ button.
The most important _new_ feature is probably the possibility to run tasks directly from gnome-schedule and have the output displayed in a terminal waiting for you to press a button to exit. This should of course work perfectly, but is something that should be throughly tested.
I am now using the ‘appointment-new.svg’ icon from Tango as the icon for ‘at’ releated things.
As said, now is the time for suggestions; send them to me, post a comment on this bug, or post a new bug.
Tags: design, glade, gtk, linux, pythonThe last days I have been progressing on the new interface for gnome-schedule and have now fully implemented the new editors for ‘at’ and ‘crontab’, except templates and one pop-up calendar for ‘at’. I hope to get it at bit tested in the near future, and somewhen soon release a beta for version 2.
The discussion (if you can call it a discussion) has mostly been going on on the gnome bugzilla.
What I need:
- An icon for ‘at’/one-time jobs
- Testing and suggestions on the UI
And finally two screenshots:
Here’s the latest changelog entries:
* new crontab editor fully works
* deleted old one
* new field to the main treemodel for timestring_advanced; the timestring shown in advanced mode. Effectively only affecting @reboot entries now showing _(”At reboot”) and not 5 x @reboot
* advanced view toggle button behaves
* set version to 2.0.0-BETA
* remembers size and position, but not state due to silly gtk/gnome
* removed support.py, translates thoughicon.py
* src/gnome-schedule.glade: Formatting changed of entire file while switching to glade-3
* Oh.. forgot this file, here’s a summary
* From trunk: Bugfix where some dates in the future wouldn’t be accepted.
* at editor fully works
* added icon to at editor
* added icons to drop down menu
* removed exit button
* new icon for gnome-schedule by kiddo
* created new crontab interface in glade, needs to be attached
* at parser locale ignorant
* gnome-schedule desktop entry in preferences

Many thanks.
Gnome-schedule 1.2.0
Gnome-schedule is a graphical configuration tool for crontab and at daemons, it is written in python with pygtk. You can add reccurent task and task that will be executed only once. You can make templates for easy access to tasks you often use.
Since 1.1.0 there is a datafile for each job that is created with Gnome-schedule in ~/.gnome/gnome-schedule.
This release fixes a whole bunch of bugs available for examination in the gnome bugzilla and ubuntu bugs, the parsing procedures have as well been upgraded and are using hopefully even more adaptable and stable methods.
Also translations of the documentation and new translations of the program has been added and updated, at the moment gnome-schedule is translated to 34 languages (from which not all are complete).
The latest development code can be found in the gnome subversion repositories.

So now the windows version of the famous Simplexifier has been released, with absolutely no guarantees. With an exceptionally short testing period as background I would highly recommend to make som backups.
Have a look at the main simplexifier page.
I made a program called Simplexifier that renames JPEG files based on a user customized pattern and EXIF data, making it possible to rename a whole bunch of files at once into something like:
