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.

The 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

* remembers size and position, but not state due to silly gtk/gnome
