A digital dice, in Cairo, gtk+ and C:

ENTER, r or a mouse click rolls
q quits

I created a small widget deriving of GtkWindow which I called GtkDrop (I prepended the Gtk in hope that it might be useful enough to get included in gtk+).

I once wanted to create a popup calendar for gnome-schedule and this is basically that code put into a widget (and ported to C).

It is intended to be a ‘popup’/'dropdown’ container where you can add any widget and it will behave similar to menus or comboboxes. And you will be able to use the widget inside it, ie: write in a GtkEntry or press a GtkButton.

Here is a screenshot:

In case you want to try it out download it, the test program is included.

Here is an ebuild for for gnome-schedule-2.0.0-rc1:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-schedule/trunk/dist/gentoo/gnome-schedule-2.0.0_rc1.ebuild?revision=1041&view=markup

I have made alot of changes since the release, and when the updated documentation is ready (thanks to Rodrigo M. Fombellida) I will most likely make a new rc release in the hope that also the translations of the documentation will be updated. And then eventually.. the final 2.0 should be ready.

Current, managing templates:

While working on the calendar for the at editor I run into another inlogicality with gtk, it turnes out that on Ubuntu w.get_position () returns the position without the decorators, while on Gentoo (and probably others) the decorators are included. I am now appending the offset i get from w.window->get_geometry () to get_position () and hope that the behaviour is the same on Ubuntu.

Update 2007-12-26:
Seems get_geometry and get_position didn’t do the trick, get_origin () however behaves correctly on both Ubuntu and Gentoo. Which makes me wonder a bit of the use of especially get_position, but the get_geometry and get_frame_extents or get_root_origin neither makes the confusion smaller.

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
* 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
