  • Gedit follow-up

    This post will answer the questions generated by the previous one (or at least try to). One of the main concern is “Why use yet another search UI ?”, evince/firefox/epiphany use more or less the same approach, a bottom bar that pops-in causing no reflow of text. Gedit uses a sidebar that cause text to…

  • Gedit development

    Gedit is the gnome text editor, you all know that, i thought i might post some screenies of the latest interface improvements (i just make PR for them, i didn’t really work on it) Here you have on the left, the new find/replace sidebar, allowing a far better search experience than the crappy over-the-top dialog.…

  • Nautilus, part 2

    So i made a little progress, now the files being downloaded have an emblem progressively filling up. I made a movie of that, it’s a bit wacky and not fluid, but i don’t know how to do properly (format ogg/theora, 1280×800 so you may need to resize it a bit). It’s buggy (notice i don’t…

  • Epiphany-Nautilus integration

    Here is my latest little project, integrate epiphany downloads with nautilus. First a mockup. This shows the normal nautilus spatial window, but in the corner there is a little addition, a download status bar indicating how many files are being downloaded in that particular folder, as well as the global download progress. Now, the actual…

  • Epiphany Auto-Reload extension

    A little new extension between two exams to study 🙂 This one reloads a tab periodically, for the moment every 60 seconds, but it already has the code to adapt itself to page changes: When the page has changed since the last update, reload the page in half the time as before When the page…

  • Epiphany RSS extension

    Well, another update This one allows to directly subscribe to a feed when right clicking on it’s link in the page (feature asked by “nud” on IRC) Beside that I started looking at the epiphany-mono package, to allow mono extensions be easily written for epiphany, the binding is quite complete, but very buggy at the…

  • Tomboy reminder plugin

    This plugin seems to match the needs of many people ad i always get mails from happy users suggesting things or giving some code. I released the 0.5 version, which adds time handling ! So you can write somthing like ! 23 april at 3pm or ! 11 avril a 23:30 Very useful 😉 Now…

  • Epiphany rss-extension

    The extension finally made it into cvs, you can get it by getting a fresh checkout of the epiphany-extensions module on gnome cvs servers. Last night I also added a context menu on the list of feeds to copy the feed address in clipboard, and allwed to drage the feed in any text entry to…

  • Muine Random play

    I love muine ! When I want to listen to some good music, I fire up muine, then click on the Add Album button. Now what album to choose ? Every time it’s the same thing I just can’t choose an album and play it. I decided to fix that by adding a Random button…

  • Epiphany hacking

    These days I have been hacking on an epiphany extension poetically called “rss”. It allows to retreive feeds in any page, and register these feeds in your favorite feed reader (so it’s not a firefox-like handling of rss feeds) ! All this can be accomplished using dbus, patching popular feed readers such as straw, liferea…
