[NEW] Fast reply plugin

[Ivan!]

Hello

I've written this little plugin...
With this plugin the user can reply with a buddy without opening his conversation window, the plugin adds an entry in the tray icon menu that opens a little window to chat...



please report any bug, or feature you want =)

Updated version (29/03/2010 - 2)
Changelog:
- Fixed "2 or more windows" bug
- Added some comments in the code
- Changed description

Hello
for other developers:
I tried to add an optional feature, use the middle click on the tray icon to call the window...
I tried to use an eventbox, but i got an error on tray.add(eventbox)...

the error:

Code:

  File "/home/ivan/.config/emesene1.0/pluginsEmesene/Fast-replyDEV.py", line 48, in start
    self.tray.add(self.eventBox)

AttributeError: 'gtk.StatusIcon' object has no attribute 'add'

But also emesene in TrayIcon.py does this: (line 122)

Code:

        self.eventBox = gtk.EventBox()
        self.eventBox.set_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK)
        self.eventBox.connect_object('button_press_event', self.iconClickPosix, self.eventBox)
[...]
        self.eventBox.add(self.image)
        self.tray.add(self.eventBox)

(self.tray[mine] and self.tray[emesene] are both gtk.StatusIcon, but I imported mine from emesene...)

post the code which generates error

@DarKprince:
This is the code (the line is highlighted by >)

Code:

    def start(self):
        '''start the plugin'''
        self.enabled = True
        self.add_menu_item(self.controller) #aggiungo la voce nel menu della tray
        self.handlerId = self.connect('switchboard::message', self.receiveMessage)

        self.eventBox = gtk.EventBox()
        self.eventBox.set_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK)
        self.eventBox.connect_object('button_press_event', self.on_tray_click, self.eventBox)

        self.tray = self.controller.trayIcon.tray
>       self.tray.add(self.eventBox)
        self.eventBox.show_all()
        self.tray.show_all()

        self.mail = 'no one'

This code is take from emesene/TrayIcon.py

Code:

    def buildTrayIconPosix(self):
        '''Build the trayIcon for linux'''

        self.eventBox = gtk.EventBox()
        pixbuf = self.theme.getImage('trayicon')
        self.image = gtk.Image()
        self.image.set_from_pixbuf( pixbuf )

        self.eventBox.set_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK)
        self.eventBox.connect_object('button_press_event', self.iconClickPosix, self.eventBox)

        self.tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()
        self.tooltips.set_tip(self.eventBox, 'emesene')
       
        self.eventBox.add(self.image)
        self.tray.add(self.eventBox)
        self.eventBox.show_all()
        self.tray.show_all()

Awesome!

I'm glad that you liked it ^^

[DarKprince]

you're tryin' to use a method which doesn't exist for the gtk.StatusIcon type. the line that contains that method is using a "egg.trayicon.TrayIcon('emesene')" object , that's why you get that error

[Ivan!]

Thanks, I didn't noticed that...

However I've added this feature (the middle click on the tray now opens the window, faster)...


There is still a little bug, if from the plugins page, the plugin is disabled-enabled, after a middle click in the tray, 2 (or more) windows are opened >.<
i'm working on this...

[DarKprince]

try to add these two lines in the stop(self) method :

self.disconnect('switchboard::message', self.receiveMessage)
self.tray.disconnect('button-press-event', self.on_tray_click)

let me know if it solves your problem

[Ivan!]

Thanks!

I changed a bit stop()

Now this is fully working ^^
