... and if you're only interested in selected files simply replace the "*.svg" in your command above with "%aList("Selected")%".

Could't find the feature also for dbus

Code:

qdbus org.krusader.krusader-`pidof krusader` /krusader/MainWindow_1 org.kde.KMainWindow.activateAction 'new tab'

opens a new tab, but there is no way (at least i didnt find it) to set the dir.

if this is right, there should be also an option for this in dbus.

I see. I had examined a few programs. Superkaramba (also a qt program) for example. It looks like, what I imagine. But the qtiplot (I didn't know about until now), looks good too.

Yes that would be an important point. People should not be forced to learn a new languag. Ruby, Javascript, Python would let the user enough choice.
And the cool thing ist, that all plugins (ruby, python) side by side would work.

Yes, best to have to change few, best nothing in the core and to have the plugin management, loading, starting, ... outside (best in a new source directory).

Yes.

I imagine, one could also remove certain features from the core, so it would be not to bloated, and that writing as plugins. For Instance, I never need certain functions such as split file, ...

Yes I am generally interested in plugin support.

If you want to run it on all files in the active directory (without selecting any files) you can use the same command you've posted. It will automatically run in the directory of the active panel.

how does one run a command to all files on a certain dir?

thx alot in advance

Python plugin architecture for Krusader conceivable? :: General Discussions

I am pondering, if its possible to create a plugin system, best with python, to access all the objects with its members. I took a look at kross, but it seems, only "slot" member functions can be accessed. Also there is no possibilty to access pointer members. For example: kApp.mainview.dosomething.

Anyone know something about. Would such a system so much work, that one could say, better forget it.

Git support through User Actions? :: User Action System

Has anyone tinkered with adding git repository support through User Actions? I'm playing with some I wrote, but they're really very simple, and probably dangerous due to lack of error checking...

git add %aList("Selected")%
git commit -m %Ask("Commit Message?")%
git cp %aList("Selected")% %Ask("Move Destination?", %oPath%)%
git mv %aList("Selected")% %Ask("Move Destination?", %oPath%)%
git stat

In the bigger picture, it'd be nice to have repository support work similarly to the syntax highlighting features of most text editors, i.e. with a pull-down mode selector box that usually takes care of itself, but still provides unobtrusive user feedback and manual override. Anyone know if this has been done in an OFM here or elsewhere?

Cheers,
Drew

Hi,

this bug really exists, but it comes from KDE/Qt below. I reported this bug here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224442.

It can be reproduced in the following way:
- Select (but not execute) the third command from top of the history
- Enter the second command manually and execute
- This results in execution of the third and not the second command.
It's not only 2nd/3rd, it affects any command from 2nd to (selection-1).

There's a quick fix - the 'real' fix should be done in KDE/Qt of course.
Just add a setEditTet() after addToHistory() in GUI/kcmdline.cpp to reset the lineedit to the current command.

Code:

--- ../krusader-2.1.0-beta1-vanilla/krusader/GUI/kcmdline.cpp 2009-10-31 23:11:25.000000000 +0100
+++ krusader/GUI/kcmdline.cpp 2010-01-28 13:36:54.000000000 +0100
@@ -164,6 +164,8 @@ void KCMDLine::slotRun()
QString panelPath = path->text().left(path->text().length() - 1);

cmdLine->addToHistory(command1);
+ // bugfix: current editline is destroyed by addToHistory() in some cases
+ cmdLine->setEditText(command1);

if (command1.simplified().left(3) == "cd ") { // cd command effect the active panel
QString dir = command1.right(command1.length() - command1.indexOf(" ")).trimmed();

But I have made also some other patches for me. I don't know, how to separate that (with the diff command), to create only a patch which applies to that certain feature.

I suggest to use git for making/maintaining patches. Using git-svn you could track krusader's development in one branch. Then create separate branches for each feature. In an other branch you can merge all your feature branches to get the feature rich version for your day-to-day work. To submit patches, simply tell git to create a patch between a feature branch and the svn tracking branch.

(This may sound a bit like black magic if you have not used version control before, but trust me, the time-invest to learn it is really worth it! http://gitready.com/ is a good starting point)

new tab command line argument :: New Feature Requests

Subject: new tab command line argument

Hello,

it would be nice to have a command line argument like --left for a new tab.
e.g. --new-tab-left

Especially when you use the Option "Allow only one Instance of Krusader running" it would be very helpfull, since the --left argument is not working for a running instance. Maybe this could be changed too. So that the --left argument changes the current direcory in the active left tab, when the option "Allow only one Instance running" is switched on.
Think of --right equivalent.

This changes would make it possible integrate krusader better in kde. For example in Device Notifier.

http://www.krusader.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2380&highlight=tab
Here is a solution for the problem. But it is realy a bad hack and more a work around than a solution.
