Description Alberto Ruiz 2006-09-06 09:13:38 UTC
Theme manager has no command line arguments so a them can be installed through the comomand line interpreter.
Comment 1 Thomas Wood 2006-09-13 22:06:14 UTC
Confirmed.

Should the theme manager ask for confirmation before installing a file supplied on the command line?
Comment 2 Alberto Ruiz 2006-09-14 00:39:41 UTC
Sure,
a clear usecase here would be, a user who accidentally performs double click on a theme package. There should be an opportunity to regret.

Other kind of feedback would be worth too, for example a thumbnail of the theme at the confirmation dialog could be really useful to let the user figure out which theme is about to install. Don't know if it has implementation problems actually.

BTW, since g-t-m is able to handle URI (like drag-and-drop from art.gnome.org), I wonder if URI should be supported on the CLI side.

Comment 3 Thomas Wood 2006-09-23 23:22:11 UTC
It should use exactly the same mechanism to install the theme, so it will be able to install a theme from any URI supported by gnome-vfs.

Comment 5 Rodrigo Moya 2006-10-02 09:11:05 UTC
hmm, can this be considered a new feature? If so, just commit to HEAD, if not, commit to the 2.16 branch ASAP (that is, today, for the 2.16.1 release I'm going to do)
Comment 6 Thomas Wood 2006-10-02 09:42:20 UTC
I would consider it a new feature, so I'll be committing it to HEAD.
Comment 7 Thomas Wood 2006-10-02 22:13:27 UTC
Committed to HEAD now.
