Port to Unique 0.91 using the command id (12.43 KB, patch)

Description Alexandre Mazari 2007-07-10 16:30:33 UTC 
Use ebassi's Unique work to ensure unicity and communication with the existing instance instead of the bacon based solution.

Straightforward port to Unique 0.91 API

This one is a straight forward port to the Unique 0.91 API. The logic is the same as in the bacon code.
It should behave properly from my tests.

Port to Unique 0.91 using the command id

This attempt use one message per action instead of batching them. It use the predefined command id of the Unique API.
It DOESN'T work properly yet :
* the workspace, encoding and line_position are not communicated by the wire, the currently are hardcoded.
* the window selection misbehave : if --new-window filename1 filename2 are specified, a new window is created but the files are opened in the root window.

Could some gedit developer review this?

The thing is that maybe we are going to use our own system for this based on dbus, jesse and paolo should know more about this.
Comment 5 Paolo Borelli 2009-12-29 13:41:37 UTC 
I am closing this, I don't think that using libunique buys us any advantage and the current system works well (even if limited). If we switch, is to have a more powerful dbus system.
