GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 678864
Selection mode
Last modified: 2012-08-25 17:55:41 UTC
There needs to be a way to select and remove world clocks and alarms. Notes on the standard GNOME 3 selection pattern can be found here: https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Documents#Tentative_Design There are also wireframes for clocks here: https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/raw/master/clocks/clocks-wireframes.png
I have just pushed a rebased "editmode" branch on git that includes Seif's work on the toolbar + my first cut at selection. I decided to go fo a python port of the documents code instead of importing libgd: it is just ~100 lines, much less pain than integrating a C build system etc.
Update: the code is now on master and as far as I can tell the selection stuff is working properly. What it is missing is the floating toolbar to be displayed when elements are selected: other apps use clutter for this... I am not thrilled of adding yet another dependency just for this, but I think we should go ahead and do it anyway and then maybe later see if there is a better solution The code to port to clocks is this: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-documents/tree/src/selections.js#n719
Ok I think we are done with this. Delete works well. Thanks Paolo :D
