gtk.RecentManager Support (10.04 KB, patch)
2006-12-03 13:10 UTC, Tony Tsui 		none Details | Review

Description Vincent Untz 2006-07-30 12:35:47 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #349256 +++

Please help kill libegg. Your module contains some egg code that is now deprecated thanks to new features, most probably the new GTK+ 2.10 features like:

 + GtkRecent* (deprecating EggRecent)
 + GtkStatusIcon (deprecating EggTrayIcon and EggStatusIcon)
 + GtkCellRendererAccel (deprecating EggCellRendererKeys)
 + GtkAccelGroup now has features to deprecate EggAccelerator (see bug 85780)

Also, egg-screen-exec stuff has been deprecated: see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/libegg/libegg/screen-exec/README

Also, EggIconList has become GtkIconView in GTK+ 2.6.

gtk.RecentManager Support

Hi,

Here's a patch to replace EggRecent with GtkRecent*. I've also updated configure.in to require Gtk+ 2.10 and PyGtk 2.10. I'm not sure about needing to update pyobject-2.0 and gnome-python version number. With regards to gnomevfs, I used a gnomevfs function which may not be supported by older versions.

Without this patch, Gimmie cannot detect recently used files tracked by the GtkRecent* API because the file recording recently used files has changed from ~/.recently-used to ~/.recently-used.xbel

Gimmie no longer bundles egg code (except for eggtraymanager.c which has not been duplicated elsewhere).  Gimmie supports using gtk.RecentManager if available, and otherwise falls back to egg.RecentModel.
