Description Bastien Nocera 2007-02-22 11:42:49 UTC
Just for tracking for now, see Bug 410758
Comment 1 Debajyoti Bera 2007-12-02 02:19:26 UTC
419758 is fixed. So I guess beagle should use the xml based keybinding ? Is tomboy or anyone else using it so someone can figure out how to use the keybinding code ? 

I have two related concerns, (1) will the new style keybinding be usable on non-gnome desktops as well ? (2) will it require beagle any external dependencies (e.g. gconf - beagle does not depend on gconf now).
Comment 2 Sandy Armstrong 2007-12-02 22:56:21 UTC
Tomboy's not using this yet.  We have an identical bug filed, though.

Easy, it's explained there:
http://live.gnome.org/ControlCenter/ApplicationDefinedKeybindings

And is also used by metacity and compiz.

1) The keybinding is just a UI to present to the user, so you could provide a similar interface for KDE, etc. or have people modify GConf directly
2) Yes, Beagle would need to add a GConf dependency to check which keybinding to capture.
Comment 4 Joe Shaw 2007-12-03 13:59:28 UTC
I believe the GNOME UI does depend on GConf currently, so I don't think adding this is a problem.

Comment 6 André Klapper 2018-07-03 09:56:14 UTC
Beagle is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in early 2011. Its codebase has been archived (see bug 796735):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/beagle/commits/master

"tracker" is an available alternative.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
