Un Tip Moribundo de KDE (dcop)

June 7th, 2006

En un episodio del podcast de wedoit4you.com mencione que uno de los atractivos de KDE es su poder de integracion, en el episodio pasado comente nuevamente sobre el tema y hable de DCOP en KDE.

Creo que es hora que ilustre un poco mas como utilizar DCOP (que va a ser remplazado por DBUS y que aun no le he echado mano).

Supon que quieres utilizar Ctrl+Alt+M para mostrar el escritorio, pon que no ten gusta tener que hacer click en el boton opcional que puedes poner en el kicker de KDE.

Sencillo, puedes acceder a esa funcionalidad del kicker, via dcop.

Si quieres hacerlo de manera grafica puedes abrir kdcop y explorar todos los metodos
disponibles del Kicker.

Vas a encontrar lo siguiente.

Si ejecutas ese metodo toggleShowDesktop() vas a esconder o mostrar todas las ventanas. Nice no?

Como accedes esto via linea de comandos…

Juega un poco, y siente el poder:

Si hacemos unicamente dcop

anleon@ubuntu:~$ dcop
konqueror-24277
kwin
kicker
katapult-7854
konsole-7907
amarok
kded
katapult-7816
knotify
kio_uiserver
kcookiejar
klauncher
knotes
khotkeys
kopete
kbluetoothd
kdesktop
klipper
ksmserver
kaccess

Nos mostrara una lista de programas que estan registrados en DCOP. Si quiero ver lo que hay adentro del kicker por ejemplo (El kicker es la barra donde tenemos los iconos, y programas abiertos)


anleon@ubuntu:~$ dcop kicker
qt
0x82a5a7c
0x82b7d04
ClockApplet
KDirNotify-1
KIO::Observer
KIO::Scheduler
MainApplication-Interface
MenuManager
Mixer0
Panel (default)
kicker
ksycoca

Veo que kicker, tiene un objeto “kicker” quizas este es el handle al Kicker como tal, veamos


anleon@ubuntu:~$ dcop kicker kicker
QCStringList interfaces()
QCStringList functions()
void configure()
void restart()
void addExtension(QString desktopFile)
void popupKMenu(QPoint globalPos)
void clearQuickStartMenu()
bool highlightMenuItem(QString menuId)
void showKMenu()
void toggleShowDesktop()
bool desktopShowing()
void showConfig(QString config,int page)
void showTaskBarConfig()
void configureMenubar()

Y ya tienen la idea…(dcop kicker kicker toggleShowDesktop) y ya se pueden imaginar lo pansa que pudo ser programar ese KDCOP, aunque estoy seguro que ellos utilizaron directamente la API de DCOP para mostrarte todo lo que esta disponible.

Entonces… supon que quieres por ejemplo, de una forma bien rebuscada, poner en Ctrl+Alt+M que se muestre o se escondan las ventanas abiertas…

Una forma podria ser, haces un programita bash en un directorio ~/bin que usas generalmente para utilidades creadas por ti…..


anleon@ubuntu:~$ cat ~/bin/toogleDesktop.sh
#!/bin/bash
dcop kicker kicker toggleShowDesktop
(Presiona Ctrl+D para guardar)

anleon@ubuntu:~$ chmod +x ~/bin/toggleDesktop.sh

Total que tienes tu tonto programa, si quieres lo ejecutas


anleon@ubuntu:~$ ./bin/toggleDesktop.sh

Magia!, se esconden, o se muestran las ventanas, vuelve a intentar para que veas.

Empiezas a ver el poder…

Ahora simplemente agrega este programa al submenu de utilidades de KDE (Si, donde esta la K, dale click,
y luego dale click derecho al menu de utilidades “Edit Menu”…), y asignale una combinacion de teclas Ctrl+Alt+M, y listo.

Ahora solo deja volar tu imaginacion, e imaginate todo lo que le puedes agregar a tu aplicacion, puedes interactuar con muchos programas que estan instalados en tu maquina con simples llamadas DCOP.

Ahora… el equipo de KDE anuncio recientemente que DCOP esta descontinuado (awww), pero al menos tienes una idea de que se trata, y ahora KDE va a utilizar D-BUS.

Voy a investigar al respecto, y cuando tenga un ejemplo de como utilizarlo, escribo un tutorial similar a este.

Saludos.

X-Men III – The best of the 3

May 27th, 2006

I went yesterday to the opening of X-Men III, and I found it as the best of the 3 movies (Wish it had been this way for the Matrix, my favorite is the second, the third had a too simple ending)

I was expecting a lot from the Da Vinci code, but they couldn’t make it as rich as the book because there’s moronic people in the world who wouldn’t understand or appreciate the historic details, the simbology explanations of the book or better yet, the code breaking. So, I guess that’s why I didn’t enjoy it as much, it was good though.

But this year, the movie I’ve enjoyed more, the one that kept me entertained, laughing, and didn’t let me blink was X-Men III, I truly recommend this film, specially if you saw the last 2 installments.

The second movie I enjoyed more from what this year has brought us has been V for Vendetta, there was a lot of political message and hints of how fucked up our political systems are while they present a great story.

Now I’m looking forward to see “An Inconvenient Truth” a film about the effects of global warming, you should see the trailer, it’s a film presented by Al-Gore, who maybe doing a little political campaign while creating awareness of this problem.

So, don’t wait another second and get your tickets to see X-Men III this weekend.

Oh. and reading user comments I found out that there’s a scene at the end of the credits, which I missed cause I stormed out of the theater, so I have a legitimate reason to go see it again, grrrr.

KDE Multimedia 2006

May 24th, 2006

I hope my friend Kakei reads this post, we sure have complained a lot about Linux’s multimedia support, this way he’ll know something is being done. Look!

From the 26th to the 28th of May, an international KDE developer meeting about multimedia will take place in the Annahoeve in the Netherlands. Its aim will be to make the pervasive role of multimedia less of a burden to manage for users and developers.

People experience multimedia every day. Sound and animation are as common as written text. With the advent of more powerfull desktop computers, users want to be able to have the same experience while working at their computer as in real life. They want to play and organize their favorite music, watch a movie, and burn their own CDs and DVDs without having to put great effort into getting the respective applications to work. A professional desktop environment should aim to offer these by default, with good support for the majority of possible hardware configurations, in order to gain a solid user base.

So I found out about this through the amarok developer list, some of the team members are arranging meetings in Amsterdam, Hostel rooms, presentations,etc. Must be very exciting to be there for the KDE Multimedia 2006.

It’s amazing how such a great system is put together with people from all over the world.

The Agenda reminds me of the Plone Sprint I attended in Austria in February this year. Coding, Fun, Coding, a few informal presentations of what teams are working on, and at the end of the day wrap ups where everybody says what they’ve accomplished, plus also discussing and asking question to teams doing related work. Wish I could be there on the KDE Multimedia 2006, but first I guess I should become a KDE dev. :p

Hopefully we’ll do something similar for ,Frostwire in the future.

Macs aren’t as gay anymore

May 24th, 2006

I remember I used to hear, and still hear from Intel PC users, the phrase:

Macs are gay

And I believe this was the case before Mac announced they’d go to use Intel processors.

More and more I see how former PC users make the shift to Mac, and more interestingly, software developers are using them too, they have proven to be a much better development environment than Windows (although serious software developers use Linux of course). As I meet hardcore opensource developers, java developers, web developers and bloggers, I see them with Mac notebooks under the arm.

Most of them keep running Mac OSX with lots of Open Source software on it, I’m one of them. With my terminal, emacs, Firefox and all it’s developer extensions

So, I can say for myself, my Mac fulfills all my needs, Mac OSX behaves like a Linux with Sound/Video editing software, the only thing you need to overcome is dealing with the damn Apple key and having to drag windows by the title bar only.

What are you waiting for? Your last excuse would’ve been saying “Macs are gay”
now it’s not an excuse anymore, dare to try something different. If you’re a Linux user
the switch will be very simple, for Windows users maybe not as much, but you won’t ever
want to go back once you learn how to live without it, everything works.
