| [13:42] <cortexuvula> Hi I am new to Ubuntu dev and is using quickly to write a small app. I want to add a splash screen (dialog with a quit and continue button) to my quickly app. Could someone direct me to a tutorial or how to | |
| [14:22] <jml> cortexuvula, hmm | |
| [14:22] <jml> cortexuvula, good question. | |
| [14:26] <jml> cortexuvula, splash screens don't normally have a quit button though. Are you thinking of something like a "Tip of the Day" thing? | |
| [14:28] <cortexuvula> medical app that I am writing so on the splash I want to indicate a warning "This app is not ....." so if you disagree the app should quit and agree then continues to main window | |
| [14:29] <cortexuvula> yeah something like a modified "tip of the day" | |
| [14:33] <jml> cortexuvula, ah ok. | |
| [14:34] <jml> cortexuvula, I think you want to make a dialog with two buttons, where one button's action is to quit and the other's is to go on to the rest of the app | |
| [14:34] <jml> cortexuvula, do you know how to make a Gtk dialog? | |
| [14:35] <jml> rebooting. brb. | |
| [14:35] <cortexuvula> jml exactly what I want | |
| [14:35] <cortexuvula> i have add a dialog with quickly add dialog warning | |
| [14:36] <dpm> cortexuvula, you might also find this tutorial interesting. It's not exactly what you're trying to do, but it touches a range of subjects that should be useful (Gtk dialogs, glade, etc) -> http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/all/diy-media-player-with-pygtk/ | |
| [14:37] <cortexuvula> dpm I will have a look at the tutorial | |
| [14:38] <dpm> cortexuvula, cool, let us know how it works for you | |
| [14:38] <cortexuvula> jml Give me a day to check the tutorial if I do not find an answer I will check back here | |
| [14:39] <jml> cortexuvula, sure. I'll be around here during UK work hours (and others will be around too) | |
| [14:39] <cortexuvula> Thanks for the help thus far :-) | |

| [15:51] <jackyalcine> How do I make my own documentation for my application? | |
| [15:51] <jackyalcine> Like I want it to show up in the Help Viewer on Ubuntu. | |
| [15:53] <jml> jackyalcine, I don't know :( | |
| [15:53] <jml> jackyalcine, that's a good question though. | |
| [15:53] <jo-erlend> jackyalcine, very good question. More like a manual than an API doc then? | |
| [15:53] <jackyalcine> Yes. | |
| [15:54] <jackyalcine> This way, I could have hyperlinks in applications link to it. | |
| [15:54] <jo-erlend> I think maybe you can use the DocBook format for that, but I'm not sure. | |
| [15:54] <jackyalcine> Although a good application shouldn't require documentation, the application I'm building (speech recognition training utility) isn't mediocre :P | |
| [15:54] <jackyalcine> Do you know where I'd have to put it? | |
| [15:54] <dpm> jackyalcine, if you are thinking of user documentation, you can run the 'quickly create ubuntu-application nameofyourapp' and there you should have an example of documentation pages | |
| [15:55] <dpm> they are the files with the .page extension | |
| [15:55] <dpm> they are in a format called Mallard, quite similar to docbook | |
| [15:56] <jackyalcine> Nifty! I'll try it out. | |
| [15:59] <dpm> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/816594/ | |
| [15:59] <dpm> oops, too late, nevermind | |
| [15:59] <pratheek_> hello, how do i get started on devloping apps for Ubuntu ! :D | |
| [16:00] <dpm> pratheek_, I love questions with easy answers :-) There you go: http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ | |
| [16:03] <pratheek_> @dpm: OK, thanks for the link ! also, if I had to make my application suitable to work in any other Linux distro (other than ubuntu, like Fedora where .rpm is used) How would I be able to do that ? | |
| [16:04] <dpm> pratheek_, quickly, the tool that page talks about, simply puts together a set of other tools that should work in any distribution | |
| [16:04] <dpm> then you'd only have to worry about the packaging, which is indeed different for every distribution | |
| [16:05] <dpm> quickly only helps you creating .deb files for Ubuntu, which work also in Debian and any derivatives | |
| [16:05] <dpm> so for rpm and any other format, you'd have to create the packages yourself | |
| [16:06] <pratheek_> @dpm: oh ok ! :-D, Is there a tool that packages in different formats as per my wish ? | |

| [16:07] <dpm> pratheek_, not that I know of, but I must admit I haven't done research on the subject | |
| [16:08] <pratheek_> ok ! anyother chatrrom where i could get help on that ? | |
| [16:08] <pratheek_> *dpm | |
| [16:08] <dpm> Guest1073, here's your example of where to find documentation if you use quickly to create your app with Python, GTK and Mallard: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/816594/ | |
| [16:08] <dpm> pratheek_, not that I know of, sorry | |
| [16:09] <pratheek_> @dpm : ok ! Thanks for all the help ! :D | |
| [16:09] <pratheek_> Bye ! | |

| [23:58] <psusi> I'm looking for an IO interface to use in a gtkmm app that I can tie to a pipe fd and have a callback whenever data arrives on the pipe, is there such a thing? | |
