Release Pandora config tray icon

[GuSec]

Thank you slashjaeg, that is fully what I was searching for. It's a great update really, and nice of you notaz to include it.

The menu now also opens when SIGUSR1 is caught.

It works, not very reliable but it works ! Big jump in usabillity for me !!

Done.

thanks

 

[slaeshjag]

It should be reliable

 

[thatgui]

It should be reliable

maybe I did something wrong ?

- created a shortcut via menu => settings => Desktop => Keyboard

- entered "kill -USR1 configbutton" as command

- chose [Fn] + [P] as shortcut

Sometimes it works instantly, sometimes I have to press the shortcut several times until the menu pops up

I have implemented user-definable CPU-speed presets. The menu now also opens when SIGUSR1 is caught.

To set custom presets, create the file cpu-speed inside ~/.config-button. Enter each CPU-speed on one line as a number in MHz. Note that the first entry in the file will be the last entry in the CPU-speed menu.

Someone will have to push my changes to the firmware updater. Changes are in my git-repo as usual.

According to your source code, the file is "~/.config-button/cpu-speed.conf" as opposed to just "~/.config-button/cpu-speed". It took me a while to figure this out when i was trying to get it to work, as you simply stated "cpu-speed" as the file name. Just wanted to clarify this for anyone else trying out this feature.

I don't remember changing it to that, but it seems lke you're right

In my git-repo, I have now added a plugin-manager. This should allow for more specialized plugins to be shipped with the system by default.

Old plugins are still compatible, however I do recommend that "third party" plugins get the symbols "plugin_name" and "plugin_desc" added. These are just global C strings with a name and a short description about the plugin. The name will be shown instead of, for example, "wifi.so".

All the plugins in my repo have a name and description now, although they could use some tweaking

EDIT: Worth mentioning: The plugin manager is accessed by right-clicking on the tray icon.

Very nice.

Finally I do want to use it again .

What I do miss is a program launcher.

Some menu option like the TV-out one where you have a sub menu with some programs inside?

Something I simply need to enter the command I want to execute and can add multiple commands.

BTW: is there an upgrade PND or do I upgrade via "Upgrade Pandora OS"?

 

[slaeshjag]

It will at some point be added to "upgrade pandora OS". If it's today or weeks away? Depends on when someone gets around to bump the firmware version

A generic command run plugin would be possible, will probably be the next one I add.

I hope soon .

I can do it. Or should I wait for extra stuff?

 

[slaeshjag]

Extra stuff will probably be a week or so down at the very least.

Wait for the extra stuff.

I can wait some weeks.

No need to update twice.

If you could leave a message here when everything is ready I'd be happy .

 

[notaz]

I'll update when ekianjo sends his icons then.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Will the /tmp/ temps file be cleaned ? ;^p

 

[slaeshjag]

It's in /var/tmp now. I would've put it in /var/run, but it's not world writable on my laptop

 

[notaz]

OS feeds now have latest version in which you can choose icon sizes.

 

[F_Slim]

Thanks, I'm happy to have the large icons back

Hey slashjag. I am thinking about adding a plugin for easily switching between different alsa sinks, especially for bluetooth audio, based on these scripts: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/pandora-audio-switch.77143/
I guess it is very straight forward, to directly use the existing configs, but it would be very handy to be able to setup new devices directly in the configbutton-application. At least in my version there is a "Preferences" button in the plugin options, but no plugin is using them and at first sight I did not see any preference hook used while loading plugin library files in the configLoad function.

Is there any way to define preferences or is it just the relict of a never implemented feature?

Best wishes, Ziz

Edit: Well, right after I wrote this, I saw, that the CPU speed plugin indeed uses the Preferences button. So I will have a look there.

Edit2: Hm, my CPU speed plugin just prompts a messagebox, that settings are not implemented yet. However in the source code this message is commented out and some gtk code should be run instead: https://github.com/slaeshjag/pandora-configbutton/blob/master/plugin/cpuspeed.c#L54 Is there still work in progress?

Edit3: Well, I just compiled the most recent cpu plugin myself and now I got the nice gtk option window. I guess, It will try to copy some stuff from here.

I forked configbutton and added the plugin. It still needs some work, but already works well: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/sound-output-plugin-for-pandora-configbutton.79781/
@slaeshjag: While doing so I also improved the Makefile of the plugins, if you are interested I could make a pull request for the Makefile, the soundoutput plugin or both in the end.
