 Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 8:11 am Post subject: Catching Up |
|
i've been offline for a while as I change ISPs [an interesting challenge]. Just catching up on this. I like the suggesteion of using zipped galleries.
In relation to clipart for NeoOffice, I have been in touch with a chap in Hungary who has developed a whole package for OpenOffice.org, which installs with OpenOffice.org. The installer adds a package including icons, templates, fonts and clipart. Not sure how his installer handles updates to OpenOffice.org itself. He seems to be hosting downloads independently of OpenOffice.org at the moment, although I think he would like them to host it.
However, I think what he is doing is moving in a different direction to us. His is a mega package. I think we were agreed that it would be useful if we had a clipart package up to say 30MB in size, which got people going, and a way for them to build their own packages onto that. The packages I lobbed up Easter-time at
http://www.geocities.com/pbmaunet/Page_four.html
could still form the basis of this, but we need to cut them by about two-thirds in number.

actually that page was the basis for the clip art program i've been writing. (i've installed science.zip about a thousand times)
i figured we could have one big program with all the zips, or one empty one just for drag and drop.
0.1 is almost done, i still need to add a preference for installation location. |

Hi Jacob
FWIW, I gave the program a try, but I get this [dialog box] message after I put in my password:
clipart
checkdir: cannot create extraction directory: /
Applications/ OpenOffice.org 2.0.app,' Contents/
openoffice.org2.0 /share /gallery
Edit OK
Will watch with interest, and try out the new version/s.

are you trying to install in neo or oo.o?
if you simply double click the program, a preference dialog will pop up, make sure it is set to the one you want.
i'll take a look at the code later tonight as well. |

really? if you just double click the app (no zip involved) nothing happens?
if so, that's not good. |

 my apologies, Jacob. I have now read the instructions and followed them properly. All go. Worked as suggested.

(note, this is for oo.ox11, neo version is next.)
it is not so pretty yet, but so far it seems to work:
http://neowiki.sixthcrusade.com/index.php/Launcher_-_Developer
one issue, despite using the icon code, this launcher program doesn't support drag and drop. probably my lack of xcode knowledge, so i'll work on that.
code, program and xcode files on that link. any feedback is appreciated.

forgive me, i am tired, so i'm posting just this. the files and code to follow...
i've re-written the neo launch icons in applescript. why? well, i needed them in applescript form to bring them easily to xcode for the launcher program. will they do the same thing as the ones already made? I hope so. anyway, later i'll post the files and code for testing.

oh and i forgot something, i made the launcher program prettier.
but, i can make it a droplet or a window... i can't seem to get the two to work together.. (grrr) probably something obvious
(anyone know how to load a .nib file via applescript command?)
oh, more importantly... how do i change the icon of a program? my applescript icon files need to look prettier. |

about icons:
If the progam is part of a .nib, edit the Info.plist to use the new icon.
| Code: |
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
<string>yourIcon.icns</string>
|
If You want to associate some filetypes with your app (and use your icons for them):
| Code: |
<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>doc</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
<string>doc_icon.icns</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>Example Document</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Viewer</string>
<key>LSIsAppleDefaultForType</key>
<true/>
<key>LSTypeIsPackage</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</array>
|
Else just copy and paste the icon from one file info (cmd-i) to the other...

NeoOffice Launcher 0.1 Alpha-1 is released
http://neowiki.sixthcrusade.com/index.php/Launcher_-_Developer
the core code is based off of these icons (the Neo Stub Apps by ToonTown - You rock!):
http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=20280#20280
What does it do?
Double click the icon and the program will run, giving you options of NeoOffice programs.
IGNORE THE TEMPLATE TAB. for now.
Issues?
here is what i know so far:
if you use the 'open' command when Neo is not yet started, it will open the files as desired, however the NeoLauncher will hang (Application Not Responding). Works fine if Neo is running.
if you open 'BASE' or 'IMPRESS' when Neo is not yet started you get a wizard. if that wizard is cancelled instead of creating a new document, this NeoLauncher will hang.
oh and the developer page looks like my room.
