#19 python3 support

Photon — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 07:20:49 -0000

I think, it is needed for the integrated terminal widget (and possibly for some more small things) but the core functionality works without PyGTK indeed.

AFAIK medit doesn't require PyGTK, at least in pkgsrc.

Actually medit works without PyGTK (though GIMP still requires PyGTK).

#19 python3 support

Hi, thanks for the patch, I'm also looking into getting rid of python2 in Medit! However, as far as I understand, this involves getting rid of PyGTK, at least in the distro I am using (Arch Linux) python2 is a dependency for PyGTK. I assume, the patch doesn't take care of getting rid of PyGTK, does it?

python3 support

It looks medit uses python 2.x to generate several files.

I've just modified python scripts in tools dir to make them generate the same files using python 3.x for pkgsrc, as an attached diff.

I would like to share this change with other medit users.

Thanks,

#17 Entry to stop running process from output pane's contextual menu

Hibou57 — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 08:24:59 -0000

but I don't understand the list of processes
suggestion. What's an example scenario, what
would those processes be?

An example scenario is when one did not noticed a previous user tool have not terminated (it hangs, is long or anything else) and start another tool or the same tool, while the other is not finished.

I did not knew there is a tool bar in the output pane. Is this something plug‑ins can have access to?

#17 Entry to stop running process from output pane's contextual menu

It makes sense to add the context menu entry (or perhaps in the output pane toolbar), but I don't understand the list of processes suggestion. What's an example scenario, what would those processes be?

Entry to stop running process from output pane's contextual menu

Hibou57 — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 20:58:17 -0000

When a process is running, as a user tool as an example, there is an entry in the Tools menu, to stop the process. This could be relevant to also have this entry appearing in the output pane's contextual menu.

By the way, a list of the processes currently running, would be useful too, but that's less obvious to do, I guess (the proposal of adding an already existing menu entry additionally in an other menu, is more straightforward).

#16 Window Name+Instance Properties

mikar — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 21:20:47 -0000

I would be glad to test it.

From reading a couple of sources it might be as easy as adding something like the following for every init of the windows medit produces.

And defining xdpy and xwin i guess. I would love to help but up to now I've just coded the occasional bash script.
From looking at the medit source code I wouldn't know where to begin. There seems to be no reference in the medit code to Xlib at all.

But I'll gladly volunteer to test any code you may conjur up ;)
Cheers

#16 Window Name+Instance Properties

Sounds reasonable, though it may be hard to implement for standard dialogs (Save/Load). Also, I have no idea how to test it, and I use windows most of the time.
Anyway, just WM_CLASS thing, right?
