Ubuntu indicator applet support

[daas88]

Hi everyone, I'd like to request a feature: indicator applet support for the gnome panel. I'm getting used to that behavior and it's meant to be the default behavior for future versions of ubuntu. Could you please add a plugin or something to support that?

[daas88]

no one seem to care...

Have you asked the Ubuntu developers?

[daas88]

No I haven't, because I guessed I had to ask deluge developers first. But I think I'll file it as a bug in launchpad too, thanks for the suggestion.

Hey,

look if you mean by indicator, to tell you what torrent been added and what torrent has been finished, then you should use deluge 1.3.0_rc1, which there is a plugin named 'Execute' where you can execute scripts there to indicate events, so i use this script written in python to fire a notification when a torrent is finished downloading:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python
try:
    import gtk, pygtk, os, os.path, pynotify, sys
    pygtk.require('2.0')
except:
    print "Error: need python-notify, python-gtk2 and gtk"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if not pynotify.init("Timekpr notification"):
        sys.exit(1)

    torrentname=sys.argv[2]
    n = pynotify.Notification("Download Finished", torrentname, "/usr/share/app-install/icons/deluge.png")
    #n = pynotify.Notification("Moo title", "test", "file:///path/to/icon.png")
    n.set_urgency(pynotify.URGENCY_CRITICAL)
    n.set_timeout(10000) # 10 seconds
    n.set_category("device")

    #Call an icon
    helper = gtk.Button()
    icon = helper.render_icon(gtk.STOCK_DIALOG_WARNING, gtk.ICON_SIZE_DIALOG)
    n.set_icon_from_pixbuf(icon)

    if not n.show():
        print "Failed to send notification"
        sys.exit(1)

check this screen shoot


I'm planning on writing a plugin specially for this after i finish my exams...

hope this is useful
