GSoC weekly report 1

May 28, 2010 Uncategorized 5 Comments

As I blogged before, I am going to be working in the first step of the gedit multiviews SoC, adding tab groups to gedit. This week I’ve been working on this and I think I’m quite close to have something stable to push to master. So what have I really done this week?

  • Yesterday I’ve released gedit, gedit-plugins and gtksourceview
  • I’ve been testing a bit pygi because of libpeas
  • I updated the gedit dependencies in my jhbuild to test how it behaves with gtk+3
  • I’ve been refactoring and fixing some issues in GeditWindow needed for the tab group thingie. These fixes are already pushed into master.
  • I’ve been working in two branches in my github:
    • notebook2: In this one I implemented the tab group directly in the GeditWindow
    • notebook3: As the previous implementation in notebook2 added too much complexity to GeditWindow I factored out the code and created a new class GeditNotebookGroup

Also as usual the mandatory screenshot:

gedit has been ported to gsettings

I want to inform that gedit is finally using gsettings. There are still some missing things that I don’t know how to do yet so if somebody can tell me would be great:

  • Add short and long descriptions (See that we use the revolutionary scheme format ;)
  • Mark a key as translatable
  • Have bindings for gsettings to use them in the python plugins

We really need some testing here so if anybody is able to test it and inform us about errors would be great. Also I’d like to thank to everybody who helped making this port and the ones working in gsettings :)
