Congratulations on the switch to libinfinity! I know this has been a long time coming, and is a huge step for libinfinity as well as Gobby. Hopefully ill have a similar post myself, soon.

Not everyone uses IRC, or has a top-level window dedicated to it (I IRC inside my main screen). Having a chat in the same window means I can be sure if I type something there it'll be seen, whereas someone might forget to check the IRC channel since it's hidden in a different window.

Setting up an IRC channel just for gobby is as easy as "/join #something". Sorry, I don't get the point in that regard. Preventing files from being deleted is in scope for the final 0.5.0. But I plan to implement this as a somewhat proper privileges system, not only being tied to deleting files.

Integrated chat was a very useful feature - it localises the chat to the context of the document(s) and keeps the chat to those who are part of the session. Normal IRC chats involve a wider range of people - sometimes that is unwanted. Setting up an IRC channel just for gobby is unnecessary hassle. Also, removing files is something that I'd like to be able to disable completely in preferences before starting a new session. Anyone can create a file in gobby but file deletion just does not fit with how I want to use gobby - in a worksession with various other developers working on a variety of loosely related documents. Without these two changes, I'd have to abandon use of gobby - a sad loss of a previously very useful tool.

I certainly won't change anything if you don't have good arguments to do so. I don't see why using IRC or IM to chat is a pain, since I do it every day.

Yes, I think so, although I didn't yet have a deeper look into the telepathy API. My current plan is to first restore functionality that we had in 0.4, but then let's see what comes next. If somebody wants to try this, though, feel free to write to the obby-users mailing list (http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/wiki/ObbyMailingLists) or drop by in #0x539 on irc.blitzed.org.

Could telepathy be used to implement communication in the app without much hassle?

No, integrated chat is useful Having to switch to another app for IRC or IM is a pain.

Tony Cook: New gtkmm Windows installers

nospam@example.com (Tony Cook) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:47:54 +0200

Just like to say a big thank you. These Windows installers where sooo timely to say the least! A search a few weeks ago drew a blank and we were considering a switch to Qt for a new application development effort (ease of install in Windows, documentation good etc etc). Then I had one more look on the web in the last week of September and bingo! I spent yesterday hacking around with your "howto rebuild the Gtkmm installer" instructions and grabbing the sources (but not actually to rebuild the installer). I now have a nice debug environment for Gtkmm in Visual Studio 2005. I have a small bug to track down ...

My email address is armin@arbur.net, but if you have problems with the installer, you are encouraged to use the gtkmm mailing list. I'm not quite sure what your problem is, but http://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/MSWindows has instructions on redistributing the necessary files for applications using gtkmm (you don't have to rebuild the DLLs for this). However, feel free to contact me if things are still unclear.

Hi, Dear Armin, I'm really sorry to post this message in here but I've desperately searched your email and I didn't found it. I've a question about the DLL and the lib files that you use in your installers. I want to do my on package installer, but I can't create the DLL files and distribute them like you do in your installers. Can I enter in contact with you by email or other way to avoid this mismatch post. Tanks in advance. And sory again

Thanks for this info... I don't develop for gnome (yet) but I sure love hearing about how you're working on it, what you find, and the tools you use. I certainly appreciate your blog!

That's an old caveat: http://www.gnome.org/~federico/news-2006-01.html#24 You'll find here an overview of performance analysis tools, including sysprof which should do what you want. http://live.gnome.org/Sysprof http://live.gnome.org/GnomePerformance
