Today it’s a great day for Igalia, for tinymail and for the free software in the whole. Today an Igalian made a commit to the tinymail repository, this commit wouldn’t be so important if it weren’t done by a girl. Her name is Antia Puentes and after drawing several awesome class diagrams (see here and here) with all the main interfaces of tinymail, she sent today her first patch to the source code....

These last two days I have been playing a lot with mailbox moving/copying. There were some unimplemented features in tinymail that I needed so I had to do them. Basically the list of changes I made are Improved the folder changes notification when the mailboxes are transferred Fixed a bug in the tree model that stores mailboxes when deleting a mailbox Fixed an issue in the connection process Added some error handling to the folder loading process And the one that Phillip likes more :-), added a functional test to check mail folder transfers A lot of work, I sweat, but very useful I believe....

After the previous post, I improved a little bit the drag and drop example. This time, I added another three view at the right. Now you can drag a row in the right tree view to a node of the left tree view. Another improvements is the support of multiple actions, I mean, the drag & drop can now move a row (as in the first version) or copy it (just press the Control key before dropping a row)....

I’ve recently been adding drag and drop support to a widget that is basically a GtkTreeView with an associated GtkTreeModelSort. The gtk+ drag and drop API is weird, there are just few samples and is not very well documented. Furthermore, the GtkTreeView has its own drag and drop functions so my mind was a mess.Then after some study I finally got an idea about all this stuff and decided to code a sample where to test the things I learned....

A few days ago Philip wrote the following in the tinymail mailing list in response to a patch that I sent to the list: Yep, let’s go for this. Commit please :) Don’t forget our poor little ChangeLog file I thought, OK Philip it could be poor, but little? Then I decided to take a deeper look to our lovely ChangeLog file and I extracted some figures. First of all the number of entries is 153, really impressive if you realize that the first commit was made on 2006-01-17, just one year ago....

Again, a lot of time since my last post. If you’re interested, yes I’m still happy and I’m still contributing to tinymail. My contributions decreased a little bit these last weeks because I had other priorities but I’ll try to keep them going. This afternoon I was trying to use the nice GtkUIManager stuff inside a Hildon application but when trying to add a new menu described in the UI XML definition file to the HildonWindow I realized that I had a problem....

Hi, it’s a long time since my last post and the most important thing I want to say is that I’m happy :-). Yes it’s a very strong word but I’m currently carrying on a project that makes me really happy. This project, you’ll hear about this in the near future, uses the tinymail development framework maintained by a really kind and enthusiastic guy, Philip Van Hoof. The title says not so tiny because the framework is getting bigger and better....

Yes, it’s true. First time in my life. Look at this output: test -z "/var/opt/gnome/share/pixmaps" || mkdir -p -- "/var/opt/gnome/share/pixmaps" /home/local/bin/install-check -m 644 'pixmaps/ekiga.png' '/var/opt/gnome/share/pixmaps/ekiga.png' test -z "/var/opt/gnome/etc/gconf/schemas" || mkdir -p -- "/var/opt/gnome/etc/gconf/schemas" /home/local/bin/install-check -m 644 'ekiga.schemas' '/var/opt/gnome/etc/gconf/schemas/ekiga.schemas' test -z "" || mkdir -p -- "" make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/devel/local/gnome/src/ekiga' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/devel/local/gnome/src/ekiga' *** Unpacking poppler *** [43/57] I think I’d be something like a hero inside Igalia :-).

I sent today an internal email to the Igalia staff about happiness at work. You know that our main goal, as company, is to achieve our happiness. Regarding to that, I wrote a not so long essay about my experience with an useful option that comes with GNOME since a few releases ago. I’m talking about the Typing Break option located at the last tab of Keyboard preferences dialog. If enabled, it basically locks your screen during a specified amount of time every X minutes....

GNOME 2.16 is out, so we must begin thinking about the new release. I’ve just generated the graph of dependencies of the 2.18 modules using jhbuild svillar@wopr:~$ jhbuild dot | dot -Tps > dependencies.ps See the result here in ps.bz2 format. Can you find your favorite module? As you can see in the zoom bellow it’s an easy task to follow the track :-) Update: I’ve just built the whole 2....
