Working version for Gnome 45 #60

Closed hseliger closed 1 year ago

hseliger commented 1 year ago

Hi! I have managed to fix BaBar (as an essential part of my personal workspace) to work under Gnome 45. Note that this version is not downwards compatible anymore – but I am sure there are ways to fix the version dependency as well, if one (read: no me) puts effort in it. Feel free to pull this into the main branch and push it to Gnome Extensions. Cheers, Hendrik

Hi,

Thanks for that it will be done very soon. I do not have the time right now.

No errors I could see (using journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat). Comments only in git, I committed a few times. But it was more a quick fix for myself (while I had an hour waiting for the plumber…) more than solid work. Seems to work though, so I figured I push it your way in case it's helpful. Hope it is (and not creating useless work for then; then ditch the pull request).

Anyway it's better to have this extension in GS 45 rather than nothing... :-)

I do not remember if I told you about DashBar extension? I maintain this one now.

Ah, I see… I had tried DashBar as well, but it didn't fly with me. I like the integrated work space menu within BaBar and it integrates better with ArcMenu I keep around for scanning through installed apps when I forget again what I have and what it's called. Anyway, thanks for BaBar in the first place and glad if I could be of help!

Oh, one small mistake I just see: since I made the Gnome 45 originally for myself, I changed the id in metadata.json. You should change it back to your name before pushing to Gnome Extensions. Sorry for that!

And I'll go and delete my fork!

Cheers!

Weird thing. It seems to not work with Gnome 45.0 on Ubuntu 23.10. I cloned the repo and ran make install to install the extension, but when I tried to turn it on, I only saw that the Workspace Indicator disappeared.

I did not have the time to test it. It's quite possible I'll make a DashBar (extension) mode that behaves like BaBar (per window, per workspace options). I'll have some time in 1 or 2 weeks.

Are you getting anyerror message (in the extension manager, and if there, then checking e.g. with journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -o cat|less)

There is no error message in the extension manager.

I think the issue is related to the way preference settings are loaded.

I tried to fix the settings menu in a very clumsy way and the babar task bar showed up as expected after switching on some options.

Let's try: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6556/task-up/ that is my new BaBar. ATM there are no options but I will make some soon.

If not yet available, you can DL it from GitHub, the extension is working without bugs (seems so, after a lot of test).
