Remmina Plugins doesn't work

[khurshid-alam]

I was trying to use your remmina plugin, but it doesn't any show any host. It can only execute remmina app itself.

How does it suppose to work?

Thank you for fill this issue. 👍

You can have these problems:

• You can't install plugin properly
  • please confirm if it is displayed and enabled in Kupfer Preferences->Plugins
• Plugin can't find your saved hosts
  • verify if directory defined at plugin's preference contains your data (*.remmina)
• Hosts aren't at Top Level index
  • In preferences->catalog check Remmina Hosts
  • Other option: in kupfer search for Remmina use "Search Content" instead of "Launch"
• Plugin can't interpret your remmina specific version
  • Save any simple hosts (with fake data) and send me to test here
• Code problem
  • When you activate plugin at preference they show you some error
• Code problem 2
  • Some problems only appears when kupfer try to index plugin sources, in this case run kupfer from console (maybe with --debug) to know what errors you have

Maybe this is good to include in a FAQ 😄

Plugin can't find your saved hosts verify if directory defined at plugin's preference contains your data (*.remmina)

It's that. Remmina configuration is saved under /home/$USER/.remmina. May be you want to make that default.

According to remmina source code:

• Legacy ~/.remmina, or
• ~/.local/share/remmina, or
• /usr/local/share/remmina

Since they define ~/.remmina as 'legacy', I wont make it default. Maybe search for both. What you think?

Maybe search for both. What you think?

Yes. Search for both location would be nice. :)

offtopic: I think this should go on upstream. Can you open a PR at https://github.com/KarolBedkowski/kupfer-adds (which is the new upstream) ?

Only adding remmina.py in kupfer/plugin (https://github.com/KarolBedkowski/kupfer-adds/tree/master/kupfer/plugin) should be enough. Thanks.

To be honest I would be happy if they accept my plugin at theirs main code.

But I don't think this is the correct answer, we need a marketplace for plugin.

Anyway I tried make install process frictionless with pip:

pip install kupfer_plugin_remmina

You don't need sudo since they only copy file to ~/.local/share/kupfer/plugin

Hoping that other developers could do the same, I created a cookiecutter to help them.

Maybe a plugin where user can search and install plugins from kupfer would be good idea :smile:

Almost there, now I need know how to donwload, unpack and 'install' plugins to have a proper marketplace.
