GNOME 45 Compatibility #33

Closed Exponential-Workload closed 11 months ago

Exponential-Workload commented 12 months ago

Recently, GNOME 45 released, which broke this. Having this work on GNOME 45 would be great

I really like this extension, so I have started porting the code for GNOME 45. I got it to the point where it works (at least for me), except for the preferences, which I haven't fixed yet. You can download the source and run the install script to use it: https://github.com/laurentlbm/gnome-rocketbar/

I was hoping to port the code quickly, but found it more difficult than I anticipated. In part because GNOME 45 made a pretty significant breaking change to extensions (see Extensions in GNOME 45), but also because my knowledge of GNOME and extensions is pretty limited...

@Exponential-Workload @laurentlbm Hey! Unfortunately, I don't have enough time now to work on this, but I still have plans to release a new version by the end of this year. Code for the new version is in experimental branch and it should be semi-compatible with Gnome 45, but I haven't tested it yet, still on Gnome 43, hehe. I'll get back to development of the extension as soon as I can, promise you.

@ChepKun That's fine, I just want a working version in the meantime. I don't mind patching it if it isn't too difficult. If I can finish the work, would you accept a PR and publish a new version of the extension for GNOME 45?

FYI, the experimental branch will also need to be ported to 45. They changed how imports function, so extensions for GNOME 44 and below aren't compatible with those for GNOME 45, and vice-versa.

BTW, thanks for the extension, it's very useful. I used Pop Shell for a long time, but it tried to do too much and I often encountered bugs.
