I created Remuco adapter for Okular (KDE 4 document viewer). Adapter is still on
early stage of development (I don't know Python, so it wasn't easy to write it
;)).
Adapter can connect with Okular by dbus.
Functions:
- next = next page
- previous = previous page
- volume up = +10 pages
- volume down = -10 pages
- volume mute = first page
- show image = show current page
- fullscreen = presentation mode
Bugs:
- dbus object in name have PID. PID must be set in adapter file, so we must run
Okular and after that edit adapter file
- creating of thumbnails cause slightly slowdown
I'll try to fix these bugs tomorrow.. ;)
@obensonne: If you like it you can import it (maybe next versions ;)) to
repository.
(And I think I should change something in licensing part, am I right?)

Wow - very fast response to my idea - thx for that.
Just skimmed over your file - looks quite good to me.
Ad. Bug1: I Have found a C++/QT example which shows different methodes to list
dbus
destinations, maybe it helps you:

Ad 2:
> creating of thumbnails cause slightly slowdown
Wow - great Idea - to see the current slide also on the phone... This is even
more i
imagined.
Looking forward to get this into the trunc.

First bug solved.. ;) I'm searching list of dbus names, finding name with
'okular' in
it and then connect to it..

Changelog:
- adapter can connect to first running instance of Okular
- list of pages as Playlist with "Go to page" function
- thumbnails are generated in poll function, not when we change page. Because
of that
sometimes we must wait few seconds to view thumb, but switching to another page
is faster
ToDo:
- opening files
- TOC as library function with "Go to page"
- open recent file
- vertical or hirizontal thumbs (changing by toggle repeat or shuffle)

Thanks Pawel for working on this - I really appreciate it and I'm happy to
integrate
your contributions.
However, things are easier for me (and actually for you too) if you could
provide
your changes via a fork on BitBucket
(http://bitbucket.org/obensonne/remuco/overview/). This has several advantages:
- You are listed as a committer/contributor in the change log.
- I can easily pull and check your changes into the Remuco mainline.
- If I want to change or adjust minor things in your adapter, you can
easily pull them too.
The last 2 points mainly avoid file ping-pongs in this issue.
If you are new to Mercurial version control and BitBucket, please let me know
it. In
that case I'll just set up a wiki page with some instructions how to accomplish
the
intended workflow.

Some minor general remarks:
In Python you can use ' and " interchangeably, i.e. you do not need to escape a
" in
a string when you use ' as string quotations (relates to the line where you
call the
convert command).
The file you pass to 'convert' .. is that an image file? If yes, you can just
pass
that file name to the update_item() method without running 'convert' first ..
it gets
thumbnailed automatically then.

I've never used Mercurial and BitBucket so if you can write me some HoTo..
In most cases convert will be used to create image from one specific page of pdf
(presentation) file. I must check what happened if we open in Okular other type
of
file...

The HowTo page is not yet complete, but should be enough to get started:

First contributions imported to repository...
Functions:
- all from comment 2 and 5
- go to specified page (search for page number)
Adapter can generate thumbs for graphic files (all formates supported by Okular
and
iconv) and pdf files. Now I must find a way to generate thumbs from ODF files..
;)
@obensonne: I have one question: what funcion is responsible for "File browser"
in
Amarok adapter?
Original comment by pawel.pbm

The file browser on the client gets active when you pass a list of ItemActions
to the
keyword file_actions of PlayerAdapter.__init__()
(http://code.google.com/p/remuco/source/browse/base/module/remuco/adapter.py#423
).
Using the keyword mime_types you can restrict the types of file to which file
actions
can be applied.
Finally you need to overwrite the method action_files()
(http://code.google.com/p/remuco/source/browse/base/module/remuco/adapter.py#791
) to
handle item actions issued on clients.

I've merged your current changes into the mainline and additionally did some
refactoring to the code to make it more consistent to other source files in
Remuco
and to make it more "pythonic".
When you continue to work on the Okular adapter, you should pull in from the
mainline
first .. otherwise merging gets a bit tricky.

Now the code looks much better.. ;) I'll try to write better looking code, but
my
Python skills are limited.. ;)
P.S. I don't see any comments there...

I tried to read something about controlling of OpenOffice Impress.. Only thing I
found was pyUNO - python module to communicate with OO.o, but documentation for
this
is poor and outdated (or maybe my Pyhon skills are poor ;). Maybe I'll read it
again
in on Sunday...
Doc for pyUNO: http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html
pyUNO in archlinux: /usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/ (it must be added to
sys.path to import module uno)

Changing this to an explicit Okular feature request. Other presenter apps
should get
an own issue.
