Awn + Zeitgeist = enhance your workflow

People say that image is worth thousand words, so take a look at this video instead of me saying all those words:



Under the hood there's Awn's window to desktop file matching backed by wncksync (if available). And of course Zeitgeist with a couple of extensions which I'm currently working on.

Before anyone asks, this isn't yet pushed anywhere is now available in a separate awn-extras branch (https://code.launchpad.net/~mhr3/awn-extras/zeitgeist-applet), and will be merged to awn-extras trunk once there's an official release of libzeitgeist and everyone (read awn-testing PPA users) will be able to play with it.

    That's not fair, first you show, then you keep it to yourself. :P Anyway, we're going to be waiting for it, as if I would have always wanted a tool like this, this should come in very hand I for me, at least that's my opinion after seeing the video.

    @Arturas: FWIW it's now in a public branch on LP.
    @Goodfellow: It's hard to describe it, you just have to see it on your desktop ;)

    Great to see integration with Firefox and awn! But since you proposed Zeitgeist and GAJ to be included in GNOME: what about integration with GNOME projects like Epiphany (and gnome-shell)?

    @hendi: We do have a epiphany extension, but it seems it doesn't work currently, so I can imagine I'll be fixing it later during the summer.

    I tried to install it from branch, but it stops on error "No package 'zeitgeist-1.0' found". I have zeitgeist in version 0.3.3. Is it possible to install it somehow?

    @Gnaag: You need libzeitgeist (available on LP).

    This is fantastic!

    But how do you compile? I tried ./autogen.sh and it says no awn' package detected (yet I have awn).

    @trotil42: Missing valac?
    @Edward: Missing libawn-dev?

    How about:

    make[4]: Entering directory `/home/andrei/awn-extras-applets-trunk/applets/maintained/related'
    VALAC related.vala.stamp
    error: zeitgeist-1.0 not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories

    libzeitgeist1.0-dev is installed...

    AFAIK there is no official libzeitgeist package yet, you need to install it from source.

    @mhr3 Thanks :)
    Yes, valac was the problem.
    but now zeitgeist iz not shown in applet menu.
    I'm doing something wrong, again :(

    I've made and installed libzeitgeist1.0-0 and libzeitgeist1.0-dev packages, but still when I'm trying to make awn-extras-applets packages I've got this error message:

    @Hadret: The libzg packages you made are outdated.

  17. Hadret29 May 2010 at 15:56

    But they are from bazaar: https://code.launchpad.net/libzeitgeist :o

    Is there any other place I can get the source from? Or is it still closed testing solution? :)

    Ok, to be precise the packaging rules are outdated...
