This allows you to start applications via winswitch directly from your usual desktop's start menu (Unices only - not Windows). See here: http://localhost:10000/documentation/usage.html#start The next versions will continue with bug fixes and cleanups, manual pages, documentation and code cleanup. If you have suggestions or features you would like to see added, please do let us know. Cheers Antoine PS: a fair number of outdated distributions have been dropped. Here's a full copy of the RELEASE_NOTES: *********************************************************************** This is a minor release with few changes notable changes: * Add ability to integrate transparently into the main start menu * Servers will auto-start correctly again when connecting over SSH Other very minor fixes: * On *nix create the directory ".config/autostart" if it does not exist * Record build information for all platforms * Warn just once if the screen capture command is undefined * Error when mdns is not running was causing a logging error.. * GNU screen: dont try to capture as screen as graphics! *********************************************************************** -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1tsyMACgkQGK2zHPGK1rsrsACdHc7HZr8bBo+iIyp4nX2R5iWr aJUAn3A+NxnNV89z2L4pBGtHaXwv1xBr =ss2r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From dcmdcm at gmail.com Thu Mar 24 20:57:39 2011 From: dcmdcm at gmail.com (dave madsen) Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:57:39 -0500 Subject: [winswitch] Icon not appearing Message-ID: Just installed winswitch on ubuntu 10.10. Installed patch to fix 100% cpu problem, since if that wasn't fixed, I couldn't use it anyway. Did "dumb user" thing and clicked on "Window Switch" in Applications menu. It came up, said it found only one server (the local one). There's no Windows Switch icon anywhere I can see to get any menus!

You did everything right, you should have been seeing a tray icon as per the first set of screenshots here: http://winswitch.org/documentation/start.html I've got a 10.10 netbook here and it does show up. Have you got a notification area in your desktop bar? What desktop environment are you using? (gnome I guess?) It is possible that something is missing in the package, preventing it from creating the tray icon, you can get more details by running: winswitch_applet --debug-mode Feel free to send me this log output if the problem is not obvious. If I find the time, I will also try to do a clean 10.10 virtual machine install to test the packages. You can also try installing the latest code from source (if something is missing in the package, this can be a workaround): apt-get remove winswitch svn co http://winswitch.org/svn/shifter/trunk/ cd trunk && ./release/local-install.sh Cheers Antoine > > ---dcm From antoine at nagafix.co.uk Thu Mar 31 21:18:38 2011 From: antoine at nagafix.co.uk (Antoine Martin) Date: Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:18:38 +0700 Subject: [winswitch] [ANNOUNCE] version 0.11.4 - bugfixes + features Message-ID: <4D94E19E.9070708@nagafix.co.uk> Hi, Version 0.11.4 is now available: http://winswitch.org/downloads/ Despite this version being a bug-fix release, there are a number of significant improvements and some new features in there too. For details, see the release notes attached below. The next version will be a major release (0.12) so you may have to wait for it a little longer than usual. If you have suggestions or features you would like to see added, now is the time! Cheers Antoine RELEASE_NOTES: *********************************************************************** Improvements: * File transfers to remote servers without using SFTP * Ability to whitelist server commands: it defaults to allow all, but can be used to restrict the commands available to a small set very easily. * Stale connections are properly dropped, allowing re-connect to work * Python 2.7.1 with gstreamer bindings on MS Windows (thanks to ossbuild) * Warn when files cannot be opened remotely * Thunar file manager integration * Moved most non user-visible commands to "/usr/libexec" on Unix * Added "--help" and manual page to most commands * Prevent code from logging ssh key passphrase in debug mode! (oops - sorry) Minor enhancements and fixes: * Fixed Xpra JPEG support on win32 * Tray icon animation when something is in progress * The command wrapper now has a smaller alias of 'wcw' to fit in .desktop files * Simplified MS Windows build scripts * Include severity in default log format * Early connection to server may fail with new Xpra sessions, so retry them * Use "xdg-mime" rather than "xdg-open" to open files (when possible), this is to ensure that the session is closed when the command terminates * Removed unnecessary dependencies from scripts to reduce early logging * Sample init scripts * sid and Fedora 16 (rawhide) builds included ***********************************************************************
