Hi, now it is most likely I'm really wide of the mark,. But as QA tester, they now are building a suite of automated tests[1]. These can deal with where the 'mouse is', press the button etc. Maybe have a chat with devs working on that? Regards, Phill. 1. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutoPi

I understand now. I am trying to learn the Python language so I can help more with it... As most know I am a .NET Developer for the Microsoft platform... I will still do the best I can to help, I just won't be the most experienced of the group. Thomas Corwin > On Jul 16, 2013, at 6:39 PM, "Nei

Glade is pretty much the standard for rapid development in GTK and it's pretty resilient against changes within major versions, since it wraps GTK, which tries to maintain a stable API. The issue here is probably that GTK 3.x is largely incompatible with 2.x, hence the need for an update. The onl

Hi Thomas, I think what Jörn is saying is that whenever they make changes to GTK, then Glade breaks. So it would be easier/better? to find a different wrapper. Have a great day.:) Patrick. On Tue, 2013-07-16 at 02:47 -0400, Thomas Corwin wrote: > Sorry to bring up an old problem, but Glade is 1

I'm sorry, I can't find your thread about it. If I'm correct, the problem is related to Glade (which is, more or less, a wrapper around GTK). That would be a real mess, even if this issue is fixed, it's likely to grow incompatible again with the next major version of GTK3. Am 15.06.2013 01:21,

Hi Jörn, I'll put it in the wishlist (but as you said, it's a low priority thing right now). If you're able to go through the archives, sometime in March I tried getting Quickshot to work on 12.04 and documented a few of the issues that I had. Also Thomas looked into it, and found that it's tied t

I saw this issue as wishlist item on the bug tracker. Phill said me, Quickshot is more or less broken, so this has a very low priority. Please collect bugs and wishes on the tracker, so I won't forget it :-) I'll test the app later this day and look what's to be done. Jörn Am 14.06.2013 um 13

One thing that I'd like to see happen (if possible) is that instead of it creating a user called Quickshot, it creates the "John Doe" or whatever generic username is appropriate for the person's language. That will help for those people who already upgraded, and are using their main system for taki

Hello, I'm Jörn and Lubuntu-QA member for a few weeks. Phill asked me if I could help with a python tool which doesn't works the way it should. He wasn't sure if the Quickshot-project on Launchpad was the right one, or if there are forks and stuff. Can you tell me the direction? Hope I can he
