I've attached what I've done so far on the User Manual. I've made some alterations to Sections 1-3 and run aspell over the whole file with some corrections. Please let me know if you are happy with this and if so I'll keep going... -- ************** * Simon Wong * ************** |

I was wondering, as screem "seems" to be running without fam. Maybe its causing some random crashes. Should we have some sort of check for fam before starting screem? I'll look into how to run fam on my machine. > other than that great, changes commited to CVS. Awesome!!! My first Gnome/Free Software code contribution. :-D -- ************** * Simon Wong * ************** |

Maybe its > causing some random crashes. it shouldn't cause crashes, more inconsistancies, primarily with the site file list when new files are created, files are deleted etc. For instance: ScreemPage monitors the file it relates to so it knows if the file has been changed on disk ScreemSiteView monitors a project directory so the file view display can be kept up to date, files added outside screem will be added to the project automatically. For instance copy an html file from outside the project in and it will be included in link updating etc.=20 Files created by screem, for instance when saving a page created via File->New->New Blank Document also rely on the monitoring mentioned above to be added to a site correctly. Deleting files from the site view relies on monitoring as well rather than including extra code to remove it itself. Reasoning being that as we need to handle possible deletes from outside screem then using the same code reduces both the size of screem, and possible breakage points. > Should we have some sort of check for fam before starting screem? It probably should yes. > I'll look into how to run fam on my machine. I understand this could be an issue with screem if someone doesn't know how to install fam, or can't. =20 The reason I made the decision to rely on fam was that it would reduce the code needed in screem itself, and fam enhances a desktop environment so much I would presume most people would have it available.

A warning message would be useful if it fails to start/find fam. >=20 > > I'll look into how to run fam on my machine. >=20 > I understand this could be an issue with screem if someone doesn't know > how to install fam, or can't. It's reasonably easy on Debian. I had a few small problems as I had disabled inetd for security. For other systems it may not be trivial to use. =20 >=20 > The reason I made the decision to rely on fam was that it would reduce > the code needed in screem itself, and fam enhances a desktop environment > so much I would presume most people would have it available. I concur (for what it's worth!) as that's exactly what it's for and will save a lot of wasted CPU polling. --=20 ************** * Simon Wong * ************** |
