Hello list,
Just to keep you informed about some of the changes I made to Utility
Belt recently:
.) The google, amazon and pastie executables now all use the Equipper
to load their respective gadgets.
.) Refactored the google-, amazon-, and pastie-gadgets, so that they
are in their own modules now (Couldn't test amazon though, since I
don't have an account there)
.) Clipboard.available? tells you wether a clipboard implementation is
available on the platform (so you needn't check the platform
yourself). I already have some code for linux, but haven't been able
to test it yet, so it's not in the repo yet.
.) Removed MacClipboard entirely (except in the documentation), and
updated all gadgets/specs to use the new Clipboard implementation
.) Google and Pastie are now (theoretically) able to launch the
browsers with the generated urls on windows (see below for
theoretically)
.) Running all specs at one ("spec spec") now only produces two warnings
.) The Clipboard class and the pastie, google and
amazon_upload_shortcut now are only available at the top level if they
are loaded inside IRB
.) Everything wirble-related (init, colorizing, themes) is now in one
file
There's apparently a problem with the current version of
Win32::Clipboard, since it doesn't load properly, thus the Clipboard
class doesn't currently. I've tested the Clipboard code a week ago on
windows, and it worked then, so I'm quite sure it's not my fault :)
(especially since I can't load it directly from the irb prompt as
well). This means that any code that uses the clipboard currently
doesn't work right now.
On another note: Anyone know how to launch the default browser (with a
specific url) under linux?
regards, Markus
