Hi Pako,

Thanks for having updated your plugin.
After trying to replace your plugin with an Harmony One with a tactil Screen, I come back to your plugin since this remote didn't gave me entire satisfaction.

I have download the last version, and all my configurations were not recognized by the plugin. But it doesn't matter, i'm going to reorganise all of them.

For the moment, I have just a question : Do you think that it is possible to add a confirmation dialog ?
I ask you this question because i'm using the OSM to do critical actions like restarting computer or starting an another application.

Those actions in a middle of a movie can be very dangerous !!

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Hi Bob.

Maby not what you are looking for but there is a way to do what you want now.

Use the event to launch a second menu with only "Confirm" and "Cancel". Then have Cancel go back to the first menu and Confirm triger the event that restarts the computer.

If you have a lot of menues it can look weary bad but it atleast works in a way.

Best regards, Jostein.

Your solution is quite interesting. But perhaps, I can manage a single maco to confirm the action.

It needs to save the event in a variable, and then call the action to confirm. If confirmed the event stored is trigger, else it is deleted.

Can somebody tell me if this is possible. I'm going to try out this at home this evening.

I think Jostein's solution is the right way. I just made a very simple improvement. Download the new version and you can proceed as follows:
You just create only a macro, which will be assigned all the events that you need to confirm.

In the editing box "Default event prefix:" you shall put the term "{eg.event.string}".

Once the menu, then choose "Confirm", created a new event, accompanied by the suffix "Confirmed".

I made some improvements to plugin OSM.

What's new:
1) Events are now able to carry the payload
2) Added action "Show menu, created from python expression"
It was relatively difficult to solve so that it was easy enough for users
and enough variable. I wrote a (hopefully) a sufficiently detailed description and several examples.

I have two requests for you:
1) Please try the modified plugin
2) Please check all English text
Any comments please write here.

I still have plans to do some examples of the new possibilities of creating menus from python expression. But it will take time.

Here is one example of the use of new capabilities OSM.
You can easily (using the OSM) select the album, which will be played in MediaMonkey.
I think that the pictures need no comment.

Python Script contains the following code:

Code: Select all

tmp = [item.split("\t") for item in eg.result]
tmp = [(item[2]+" - "+item[1],item[0]) for item in tmp]
tmp = [(item[0].upper(), item) for item in tmp]
tmp.sort()
eg.result = [item[1] for item in tmp]

OS Menu example whole script:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1436">
    <Folder Name="OS Menu example" Expanded="True">
        <Macro Name="OS Menu: Show menu, created from expression" Expanded="True">
            <Action>
                FileOperations.Read(1, u'D:\\Data\\M\\MediaMonkey\\AlbumJukebox.txt', 0, 1, 'utf8', 1, False, 0)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                EventGhost.PythonScript(u'tmp = [item.split("\\t") for item in eg.result]\ntmp = [(item[2]+" - "+item[1],item[0]) for item in tmp]\ntmp = [(item[0].upper(), item) for item in tmp]\ntmp.sort()\neg.result = [item[1] for item in tmp]\n')
            </Action>
            <Action>
                OSM.CreateMenuFromList(u'eg.result', (255, 255, 94), (64, 0, 64), u'0;-16;0;0;0;700;255;0;0;238;3;2;1;66;Monotype Corsiva', u'OSM.Album', 0, 1)
            </Action>
        </Macro>
        <Macro Name="Album jukebox" Expanded="True">
            <Event Name="OSM.Album" />
            <Action>
                MediaMonkey.Jukebox(2, 2, 2, True, u'D:\\Data\\M\\MediaMonkey\\AlbumJukebox.txt', True)
            </Action>
        </Macro>
    </Folder>
</EventGhost>

Diabl0, you first need to configure the action and then you can use.

Hi Pako,

I see that your are really active on your plugin.
So i ask you if is possible to improve the "graphical" configuration.
I mean modifying the selected color or the position of the menu.

I'm using it with mediaportal, and i would like to improve the integration with this software.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

1) Colors of the selected item - it is not yet possible to do.
Menu is based on the class wx.ListBox and there is not possible to set these attributes.
I would have to be used instead of wx.ListBox class more complex (and therefore much more difficult applicable)
wx.Grid class. However, I'll think about it.

2) Position of the menu setting - this is not a big problem technically, but it's a problem in terms of design and logic
of configuration dialog. When the user will have option to set the location of the menu, will also probably appropriate
to give him an opportunity to set the maximum size. I am by this time was convinced that the location of the middle
of the screen is satisfactory, because the menu is always displayed only a short time.
If multiple users will claim that it is important for them to implement this option, I'll do it.

Ok Pako, thanks for your explanations. The most important for me was the selected color. But as you said it is not so easy as it seems to be.

Bob

I have never used the class wx.Grid and tempted me to try it.
Therefore, I decided to do a new version of the plugin and it is in the world.
It is true that it gave me more work than I expected.

So what's new:
1) Added ability to choose colors of selected item.
2) Added ability to completely control the menu using the keypad (accepts Up, Down, PgUp, PgDown, Esc and Enter keys).

It is possible that I have tested poorly and you will find bug. If so, please report it here.
Of course I also welcome your positive response

.

Great,

But you were not forced to do it

.
I'm gonna try it this Week End.

Now i can simulate a mediaportal menu and i'm going to use flashing color for confirm menus.

Thanks again.

Bob
