Hai!
I haven’t blogged about drapes in a long time. Well there is progress being made, mostly on the two remaining biggies Applet and file system monitoring. The applet stuff is almost done, there are a couple odds and ends and most of them are due to bugs in Gtk#. I’m working around them and hopefully I’ll have a patch to contribute to Gtk#. As far as file system monitoring is concerned inotify is no more; Why? Well mono’s FileSystemWatcher supports inotify now (SVN). So no longer do I have to write (or copy) a shill lib to get inotify working in my app. So as soon you guys updated to the new version of the mono class libraries you will get inotify support for FREE. Also, Drapes works much faster now too, some operations that were doing some retarded things aren’t anymore (or at least do it in a less retarded than they were before).
Also I moved to a new host, and I now I have my own domain (www.mindtouchsoftware.com). If you haven’t noticed that’s because the crack/magic (i can’t decide which one it is) that mod_rewrite is forwarded you. So, welcome to the dub dub dub mind touch software dot com.
As usual, I promise that drapes 0.5 will be out REAL SOON NOW TM. If you want to check out the progress in (near) real-time you can visit the web based bzr repository. Also part of drapes are translated into 4 languages now, thanks to this excellent Rosetta software that availble as part of launchpad. If you’d like to check it out, or contribute translations you can do it here, you can do it via the web no software installation required.
