Since I’ve released drapes 0.5.0 there were a few issues that poppep up that I actually thought were solved… So I’m working on fixing the issues with permanent fixes. In the process the code base code quality has improved quite a lot (since I’m not interested in hacks anymore).
One important change pending is that I will disable automatic directory monitoring for Mono versions before 1.2 (runtime) because the FileSystemMonitor class chokes on large directory trees and that’s where half my bug reports, issues come from… Once people move to Mono 1.2 everything will be peachy. I’m also considering moving away from this custom trayicon code to the one in Gtk 2.10, but I think a lot of people still use Gtk# based on 2.8 (ugh). Also, I fixed a few packaging issues. Although I didn’t feel like fixing them new versions of autotools/docbook kind of forced me to do so.
Once all this work is done I’ll summit it to the SUSE build service so the wonderful Suse using people can also enjoy drapes, and because Jorge keeps bugging me about it. *hint* The only thing missing them would be a fedora RPM. *hint*
Also a real Mono debugger with a gui would be awesome about now, printf debugging is getting kind of old… Here’s to hoping.
P.S: I wrote this post listening to Eazy-E, Real Muthaphukkin G’s… Got to start your day right.

ok… nice work on drapes. But, with 0.5.0, I enabled the directory setting on the bottom of the second tab. Now when I start drapes, it chokes. Is there a config file somewhere that can be modified to reverse my decision?
Found it… it wasn’t obvious at first, but I ran gconf-editor and changed the monitored directory from / to my home directory.
