[Sugar-devel] relating bug #610 and design

[Vamsi Krishna Davuluri]

Hello,

So I was wondering, after right clicking on a journal item, the palette
again shows the file name. Why is that? as on most of the standard operating
systems, when ever we right click on an item, we are given options such as
open, open with, print, copy etc. Never the file name.

Couldn't the alternate be to highlight the clicked item instead.


Also a fix to bug #610 would be

    def __init__(self, label=None, accel_path=None,
menu_after_content=False,
                 text_maxlen=0, **kwargs):

        screen = gtk.gdk.Screen()
    self.wwidth = screen.get_width()

        #window = gtk.Window()
        #self.wwidth, self.wheight = window.get_size()

        self.max_pixels = int((1.0/4)*(self.wwidth))

--------------------------------
        if text_maxlen >= 0:
            self._label.set_max_width_chars(text_maxlen)
            self._label.set_ellipsize(pango.ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE)

        labels_box.pack_start(self._label, expand=True)

        self._secondary_label = gtk.Label()
        self._secondary_label.set_alignment(0, 0.5)

        if text_maxlen >= 0:
            self._secondary_label.set_max_width_chars(text_maxlen)
            self._secondary_label.set_ellipsize(pango.ELLIPSIZE_END)





-------------------------------------------------

 def do_size_request(self, requisition):
        gtk.Window.do_size_request(self, requisition)

        # gtk.AccelLabel request doesn't include the accelerator.
        #label_width = self._label_alignment.size_request()[0] + \
                      #self._label.get_accel_width() + \
                      #2 * self.get_border_width()
        label_width= self.max_pixels

        requisition.width = max(requisition.width,
                                style.GRID_CELL_SIZE * 2,
                                label_width,
                                self._full_request[0])





What this does is, It draws the screen proportional to the max_pixels
specified(the ratio can be fine tuned by the design team), and ellipsizes
which ever exceeds that limit.



Thank you.
