Interesting Components to Hack In iFolder

I’ve been looking at gnome-vfs ifolder plugin. If it is good enough and works with the new simias .. We should be thinking of moving it to ifolder/trunk from ifolder/NU-TrunkAnd for all those who would like to hack on interesting accessories of ifolders .. Take a look at

https://forgesvn1.novell.com/viewsvn/ifolder/branches/NU-trunk/

It has

• iFolder-gnome-vfs plugin
• Slog – A Collaborative Blogging App.
• Gaim iFolder.

If anyone would like to hack on these lemme know .. I’ll move them to ifolder/trunk [ NU in NU-trunk stands for not-used ] Some other desired things (my personal wishlist) are

• Konqueror Plugin ( Similar to nautilus-ifolder plugin)
• CommandLine Client.

If you need clarifications regarding these shoot a mail to ifolder-dev Mailing List or drop in #ifolder @ irc.gimp.org.

/me stupid – listen to that little voice !!

( Well … That little voice told me to check with POBox .. But i kept ignoring it. Anyway …)

I was Stuck with this weird Bug. I was not able to reproduce it consistently. But whenever the testing team tries it out, they get it in the first attempt. I knew that it had to be in the POBox code. but someow i never listened to that little voice. So i kept investigating the iFolderListStore HashTables. Got a lot of info abt the behaviour of the client from there.

Totally frusturated abt this bug ( one of the reason for no posts for 16 days). Anyway … this is how i solved the Bug ..

I created the StackTrace object and printed it out. within 60 seconds , the bug was located and killed.

StackTrace st = new StrackTrace();

Console.WriteLine (st.ToString());

/me relieved.

Well now kill some more bugzzz … the hunt is on ..
