[Discussion] All about Windows Port

[smarquespt]

i´m using release 1.3 on windows and notice a faulty behaviour

How to reproduce:

1 - Preferences -> Workspace -> Minimize on window close
2 - Close -> Right click on tray icon to show popup menu

Observed behaviour:

Menu is shown but if we don´t select any option and click anywhere outside popup, the popup remains visible.

Expected behaviour:

The popup menu should hide himself if we don´t select any option

Hi,
Certainly is a bug in Gtk. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669297
As Gtk developers has plans to deprecate GtkStatusIcon, I think will never was fixed. 😓

p.s: I changed the title so all the problems discussed here. ;)

[smarquespt]

So it seems that we won´t have a fix. At least from them. What about a pragha workaround? Is it possible?

[matiasdelellis]

What about a pragha workaround?

Maybe. Should be investigated.
Due this kind of thing, not want to declare officially supported the Windows port. haha..

..and there are many more problems in windows. Ie: Due https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617257 never update the tooltip in the status icon.

There are many problems that specifically depends on Gtk, and they're not worried about anything other than Gnome. (Yes, Not even in linux in general. Only care about gnome!.) 😓

However I understand that they pay them for it, haha.. 😅

[smarquespt]

That´s why I prefer Qt-based apps. What do you think about changing to Qt over Gtk?

[matiasdelellis]

Ohh.. I read this link several times.
I always preferred KDE, but with my old machine was made impossible since Kde4. So starting to use Xfce and now with a new machine can assure you that the only reason why I keep using Xfce is Pragha.

The link is very interesting, but a "utopia". It's much more complicated than it seems.. If you want install LxQT, and you'll notice than any application was very advanced. Honestly, I tried it and was disappointed. (Although it is a beta. ;) )

For now, I'll wait how progress Gtk 3.14, and I hope they fix a lot of shit they did in Gtk3.12. Time will tell. 😉

D'Oh!. 😞

Please, test uninstall pragha and then remove all contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\pragha
And then install pragha again with emty system..And then install pragha again..

Just try for first time installing on a computer with Windows 8.1 and it worked properly...

[smarquespt]

Done as you said. Same error. I´m using Windows 7 64 bits.

It works now but I needed to install extra codecs. Without them it´s not working.

Another issue I noticed is that that in pt language I only have gst-* locales installed. What I see from other languages it´s missing:

glib20.mo
gstreamer-1.0.mo
gtk30.mo
pragha.mo

[smarquespt]

Grabed pragha.mo from transifex and

Unlocalized strings:

Full volume (toolbar)
About Pragha (In about window)
Credits (In about window)
Close (In about window)
Use small toolbar icons (preferences)

[matiasdelellis]

Sorry for the delay and thanks to update. 😏

Ohh.. Ok.. No tested without codecs.. :S
but now I see that the installer only append libz.so when you install the codecs..

About translations, maybe not added yours translations. Add just a few, until can find how to automate the process.

Next week, I try to do better. =)

Thanks for all,
Regards.
