Draft: Add Caja Meld compare example #70
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
While I don't really know how to use Meld, this example when tested as mentioned in the docs (drop it into /usr/share/caja-python/extensions) does work. It adds a "meld compare" context menu item which successfully invokes meld.
Note that you need to select at least two directories from the window or else select nothing (bringing up Melt ready to have directories entered from its own UI) to use this effectively

This works, but why not put it in the caja-extensions repo? |
| def get_file_items(self, window, files): | ||
| top_menuitem = Caja.MenuItem(name='MeldMenuProvider::Meld', | ||
| label='Meld compare', | ||
| tip='', |
| def get_background_items(self, window, file): | ||
| bg_menuitem_meld = Caja.MenuItem(name='MeldMenuProvider::MeldBg', | ||
| label='Meld', | ||
| tip='', |
|
I agree that this is worth being a package distros will package and ship. if we put it in caja-extensions, then that package depended on python-caja. Maybe a new "caja-extensions-python" package for them? |

In the meantime I am fine with adding this to examples |

@lukefromdc and @vkareh, Thanks for your feedback.
Correct, I'll add a commented introduction with installation instructions.
caja-extensions is C-code and this PR is Python code. I'll incorporate your feedback tomorrow. I would like to add a submenu to select a first and second file as it is currently limited to compare selected files in one directory. |
