mintUpdate 1.2 is out!

[merlwiz79]

I think this started when in Xubuntu I forced Firefox not to update to firefox mint.
In KDE CE I used forced version of libhal1 and libhal-storage1 so I can install the -dev of them.
I haven't done anything like that in Cassandra(Main) and mintUpdate 1.3 works fine.

ive been hacking around the interface today, to try and make it look neater, heres what ive come up with



heres the updated glade file and mintUpdate.py

http://rapidshare.com/files/62499787/mintupdate.tar.bz2.html

the python changes are pretty minimal it can be summed up as

Code: Select all

def force_refresh(widget, treeview, statusIcon, wTree):
   #start of edits
   # this is just to ensure the Select/unselect button works after the refresh which autoselects all
   global toggle
   toggle = 1
   wTree.get_widget("selection_label").set_text(_("Unselect All"))
   #end of edits
   refresh = RefreshThread(treeview, statusIcon, wTree)
   refresh.start()
   
   

#Start of Edits

#Ive Redefined clear to encompass select_all and the old clear with an if statement
def clear(widget, treeView):
   global toggle
   if (toggle == 1):
      #def clear(widget, treeView):
      model = treeView.get_model()
      iter = model.get_iter_first()
      while (iter != None):
         model.set_value(iter, 0, "false")
         iter = model.iter_next(iter)
      wTree.get_widget("selection_label").set_text(_("Select All"))
      toggle = 0
   else:
      #def select_all(widget, treeView):
      model = treeView.get_model()
      iter = model.get_iter_first()
      while (iter != None):
         model.set_value(iter, 0, "true")
         iter = model.iter_next(iter)
      wTree.get_widget("selection_label").set_text(_("Unselect All"))
      toggle = 1
#End of edits

the code is only there because i thought having a clear and select all button looked cluttered. tell me what you think clem

Hi Hairy Palms,

I like what you've done with the GUI but I like the one we already have a little bit better. The Clear button is one of my favorites, the first button I click on actually... cause I usually clear, then select things I want, one by one.

ah ok np the unselect all button still has the same function as the clear button tho,
one thing i thought i might report, when you select the changelog tab, the program hangs for a 3-4 seconds, i wonder if there might be a way to resolve this by threading out the aptitude command.

the link to upgrade doesn't work!
is there another way to do this?
