Fix for terminal problem
 By yonemoto - Posted on June 13, 2003 - 19:25:21   (#7722)

Fix for the terminal problem: You may insert this line into the script:

hey Terminal SET Workspaces of Window 0 TO X

where X is the binary value of all of the workspaces that you are running. For example if you have 4 workspaces, you would want to set it to

15 = 8 + 4 + 2 + 1

Ten workspaces would be

1024 + 512 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1
= 2047.

A faster way to calculate this number: 2^(n) - 1.

Do I need this program if i don't know what a edge is ?

Maybe, a screenshot may be added ?

Congratulations anyway because coding make us live.

pardon my ignorance

Ok... Will definitely fix the folder problems, et cetera. Will mention need for "hey", but this is a problem unique to the "pushterm" and "pullterm" scripts, If you want to run something else, then you don't need scripts. Mini-description in the EdgeDetectorPrefs file is coming.

I'm probably going to write an mini-applet which allows generalized pull/pushes anywhere on the screen, for any app.

Workspace fix is in the works. (Will probably come with the applet)

Some feedback

- When there is no terminal-window open, it should create one when moving the mouse to the upper-center (or the two scripts should detect if there is a terminal-window and if not, do nothing)

- When I go in a different workspace than I created the terminal-window, I go back to the workspace where I created the terminal-window. It should bring the terminal-window to the workspace I'm currently in.

Nevertheless, it's a great app with potential, keep up the good work! :)

Well...it works

But it took a while figuring out. A manual would be most welcome. :)

A quick manual for installing/using this app:
1. put EdgeDetectorPrefs and EdgeWatcher into the corresponding folders
2. create a folder EdgeScripts in /boot/home/config/settings/
3. put pullterm and pushterm in the EdgeScripts folder
4. you should have got hey in the /boot/home/config/bin/ folder, if not you can download it from http://www.bebits.com/app/3332
5. kill the input_server, it should restart automatically
6. open a terminal-window
7. move the mouse-cursor to the upper-center of the screen
8. the terminal-window should move to te top of the screen and unfold downwards.
9. if it didn't: try to move the mouse-cursor across the top of the screen to find the unfold-spot
