Re: [Deskbar] how to return multiple matches from query

Excellent, thanks a lot.

I've attached a patch relative to the
/usr/lib/deskbar/handlers/programs.py file in the 2.18.0 version  of
deskbar-applet.

This alters the behavior of the path search to glob for partial
matches in the path instead of just matching the full query.

The is_program_glob_in_path should probably be in the deskbar.Utils.py
file but I wanted to keep it contained to get some opinions.

You'll have to delete the corresponidng .pyc and .pyo files for this
to work.  Let me know what you think and thanks again for the help.

Good. I think this might do good integrated in deskbar. Many users has requested similar features and this should meet some of the request (atleast to some extent).

My biggest gripe is about speed. How fast is this globbing deal? I mean we should probably start globbing when we have three or more chars. But what if I enter "gno" then all the gnome tools will match and that's quite a bunch. It might be plenty fast though, I haven't played around with edge cases.

Opinions?

Cheers,
Mikkel
