Re: Starting to write Seed extensions

[Jonthan Wadelius <wadelius gmail com>]

Hi,

I've been trying to figure this out today. In "reopen-closed-tabs" there is a call to Epiphany.EphyShell.get_default(), and I concluded that it is the same as "ephy_shell_get_default()" in "ephy-shell.c". However no other functions that I have tried work. Is there any way to open the file that  is imported when I write "Epiphany =  imports.gi.Epiphany"? Where is it located? That way I could know what works and what does not.

Thanks for the help!
Jonathan
