Hi;
Can anyone tell what happened to the PANEL_APPLET_OUT_PROCESS_FACTORY macro?
It was removed.
The documentation for 'Panel Applet library, version 3.26.0.' mentions this
macro in the section 'Out-of-Process vs In-Process' and in the example 'Hello
World applet'.
Documentation might have not been updated...
However /usr/include/gnome-panel/libpanel-applet/panel-applet.h
contains PANEL_APPLET_IN_PROCESS_FACTORY,
but not PANEL_APPLET_OUT_PROCESS_FACTORY.
This is on Ubuntu 18.04
This include file is coming from the libpanel-applet-dev package version
1:3.26.0-1.
If PANEL_APPLET_OUT_PROCESS_FACTORY has been removed,
what was the reason for this?
Reason was to not depend on deprecated GtkPlug/GtkSocket.
is there an alternative way of making an applet run 'out of process'?
Depends what you want to do. If it is a small applet I don't see a real need to run it out of process. Otherwise you can have a D-Bus activatable / autostartable application that does all the hard work and a small applet that uses D-Bus to communicate with the application.
If I'm looking in the wrong place, where should this macro be found?
Thanks,
David McKelvie
