Re: [orca-list] Scripting applications with dotted names

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Nolan:

Cool!  Glad to see you jumping in.  :-)

You can workaround this by using the settings.py:setScriptMapping 
method, which we put in place to handle situations similar to this.  You 
can put a call to this in your ~/.orca/user-settings.py or 
~/.orca/orca-customizations.py file and we can ultimately add it to 
settings.py once you submit your gajim.py script.

The first parameter is a regular expression to match the name you're 
getting from the application and the second parameter is the name of the 
script module with the .py extension removed.  Search for calls to 
setScriptMapping in settings.py and you will find examples.

Hope this helps!

Will
