Hi Chrys,

I just installed the plugin and it is working great.

Thank you so much for working on this.

Howdy Rynhardt,

i just completed the ObjectNavigation plugin and you can give an first test.

you can get the plugin file (i wont attach a file to an mailing list mail) and check the complete story on my blog:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/61476156

with another additional stuff.

you can just install it by using the plugin manager by pressing "orca + e" running the plugin tree.

also its not final yet, cause by settings and translation interfaces are currently still missing. but i was busy with other things.

but this is definitive next on my todo list.

looking for feedback

cheers chrys

Hi Chrys,

Excellent, thank you. I look forward to the plugin implementation.

Something else I wish to investigate down the line is to restrict flat review based on the object selected via object nav. This would possibly result in a more effective flat review functionality when the screen is too cluttered, for instance an application or page with sidebars.

But step by step as you say.

Regards,

Rynhardt

Howdy Rynhardt,

nice to hear from you :). All good, we all have a real life :).

I hope you are doing well?

Yea all good now. I found the class

I converted your code to an plugin. Let me do some last cleanups and testing. then you can take a look if you want.

your functionality looks very neat to me.

two very important pieces are missing in the plugin system driven orca version. this is a translation API for the plugins and gsettings based settings.

but step by step ;).

Hi Chrys and Peter,

My apologies for only responding now, I was away for the festive period and could not attend to this.

I have fixed the repository at the merge request, sorry about that. The relevant class should now be included.

I'm currently spending all my time on finishing my thesis, but I will look into a plugin conversion as soon as I have some free time again. However, either of you are of course more than welcome to work on this if you wish.

Regards,

Rynhardt

Howdy Peter,

Maybe you can send me the working version of the patch? Or maybe you wanna try to conert it into an plugin by yourself?

By the way, i keep the plugin branch up to date with master to have all the latest fixen in (to not have disadvantages while testing)

Cheers chrys
