Update

Its been a while, since I’ve written on here, so I guess its time for an update.  First off, I finally got a co-op job for this winter, at COM DEV International as a software developer.  I’ll be working on control systems for some parts of the James Webb Space Telescope (replacement for the Hubble Telescope), which is the best job I could hope for (although the ones for Xandros looked pretty cool as well).  I even need security clearance for it!  Anyways, I’ll be moving to Ottawa in a while for the co-op, and although its not Europe its still somewhere more interesting than here.

On an unrelated note, I’ve very slowly been working on ECDB.  I think that I have the erasing part working the way I’m happy with, although I haven’t tested it yet (don’t have an eraseable disc).  I need to ask pygi about how to simulate this.  Anyways, heres a screenshot (there is actually no EWL being used in this picture – all edje and embryo):

ECDB Update

I had some requests on IRC for a recent screenshot of ECDB, so here’s a screencast instead:

More ECDB work

So I’ve been doing some more work on ECDB.  It is now pretty much at the same point that it was before when I was using entirely EWL widgets.  At the moment, only the filelist widget is from EWL, all the rest is Edje.  An added bonus of using mostly edje are cool things like a typebuf for the filelist.  At the moment it now allows for changing directories and setting the filelist filters, and it’ll get more commands as I feel the need.

ECDB Fun

So I’ve got back to working on ECDB a bit again, and I’ve scrapped my previous EWL-only interface for a nice as-much-edje-as-possible interface.  At the moment I’m thinking that all of the filelist and tree-related widgets will be EWL, and the rest edje.  As a comparison between old (unfinished) and new (even more unfinished), here you go:

EWL Only:

Old interface

New, with edje:

Anyways, I like the look of the new version better.  Now just to find that odd EWL infinite loop.
