CSSU Features Configuration Editor

The CSSU Features Configuration Editor is a UI for the configuration of the additional options provided by the Community SSU.

It has been built using the PyQt libraries and the Python language. [] that allows you to change the options shown in the [URL="http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Features"]wiki[/URL] page.

Installation
The project is now also in [URL="https://garage.maemo.org/projects/cssufeatures/"]garage[/URL]

Dependencies
The editor depends to the following packages:
 * smscon
 * python2.5
 * python2.5-qt4-gui
 * python2.5-qt4-core
 * python2.5-qt4-maemo5

Usage info
The operation of the application is simple: * Choose the options you would like to have (for info on the options look in the wiki link given above) * Press the "Update" button.

Other options:

* The "Current" button sets the current options the system is using in the options (which are shown also in the startup of the application) * The "Default" button sets the values in UI equal to those shipped with the Community SSU.

If for some reason you have messed up and you want to restore the default transitions.ini file:

* Open the menu. * Choose the "Restore Defaults" option. (Note: This will restore to the shipped version of the transitions.ini and will not have any effect on the similar file in /etc/hildon/theme/ that might be used by theming.)

Note some of the options get immediately active as soon as you press the "Update" button. Others need the hildon-desktop to be restarted and for those a menu option is available "Restart hildon-destop".

ISSUES/TODO
[LIST] [*] [strike]this app only edits transitions.ini located under /usr/share/hildon-desktop/. Thus, will fail if you have more transitions.ini files (e.g. using the theme-customizer).[/strike] fixed in version 0.3-1 [*] [strike]Current button is not yet implemented.[/strike] fixed in version 1.0-1 [*] [strike]The application when it opens shows the default options - in a future update will show the system's current options.[/strike] fixed in version 1.0-1 [*] [strike][COLOR="Red"]BLOCKER[/COLOR]: In the "parallax" field the values need to be float, i.e. "2.0" and not "2", otherwise the GUI fails to open.[/strike] fixed in version 1.1-1 [*] [strike]MINOR: if "tactile" package is installed and disable option if it's not.[/strike] fixed in version 1.2-1 [*] MINOR: The application should reside in the Settings under Personalisation. At the moment it is in the applications. [/LIST]
