Activate side pane file browser doesn't work

[seanh]

F4 doesn't do anything. Scribes 0.4-dev-build1032 on Ubuntu 10.04.

Does Unity use F4 for another function? Do you get any errors in a shell terminal?

Hi,

F4 doesn't work for me also. I recieved the following traceback in a shell:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/Trigger.py", line 40, in __activate
    idle_add(self.__get_manager().activate)
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/Trigger.py", line 35, in __get_manager
    self.__manager = Manager(self.__editor)
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/Manager.py", line 8, in __init__
    self.__gui = editor.get_gui_object(globals(), join("GUI", "GUI.ui"))
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/SCRIBES/Editor.py", line 600, in get_gui_object
    return get_gui_object(globals_, basepath)

glib.GError: /usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/GUI/GUI.ui: required gtk+ version 2.24, current version is 2.22

There is ver. 2.22 in Ubuntu 10.10 which I use.

@dmych

On debian squeeze which has gtk+ 2.20

I edit files
../scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/GUI/GUI.ui
../scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/GUI/GUI.glade

Edit line <requires lib="gtk+" version="2.24"/> to <requires lib="gtk+" version="2.20"/>

and do make & install

this worked for me
