Rescue Time Ubuntu 10.04 extensions/*/app_name commands not getting run.

[j0rd]

From what I can, in Ubuntu 10.04 the extension/*/app_name are never getting run based on current window. I'm not sure why.

But this is causing every app to simply use title for it, which changes very frequently, leaving me with like 50 hours "undefined" a week and about 4 defined.

I don't think thats the answer, only the Skype "app_name" extension appears to do that kind of processing. The application name should be properly retrieved through a query to the X11 server through the command line xprop program.

I think I found a small bug with the parsing of this application names that which ignores all app names with non-alphanumeric characters, and uses title names instead. See the attached patch (already included in the chrome patch set), it might fix the issue.

Try this: sudo find /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/RescueTimeUploader*/RescueTimeUploader/extensions -type f -exec chmod +x '{}' ';'

It will make them runnable, and that worked for me.

I guess we should make sure as part of the installation procedure that all app extensions are executable. I also been wondering what to do on platforms that restrict filesystem locations where executables can be.

The recently proposed branch for merging implementing wine plugins had some code to take care of the executable bit.
