Changes to GTG’s plugin manager

Today I just had to code. For days I’ve been studying for my last exams (I hope!). Kevin Mehall made me the suggestion to add a preferences button on the dialog manager in order to allow a user to set the preferences/configure a plugin. The idea is based on the Gedit system. I think I never gave credit to Gedit but I actually based allot of things on their plugin system.

It looks like this:

You can read about it and how to make your plugin configurable in the plugin howto along with all the other info.

Geolocalized tasks in Getting Things Gnome!

For the past two/three days I’ve been fighting with video in linux to make a screencast. I found out that recordmydesktop didn’t work in any of my computers (it was always so slow!). I finally got it to work in a old laptop, a compaq evo n1020v and was able to record the plugin working.
After that I had another challenge, to edit the four small videos into the final video and finally to be able to use the html5 video tag I had to add the ogg mime types to apache’s config.
Well.. the result was this video (still a little sluggish, the next one will be better):

For those that don’t have a html5 compatible browser, here is the youtube link or the direct link to the ogg video.

There are still some glitches in the plugin but in a general way it works ok. More features are coming soon!

WordPress and multilanguage plugin

I’m still looking for a multilanguage or multiligual plugin for WordPress that fits my needs.

I’m looking for a plugin that lets me mark the posts as being of a certain language but also lets me translate posts or pages.
Finally the plugin needs to let a user filter the posts by language or see all.

qTranslate has almost all these features. It just misses the “show from all languages” as a filter. I will check again later for that but I’m almost sure that the feature is not there. Maybe with some minor hack…

Anyway, if any one knows a plugin that does what I’m looking for, please let me know!
