Yesterday I did some work on adding plugin support to SparkleShare. This feature allows you to write your own plugins in the form of a simple XML file. It’s possible to preset an address or a complete address + repository, as well as which backend to use (only Git and experimental Mercurial at this point):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sparkleshare>
<plugin>
<info>
<name>Red Hat UX Team Hub</name>
<description>Internal server for the UX team</description>
<icon>redhat.png</icon>
<backend>Git</backend>
</info>
<address>
<value>ssh://git@design.bos.lab.redhat.com/</value>
<example></example>
</address>
<path>
<value></value>
<example>/project</example>
</path>
</plugin>
</sparkleshare>
Save the XML file (ending with .xml, and along with the 24×24px icon) in ~/.config/sparkleshare/plugins and it will appear the next time you start SparkleShare. Granted, it’s not a very friendly way to add plugins, but I’ll work on that.
By the way: does anyone know how to make the secondary description line in the TreeView row 50% transparent and white when the row is selected? I guess I have to take the selection background colour and the selected text colour and then blend them, but I’ve no idea how…
