Hexchat: GDBus support

Created on 12 Nov 2012  ·  13Comments  ·  Source: hexchat/hexchat

Would be useful for many things:

  • --existing support for Win32
  • --command support for Win32
  • working one instance option on all platforms
  • [x] dbus-client.c
  • [ ] dbus-plugin.c
enhancement

It works fine in Linux your distro just needs to edit the desktop file, I've done that upstream by default for next release. hexchat --existing ircs://chat.freenode.net for example.

I just noticed that, on Debian with GNOME Shell 3.16.3, hexchat starts a new instance when I click in a Gnome notification (aka #1262 ).

when will this be fixed?

When someone cares enough about it to send a pull request.

So basically you need this for HexChat too:
gdbus_xchat

Am I right? If yes, I can do this, but for bounty >= 50 USD, the 5 USD is not enough.

@antivirtel No, the only reason people care about this issue is for single instance mode on Windows.

@TingPing and Linux

in linux if u click an irc:// link it opens a new instance of hexchat instead of opening the link in the current instance

Oh OK, thanks

Updating HexChat's settings accordingly would be great too.

Why hasn't this been finshed yet

@DGMurdockIII Rewriting dbus-plugin.c is non-trivial and hell I've never even tested that gdbus works properly on Windows and remember others saying it doesn't; So if you are the individual that cares to do this work, patches welcomed.
