Extract the area selection code out of gnome-screenshot

Long ago, I asked about a tool for selecting a screen area and get the geometry of it, and I did get very helpful feedback from Hashbox, and in the end produced a tool called xrectsel.
But the flaw with xrectsel is that if while dragging the rectangle, some other application redraws its window, your selection is very messed up. This seems to be a common flaw in tools like scrot, import, etc.
OTOH, gnome-screenshot actually draws a window which prevents such a problem. Its selection is also pleasing to the eye. So I'm requesting help to extract the screen area selection part from gnome-screenshot.
All the relevant code is in this file:
https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-screensh … election.c
Anyone who has some experience with writing in GTK / C should find what I'm asking fairly easy, I suppose?

  • How to extract the smtp response code

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the server response by SMTPTransport.getLastServerResponse(),
    and getting the response as "250 2.0.0 OK 1201842889 c39sm4983397anc.25", in case of success.
    This response would differ in case of failure.
    Could please guide me as how to extract the response code from the result.
    Thanks!!

    It's time to read the SMTP spec.
    Also, read the javadocs for the com.sun.mail.smtp
    package to see how to get an Exception even for
    success that includes the detailed response codes.
    The smtpsend.java demo program will show you how
    to interpret the exception.

  • What if you are on contract & move out of the area or even out of the country for a time?

    I'm just wondering. My win mob 6.5 phone is not working very well. It freezes, the alarms have 5 alarms when only 1 was set & sometimes they seem to not even go off. Previously they would go off even when turned off--didn't seem to make a difference.  Sometimes it is really slow to open an email, etc. & this one was a replacement for the Touch Pro 2 which wasn't working right.
    So at any rate, I need to get a new one before long & want another smart phone--a reliable one this time. I would like to get the iPhone 4S I think.
    I'm eligible for an upgrade, although when I used the upgrade fundtion & looked at the iPhone 4S, it just showed the 2 yr price--it didn't show my New Every 2 discount.
    In addition, I'm not sure what  my long term plans are.  I'm not planning on moving anywhere real soon, but it is possible that I might be moving out of the area before 2 years are up or maybe not. Or I might even go overseas for awhile.
    So what happens if you are on a 2 year contract & move out of the area either permanently or out of the country for months or more? btw, before these smart phone fiascos, I kept my last previous basic LG flip phone for about 5 years because it just worked.

    So what if its a different Verizon region? You just move & keep your contract if there is service?
    & if you suspend without bllling, is there a time limit on that?
    Of course they should give you credit for months when you could get a new phone but keep the old one. Before this period just ending (which because they messed up & called a replacement an upgrade & put me on a new 2 yr contract when all along I said no, when I got that taken off & then corrected the upgrade date (originally it was supposed to be 12/2011 & they had changed it to 12/2012) rather than reset it back to the original they reset it to when I got the replacement phone or actually a few months later so I think the contract end date was in July. But now I wlll be up to when my original upgrade date should have been. Well actually I guess they allow you to upgrade maybe 22 mo or so into a contract or they used to.
    My previous phone before this 2 yr period I kept the phone for 5 years. The phone before that which was also a flip phone, the hinge broke at least a couple of mo before I was eligible for upgrade so I had it taped together.
    I didn't look at other phones & I don't know what their 2 yr contract price would be.

  • Need help getting an area code out of my program.

    I wrote a program that displays a phone number with a bunch of things, like mutators, constructors and what not. Then I created a test class to test the methods. It prints the phone number, but it won't extract the area code from the number. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?

  • I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited.  Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

    I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment.  Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly?  (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote) 

    Thanks very much, varjak paw.  I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over.  They all show the same location:
    Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
    What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step?  or somewhere else I should look?
    And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs.  I am embarrassed that I didn't know.  I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac?  (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
    Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
    Thank you again for your help.

    Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive.  I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space.  Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use. 
    As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb.  Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
    So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
    -select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    -eliminate dups but maintain organization
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    -live happily ever after
    Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

    If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
    So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit Aperture
    2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Referenced -  relocate your Masters first.
    These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an  iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    You can't. Every photo is in a Project.  They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
    You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app  you've purchased.
    The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

  • Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there.  For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color.  For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
    What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted.  Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something.  You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

  • In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
    I think I figured out how to fix it-
    I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
    Problem solved.
