Include(GnomeDo/Header)

You can find some plugins here: http://do.davebsd.com/plugins. Place these plugins in ~/.local/share/gnome-do/plugins and restart Do. The source for these plugins can be found in our do-plugins branch.

• The Evolution plugin requires libevolution3.0-cil to read your Evolution address book.
• The Rhythmox plugin uses rhythmbox-client to communicate with Rhythmbox. You probably already have this if you have Rhythmbox installed.

Rhythmbox...Fun with Music!

Note: This requires the Rhythmbox plugin which indexes the database of Rhythmbox, the default music player for the Gnome desktop. This is pre-installed on Ubuntu.

Launch GNOME Do and type the name of an artist in your music collection. Once the artist you want is shown press the right arrow key to view a list of albums beneath that artist. You can select albums by using the up and down keys.

http://blog.davebsd.com/files/2007/rhythmbox_music_browse/2.jpg

This list is also searchable (so for example if I had searched for Radiohead and had a list of albums, typing Ok Computer at this point would select Ok Computer). To view tracks in the selected album press the right arrow key again.

http://blog.davebsd.com/files/2007/rhythmbox_music_browse/3.jpg

At any point pressing enter will play the selection in rhythmbox. So, if I type Radiohead and press enter all Radiohead songs are enqueued, if I go across to Ok Computer and press enter...(you can see where this is going). Clever, isn't it?

Now, what about queuing songs up? The procedure is basically the same but we need to change the action from 'Play' to 'Queue'. Once you have selected the music you want (Ok Computer yet again) press tab to change focus to the Action box and press the down arrow to change the Action.

We can perform other music related actions too by typing them! For example...type Pause to...erm...pause! Others include:

• Play

• Volume up

• Volume down

• Show current track

• Mute

• and finally Unmute

XSearch Plugin

Makes Desktop-Search with any Desktop Search Engine. I've developed this with focus on searching with Beagle. Nevertheless I use the Xesam Standard, but it has too less fields. So using it with Beagle would show best functionallity. You need beagle-xesam-adaptor( http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/beagle-xesam/ ), but before compilling/installing it, replace BeagleXesam/src/Ontologies.cs with the Ontologies.cs you found in [https://code.launchpad.net/~c-franke/gc/XesamSearch this branch]( XesamSearch/BeagleXesamAdaptor/ ). Then get the XesamSearch.dll File from [http://blog.wurzt.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/xesamsearch.dll geeks' blog] and copy it in the Gnome-Do Plugin Directory.
