group dialog suggestions

[raveit65]

First i wanna say that you did a great job again.
I found some small issues.

1. when i had create a new group, the new group isn't visible in switch-groups tab.
   I need to close/reopen the group-dialow window to see the new group in switch-groups tab.

2. see
   
   For what is the return button good?
   Clicking the button gives me a segfault.

[rave@mother ~]$ mate-user-admin 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

3. A suggestions/feature request
   Can we have a dialog window with normal window decoration?
   Or a gsettings key to switch between headerbar and metacity decoration?
   You only need to move the unlock button from headerbar.

4. Why not moving group-service to user-admin to avoid packaging an extra package?

@raveit65
Thank you very much for your testing and advice.
Let me start with the first problem you have encountered.

• When a new group is created, the new group is added to the tail of the switch-group tab without sorting. So you need to drag the scrollbar to the end to see the new group,I made a change, and when the new group is created successfully, I will prompt you how to view the new group.
• The return button doesn't work. I've removed it.
• I think it would be better to separate them. Group-service provides APIs in the form of dynamic libraries, similar to accouts service,I feel that some projects will need group-service alone。I think it would be better to separate them.

I'm sorry I didn't understand you mean.Do you mean to use the dialog window?

[raveit65]

I'm sorry I didn't understand you mean.Do you mean to use the dialog window?

I mean the main group-manage window which use a headerbar.
The headerbar is the place where the unlock button is located.
A normal windows decoration is used by main window of user-admin.

[raveit65]

Your changes are working fine.

[zhuyaliang]

Thank you for your advice，I didn't reply in time for some special reasons.

Or a gsettings key to switch between headerbar and metacity decoration?

This way i think it's better.

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65 I'm sorry that it took so long to reply to you, I made some changes, but I still think the unlock button will be more beautiful in the title bar。If you think it's OK, I'll release new releases.

[raveit65]

Now all windows use headerbars. This wasn't my suggestion. MATE default is to use metacity-theme windows decorations.
Now it looks like a gnome application :/

[raveit65]

Btw. using headerbars for windows is problematic for MATE, because you can move the window under the top panel with the mouse device.

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65 I now use g_settings_get org.mate.desktop.interface.gtk-dialogs-use-header to determine whether header-bar is used or not.And some display effects have been improved，I hope you can test him and give me some advice。

[raveit65]

Amazing, this works very nice and the metacity-theme decoration is back.
You make me very happy :)
I will update German translations the next days.

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65
Thank you for your test. After you update the translation, I will release a new version.

[raveit65]

Do you like to add user-admin to MATE at transifex for translations?
https://www.transifex.com/mate/MATE/dashboard/
I can do that......

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65
I agree with this idea.I've created users in transifex。In addition, I released version 1.4.0

[raveit65]

@zhuyaliang
Just create a . tx folder in your local repo. An example you can found here (This is branch specific)
https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/tree/master/.tx
The file could be look like this (without specify a branch):

[main]
host = https://www.transifex.com
 
[MATE.user-admin]
file_filter = po/<lang>.po
source_file = po/user-admin.pot
source_lang = en
type = PO
minimum_perc = 2

Help docs:
https://docs.transifex.com/getting-started-as-a-localization-manager/1-set-up-your-projects
You need to install the transifex-client first.
If you have set up the.tx folder local than commit this.
Than i can add user-admin to Mate group at transifex.
I will enable auto-update from your resourse file at github https://github.com/zhuyaliang/user-admin/blob/master/po/mate-user-admin.pot
That means, you only need to update and commit your .pot file and transifex will update the resource 2 times a day.
For getting the translations from transifex server after a while do tx pull -af .
OK, if you need help ask me and let me know if your config file is ready.

[raveit65]

Thanks for releasing 1.4.0. I need to do first a review request for group-admin for adding it to fedora.

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65 I'm very sorry, it took me so long to get back to you because of some other work. I have the .tx/config ready.

[raveit65]

@zhuyaliang
It's better to change the slug, see my comment at 3371fc7#commitcomment-33259793
Than i can add user-admin quickly to transifex.

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65 This is a very late reply. I modified slug as you suggested.

[raveit65]

@zhuyaliang
It's done. https://www.transifex.com/mate/MATE/mate-user-admin/
The resource will be updated automatic every time you commit a change for
https://github.com/zhuyaliang/user-admin/blob/master/po/mate-user-admin.pot
After a while you can pull translations with
tx pull -af

[raveit65]

Don't forget to update https://github.com/zhuyaliang/user-admin/blob/master/po/LINGUAS
when new languages are added by transifex, after tx pull -af ;)

[kyrios123]

@raveit65 It looks like the .po file at least for french wasn't imported in transifex because most strings are currently not translated while almost all of them were translated already. Is that normal ?

[raveit65]

Opps, i fogot to upload .po file, only the .pot file was uploaded.
It is fixed now. French language is at 91,47% :)

[kyrios123]

Thanks :)

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65 I updated the user-managed version。1.5.0 and 1.5.1

[raveit65]

@zhuyaliang
Thanks for new updates.
But is this really needed to force this groups for new users?

#Default Add Groups for New Users
nugroups =mail;audio;video;lightdm

I think i will comment this out for fedora.

Btw. Should i add group-service to transifex?

[zhuyaliang]

@raveit65 I see what you mean. The default group of new users should be empty, and the data （groups name）should be filled by the users themselves. But I have released the version. How about solving this problem in the next version?
Thank you very much for your help. I will inform you as soon as I prepare the .tx file of group-service.

[raveit65]

How about solving this problem in the next version?

Np for me , i can edit the file during RPM building of current release, grep is my friend :)
Thanks for doing all that work for this very useful application for MATE desktop.
Fedora users asked me to allow mate-user-admin for xfce ;)
