documentation anywhere?? about contractor

[curioussavage]

sorry - I found the docs here https://valadoc.org/granite/Granite.Services.ContractorProxy

A link to that from the entry in the interface guidelines and in the readme of this repo would be awesome.

On second look it seems that link is to a wrapper for the service.

Closing since OP submitted a PR to fix this issue

[matzipan]

The PR was closed as invalid since he commented that the link is not correct

That valadoc shouldn't really count as proper documentation I think?
It for example doesn't mention:

• the folder to put the files in,
• the syntax of the files,
• The Exec arguments like %f, %U
• How to debug (maybe get terminal output of execution?)

The following stack exchange answers might contain a start:

• Rename file(s) in Thunar: https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/a/10962/3892

• Get media info: https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/a/3788/3892
• Make executable: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/193689
• Make executable alternative: elementary/files#206 (comment)
• Multiple examples: http://revanthrevoori.com/blog/2015/12/elementary-contracts

I am going to close this for now as at least some documentation and examples are provided in the README.md file now. There is no clear end point for this issue. Any suggestions for particular further documentation can be raised as separate issues
