ttygde / pokoy Goto Github PK

Reported previously in #7 (comment). This happens on my PC too.

Hi,

I find your program very useful. A little glitch though… It always wrongfully thinks I should start with taking a break when my computer returns from sleep (ACPI suspend to RAM, in my case). Could you please implement support for such a scenario?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi.

At first, thank you for the great program. I tried several alternatives, but this one looks optimal.

However there is one feature that i miss: when break has begun, i can't lock screen and walk away.
All i can do is to skip break and then lock screen or leave it unlocked.
None of them is really good. So is it possible to add ability to lock a screen during break (by key press, like 's' or 'p') without skipping it?

Thanks anyway

Hi there,

Would it be possible to detect a running flash video?

Useful to pause pokoy when watching Flash videos such as on Vimeo or YouTube.

What is your opinion?

Robert

Hi there,

I've tried to execute pokoy (git 18/11/2014) on Gentoo Linux but it segfault directly.

Here's the gdb output :

Hey there,

I just thought I'd let you know that Pokoy segfaults when the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable is not set.

Hey, I want to take a break every 2 hours,so 120 mins.
I added the line break 120:00 10:00 10:00
But when I start pokoy with this config and inquire the time till the next break, it gives me the strange output of 7140:119:58... What is that supped to mean?

Hi @ttygde,

Thanks very much for pokoy! It is a very helpful application to not remain focused on the screen for too long. :)

I have one question. I would like to use Droid Sans as my default font. I created the following config file but it is not applying Droid Sans. Do you have any idea how to use an Xft font?

Thanks very much for your help!

Robert

I like your application.

However when installing it on my LinuxMint 13 distribution I had to install the following to be able to run make:

• libx11-xcb-dev
• libxcb-keysyms1-dev
• libcxb-iccm4-dev
• libxcb-screensaver0-dev

Furthermore I had to change the CFLAGS row to:

CFLAGS = -std=gnu1x -02

After this it compiled, installed and runs beautifully,

Please change the Makefile and add this to your doc, in your own words, so that more people than C programmers can install this easily. Maybe a configure file could do it?

As you probably understand I am not a C programmer. I got help.

Thanks!

Is there any support for multiple screens that I haven't realised, or is it maybe a feature that could be considered?

When I have two screens connected and pokoy blanks the screen, I get a black window in the middle of the two:

+--------+--------+
|   +----|----+   |
|   |XXXX|XXXX|   |
|   |XXXX|XXXX|   |
|   +----|----+   |
+--------+--------+

Instead it would be nice to have the app blanking all connected screens separatly, with the same message and progress visible on all.

After I suspended my laptop yesterday and resumed today, I got some weird times from pokoy:

$ pokoy 
34:59
-56176:71581852:50
