A Xournal++ plugin and set of resources to support the use of FlyPie

Xournal++ Fly-Pie Plugin

A plugin and set of basic resources to help with interfacing Fly-Pie and Xournal++

Installation

Currently, installation is a very manual process. I plan on automating this in the future, but for the sake of this initial release I am going to leave it like this.

Clone the git directory as follows

$ git clone https://github.com/baf57/Xournalpp_FlyPie.git
$ cd Xournalpp_FlyPie

Next, move the plugin files into the Xournal++ plugins directory. Note that this will likely require root permissions due to where the directory is currently located.

# mkdir /usr/share/xournalpp/plugins/FlyPie
# cp src/{plugin.ini,main.lua} /usr/share/xournalpp/plugins/FlyPie/

After this, open the Fly-Pie settings and import the ./src/menu.json file. This can differ depending on your GNOME version:

• < GNOME 40: use gnome-tweaks and go to extensions -> Fly-Pie -> Settings
• GNOME 40+: use the prepackaged gnome-shell-extension-prefs and go to Fly-Pie -> Settings

Note that the following instructions WILL OVERRIDE YOUR CURRENT MENUS! If you want to preserve your current menus, then first select the "Export all menus to JSON file" options and merge that generated JSON file with the src/menu.json file before preceeding.

Once in the Fly-Pie settings, go to the Menu Editor tab and select the "Restore menus from a JSON file" option. Select the either the src/menu.json file, or your merged JSON file if you merged it prior to this.

The menu will pop-up, however none of the custom icons will be set properly. To do this, click the menu item and select the three vertical dots on the Icon bar. Navigate to ./resources folder and select the appropriate icon. This will need to be done for every menu item missing an icon.

To get this working with a stylus button, you will likely have to do the following:

Install Input Remapper and bind Shift + Ctrl + Super + plusminus to one of the buttons.
