This version fixes some bugs with translations. The app is faster because now it uses a cache for icons. System categories disappear and they are substituted for normal categories when they exist Wastebasket is, now, independent from categories. All deleted items goes to wastebasket until the user decides delete them forever.

Added a new splash and a new icon.

Updated spanish tranlation and partially translated to Czech

Vazaar is an item manager applet for GNOME.

Index: 1. Purpose 2. Features 3. Licensing 4. Compiling & installing 5. Running Vazaar 6. Observations

1. Purpose I've started this project to learn GTK/GNOME programming (and also because I want this program for this platform!), so for the moment I am the only developer. There is no roadmap for this application. I am developing it in my spare time (not too much) and trying to be serious.

If you want help me (with suggestions, patches, translations, ideas, advices or my english) please mail me at tomas.virseda@hispalinux.es

Also, you can find more information in http://www.kaskaras.net/vazaar

2. Features: - Vazaar follows tags philosophy (one item can belongs to many categories or tags) - Data about categories and items are stored in XML format under '$HOME/.vazaar' directory. Item's contents are stored in a centralized repository under '$HOME/.vazaar/store' with a unique id (MD5 sum of its name). You can not store two items with the same name - Foreach item, Vazaar detects its MIME Type and tries to handle it only if it is: - An image (need improvements) - A webpage (minibrowser integrated -need improvements-) - Text (generic text, scripts, source, …) - If Vazaar detects an item as script it uses syntax highlighting. - Drag and drop support - You can launch thoses applications which are associated to your items for editing them or simply for opening them in your preferred application. - You can show/hide categories and item's menu navigation for a better experience using this application - At the momment Vazaar is translated to english, spanish, czech and polish

3. Licensing Vazaar is Free Software and it is released under the terms of GPL (see COPYING file for more details).

4. Compiling & installing This program requires gnome-core to be installed. To build it, additional libraries may be needed.

Dependencies: libpanelapplet-2.0 (applet) glib-2.0 libgnome-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 gtk+-2.0 pango libglade-2.0 libxml-2.0 gconf-2.0 mozilla-gtkmozembed (embed mozilla) gtksourceview-1.0 (syntax highlighting) gnet-2.0 (MD5 operations)

Compile: ./configure –prefix=/usr && make It isn't a good idea to compile programs with prefix=/usr but I think is mandatory in order to this applet works fine.

If you wish to debug this application you can use '–with-debug' and '–with-debugging-output' options in the configure script. When you install the applet you must do the next thing: in a terminal execute '/usr/libexec/vazaar' first and after add the applet from the panel. In this way, you will see the debugging output.

Installing: 'sudo make install' (if you are a normal user) or 'make install' as root.

5. Running Vazaar You can run this application adding the applet from the GNOME panel under 'Accesories' category. If you are unable to find it, log out from your current session and log in again.

6. Observations Previous version used hierchical categories and they were stored in the same way. Now, Vazaar use a simple list of categories and read/save the XML data in a different way.

If you installed a previus version of this program (< 0.2.8) please, rename your .vazaar directory in order to do a clean installation. If you are worried because of you have a lot of data in Vazaar mail me and I'll try to make a special 'import' function to solve this specific topic.

I thought in this but I preffered leave it and concentrate my efforts in convert Vazaar from a simple application into a GNOME applet. Anyway, I think Vazaar is still in a early stage of development and many things can change although (I think) is already useful.

Thanks for using Vazaar and contribute to it.
