[FreeNX-kNX] "Nxspooler 1.0: helping some people to print with FreeNX"

[Ricardo Díaz Martín]

Wow, I have developed the same software two weeks ago in java OIR! (I'm from
Spain too and for this reason select the name).

OIR is always looking for new files in a folder and when it found new file,
this is file is opened with the default app in client machine. The only
different is when server side you can send a file, on before to copy this
file, you must copy a empty text file whit the same name and extension plus
new extention ".Enviando" to OIR can note a new file is being sent. When
file has been sended you must write new empty text file with extention
".ArchivoEnviado" and then OIR open the file in client side (of course temps
text empties files will be erases by OIR).

I use this app because my linux server side programs print by generating
OpenOffice files that are moving to share folder in client side.

Ok, but it is other story...

Congratulations for your software.

Ricardo Díaz

>
>  More precisely: NxSpooler 1.0 monitors if files with certain extensions
> (for
> example PDF) appear in a set shared resource. NxSpooler opens every new
> file
> that finds so that the user can look into the file and print it or save it;
> when
> the user closes the viewer application that shows the file, NxSpooler will
> delete the file if possible. NxSpooler is normally used together with a
> FreeNX
> session where a remote program (or sometimes the user) creates files and
> saves
> them in the shared resource for a later automatic opening by NxSpooler in
> the
> computer of the user (for example, to print the file)
>
>  For an advanced use: NxSpooler adds some very basic and easy client/server
> capabilities: if an application in the server creates a file with the
> extension
> "nxspooler-open" in the shared resource, NxSpooler will try to open this
> file,
> look inside and if there's a path written there, open this path in the
> client.
> The path can be a file, a folder, the address of a shared resource, etc.
> This
> is useful, for example, for an application in the server to: open the
> default
> file browser in the client to manage the contents of another concrete
> shared
> resource, so that the user can immediatly open those server files, save his
> files in the server, etc.

>  NxSpooler works in Linux and Windows, and probably in other operating
> systems. It is easily translatable, for this you can use as a template the
> "nxspooler_es.ts" file or (if you want to see the environment of the string
> being translated) use Qt Linguist, see: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/linguist-
> translators.html and http://qt.nokia.com/doc/linguist-manual.html

>  NxSpooler is free software and it can be downloaded from the project page
