Status for rhinote/0.7.4-7
| Patch | Description | Author | Forwarded | Bugs | Origin | Last update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Port-to-Python-3.patch | Port to Python 3 Python 2 is going to be EOL soon, so we need to use the current version of the language going forward; thankfully, getting the application to run on Python 3 only requires tweaking a couple of imports. |

| Simplify-imports.patch | Simplify imports Importing a whole module using a wildcard is frowned upon, and it confuses static analysis tools such as pyflakes. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2012-01-30 | ||
| Fix-flake8-warnings.patch | Fix flake8 warnings The only remaining issues reported by the tool are rhinote.py:59:80: E501 line too long (81 > 79 characters) rhinote.py:69:80: E501 line too long (83 > 79 characters) but I think addressing them would actually make the code less readable, so I decided not to. |

| Make-sure-external-commands-are-available.patch | Make sure external commands are available External commands are not guaranteed to be available on the system, so test for their existence before running them. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2012-02-01 | ||
| Call-external-commands-via-Popen.patch | Call external commands via Popen Use the subprocess.Popen() method instead on relying on the less secure os.system() method when calling external commands. This also allows us to stop using an insecure temporary file and notify the user if printing failed. |

| Support-lp-along-with-lpr-for-printing.patch | Support lp along with lpr for printing The original printing implementation only supports the lpr command; this patch add support for printing with lp as well. If available, lp is preferred. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2012-02-01 | ||
| Set-print-job-name.patch | Set print job name When printing from standard input, the job name defaults to "stdin". This patch adds some parameters to the lp/lpr call to provide the user with a more descriptive name. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2012-02-01 | ||
| Set-class-name.patch | Set class name The default class name for Tk application is "Tk". This patch sets it to "Rhinote", so the correct application name is displayed in such places as the GNOME Shell top bar. |

| Fix-window-title.patch | Fix window title After loading or saving a file, the window title is updated to show its path; in one situation, however, a spurious closing parenthesis would show up as well. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2019-12-08 | ||
| Fix-description-for-undo-keybinding.patch | Fix description for undo keybinding Be consistent with the rest of the help dialog. |

| Factor-out-duplicated-code.patch | Factor out duplicated code | Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-27 | ||
| Set-parent-for-dialogs.patch | Set parent for dialogs This ensures that the window manager will position them appropriately, both in term of x/y coordinates and in term of placement within the window stack. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-27 | ||
| Improve-file-selection-behavior.patch | Improve file selection behavior If the file selection operation is cancelled, either by clicking the corresponding button or pressing the escape key, the file selection dialogs are documented to return a value that evaluates to False, not necessarily the empty string. Additionally, a cancelled file selection operation should not overwrite the filename currently associated with a note. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-27 | ||
| Strip-trailing-newline-when-loading-files.patch | Strip trailing newline when loading files If this is not done, the text area will end up with an additional newline that was not in the original file, which means that repeatedly loading and saving the same note will cause it to grow larger and larger over time. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Prevent-default-callbacks-from-running.patch | Prevent default callbacks from running Some of the key combinations that are used for Rhinote actions have a default callback assigned to them: a notable example of this is Ctrl+o, which by default adds an empty line to the bottom of the text area. Returning the string "break" from our callbacks ensures that the default ones do not get invoked, avoiding this kind of unintentional interaction. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Add-centralized-helper-for-resetting-status.patch | Add centralized helper for resetting status This is called both after loading a note from file and when saving one to file. It simply sets the window title for now, but will perform additional tasks later. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-27 | ||
| Track-modified-status.patch | Track modified status Keep track of whether the note has been modified since being loaded from file or saved to file. A note that contains unsaved changes is very visibly marked as such by displaying an asterisk in the window title. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Ask-for-confirmation-before-discarding-unsaved-changes.patch | Ask for confirmation before discarding unsaved changes Up until now it was all too easy to accidentally lose work, which has been a recurring complaint from user. This should make things a lot better in that regard. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Disable-save-confirmation-dialog.patch | Disable save confirmation dialog Now that the window title clearly communicates whether or not the note contains unsaved changes, and confirmation is required before discarding them, this dialog feels unnecessary. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Clear-undo-history-on-file-load.patch | Clear undo history on file load Being able to go back further than the initial state of the note is confusing, so it's better to prevent that from happening. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Tweak-window-title.patch | Tweak window title Display only the last component of the filename instead of the full path, and place it before the application name. This ensures that the most important bits of information are displayed first, where they can be parsed at a glance. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Modernize-keybindings.patch | Modernize keybindings Reacting the same way to both uppercase and lowercase letters is very uncommon and likely unexpected for the average user, so get rid of that behavior. More importantly, replace Ctrl+a with Ctrl+Shift+s as the shortcut for "save as". The former is most commonly used for "select all" instead. |
Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-28 | ||
| Implement-keybinding-for-select-all.patch | Implement keybinding for "select all" This is not implemented out of the box by tkinter.Text but it's commonly expected behavior. |
