I think the ability to control the record process would be a great addition to the toolbox, and we'd love to take your contribution. Note that since 2008.08.08 there's also the command line toolbox, so it would likewise be great if you could add support for this feature in both the command line toolbox as well as the graphical toolbox. In terms of code factoring, it would probably be best to add the infrastructure (backdoor commands or whatever) to lib/guestApp, and then implement a gtk pane for the graphical toolbox and a new set of commands in the command line toolbox, both making use of the calls in lib/guestApp. In terms of the process, I suggest you start by signing our contribution agreement (http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/files/vca.pdf) so we can get that bit of bureaucracy out of the way. After that, it would be best to create some patches that implement your design and send them for review to this mailing list. Please stick to the open-vm-tools coding style, which you can find at http://open-vm-tools.wiki.sourceforge.net/CodingStandards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
