<pre wrap="">Hi Teus,
welcome on the list. It's nice to do things together.
I'm sending a copy to bt-devel, because your message did not make it onto the
list.

There's no interface yet to do these things. But I think we can put this into
1.5.1.

look like? It could be a TCP/IP port where BibleTime listens on for
certain commands. Or it could be a file that is written by the external

in that file. Or a signal could be sent so that BibleTime would read
that file.

Have a look at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://phil.freehackers.org/kde/kde-techno/kde-techno-2.html">http://phil.freehackers.org/kde/kde-techno/kde-techno-2.html</a>,
it's about KDE's system of inter process communication. Does this sound
reasonable and useful for you?
If it it possible to use that we can add a DCOP interface to BibleTime for
version 1.5.1.
You could even just call the dcop command line tools to make BibleTime scroll
to a given position.
E.g. "dcop kicker Panel restart" executes the restart command for the Kicker
Panel.
Let me know,
Joachim
