Chandler-DependencyPlugin Support Dependencies between items in Chandler The Dependency Plug-in is an experimental plug-in, created early on to demonstrate some of the things that are possible in Chandler Desktop's plug-in framework. However, as we've made changes and improvements to the app, plug-ins such as this one have not been updated or tested. As a result, to safeguard against data corruption, we recommend that you run a separate, clean version of Chandler when installing plug-ins. The Dependency Plug-in adds rudimentary dependency tracking between items in Chandler. To set an item as a dependency, copy the item, select another item, then go to the Edit > Dependencies menu. New Dependencies and Blocking menus will be added to items, selecting a dependency or blocker will navigate to that item. There is currently no way to remove a dependency. To download and install the plugin from the Chandler UI, use the "Plugins -> Download" and "Plugins -> Install" menus. To download and install the plugin from the command line, use Chandler's InstallPlugin script and restart Chandler:: InstallPlugin Chandler-DependencyPlugin If you want to work on its code, you can use:: RunPython setup.py develop to install it in development mode (where you can make changes and have them take effect whenever Chandler is restarted), or you can use:: RunPython setup.py install to install it as an ``.egg`` file. Note that when installed as an egg file, changes made to the source code will not affect Chandler execution, until you run ``setup.py install`` or ``setup.py develop`` again. After making changes to this plugin, you should update its version number in ``setup.py`` and in the chandler/Makefile, so that people using "quick builds" of Chandler will use your new version. If you want to run this plugin's tests use:: RunPython setup.py test For more information on the plugin development process, see the original proposal at: http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-dev/2006-March/005552.html Jeffrey Harris 0.1
