Example: Opening files with a GLib.Application:
public class MyApplication : Application {
private MyApplication () {
Object (application_id: "org.example.application", flags: ApplicationFlags.HANDLES_OPEN);
set_inactivity_timeout (10000);
}
public override void activate () {
// NOTE: when doing a longer-lasting action here that returns
// to the mainloop, you should use g_application_hold() and
// g_application_release() to keep the application alive until
// the action is completed.
print ("activated\n");
}
public override void open (File[] files, string hint) {
// NOTE: when doing a longer-lasting action here that returns
// to the mainloop, you should use g_application_hold() and
// g_application_release() to keep the application alive until
// the action is completed.
foreach (File file in files) {
string uri = file.get_uri ();
print (@"$uri\n");
}
}
public static int main (string[] args) {
MyApplication app = new MyApplication ();
int status = app.run (args);
return status;
}
}
