DESCRIPTION
Glib::BookmarkFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing lists of bookmarks to
resources pointed to by URIs, with some meta-data bound to them, following the Desktop
Bookmark Specification. The recent files support inside GTK+ uses this type of files to
store the list of recently used files.
The syntax of bookmark files is described in detail in the Desktop Bookmarks
Specification, here is a quick summary: bookmark files use a subclass of the XML Bookmark
Exchange Language (XBEL) document format, defining meta-data such as the MIME type of the
resource pointed by a bookmark, the list of applications that have registered the same URI
and the visibility of the bookmark.
METHODS
bookmarkfile = Glib::BookmarkFile->new
$bookmark_file->add_application ($uri, $name, $exec)
• $uri (string)
• $name (string or undef)
• $exec (string or undef)
Adds the application with $name and $exec to the list of applications that have registered
a bookmark for $uri into $bookmark_file.
Every bookmark inside a "Glib::BookmarkFile" must have at least an application registered.
Each application must provide a name, a command line useful for launching the bookmark,
the number of times the bookmark has been registered by the application and the last time
the application registered this bookmark.
If $name is undef, the name of the application will be the same returned by
Glib::get_application_name(); if $exec is undef, the command line will be a composition of
the program name as returned by Glib::get_prgname() and the "%u" modifier, which will be
expanded to the bookmark's URI.
This function will automatically take care of updating the registrations count and
timestamping in case an application with the same $name had already registered a bookmark
for $uri inside the bookmark file. If no bookmark for $uri is found one is created.
$bookmark_file->add_group ($uri, $group)
• $uri (string)
• $group (string)
Adds $group to the list of groups to which the bookmark for $uri belongs to. If no
bookmark for $uri is found one is created.
unix timestamp = $bookmark_file->get_added ($uri)
• $uri (string)
$bookmark_file->set_added ($uri, $value)
• $uri (string)
• $value (unix timestamp)
Sets the time the bookmark for $uri was added. If no bookmark for $uri is found one is
created.
($exec, $count, $stamp) = $bookmark_file->get_app_info ($uri, $name)
• $uri (string)
• $name (string)
Gets the registration information of $name for the bookmark for $uri. See
Glib::BookmarkFile::set_app_info() for more information about the returned data.
May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.
$bookmark_file->set_app_info ($uri, $name, $exec, $count, $stamp)
• $uri (string)
• $name (string)
• $exec (string)
• $count (integer)
• $stamp (unix timestamp)
Sets the meta-data of application $name inside the list of applications that have
registered a bookmark for $uri inside $bookmark_file.
You should rarely use this method; use Glib::BookmarkFile::add_application() and
Glib::BookmarkFile::remove_application() instead.
$name can be any UTF-8 encoded string used to identify an application. $exec can have one
of these two modifiers: "%f", which will be expanded as the local file name retrieved from
the bookmark's URI; "%u", which will be expanded as the bookmark's URI. The expansion is
done automatically when retrieving the stored command line using the
Glib::BookmarkFile::get_app_info() method. $count is the number of times the application
has registered the bookmark; if it is < 0, the current registration count will be
increased by one, if it is 0, the application with $name will be removed from the list of
registered applications. $stamp is the Unix time of the last registration, as returned by
time(); if it is -1, the current time will be used.
If you try to remove an application by setting its registration count to zero, and no
bookmark for $uri is found, %FALSE is returned and an exception is fired.
May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.
