Oh, boy, was I wrong… constant chat popups, notifications, /home partition full errors etc.

So after a few attempts, I succeeded making it with only one error message and no nortifications.

The video demonstrates two basic methods of creating the Shelf widget

  1. Adding via the widget exporer and then configuring its contents and
  2. Dragging items from the Lancelot menu widget

It also demonstrates the different ways it can be used – as a list or iconified, on a desktop or on a panel.

The music in the background is a mix of a few awesome songs composed by the legendary guitarist Brian May for the Furia motion picture.

Enjoy!

So, I’ve decided to make a new one. This cast is meant as an introduction to Lancelot, rather than to show the new features.

Unfortunately the recordmydesktop somehow blocked drag and drop, so the Parts applet couldn’t really be demonstrated.

So, here it is:

35MB OGV file (full resolution): http://www.sendspace.com/file/1aih65
(I have no idea for how long the file will be available on the server)

And the obligatory YouTube* entry (I suggest watching the HD version):

* For some strange reason, I wasn’t able to upload the video to Vimeo…

It turned out that the last one was made more than a year ago.

So, I decided to make a screencast of Lancelot… it beats writing user documentation every time :) enjoy:

The main reason for the cast was the fact that the Parts applet is not that intuitive to use (if you don’t see what you can do with it). And if you’re asking how I know that most of you haven’t tested the Parts applet, then the answer is simple – there are no bug reports on it, while it is the most unstable part of Lancelot.
