# Evolved
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Standalone application for updating Evolution PIM badge with number of unread emails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has no GUI and the only purpose of it - to run as user daemon, check for Evolution files changes, get unread messages count from it's database and send dbus event with new count, so you'll get exact number of unread messages in all your mailboxes on task bar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Golang 1.21+ and C compiler present in system and found in `PATH`, as Evolution database is in sqlite3.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
go install go.dev.pztrn.name/evolved@latest
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Via systemd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put this in `~/.config/systemd/user/evolved.service`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ini
|
||
|
|
[Unit]
|
||
|
|
Description=Evolution badge count.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Service]
|
||
|
|
Type=simple
|
||
|
|
ExecStart=/path/to/evolved
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Install]
|
||
|
|
WantedBy=default.target
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Replace `/path/to/evolved` for real path to binary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After that do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
systemctl --user daemon-reload
|
||
|
|
systemctl --user enable evolved.service
|
||
|
|
systemctl --user start evolved.service
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Via i3/sway/etc. configuration file for autostart
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For i3 and sway there is `exec` thing that launches commands on startup. Feel free to use this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Look for equivalent thing for other WMs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Caveat about desktop file name
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Evolved using `org.gnome.Evolution.desktop` as launcher file name by default. Your distribution might name it differently, check `/usr/share/applications` or `~/.local/share/applications` for actual file name and pass `-desktop-file` parameter to Evolved binary.
