Yeah, I used to have a whole bunch of shell scripts to automate KDE 3 apps via dcop and then when dcop was dropped in favor of dbus, the complexity of the latter system discouraged me from porting the scripts.
Whatever technical limitations dcop may have had, its command line was amazing: space separated words and a emphasis on discoverability made it a joy to use
- simcop2387 9y agoqdbus is an almost adequate replacement for that. It's still more verbose and a bit more difficult to pass some arguments (this is all from memory) than dcop was, but it's servicable.
