Gnome-Shell Extension Hamster Activities

At work I use Hamster for tracking time. Recently I moved to Ubuntu 12.04 and GNOME-Shell. Unfortunately, there is currently no applet or other integration of any kind for Hamster and GNOME-Shell. So I made my own: It's a search provider that gets the activities via DBus and presents them as icons. Activating them starts tracking the selected activity in Hamster.


Simply copy the directory hamster-search-provider@gnome-shell-extensions.fre-sch.github.com to your .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions directory and restart the shell. For now, you also need to start Hamster at least once, so the DBus hamster-service is running.
