Issue 62

10th June 2007 by Danny Allen

This Week...

Umbrello gets a code generator for the D programming language. Further work in Plasma. Initial work to allow the Dolphin file view component to be embedded into Konqueror. More work in the KOrganizer Calendar and KRDC Summer of Code projects, with the start of the Icon Cache, TextTool Plugins in KOffice and Kopete Messenger update projects. Start of a Solid interface in Amarok, with breakthroughs in support for the Jamendo music service. KDevelop begins to be ported to the KDevPlatform structure. A return to progress on the Cokoon SVG window decoration engine, with the addition of PyQt4 bindings. A streamlined command-line screenshot utility, kbackgroundsnapshot, is created. The Gwenview image viewer moves to the kdegraphics module, whilst KPF, KWifiManager and KDict are removed from the kdenetwork module for KDE 4.
Rafael Fernández López illustrates his latest work on KListView (implemented in Dolphin) with a video:
KListView work has been started in Dolphin. It will live in the Dolphin project util it becomes mores mature, when it will be moved into the libraries. All applications will be able to benefit from it, and from its categorizing functionality. KListView has been developed to make the user experience with file managers as easy as possible, as well as intuitive.

However, file managers are not the only area which can benefit from these features. It is possible to create a custom categorizer, which will categorize items as needed, for example "ADSL Connections" and "Dialup Connections" in a configuration window.
Frederik Gladhorn discusses recent and future changes to KVocTrain and its vocabulary manipulation libraries:
Hi, my name is Frederik Gladhorn and I'm working on KVocTrain since the beginning of this year. Initially spending some time in Spain made me learn vocabulary once again - not my favorite task. Using KDE, KVocTrain was a natural choice, but it was soon driving me crazy! That's how it all started... a small patch to Peter Hedlund who thankfully kept KVocTrain alive for quite some time. KVocTrain has improved quite a bit since February. The search finally works like in other apps (such as KMail or Amarok for example). My first real change was to make the funny little unusable combo box that was used to select a lesson go away. It was kept in the toolbar and is now replaced by a list of lessons within the main window. This makes it much easier to use.

Another change is the wizard which was added to make it easier to create a new vocabulary, which has traditionally been a bit of a pain for new users, since they were required to dive into the deeper depths of the configuration options, of which we have plenty to offer. So hopefully just using the program became a little easier. And of course the general aesthetics have been polished, already earning a few positive comments.

Since this already required some changes to the library handling the documents, I started looking at that code. Let me say it's not the most beautiful code in the world. There are several bugs regarding KVocTrain, that will be solved best by structurally changing this library. One great feature of KVocTrain is that it has support for more than one language in a vocabulary. But it has a big deficiency in this implementation. It has been a wish for a long time to be able to practice an arbitrary combination of the languages contained in one vocabulary for example. So far one language is deemed the original language, and one can only practice this language with the other ones. Also much of the code is basically a duplication handling once the index 0 and then index 1..n.

During the next months I hope Jeremy Whiting and I will be able to bend the library to our will. I estimate some files can shrink to about two thirds of their current size because of the widespread redundancy which will be eliminated, while some new classes will see the light of day making it a little more object-oriented, making the API nicer to use. Another point is the output XML. KVTML is our file format (XML) which contains the vocabulary. It will be much more human readable, whereas it used to be pretty cryptic because of using many attributes and one letter abbreviations.



For the future of KVocTrain I hope to be able to improve the statistics a bit, so that a per-session result can be displayed, then make the practice dialogs look a little nicer (artistic and usability comments are very welcome!) and polish them under the hood to make them share more common code and easier to add a new ones. There are many improvements that I'd like to see, but this will keep us busy for quite a while already.

Bug Fixes

Graphics

Albert Astals Cid committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/okular/generators/ghostview:

gs often gives me 634x898 when i asked for 635x898
okular needs the pixmap to be the exact size he asked for, so preporcess it

KDE Base

Peter Penz committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdeui/widgets:

The size of the docks inside KMainWindow has not been saved in the following use case:
- open an application which has several docks
- resize the docks without resizing the window or adding/removing docks
- close the application

This has been fixed now.
Implementation note: installing the KMainWindow as event filter by dock->installEventFilter(this) and overwriting QMainWindow::eventFilter() did not work inside KMainWindow::event().

Luciano Montanaro committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin/clients/b2/b2client.cpp:

This fixes the bug 142424 as originally reported, for the B2 decoration.
Keramic has the same issue, but the code is completely different.

The title unhiding code is still broken with Composite enabled, though.

KDE-PIM

Allen Winter committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim/kmail/kmkernel.cpp:

Albert Astals Cid committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/okular/generators/ghostview:

Rework ghostview generator, not finished but i can see valgrind_manual.ps quite correctly
- We don't use libqgs anymore but libgs directly
- We don't use an out of process executable anymore to talk to libqgs

Using libgs is a bit cumbersome (only one gs instance per process) and almost no other gs viewer does it, but if you look at kghostview code it's full of X black magic, so going the libgs path feels better for my sanity and for portability

- kind of fix the event loop which led to signals being dropped

Note that the event loop is never finished for download, and that I still don't understand why it worked for the test apps, but at least you can view KAnagram files in KAnagram now.

David Faure committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs:

When application A handles postscript and application B handles text/plain, prefer (by default) A over B, no matter what the InitialPreference is. The initial preference is now understood as "for a given level of mimetype inheritance", so that real handlers are preferred over more generic handlers, by default (user configuration can override this, of course).

With unit test (which creates a fake .desktop file).

This includes a ksycoca format change, so KSYCOCA_VERSION was updated; make sure to install the updated kbuildsycoca as well if you update & install kdecore.

Made weightedOffers() private (moved to .cpp file in KServiceTypeTrader, made private + friend in KMimeTypeTrader). And export one less symbol, KServiceTypeProfile::sortMimeTypeOffers().

Peter Penz committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kfile:

The Oxygen style uses a gradiented background, which makes it necessary that the URL navigator uses alpha blending instead of mixing colors. Looks quite nice now :-)

Peter Penz committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/dolphin/src/dolphinview.cpp:

Instead of darkening the background color of an inactive view, just use a transparent background. Makes no big difference for styles like Plastique, but looks better for Oxygen.

First big step to make it possible that the DolphinView can be embedded as KPart into Konqueror (discussed with David Faure). A lot of refactoring of the DolphinView has been done:
- The DolphinView does not contain the URL navigator, the filterbar and the statusbar anymore. Those widgets have been moved to DolphinViewContainer.
- The DolphinView does not contain any reference to the main window anymore.
Currently there are some minor regressions (the statusbar shows less informations, renaming has been deactivated), but they will get fixed during the next days. Also still a lot of interface cleanups must be done, but let's just do it step by step...

Loïc Corbasson committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdepim/korganizer:

Draft of the new CalendarDecoration interface and first plugin ported (Picture of the Day). The interface still has to be extended to the various views, and implemented in the various views and positions (see my blog at <a href="http://blog.loic.corbasson.fr/">http://blog.loic.corbasson.fr/</a>; for an overview).

Picture of the Day is also still a work-in-progress: no functionality improvements there in this commit. Older plugins can still use the OldCalendarDecoration interface; places in the code relative to this interface have been marked to ease the removal if decided.

There is still a lack of documentation, which will be completed in a future commit. Feel free to comment, as this is my first interface design tentative, and finding a way to make it as flexible as wished in the initial specifications was not completely evident for me.

Not sure why. I don't want to take a class in astrophysics.
Maybe something to do with timezones or DST?

Bottom line: the unit test will fail.

!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody who wants to change something in kdevelop/lib or one of the plugins that are copied to the platform (snippet, teamwork, konsole, filemanager, duchainviewer):
Don't, checkout kdevplatform and do the change there. I'm starting to port kdevelop to use the platform tomorrow and expect to be done on wednesday evening. I will do this in a separate branch and the first thing that will happen are deletion of lib/ and the mentioned plugins.

Create a kbackgroundsnapshot.
It's just a command line which allows to make screenshot directly and store picture on desktop 'a la MacOsX'
It's easier than :
-> launch ksnapshot
-> select type of snapshot
-> create snapshot
-> select filename for snapshot
-> save snapshot

kbackgroundsnapshot is just one snapshot, but if we add global shortcut for each type of snapshot we can make life more easy I think.

Fix mem leak into ksnapshot.

Jeff Mitchell committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/solid/solid:

With Kevin Ottins' blessing, checking this in -- sorry about the API. Functions removed were because they are unlikely to return valid (accurate) data, and device libraries generally handle this correctly, so taking this out before it's stuck in there until 5.0 (can be added back later if this situation improves).

Functions added better reflect current HAL specifications (which were modified in conjunction with this work), allow for multiple drivers for devices, and allow applications to discover a device's protocol, which is crucial for automagically using a device in an application.

Hopefully there won't be any further breakage here.
