Issue 74

Defaulting to no scanning for new plugins is nice from performance point of view, but it's completely unreasonable to expect the user to run the check manually. Check timestamps to find out if a full scan is needed.

This also makes the config options for this more or less unnecessary.

Dolphin using Nepomuk was crashing because if sorting by Rating or Tags and nepomuk is not running we get a crash. service() == 0. Checks will be added on dolphin, but this way we keep Nepomuk rock-solid too.

Fix KGlobalSettings::createApplicationPalette to Do The Right Thing (i.e. use KColorScheme states). Color accessors in KGS are now even-more-deprecated because they are now "wrong" as well, but they use the new ctor so that kglobalsettings.cpp doesn't generate warnings about using the now-deprecated KColorScheme ctor. (Also make the @deprecated doc for said accessors more detailed.)

Fix loading images and add support for loading images from external refs
Fix also the positioning of the image (which should have been proper translated to the global coordinates before drawn)

Changes:

* Add a passive warning widget which is displayed when a color scheme is selected which uses transparency but the system does not support transparency
* Always show the vertical scroll bar in the color scheme list
* Remove quotes around links and email addresses in mouse-over tooltip

Bug Fixes:

* Fix a few odd behaviours with the live color scheme preview
* Fix the 'Show in Menu' status of newly added profiles not being saved when Konsole exits.

(Update Profile's path property when saving the profile to a new location)

Internal:

* Removed many debugging statements and dead / commented out code
* Fix several unused parameter warnings
* API documentation corrections in Emulation class

Fix the shortcut handling with KKeySequenceWidget, thanks to the new validate stuff from kdelibs.

I disabled the ability to override conflicting shortcuts, as it did not work and I did not find a way to actually disable a shortcut of a conflicting action.

Also, I added some todos to do more shortcut checking, currently conflicts against global shortcuts and such are not checked.

Also, remove some tabs and fix 2 deprcated functions.

Fix pasting from the X clipboard and reorganize the kmail paste code for elegance and readability. Patch by Lubos Lunak.

- some bugfixes
- ported DeviceManager to KDE4 and adapted to new kmt architecture (currently, only removing of devices is supported ;-))

Fixed possible GUI freeze when Amarok was showing the dialog for installing mp3 support. Patch by Sascha Sommer:

"The problem seems to be that EngineController::canDecode runs in a seperate thread than the gui thread. Opening up a Kmessagebox there will prevent amarok from handling all gui events and everything will freeze. I therefore put the dialog into an extra function that will later get called from the statusBar."

Ussability issue fixed:
- Faciliate adding entries to the default download folders list <a href="http://reviews.holehan.org/KGet/Settings#toc7">http://reviews.holehan.org/KGet/Settings#toc7</a>;

* add a timeout for stopping the vnc thread
* show VNC error messages not only in the debug output, but also in messageboxes
* do not save the VNC passwort in KWallet if the authentication did not succeeded
* save the mainwindow state (toolbars, size, ...)
* correct the debug area number and change a deprecated debug call

Deactivate "import missing signatures" when we already know to have all

Be careful: we don't "know" if the key has never been expanded before. Only key expansion loads all the signatures and will take several seconds on a big keyring. Therefore unexpanded keys will lead the item always to be visible (behaviour like before).

Lexing of number literals (ints, floats, imaginary) including a test for lexing the various types.

Implement tests for keywords and identifiers.Found 2 bugs for recognizing "or" and "assert" with the tests (another hooray for tests).

* adding support for dbus, registering the kommander script
* linking against kommander libs
* removing old qt3 parts

Implement indenation/dedentation token generation.
Code is butt-ugly and will be unuglified later, but at least it works.Include tests for indentation lexing.

Add a new property to DUContext. When it is set to true, all local declarations will be propagated into the search-hash of the parent-context. This is needed for ruby and python.

Rework the whitespace/comment ignoring a bit. Needed to be able to properly ignore newlines inside open parenthesis.Adjust testcases, no linebreaks inside parenthesis anymore.

- Use smart-mutex locking for more thread-safety
- Create a hierarchy with a top-range instead of creating a single range for highlighting. This makes the reference-highlighting finally work reliably.
- Use another algorithm for determining the chat-box position: Now it tries to avoid reference-position AND cursor

kcachegrind: arrow thickness relates to call cost now

Take advantage of Qt4 painting features by adjusting the arrow thickness in the call graph according to the call cost (actually, thickness is logaritmic to cost).

The same is done in the panner view, which makes the most used call chain quite obvious now.

Consequently, the call cost itself is not so interesting any more as explicit annotation. More interesting is the call count now. Cost percentage is still visible in the icon. This somehow makes the call graph even less cleaner.

IMHO looks quite cool now ;-) I already wanted to do this long ago, but this simply was not possible with Qt3, as it used the line drawing in the X server, and thus the thickness was not adjustable at all...

Initial port of the kvtml1 reader. Types are read, but the list of predefined types still has to be created.

Move some definitons into kvtmldefs.h from reader and writer.

Finally added right click menu for the vocabulary editing table.

Make Graph line colorable.
Added two new examples: softbody collision and wave propagation.

Started KVTML support, at the moment only the config dialog tab.Started GapTrainer to train sentences with gaps.

converted files to kvtml 2 version, and fixed the title and comment tags

Add complete support for READING old kvtml usage labels.
New class: KEduVocCompablility to contain all constants needed for the above conversions.
The type and conjugation stuff should also move there, to finall clean up with all scattered defines.

Adding logaryhtmic gradient types. Patch provided by Johannes Simon.

- Implemented parsing of icons. Currently support only "file://" url scheme. Use MarbleDirs to locate icon

Begin of a class KEduVocIdentifier.
So far it only contains name and locale.

From now on:
- locale = two letter language code, en, es, de,...
- name = description of the contents - English, Spanish, Famous people, Definition, Muscle in latin,...

Next will be to move the articles and personal pronouns into the identifier class.
Eventually the tenses should be kept there as well.

Adapted all readers/writers.
Appending identifiers should always give sane default values.

added context help when creating objects (currently for Particle, Polygon and forces).

Ability to give initial values to attributes

now we can print each photo more than once

digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : Camera Gui improvements : New options to Download pictures and Delete it from camera at the same time.

2 options have been added : "Download/Delete Selected" and "Download/Delete All".

Start making the annotation system DRM-aware. In case the document does not want changes to its annotations (and okular is set to obey),
- disable the review toolbar
- make the annotation prioerties dialog read-only
- disable the removal

Prepare camera menu for autodetection of all USB cameras:
Add submenu "Digital cameras" for non-USM devices.
Add submenu "Camera added manually" for cameras added in old style.

I am undecided if USM cameras will go into "Digital cameras", "USB storage devices", or both.

digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : Camera Gui improvements : camera interface is now based on KXmlGuiWindow instead KDialog.

By this way, the interface is more homogenous with the rest of digiKam (album gui, light table, image editor). It will be more easy to add new options in interface using standard menu (the old one been very limited to 3 simple buttons to host options). The layout is now fully optimized to preserve space between widget.

This version use a status bar where a progress bar is used when camera is busy. A zoom widget set the thumbs size, and a naviguate bar set set current item selected in icon view.

With this version, XMP metadata viewer is available.

It's planed to use this new interface to import new pictures from everywhere (not only from camera). Currently digiKam use a very limited dialog to import files/folders without any import options.

A fresh screenshot: <a href="/issues/2007-09-02/files/digikamKDE4_05.png">http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/digikamKDE4_05.png</a>;

* Draw a grid and snap item creation and movement to this grid. All of this will be configurable in the future of course.

Add Yes/No Warning when deleting a search to avoid accidental removal of complex searches.

Add support for autodetection of gphoto2 cameras with Solid.
As for USM cameras, all other cameras supported by Solid will now be detected dynamically and appear in the menu when they are connected.

The cameras added manually are moved to their own submenu.
Adding manually _should_ now only be necessary for serial port devices.

Note 1: This needs testing.
Note 2: I am not sure about the right solution when no devices are connected:
Should the submenu be hidden, disabled (current solution) or one entry be added "No device connected"?
Note 3: This requires kdelibs at least revision 704641, later than last monday (27.8.)
A necessary method in Solid was added only then.

Implement contextMenu handling in dolphin part (for konqueror)

Shared search history (I hope I did it right...)

Add preliminary state functionality to KColorScheme (basically, doesn't do anything yet except swap in Window colors instead of Selection colors for not-Active state, which is about half of what we did before; for now we lose swapping InactiveText for NormalText).

Use KColorScheme (the new, right way) for the color-coded incremental search. This is now the first example of the 'new, right way' :-).

Soprano Server is done. Should work (but still needs a unit test ;)

Finally we have a Query API able to do something.

I have finished also the test that shows a basic SPARQL query parsed and visited with ExpressionVisitor. The query has Prefix, Variables and TriplePattern(a complex subset of instructions)..and...it works :-)

Add auto-deletion functionality into LayoutAnimator which can be used to delete the item when its removal animation finishes. Emit a signal when the state of an item in the animator changes. Avoid repeatedly setting an item's geometry with the NoEffect effect.

Added a DeadState into which items transition after their removal animation finishes or if they have not been added to the animator. When inserting an item with a fade in effect set the opacity to 0 if the item is a widget.

* Digital clock: - Made clock work properly when used in a layout. This mainly involves using the applet's content size to calculate the element sizes and positions rather than hard-coding everything.

- Use the standard text drawing tools for drawing the date string. It simplifies things with regards to layouting, and internationalization.

- Re-implement expandingDirections() to indicate that the clock does not make use of extra horizontal space.

- Remove size option from clock setup dialog. Resizing applets really needs to be implemented in a universal fashion for the desktop view.

* Add support for an SVG background in the panel. The SVG used is in desktoptheme/widgets/panel-background.svg. Path is currently hard-coded.

Added programmer-art edition of panel-background.svg

TODO: Discuss with artists what they need from the code to get the desired background look in the panel and how to manage different backgrounds depending on where the panel is positioned.

* Horizontal panel layout now works

- added option to Unlock the screen, when device appears again

Start working on the threading.

Start of new tabbed mainwindow - not included in build since very preliminary

Introduction of the itemdelegate for mailody. That part is in charge of the display of the header. So it converts dates to readable dates, formats the size column nicely and applies the colors where needed.

That functionality is now removed from the view and the model. Also the delegate works only on the items showed, hence we increased speed dramatically, before this commit it calculated the dates/size for every item in the model, as soon as data arrived, for all items, including the invisible ones. Credits also go to Johan Thelin. Good book.

Beginnings of Kleopatra as an Assuan UI server. Milestone 1: It compiles and links.

Building the threadproxy, testing with a small test app for now.

More work on my little test application. It can now thread a QStringListModel based on the first letter of the string. Needs polishing, but I want to save a working state.

New media is locally created. You can upload all media with sync button

Move the wizard to the attic. This is step 2 in the process of building the foundation for KChart 2.

Next steps are:
- Move the configuration dialog to the attic
- Rename all C++ files to .cpp instead of .cc to follow the KDE coding standards.
- Copy kchart_part.cc to KChartDocument.cpp and use that in the shape
- Make the application include the shape and also have a toolbar.

Make the tool show in the Tool Options Widget.

This is the first tool for the Chart Shape. A huge step forward.

Implemented reading of line join and cap style.
Sadly ODF has no line cap style so it does not get imported when converting to ODF. :-(

We are now able to let the Orca Screen Reader speak.

This is done by providing with the myorca.py Python script access to the Orca functionality. While we integrate now better into the GNOME-desktop then e.g. gnumeric, this is still only a 200 line sample + I like to hear that english voice reading what I just put into my spreadsheet :)

try it out with; install kspread + krosspython from kdebindings + orca && start orca + run KSpread + exec the Orca-script :)

orca; <a href="http://live.gnome.org/Orca">http://live.gnome.org/Orca</a>;
screenshot; <a href="/issues/2007-09-02/files/kspreadorca.jpg">http://kross.dipe.org/kspreadorca.jpg</a>;

initial dodge filter, only shadow and dialog is broken

Add posibility for user to create new views.

Initial work of a new Sonnet-based spellchecker for koffice
To test, m_enableSpellCheck in SpellCheck.cpp should be changed to true

Use the real OpenDocument chart types instead of the builtin KDChart types.

Next step will be to support all ODF types, and to later find out how to implement them using KDChart.

Extend the current code with "support" for all ODF chart types.

In practice, this means that we can now show all chart types in different situations, like storing them or selecting chart types in a widget, etc. However, we still have to implement support for displaying them using KDChart.

Making Podcasts work using PlaylistManager. The playlist architecture should be beginning to show now.

It compiles, but haven't tested it yet.

Create an applet to replace the coverbling widget. Still a definate work in progress. The applet shows up but is covered by a white box for some reason

Hide time labels when nothing is playing or loaded. Makes things look a bit smoother.

Added option to check data when torrent is finished

Added option to open multiple torrents in one go (in case of multiple torrents, we will open them silently)

Allow to configure/remove identity from the account page

Prioritise at least 1 % of multimedia files instead of the 1 chunk we currently do.

Initial patch was provided by Byte Smythe with some modifications from myself.

Add coloring of metacontacts when they go idle.

If a metacontact is idle, color the item text gray. Coloring of the icons will be added back once there are more icons to display

Add support for honoring the group text color

The view now follows the setting for the group name color. We need to add support for painting in the global text color if the user has requested not to color the groups a different color.

initial implementation of horizontal scrollbar
lots of small details still missing

Some little changes.

The feature 145002 is finished. Now, the user can verify a message or decrypt a message if there is text before or after the encoded message.

The editor detects if the message contains an encoded/signed message.
If it is an encoded message, the original message is replaced by the decrypted one.

Make key groups usable

-Show group members as children of the group. Double clicking on them brings you to the key.
-Show the number of keys in size column of the group

Allow to refresh key members of a key group

Selecting one or multiple groups allows to refresh all keys that are members of this group. Also selecting primary keys is ok, they are also refreshed.

It's no problem if the key groups are expanded, the group member items are simply ignored.

Make systray context menu more consistent

Opening key manager and editor is now always shown, regardless of which action happens on left click on the item. Also naming is now "foo" instead of "Open foo".

Support for attaching to existing process

Save as... , Print selection (still need some works) and clipboard copy works again

Allow theme changes also from menu.
Added second example theme to show working.

Redone the second theme for lskat. I think it came out quite fine :)
Martin, tell me what you think. I'm keeping it in the spirit of your favorite color (which is obviously blue ;) ).

Rewrite of collision detection methods
- collisions of walls are supported
- one edge of each wall does not respond to being hitted by ball

KBounceWall and KBounceBall are now in separate files

edit mode vastly improved, now fully usable

More work on the king of clubs -- mostly finished.

Started work on a "provence" deck variation, with numbers and small versions of the flavours (indices?) t the corners of the cards.

A theme for kmahjong. Piacentini: please review and delete if you don't like it.

Try to reduce the number of redraws by working around qt bugs. Thank you JakubS for doing the hard research work on this.

Speed up checking of large dimap folders by about 15 to 20%, by parsing the digest by hand.

Mouse tracking:
ON for intro so that mouse over works - please leave it on
OFF for game so that refelctions work faster

Port to KPluginLoader/KPluginFactory. Most plugins load.

The problematic ones are:
- kdevplatform/plugins/konsole which uses a custom factory to _not_ load the plugin if the konsole part is not available (i.e. kdebase/apps is not installed), according to the apidocs the custom createInstance function should work but it doesn't and I'm sick from porting atm.
- kdevelop/plugins/appwizard which sets some extra dirs, not sure why this one doesn't load, all the new code does is putting some more code into the constructor of the "generated" factory class.

Matthias I'm cc'ing you as you (hopefully) might have an idea how to port these two plugins

Move KBabel to unmaintained. It will be replaced by KAider. So long old friend.

This branch is for Armando Navarro Vazquez. He created a patchset which makes Kalzium a kpart container thingy for 3d molecule viewing.

Changed header and lib name as per:
<a href="http://lists.kde.org/?t=118812756900003&r=1&w=2&n=6">http://lists.kde.org/?t=118812756900003&r=1&w=2&n=6</a>;

blitz is now qimageblitz

Two new spec docs:
Fonts.pdf: description of how fonts behave in kst2
Layout mode.pdf: description of the UI in layout mode

This is a hack around something we do extensively in Kst that we can no longer do (and *should* no longer do) in the future. Namely, attempt to de-reference a Qt container iterator that might be QContainer::end()

No more 'KstFooPtr = *_inputVector.find("SOMEFOOTHING");'

For now, I've hacked around this so I can draw a curve without specifying error bars. In the future, we'll probably want to redesign our container classes to make this easier.

as discussed on core-devel:

KPluginFactory as KLibFactory (and KGenericFactory) replacement + KPluginLoader

KPluginFactory expects a ctor with QVariantList now. Old code can continue compiling (and working) using KGenericFactory.

KCModule changed to use a QVariantList now, too. In #ifdef KDE3_SUPPORT the old ctor is still available.

More sounds. we should sort them out into nicely coherent themes. I propose Classic and Oxygen. Do not mix them together in one sound theme please!

- Add binding for QPoint
- Add the start of an XEyes style applet
- This demo proves we can get data from a datasource (assuming the mouse dataengine is present).

Disable mouse gestures in GUI, remove many //TODO comments and update others.

Now I remember why exactly I had to rewrite the whole global shortcuts thing (boy was that *painful* at times) - there was no other way to solve a number of long standing issues.

specialize KParts::Part for the create function so that the expected ctor of the part takes the arguments (QWidget *parentWidget, QObject *parent, const QVariantList &args)

Install Oxygen sounds. The sound settings overall will see more work but it's beta2 and these things need to start being included.

this is the final commit of the code completed for gsoc

Notwithstanding all the eventual fights over which classic wallpapers stay and which go, I think we can all agree that a wallpaper that specifically says KDE 3.5 need not be included in version 4.0.

use KPluginLoader, fall back to KLibLoader, fall back to old create_ entry symbol.
I'd like to clean this up further next monday but first the KCModules need to be clean...

Icons on buttons is enabled in kdelibs by default, so enable it here also by default.

F9 opens the places panel (-> consistent with file-dialog), F7 the folders panel ("tree-view")

initial framework for totally redesigned color kcm (in part, to demonstrate that I'm not copying anything more than the absolute bare framework from the old version)

make static-image/slideshow ui start out right, change timer on slideshow to a timeedit, make apply/ok change the timer interval, clean up a bit of formatting, make maximum size 800 so we can actually see larger pictures

This breaks the existing Plasma applet API, see the contentSize() comments below.

* New Flow Layout. This provides simple icon view-esque layout of items.
Useful for icons for documents, applications or other tasks on the desktop for example. Supports non-equally sized items.

Works well when used with the LayoutAnimator class to animate insertions and removals.

* Re-wrote BoxLayout and removed old HBoxLayout,VBoxLayout classes which had a lot of code duplication. BoxLayout class now takes a direction argument in the constructor, ala. QBoxLayout. New BoxLayout class actually takes minimumSize() , maximumSize() of items into account. The Qt layout code for box and grid layouts is surprisingly sophisticated, so the results from BoxLayout probably will not be as good in certain situations but it should do for the panel. New BoxLayout also has support for LayoutAnimator

* Fix Plasma::HBoxLayout and Plasma::VBoxLayout to use margin() rather than spacing() for the distance from the top and left margins respectively.

* Fix Plasma::Applet::contentSize() to return the actual content size rather than a size hint. Added a new method contentSizeHint() which applets use to provide a hint about suitable content size.

Existing implementations of contentSize() in applets need to be renamed to contentSizeHint(). The arguments and return type are the same as before.

* Install the LayoutAnimator header so that applets can use it

re-enabled compilation of taskmanager (required for plasma tasks applet to build)

This work is made possible by robert knight, who is like a god among mortals. It looks like the task manager even works as expected.
Well done.

Don't apply the smallestReadableFont setting to all QDockWidgets

- Remove server dependency on KDELibs, switching to our own functionality

Till: I initially thought about doing it as a singleton because, as you wrote, it is more convenient. However, since the class is shared between server and libakonadi, we can not just use KDE's static deleter, so we will need explicit creation/deletion points. Will be easy to do in the server processes since they have main(), but I'm not sure where to do this for usage in libakonadi.

Session ctor and dtor maybe?

Branching off kdepim for new kleopatra features.

* workbench for text snippes feature in kmail

Completely remove the KIMProxy stuff.

Reasons:
- Most parts are disabled/commented out anyway
- The kdelibs part does not work
- Kopete won't be ready for KDE 4.0
- The author of KIMProxy (Will) is not going to fix KIMProxy, but there are plans to add something similar later, probably based on Decibel.

Add new application akonadictl, which shall be used to start/stop the akonadi server

disable the kicker applet for now; we'll need to port it or some replacement thereof to plasma. then it becomes a question of where it should live. i'm not overly happy with plasma applets being scattered all over kde's svn.

this made more sense when the panel classes were in kdelibs (and causing more overhead for all apps and making it impossible to fix things due to BC issues) but these days not so much.

Divest ourselves of kded/mediamanager. Use Solid to discover PMP devices. I highly doubt anything works at this point -- not tested -- but it does all compile.

Some files that are no longer compiled in are left because I may want to reference the code as I rebuild MediaBrowser.

don't compile knewsticker; it needs to be ported from kicker which is actually starting to die off finally =)

honestly, this should probably be ported and moved either to kdebase/workspace/plasma/ or to extragear/workspace/plasma (the latter doesn't yet exist, but it will if my plans unfold)

Remove the option because this was removed by the commits against smooth scrolling and this is not standard behavior.

<a href="https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304786">https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304786</a>;

kopete is not part of Beta2

Ported zeroconf plugin, we no longer use avahi directly like in the KDE 3 version, but use the dnssd libraries from KDE itself (much nicer)

renamed to fit spec

konsole.* has been renamed to utilities-terminal.*

applications needing this icon should be updated
konsole maintainer contacted.

Changed a theme name from "Black and Red 2" to "True Reflections" cos that's what that theme is/has ;)

Welcome KSimili!
It's a new game based on the game "Set". See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_</a>(game) for more informations.

It's the 1st draft: the game is playable, but I'll work on many improvements in the future.

I started to work on it some months ago, but I think it's now time to commit it in the playground area. :-)

trying Beta2 tagging now

Add the issue numbers for those that I could find. Where I left "none", it means I cannot find the issue in the task tracker, which means Trolltech doesn't know about the issue at all. At least, the changes are not applied in the Qt tree.

Trolltech does not monitor qt-copy/patches.

restart Eigen2 development from scratch.
