| This Week... |
|
Beginnings of a list view, and an applet browser integrated into Plasma. Optimisations in Konqueror. More work, including image practice support in Parley. XMP metadata support in Digikam, with new splashscreens announced. Work on playlists in Amarok 2. The Noatun music player becomes a KPart, with musings on its KDE 4 future. Further work on Phonon, with developments on the GStreamer backend. KNetworkManager is ported to work with NetworkManager 0.7. Deep refactoring in the Eigen 2 library rewrite. Kickoff is ported to KDE 4 as a candidate menu replacement option. A plan is hatched to get Kopete ready for the KDE 4.0 release. Import of the KBreakout game to playground/games in KDE SVN. Final moves in the recent KDE SVN reorganisation effort. The KDE Bug Tracker starts to be upgraded to Bugzilla 3.0.

Koos Vriezen writes an update on KMPlayer:
|
KMPlayer is a browser plugin for Konqueror for multimedia videos, and now, also for Flash. When Flash is configured for swfdec, KMPlayer offers a complete Open Source implementation for video in HTML pages. There is also a simple KDE application that also allows viewing of video from other media than network streams.
Quicktime, MS Media Player and Real all have special attributes that an HTML author can use to control these players, likewise for javascript bindings. KMPlayer tries to support all of these. Especially MPlayer has problems with XML playlists and RAM files. So support for these and others is also implemented.
The project was never planned ahead much. All versions of this program have some major refactoring somewhere. Looking at its current state, what is noticeable is that there are multiple small programs that do the actual playing out of the browser process and it has playlist data in memory using custom DOM trees.
The former of course increases stability of the hosting application and also follows the UNIX philosophy of single task programs well. The latter makes KMPlayer playlist formats support easily extendable for new XML formats like the latest addition of XSPF, but also a more in-depth support for SMIL.
The SMIL support had a big boost by moving the rendering code to a visitor and by replacing the ad-hoc painting code with Cairo, a cross-desktop graphics library.
Image and text mediatypes are rendered on off-screen Cairo surfaces, making transitions like fading possible. Also, using Cairo pixmap surfaces as little as possible and heavy caching of these should make any improvements of the Cairo backends (like XRender or OpenGL) improve the rendering speed of SMIL movies.
My longer term goals for the work include replacing the whole GUI with a SMIL file. Whether this will ever happen is yet to seen. For example, when comparing with the Flash media player of YouTube, SMIL has no support for mouse drag for the volume slider, nor for creating editors or clipboard access. Nevertheless, it's KMPlayer's holy grail :-)

Matt Rogers puts out a call to get Kopete in shape for the KDE 4.0 release:
|
For KDE 4.0, we had previously decided to hold Kopete out of the release because we wanted to release Kopete 1.0 with KDE 4.0 and have it be all nice and pretty and totally rockin! We've changed our mind and decided to go ahead and release Kopete with KDE 4.0 and not call it 1.0. Right now, most of the work needs to be focused on fixing bugs since we're in feature freeze.
The call for developers that I put out late last week is designed to get some folks who are motivated to help out with Kopete development.
Fixing bugs is actually a good way to get started with the code and so that's what I'm suggesting new developers do for now. Soon, a new branch for feature development will be started and then people can get started on the sexy stuff :)
Right now, Kopete is basically a straight port from KDE 3 to KDE 4 as you can see from the screenshot:
Long term ideas and goals can be seen on the Techbase wiki at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Kopete/Roadmap. We hope to implement most of these for KDE 4.1.

It seems crazy to me, but I guess it's possible that readers of the Digest could not be aware of the existence of PlanetKDE, the aggregation of blogs from KDE contributors around the world. For those of you who are interested in KDE development and community and are not yet reading PlanetKDE, it really is the ideal counterpart to this publication!

kcachegrind: Fix automatic position of birds-eye view of call graph
This partly was screwed up because the qt3to4 script replaced e.g. TopLeft of a enum in CallGraphView to "Qt::TopLeftCorner", which is way off.
This also adds a further "position", namely to hide to birds-eye view.
And finally, this gets rid of one use of Q3PopupMenu by making QAction's from the menu items to choose the position of the birds-eye view. |

|
In older versions of Qt, the call to restoreState is causing bad flicker in the toolbars and menus. This happens for instance when switching between tabs in Konqueror. This is apparently fixed in Qt 4.4+ since it uses alien child windows.
Konqueror no longer flashes when switching between tabs. |

Assure that the categorized sorting is applied correctly to the proxy model if the view does not support the categorization feature (currently only the icons view supports this). Take care that switching between e. g. the icons-view and the details-view does not change the stored categorized sorting.

Fix toolbar style and size settings not being restored.
The settings were saved correctly, but were always being read from the global config. The KConfigGroup with the global settings was declared in an inner scope with the same name as the one holding the local settings, causing it to be hidden, and the global one to be used in its place. |

Fix crash on Kopete quit. Use K_GLOBAL_STATIC to manage the singleton lifetime.
This is the second time I've done the conversion. The first time didn't go so well, so I ended up more closely following the example this time. This means that Kopete::PluginManager::Private is now just Kopete::PluginManagerPrivate. It also means that the constructor and destructor for PluginManager are empty and the functionality was moved into the private class.
All is working now, and the best part is there's no crash on Kopete quit anymore. :) |

A fix that hides 'hourglass' mouse cursor when form is loaded
For data sets that are large enough to take more than one second to load in form, Kexi shows a hourglass. There was a problem because the mouse cursor wasn't reverted to normal "pointer" type after the form's data is fully loaded. |

kcachegrind: port context menu of call graph to QMenu (part 1)
This convertion to QMenu/QAction also gets rid of some sanity checking of configuration parameters, which (1) was misplaced here and (2) is not needed.
Because of the huge context menu of the call graph, this is done in a few steps, ie. further parts coming...
I admit that the resulting code is probably easier to understand (no fiddling with menu item IDs), and no large switch statement any more.
But the introduction of a lot of new QActions and new slots to handle triggered actions makes the code not really smaller. |

Marcel, libtiff is very sensible to data type to store in tiff tags. This is why 16 bits color depth is broken in kipi-plugin tiff writer implementation.
I have found this difference with digiKam Dimg::TiffLoader implementation: the width and height value need to be casted from int to uint32 to have a fine tiff encoding.
This is really a weird side effect from libtiff...
So now, kipi-plugins RawConverter is able to export RAW to TIFF in 16 bits color depth. |

* Replace the Color Box's "Reload Colors" button with a label stating the name and modified state of the color collection for these reasons:
1. It takes less precious vertical room.
2. Reloading is not that frequent an operation (undoing a color collection mutation would be more useful but is not supported yet anyway).
* Eat color drops (which are usually accidental drags from one of our child widgets) to prevent them from being pasted as text in the main window (by kpMainWindow::dropEvent())
* Remove kpColorPalette::colorCellsIsModifiedChanged() signal to reduce duplication
* Clear up comments about hiding the windowTitle() in both the Color and Tool toolbars |

Given that the Tool Box and Color Box are now QDockWidget's and out of the reach of XMLGUI, we can now remove the KEditToolBar hacks (which were broken by the KDE4 porting anyway).
Editing toolbars works now, except for frequent crashes that also happen in Okular (looks like a kdelibs bug, probably fixed by now, given that I haven't updated kdelibs for a while). Changes also happen straight away, unlike in KolourPaint/KDE3, due to the removal of those hacks. |

Clarence Dang committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdegraphics:

Proper way of renaming from "kolourpaint" to "kolourpaint4": change internal KAboutData name.
This reverts the "KolourPaint4" config group prefixing of the previous commit and we no longer insanely share config files between KDE3 and KDE4.
Changing the internal name to "kolourpaint4" meant that we also had to:
1. Rename the install directories to "kolourpaint4" (including docs)
2. Rename the app icons to "kolourpaint4"
3. Call KAboutData::setProductName() with the bugs.kde.org product name of "kolourpaint" (no '4')
Other changes:
* Various source files no longer have to explicity point to "kolourpaint4ui.rc"
Other changes that seemed to have no effect:
* Change kdegraphics/kolourpaint/CMakeLists.txt's "project" to "kolourpaint4"
* Rename "name" attribute of "gui" tag of kolourpaint4ui.rc to "kolourpaint4" |

With the current architecture it is impossible to create different rules depending on the items that each category contains. All categories are similar to the rest. That also helps to quickly find what you are looking for. |

Assure that the width of the name-column does not get too small when decreasing the width of the viewport.
The code is the same as in DolphinDetailsView::resizeEvent(), but using the DolphinDetailsView in the file-dialog would be an overkill and providing a helper-method/class in kdelibs for this straight forward code seems to be an overkill from my point of view... |

Album grouping: take2. This time using the existing Playlist::GraphicsItems so most of the model logic is kept intact. The model automatically groups items as needed, even when adding stuff one track at a time.
There are still issues with removeing individual items and dragging items around, as well as some graphical update glitches. Aside from this, the playlist is usable with grouped items. Oh, and dont mind the funky colors, I just needed something to clearly identify groups.
We should get our artist to look at how this can be made perrrrrty |

Nikolaj Hald Nielsen committed a change to /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/playlist/PlaylistGraphicsItem.cpp:

Always move length string all the way to the right and give all remaining space to the track name. This causes the track name to not be truncated quite as often and in general makes playlist items, both grouped and ungrouped look a hell of a lot better.
I do realize that this might cause issues when the arbitrary selection of teh 4 data fields is implemented |

Adam Treat committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/konqueror/src:
|
* Konq's 'Location' -> 'File' menu.
I discussed this with David and Fredrik as Waldo's reasons for this name are largely no longer applicable with the new view profiles. |

Bertjan Broeksema committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdepim/kpilot/conduits/base/tests/idmappingtest.cc:
|
Added two tests to make sure that id's get remapped if an id gets mapped for the second time.
e.g. mapping.map( "hh1", "pc1" ); mapping.map( "hh2", "pc1" ); should result in a mapping between hh2 and pc1 and hh1 should not be in the mapping anymore.
vanRijn corrected this behaviour. This tests make sure that it won't happen anymore in the future. |

Till Adam committed a change to /branches/work/kdab-post-4.0/kdepim/kmail/kmail.kcfg:
|
Change the default for what to select on entering a folder to "last selected" from "jump to new". This is less suprising, it seems, and avoids new mails being missed since they are automatically marked as read when entering a folder.
This is perceived as "mail loss" by some users. It's also more predictable when switching between two folders, which apparently a lot of people do. |

I've learned an important lesson:
code quality matters less than marketing. You need to develop a fan base. Implementation matters far less than any of this.
Lots of flashy features - this is what's so good about visualizations
Lots of useless features that are "cool", and that are enabled by default
More than anything, you have to self promote. Everywhere, all the time, constantly. People need to know that your software is the best, even if it's not. Even if you lie.
People want lots of knobs and twiddles and programs that take up the entire screen and then some.
2000-2007
plugins all the way down the equalizer that let you specify the number of bands things are tiny, simple, or they're complex video worked all along
the UI was misleading - there was a lot more interesting stuff buried in there
Now to figure out what to use in KDE4... |

Benoît Jacob committed changes in /branches/work/eigen2:
|
don't enclose eigen in a namespace. prefixing is the way to go.
For example Qt uses a prefix and no namespace (except for a few things) |

Jakob Petsovits committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/pics/oxygen/icon-move.sh:
|
Make lives and involvement easier for people that want to chime into renaming icons, by providing a small script that automates the svn move for all icon sizes.
./icon-move.sh actions/ark-extract actions/archive-extract
That doesn't solve SVN being mean and refusing to tag .svgz files as non-binaries when moving them, but it does all the rest. |
