Jekyll Wu committed changes in [konsole] desktop/konsole.desktop:

Specify $HOME as working directory through the .desktop file

This is just a workaround for the problem of opening "~/Documents" on startup.
Although it is simple (just one line) and easy to understand, it is still a
not-so-pleasant hack which doesn't need to be added at the first place.

Note, the per-profile working directory still takes precedence if it is set

David Faure committed changes in [nepomuk-core/KDE/4.9] /resource:

Fix race conditions in nepomuk's ResourceData.

So that no AB/BA deadlocks happen, the rule is that the RM mutex must never be
locked after the modificationMutex. It's either modification alone, or RM and then modification.

I had to move some code from RM to RD, because RM was using data->m_cache directly,
without locking data's mutex first!
This new code is not only more threadsafe (no helgrind warning anymore in my tests)
but also much better object-oriented, RM is no longer accessing RD's private data directly.

Fix the analog clock to update every minute at most (60000 milliseconds,
not 6000 ;)

Fix kmainwindow_unittest with my weird multi-monitor setup this week.

Make the window bigger than 50x50, otherwise, at (0,0 50x50) it was

a smaller resolution than screen two. Fun.

Harald Sitter committed changes in [phonon/4.6] cmake/PhononMacros.cmake:

manually set cmake_install_prefix on the icon_install_dir

when doing a cache update we apparently need the full path, which may
be limited to this case, not quite sure.
at any rate our code is vastly different from kdelibs' so a resync is
out of the question for phonon4.

would be good if one of the windows guys were to test this change.

I would have prefered that someone with experience in the code had
reviewed the fix. Unfortunately, it seems that krosspython is currently
unmaintained, so I have decided to push the fix myself.

Sebastian Kügler committed changes in [kde-workspace/kickoff-qml] /desktop/applets/kickoff:

Improve Drop behaviour

When a favorite is dropped under the list, the drop doesn't succeed. The
reason is that the drop is only caught by the items, so there's nothing
catching it when it goes somewhere where there's no item.

Reproduce: in Favorites, drag an item to the bottom of the list. It
works as long as you drop it onto the last item, but silently fails
if/when you drop it under the last item.

We work around this by creating a variable size, invisible footer item
which catches the drop.

This patch also makes the list non-flickable if it doesn't have to,
and fixes a crash when the new list index of the item is bigger than the
number of items.

Aurélien Gâteau committed changes in [kdelibs/qmljsdebugger] /libkdeclarative:

Add KDeclarative::setupQmlJsDebugger()

This static method must be called early for the QML debugger to work.

Vishesh Handa committed changes in [soprano] /virtuoso:

Virtuoso Backend: Make empty graph support optional

Virtuoso doesn't support empty graphs, so we use a fake graph which acts
as the default empty graph.

This approach, while useful, does have a performance impact, as the
graph needs to be regularly checked against this default graph.

Therefore, we add an option to disable this feature. By default, this
feature is enabled in order to preserve compatibility.

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in [kde-workspace] /:

Introduce dedicated OpenGL1 and OpenGL2 compositing types

The CompositingType enum turns into flags and two new values are
introduced: OpenGL1Compositing and OpenGL2Compositing.

Those new values are or-ed to OpenGLCompositing so that a simple check
for the flag OpenGLCompositing works in case of one of those two new
values. To make the generic check for OpenGL compositing easier a method
in EffectsHandler is introduced to just check for this.

The scenes now return either OpenGL1Compositing or OpenGL2Compositing
depending on which Scene implementation. None returns OpenGLCompositing.

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in [kde-workspace] /:

Do not use ShaderManager::isValid to check for OpenGL2 compositing

The main usage of ShaderManager::isValid was to have OpenGL2 specific
code pathes. Now we have an actual OpenGL2Compositing type and we know
that the ShaderManager is valid if we have this compositing type and we
know that it is not valid on OpenGL1Compositing. This gives us a much
better check and allows us to use the isValid method just for where we
want to check whether the shaders compiled successfully.

In addition some effects require OpenGL2, so we do not need to check
again that the ShaderManager is valid. Such usages are removed.

Aleix Pol Gonzalez committed changes in [kde-workspace] /generic/tools/wallpaperviewer:

Make it possible to configure a wallpaper from the viewer

Extend the plasmawallpaperviewer with a --configure flag that will
show the configure dialog additionally to the wallpaper.

It's useful because there it's easy to debug the config dialog, I
don't know other ways of doing that besides installing+restarting
plasma.

Pass -qmljsdebugger option to QCoreApplication

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in [kde-workspace] /:

Introduce a helper class to automatically push/pop Shaders

The ShaderBinder class can be used for the case that a block of code
should be executed with a given Shader being bound. This is useful for
all the cases where there is a if-block for OpenGL2 execution with a
Shader being pushed in the first line to the ShaderManager and popped in
the last line of the block. With the helper this can be simplified to:

ShaderBinder binder(myCustomShader);

or

ShaderBinder binder(ShaderManager::GenericShader);

The ctor of ShaderBinder pushes the given Shader to the stack and once
the helper goes out of scope it will be popped again from the stack.

In addition the helper can take care of OpenGL 1 compositing, that is it
just does nothing. So it can also be used where there is a shared OpenGL1
and OpenGL2 code path where the Shader should only be pushed in OpenGL2.
This basically removes all the checks for the compositing type before
pushing/popping a Shader to the stack.

Clean up NepomukMeta constructors a bit

Phalgun,
* we prefer : m_field( initvalue ) initialization to { m_field =
initvalue }, because the first calls the constructor directly,
second calls the assignment operator.
* initializing class (non-primitive) types to their default values is
redundant, C++ guarantees their constructor is called. This applies
to QString, KShaterPtr and virtually all Qt class types.
* I wonder that KUrl m_playableUrl = NULL; even compiles, don't use
NULL in Amarok code at all.

Also removed unnecessary crippling of NepomukTrack::discNumber() and
a comment in NepomukArtist constructor that was invalid. (or I didn't
get it).

Adapt StatisticsProvider & co. to Meta::Statistics, rename

...and use directly in Track implementations, which saves some code.
Also move all to core-impl/suppor - it is just an implementation
detail.

Also modify PersistentStatisticsStore (legacy StatisticsProvider) to
call notifyObservers() as appropriate, which needs some friend
declarations in Meta.h. Use new Observer functionality to track
linked tracks without holding a reference to them. (to avoid circular
reference counting)

Meta::Track: move statistics methods into statistics() interface

* introduce Meta::Statistics, an interface to statistics-related
methods. Memory manager using KSharedPtr.
* remove (set)score(), (set)rating(), first/lastPlayed(), playCount()
from Meta::Track and move it to Meta::Statistics
* Because Meta::Statistics uses KSharedPtrs, existing track
implementations can just inherit Statistics and return this; in
Track::Statistics()
* Existing Track subclasses with dummy implementations of (set)score(),
(set)rating(), first/lastPlayed(), playCount() have it removed.
* Existing Track subclasses with meaningful implementations of
(set)score(), (set)rating(), first/lastPlayed(), playCount() turned
into Meta::Statistics and statistics() method is added for them.

Next steps:
* Make StatisticsProvider an implementation of Meta::Statistics, which
will in turn immensely simplify all tracks that use them.
* Add setPlaycount(), setFirst/LastPlayed() to Meta::Statistics and
ditch StatisticsCapability.
* Implement trackPlayed() in Meta::Track, ditch custom implementations.

Heavily based on Ralf's idea and patch in
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106276/ it is just attribute vs. the
subclass pattern + some minor details like notifyObservers() in
StatisticsStore, circular refcounting avoidance etc.

I want to deal with other track Capabilities in similar way in future,
the next one being EditCapability: I'd like to introduce Meta::Editable
and Meta::Track::editable() and rename {begin,end}MetaDataUpdate() to
just {begin,end}Update() to share even greater portion of code in Track
implementations.
