Bug Fixes

Development Tools

Milian Wolff committed changes in [kdevplatform] plugins/quickopen/projectitemquickopen.cpp:

stable sorting for equal-matched ProjectItems

Without this patch, items that are equally well matched
by a filter string might change their order randomly
when the filter string is refined but the match-quality
stays equal

Andi Fischer committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/umbrello/umbrello/codeimpwizard:

Resizing of code import wizard fixed and improved. Wizard is now usable also for small screens.

Educational

Rafal Kulaga committed changes in [kstars] kstars/texturemanager.cpp:

Try to load textures from main data directory if they aren't in 'textures' dir.

This fixes the issue reported by Manfred. This might not be the best option available,
but we don't want to break anything for people that are happy with textures in
main data directory.

Bernhard Beschow committed changes in [marble] src/lib/MarbleWidget.cpp:

Resizing the widget changes the viewport.

(cherry picked from commit 2266a469a990acbfd3f969107a725b36957f12dc)

Jekyll Wu committed changes in [konsole] src/main.cpp:

Konsole should use new process when some Qt/KDE options are given

One typical option is "--display", because two konsole windows
belonging to the same process are destined to be shown in the same
display, which defeats the purpose of the "--display" option

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

Export workspace as global property on ScriptEngine in QML bindings

If workspace is exported as a context property there seem to be
issues with the signals which are not bound to a property of
WorkspaceWrapper.

This problems seems to be fixable by exporting the workspace
property as a global property on the script engine.

As a side-effect this also resolves the issue with the clientList,
so we can drop the hack again.

Ivan Čukić committed changes in [kdelibs/ivan/plasma-active-patches] khtml/rendering/render_form.cpp:

Fix rendering of text input elements having padding by removing the use
of cached parent's proxy style, that end up to return a wrong content rect
size, and using ad-hoc style() function instead. Actually only KLineEdit
inherits KdeUiProxyStyle (since kde 4.5) so the behavior of our internal
proxy is unchanged for the other form elements (i.e m_proxy was always 0 for them).

Also the crash reported in #197270 is no longer reproducible after this change,
likely it has been fixed elsewhere...

Peter Penz committed changes in [kde-baseapps] /src:

Ensure authentication data is cached properly

The attached patch sets the main window on the main directory
lister in DolphinView and KIO jobs in DolphinMainWindow to ensure
that login data for remote protocols such as sftp, ftp are cached
properly for the duration of the application. Otherwise, the end
user is going to end up being unnecessarily re-prompted to enter
password login information.

Thanks to Dawit Alemayehu for the patch!

KDE-PIM

Andre Heinecke committed changes in [kdepim] messageviewer/objecttreeparser.cpp:

Fix parsing of combined encrypted/signed messages

In the case that a mime object was encrypted and signed the
rendered mail showed an incorrect signature status because the
signature was aready checked with the decryptverifyjob and the
key object not available in writeOpaqueOrMultipartSignedData.
(So only the fingerprint was used).

In the case that writeOpaqueOrMultipartSignedData is called
to show OpenPGP Encrypted and Signed data with a valid signature,
the signature's key is now fetched from the OpenPGP backend using
the fingerprint from the signature.
The Key is then used as in the other cases to show the details
(Name / Trustlevel etc.)

This fixes the rendering of openpgp mails signed with the combined
method which is used by mutt, gnus etc.

Gopalakrishna Bhat committed changes in [calligra] libs/odf/KoXmlWriter.h:

With gcc 4.7 installed we where not able to save a odt file because the xml file that was generated was
missing the '>' for a tag. Example
<manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type="" manifest:full-path="Thumbnails/thumbnail.png"
</manifest:file-entry>

The missing close tag was because while doing a stack.pop the hasChildren (a bitfield) of Tag was not
populated correctly. This patch fixes this problem(workaround for a gcc bug? not sure)

C. Boemann committed changes in [calligra] /flake:

Fix shadows for both single shapes and shape group

it also fixes if a shape is child of another shapecontainer

There is some lingering bug with the default tool not using the bounding box
correctly (which can be seen by rotating a shape group)

Shadows for shape groups also don't work correctly through load/save/edit
cycles, but that is not really related to this.

C. Boemann committed changes in [calligra] /widgets:

Remove the filter colors functionality in in the color popup
This should fix a crash due to index not being correct

Also make sure we actually intialize with a palette

Okay to backport?

Make sure linespacing is applied and also make usre we do the inheritance check

However the fix contains a new string so it can't be backported to 2.4 series

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">

Workaround the bug by removing the px from the viewBox string before loading
the viewBox values.

Lamarque Souza committed changes in [kde-workspace/screenlocker] /:

Changes to incorporate screenlocker into ksmserver.
kscreenlocker is now a static library linked against
libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so. There is still another executable
(kscreenlocker_greet) that is responsible for drawing the QML unlock
screen (the one with the clock). I changed ksmserver to close
screenlocker right before closing the window manager, that is needed to
prevent kwin from becoming a "zoombie". Because of that sometimes you
will still be able to see the home screen right before the computer
finally shuts down.

Complete iPod collection rewrite (also supports iPad, iPhone)

This is a result of 3-month effort to make Amarok iPod-like device
support future-proof and less buggy by using more modern MemoryMeta
framework to manage tracks internally.

The new plugin still uses libgpod [1] to access the devices and
supports all devices supported by it. The newest models may need the
infamous libashab.so library.

FEATURES:
* Small configuration dialog for iPods that shows troubleshooting information
and allows to change iPod name.
* Improved usability of iPod playlists: iPod collection automatically transfers
tracks dropped to iPod playlists to iPod when it is needed.
* Tracks can now be transcoded when transferring them to iPod.

CHANGES:
* optional libgpod dependency raised to 0.8.2 to support newest iPods.
* Amarok now prevents accidental unmounting of iPods in (small) time-frames
when iTunes database on iPod is not yet updated.
* Amarok detects when iPod is to be ejected from system and gracefully
disconnects it when it occurs.
* Hitting the eject button on iPod collection ejects it also from the system.
* iPod collection now detects whether iPod is safe to write and marks iPod
as read-only if not. This prevents "iPod shows 0 tracks" problem.
* Correct progress bar advancement when transferring tracks to iPod.
* iPod Collection supports multiple simultaneous cancellable transfers.
* Improved dialog to initialize iPod.

BUGFIXES:
* Detection and elimination of stale and orphaned iPod tracks now works
correctly; users are notified about these when iPod is plugged in.
* iPod playlists now work correctly.
* Show correct error when transferring unsupported files to iPod.

Nicolás Alvarez committed changes in [kde-ruleset/kdemm-myway] /:

kdemultimedia: turn into a more traditional layout of rule files.

The kdemultimedia rule files were intentionally missing the final
'match /' rule, so that they could run at the same time by passing all
the files to svn2git at once, followed by a kdemm-bottom-rules file
containing *only* the 'match /' rule.

The problem is that then the rule files by themselves are incomplete,
they won't work without the bottom-rules file. This is incompatible with
the automation scripts I use to run conversions (especially the 'convrun'
that runs them on dewey).

In addition, I fear it could cause problems with the conversions
themselves: if a path is matched by more than one rule, its presence
in the repos would depend on the order the rule files are given to svn2git.

This commit adds the "match /" rule to all the individual rule files
and removes kdemultimedia-bottom-rules.

Sven Krohlas committed changes in [amarok] /:

move the Free Music Charts script from playground/ to src/

That feature is part of VLC by default and is going to be included in
Tomahawk soonish, too.

The script is very well tested, very popular and received a lot of
positive feedback during the last few years. So I don't see any reasons
not to include it. Don't prove me wrong. ;-)

Also there is a massive copyright debate going on in Germany and some
free music artists complained to me, that it is nearly impossible to get
attention for their music, as traditionial media are more or less dominated
by the large major labels. So let's help those artists. :)

DIGEST: Ship the Free Music Charts script with Amarok by default

Make it possible to restore presence on login

It uses the ConnectsAutomatically property and the AutomaticPresence.
In the kcm you can enable/disable this feature (ConnectsAutomatically
is set) and on every presence change the new presence is set as the
AutomaticPresence.
This way mission-control cares for setting the saved presence as soon as
possible.

If you want to manage this manually you can change the setting in
ktelepathyrc:
