Issue 30

Patch from Modestas Vainius to fix Bug 122020 (kdesvnd action menu issues)
He said, and I agree:

Do not time out when waiting for the reply for the X-KDE-GetActionMenu DCOP call. DCOP protocol is synchronouos by design and a reply for the timed out call (i.e. garbage) still arrives and might be falsely returned as a valid reply for the subsequent DCOP call on the same connection. The application currently known to be badly hurt by this is kdesvn and its konqueror service menu integration. Its X-KDE-GetActionMenu might take longer than current 100 milisecond timeout to complete. As a result then, a late reply will "pollute" a main DCOP connection of the client application (e.g. konqueror) causing further DCOP failures.

Prevent crash-inducing recursion of detach due to blur events
happening when widgets with focus get destroyed, by quietly shifting
the focus to the view...(#135384, probably #124342 --- best I can tell given
imperfect information); also affects some bugs which I separately closed as
non-reproducible, but which involved such a sequence

Also fixes freezing in #92497, as we no longer try to find something
to focus when nothing is focusable..

fix up various typos in kdebase docs. Natalie, I suspect that the go menu missing is a Kubuntu customisation since it is here in my vanilla 3.5 branch. Thanks for filing such great bugreports so faithfully.

when the track (and thus the lyrics) changes, reset scrollbar position of lyrics tab to the top

make playlist context menu tall enough for the side pixmap by always showing the 'stop playing after this track' entry

Hide passwords from recent site list in quick connect dialog.

Addes some safety checks on IP addresses before connecting to peers. This should prevent bug 136392.

Fix crash when kpart in a tab other than the currently selected tab goes down.

don't allow autodrop if cards are moving

More ruby parser improvements:
- recognize comments
- recognize scoped names (ala Foo::Bar ) as proper module names
- recognize ruby symbols
- recognize if/unless/while/until statement modifiers
- two consecutive method calls without parens are no longer parsed as one statement

Now the parser understands pretty sophisticated ruby programs!

Implementing non-colliding text labels in kdeeduplot, based on kmplot code.

It works, but it could probably be faster. You don't need to know anything about it to use the feature, it all happens behind the scenes. Just add some items with labels and enjoy the magic.

However, in the interest of inspiring optimization, here's a brief description of how it works.

KPlotWidget now has a private array of floats: PlotMask[100][100]. This is a rough division of the content of the plot into a 100x100 grid. Where the plot is empty, the array is zero, where it has content, it is >0. When items are added to the plot (points, lines, bars, or labels), the corresponding positions in PlotMask are incremented by an amount that can vary for different kinds of items (for example, right now Bars don't increment as much as points or lines).

The function KPlotWidget::placeLabel() is responsible for positioning item labels. It attempts to place the label close to the point to which it belongs, while minimizing the label's overlap with masked regions of the plot. Ideally, it won't overlap with masked regions at all. This is done in a rather brute-force way: it tests label positions in a 40x40 grid around the position of the point, and determines the "cost" for placing the label at each position. Higher cost is incurred for (a) overlapping with a masked region, (b) being further from the point position, and (c) extending beyond the bounds of the plot. The position that has the lowest "cost" is then adopted, and the label is drawn at that position.

You can get an idea of the CPU impact of this cost-analysis using the test suite I added to kdeeduplot. Display the "Points, lines and bars" plot, and then resize the window. Note the smoothness of the redraws. Now display "Points, lines and bars with labels" and resize the window. The redraws take much longer in this case.

Create a new AnnotationEngine to select some text from the current page, and make it able to distill Highlight annotations. Now you can hightlight th text in your document, wooo :)

kipiplugins from trunk : new HTML Export theme named "s0" from Petr Vanek
See <a href="http://www.yarpen.cz/digikam">http://www.yarpen.cz/digikam</a>; for details

Show a 'keep password' checkbox when using a wallet so the user can decide if he wants the password saved in the wallet.

* The feature dialog now test if we can show video thumbnails.
* The feature dialog now tests better to see if we can show videos.
* New application icon

Add a new power management backend using HAL.

Add a kcm to control backend preferences.

Support for animations, still some todo's pending.

Check the header of streamed zip files as valid too, because we now support it in Strigi.

Adding initial support for default placemark binary cache

New template goodies from Dmitry:
1. Conversion phrases into templates
2. Per-identity templates
3. Templates are used also with multi-message forward (was missed)
4. C-style correction of templatesconfigurationimpl.cpp
5. Minimal and default sizes of templates configuration widget diminished a
little; folder properties are not so huge now.
6. Several commands added: %CCADDR, %CCNAME, %CCFNAME, %CCLNAME, %OCCADDR, %OCCNAME, %OCCFNAME, %OCCLNAME

Please continue testing templates.
Great work Dmitry! Glad to have you helping with KMail.

Now we need to get some code from Johnathan :)

Make it possible to send attachments. Will tune later...

Composer attachment experiment failed. Show attachments in a separate listview next to the addresses. Sort of Thunderbird solution. Hide/Show automatically.

- Save all the sizes of all the splitters and all the listviews out there

- Implement poor mans autoexpand folder with childeren on hover when dragging message, wonder if I missed something in the api....
Almost time to prep a tarball.

Monur's KMail Message Tagging
as found on <a href="http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=36322">http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=36322</a>;

Cleaned-up just a bit by me.

Monur, didn't you want to do more with this feature, like adding colors?

Johnathan Marten's Create Template from Composer.

When creating a new message you can save that message as a template.
Templates are stored in a new "templates" folder.

Hand-patched by me, with style changes.

from the todo list:
- dont close composer without warning when there is data
- check for duplicate addresses in the composer
- sort indicators in the composer missing
- reworked the listviews, so the delete column is always visible and column 1 always takes as much space as possible.
- context menu with delete is not needed now in those lists
- renamed 'file' to 'attachment' in composer
- add a space between organisation and emailaddress

Apply patch that Jason Keirstead provided over 1.5 years ago.
Please test.

Improved templates support from Dmitry:

1. Coding style fixes.
2. Little refactoring.
3. Custom reply/forward templates added (David Faure ask for them on list)
4. Various bug fixes, including major one -- wrong charset on %TEXT command

Add a holidays for Greece.
Submitted by Dimitris. Thanks!

Improve communication with KAddressBook:
- addressbook is now loaded asynchronous, so the composer opens instantly and addressess follow later.
- delete from addressbook and open address from the addressbook sidebar
- add an address to the addressbook from the addresslist.

When hitting escape during dragging a point the drag will be canceled

When dragging a point more than 15 pixels outside the widget the point
is deleted (unless you drag it back inside)

hitting exacpe while dragging outside will probably crash at the moment

Can't test it as krita is not working at the moment

first draft for the attribute processing system, the functionality is outlined, the class does not compile nor is any mehtod complete especially the scriptLevel things will be changes again as they are wrong designed... so much to do

import/export eps files using graphics magick

* Kexi Query Designer supports parameter queries *

Query Designer
- New: Added support for parameter queries in design and SQL view.
User is asked for entering value of a parameter in a dialog window.
Paramers can be of any type except Object.

more work on kjsembed-backend

Implemented thumbnail painting for shape containers
(see <a href="/issues/2006-10-29/files/karbon_hidden_rect3.png">http://www.gfai.de/~jaham/karbon/karbon_hidden_rect3.png</a>;)

Nice eh!

New class;
we need a better way to do progress notification for various actions.
A simple usecase is a user action or filter that can be split into multiple
subactions which each have their independent progress indication.
We want to show the total progress in a progressBar.

This new class does that and all of the following features:
* threadsafe
* be able to handle more than one concurrent action
* be safe
* be cancelable
* non-modal
* be fast
* be really easy to use

Improve layout of organize files dialog a bit.

read audio properties from wav files

allow for transferring .wav files to ipods

Magnatune icon for the browser. Thanks to apachelogger for making it! :)

Implement seeking.

Now trying to get Juk to actually seek.

Add zoom support and correct the view

*Try* to convert old dynamic playlists, instead of just ignoring them.

Support for %genre and %composer fields when guessing tags from filename

support for user-definable labels:)

When the script can't find lyrics, provide a link for a web search.

Playlists are now saved with relative paths by default. I think this is what most users want.

Changes :
- Added advanced preference page
- Moved GUI update interval and memory usage option to advanced pref page
- TOS field of IP packets is now configurable
- Hash checks during uploading of big chunks can now be turned off

Add support for editing ICQEmailInfo and ICQNotesInfo.
All user info classes are implemented :)

Added two more per-site settings, "use site IP for passive mode connections" and "disable 'force active mode to use this IP' for this site".

Now it's possible to send messages to chatrooms. i've also removed the possibility to have several chats opened, as the yahoo
protocol apparently does not allow that.

* WARNING: APPLICATION NOT RELIABLE AT THIS POINT! DO NOT USE FOR PRODUCTION!
* More work on MultiTarget configuration
* Make new Target Configuration handling work
* Import old setting in localhost, on upgrade
* Lots of code cleanup & small fixes
* Update Version String to 1.1.0 - to much changes and new features -> name it so

List contacts from Telepathy and create Temporary MetaContact from now.

new icons

new icons

New icon (beta) for recycled files

Two new icons for the cdaudio device (mount and umount).

Changements are now reflected in my folder.

finish rewrite as kcm modules

Better exporting, and add ability to import.

Add gamefu_launch, a commandline tool that launch the specified URL in arguments.

Reenable Board Editor and the ability to load a layout from disk. Editor is restored to previous functionality, but it needs new controls to specify the initial board size and to add/remove lines and columns now that the game supports dynamic board sizes.

limit the maximum count of computed comments to 1000, so showing a VERY long completion-list doesn't take all that long

Don't rebuild all of the thumbnail widgets everytime their size has changed.
This makes rotation in large documents much faster.

Optimizations of the Thumbnail list.

We now only create thumbnail widgets for thumbnails that are really visible in the viewport. That means we need to create only a very small number of widgets, and not one widget per page as before.

This gives a huge performance boost for all operations, expecially loading and closing of documents, and rotating the view, since the creation and especially deletion of QWidgets is quite slow.

The performance gain is only noticable for very large documents with 1000 or more pages.

There are still a few little regressions, which I will fix later.

this is my fourth-attempt on memory-efficient DOM.
now it's faster, using less memory, and more compatible with Qt 4.2's QDom

Basic queue and transfer speed optimisations.

After a lot of preparation, finally removed full redraw at every tile addition and removal. There is still some room for optimization, but at 800x600 play area the game is now using less than 1% of a 2GHz cpu, with minimal redrawings.

Unfortunately, this change is for KDE4 only and can not be backported to 3.5.x series.

Work branch to port Akonadi to auto-generated database code. It just breaks too much to do it in-place.

- this is obsolete, thanks to Nikolas's excellent work of feeding everything
back into Apple's repository (and more!)

Use a slightly more intelligent way of detecting whether the D-Bus daemon is running: instead of trying to kill -0 it, try to connect to its address (using qdbus).

This has the added benefit that it works with the autolaunch method that was introduced with D-Bus 0.94. If you're using 0.94, you no longer need to run "eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`" before starting your KDE4 applications (this is valid for individual applications, not just startkde).

Note: this requires qdbus to be in your $PATH. But everyone has Qt 4.2's bindir there, right?

Initial checkin. Please read the README for infos on status, etc.

This function is both broken and unneeded (QKeySequence has a constructor for int). BIC, but not SIC.

Alt-Tab and friends all work properly now (in KWin).

Reinstate the filters menu -- and the filters
appear to be working just fine.

- first step of refactoring the configuration of the filter system (more on a mail later), the configuration isn't anymore created in the filter but in the widget
- disable most of the filters, as the change need more work on libraries

Import KDChart 1.1.4.

I had to disable support for QSA, since it didn't compile. If you
want to reenable it, then remove the # in Makefile.am and remove #if 0
in KDChart.cpp.

In KDChartVectorTable.cpp, I had to disable the destructor since it
was defined in both the .h file and the .cpp file. Apparently, the
author works with gcc version 3.x. :-)

Import KTabEdit, a tablature editor

Got kio_bluetooth working with the latest bluez DBus API.
Removed bluez linking and any socket communication.
kio_bluetooth is at the moment hardcoded on the first Adapter.

KBattleship is broken (unmaintained?) Re-enable it when it is working with KDE4, or when a maintainer is found, as it is preventing the building of the kdegames module at this time

ported simple simon (I wanted to create an animation for whole slots, but I'm unable to beat that freaking simon)

Reenabled kbattleship, problem was in CMake files modified a couple of
days ago.

Dump dependency on QtGui by not using Qt::escape. This makes libpatternist link to about half as many libraries.

Some things are, pardon my french, hard to understand in Qt, in my eyes. Qt::escape(), a practical little helper function for escaping text, is placed in the Qt namespace but then in the QTextDocument header, as opposed to QtGlobal. Implicitly, a function that has nothing to do with GUI, is placed in QtGui, creating a dependency on a whole new library for only that function.

Same goes for QAbstractProxyModel. The item/view framework provides a nice separation between content and presentation, but by placing QAbstractProxyModel, a class that operates on the data level independently of display details (right?), in QtGui, one again prevents modularization.

The argument I've heard is that QtCore is supposed to stay small, but I wonder if such optimizations(can Qt::escape() and QAbstractProxyModel really be considered big?) are more worth than proper engineering.
