Issue 33

19th November 2006 by Danny Allen

This Week...

KTorrent supports the creation of trackerless torrents, with work beginning on a web-based management GUI. Support for browsing the SHOUTcast webradio listings in Amarok. Work starts on a new Planner Summary plugin for Kontact. KDissert is renamed Semantik. Maps of more countries added to KGeography. Version 2 of Kallery, a web image gallery creator, is imported into KDE SVN. Qt3 and KDE 3 Java bindings are removed from KDE SVN, superceded by the developments of Qt Jambi.
The defining issue of the week concerns the migration of the Okular application from its playground/graphics/ developmental home back into the kdegraphics/ module, which is currently occupied by KPDF (from which Okular spawned) and the recently renamed Ligature in KDE 3.5.

As a matter of course, Pino Toscano, a key Okular developer, wrote a standard request/notification of the move to the kde-core-devel mailing list. However, it was not to be a simple and uncontested proposition, as the 80-message long thread of replies surely indicates.
Wilfried Huss, the lead developer of Ligature, replies:
So what would this mean for Ligature (formally known as Kviewshell)?
If I remember correctly there has been made a decision, that no applications that are duplicating functionality will be allowed in the core modules. And we are definitely not interested in moving Ligature to Extragear.
Albert Astals Cid, another key Okular developer, questions this assertion:
I don't remember such strong decision although i agree some people have expressed this opinion, but for me, in a world where not all solutions are perfect, i prefer to have two quite good solutions so that in case one fails maybe the other works.
I'll allow Aaron Seigo the role of diplomatic mediator:
from a user's POV, it seems that ligature is very much like kpdf 3.5 and okular is very much like an improved version of kpdf. the feature overlap is pretty much 100%, with okular having a superset of them.

both improve on kpdf with things like a "real" text selection tool, overview and facing page layouts, support for multiple file formats, etc ...

ligature has a few nice little advantages: the "read page" nav feature is nice as its scrolling sidebar thumbnails.

okular has a well integrated inline search, has additional configurability for DRM bits and memory usage (to name a few), supports more file formats (numerically and in terms of common desktop relevance), supports reviews (and apparently annotations and what not, as seen at akademy though my build from svn doesn't have those features?), has a "download books from the internet" feature using ghns that simply rocks and has a handful of new UI features ... the UI does need more polishing, but that's not surprising given its in-high-development state.

ligature supports G3 fax and djvu files which okular doesn't, but then okular supports ODT and a number of other interesting formats. if you do a lot of djvu or fax viewing ligature may be more useful. i find okular's format selection more relevant to my usage, but ymmv.

after having used both, i have to say that it would be rather odd to provide both apps by default on a desktop installation due to function overlap.

i can see the following options:
  1. the two teams agree to work on one codebase
  2. do the same thing we did with cd burners and put them all into KEG and let user demand sort it out
  3. have the release maintenance team pick one for inclusion with kde4's default set of applications and move the other into KEG
  4. leave them both where they are because we can't decide and look a bit foolish all over again for having obvious duplication in apps
it seems the first one is an outside chance; the last option would be a shame. the second option is the easy decision though perhaps the third option is better for our users.

i agree with Allen that this is a "nice" job for the new TWG.
This specific issue reopens many historic 'oversights' attributed to KDE, including the infamous 'duplication of functionality across similar applications', and the 'defined scope of the desktop'.

The proposal and formation more than a year ago of a set of 'working groups' within the organisation of KDE to make decisions such as these reflects the growing maturity of the project - the strength of the Technical Working Group (TWG) should ensure that a difficult (but very much correct) decision is made for the future diverse userbase of the KDE 4 desktop.

KDE Base

Alexander Neundorf committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5/kdelibs/kio/kio/kfileitem.cpp:

fix #15876: if a file name contains a newline, the newline was displayed in the status bar, which m

with this patch all newlines are replaced with a space in the status bar info, so
this doesn't happen anymore. Maybe it could also be replaced by "
" or "\n" or ...

Maybe this could even be moved to KStringHandler cPixelSqueeze ?
Does this still exist in KDE4 or has it been replaced by some Qt function ?

Maks Orlovich committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5/kdelibs/kjs:

Fix Unicode support in RegExp handling, and also be more robust vs. embedded nulls.

Fixes problems with some cyrillic characters in gmail (#116512)

Makes google calendar somewhat work, though not fully (part #135445)

Also fixes #135246, #101398

KDE-PIM

Tom Albers committed changes in /trunk/playground/pim/mailody/src:

Explicitly delete all message when user chooses to resync a mailbox. This prevents old messages staying alive when the server reuses the same uids. Also caught a crash because the threadTo map did not remove deleted messages, so on a resync it would want to assign an item to a parent which was deleted because of the sync.

Thomas Braun committed changes in /trunk/extragear/office/kile/kile/kileedit.cpp:

Fix bug where environments were completed which should not have been completed.
Remove selected text in any case if the user insert "

Multimedia

Michael Pyne committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5/kdemultimedia/juk/jukservicemenu.desktop:

Fix the broken "Add to JuK Collection" service menu action for KDE 3.5.

I'm not sure that it ever worked since it's calling a function in the Player interface that doesn't exist, and to my knowledge never existed. In the process I changed it to pass all files to the dcop command line instead of calling dcop one by one for each file.

Seb Ruiz committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/playlist.cpp:

* Don't remove tracks from the playlist when reducing the upcoming count of the current dynamic mode
* Only append tracks to the playlist if the playlist track count is greater than dynamic mode upcoming count

Seb Ruiz committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/enginecontroller.cpp:

Forbid pausing the engine when using lastfm. Now pause can't be issued from dcop or shortcuts.

Barth Netterfield committed changes in /trunk/extragear/graphics/kst/src:

Two unrelated updates:

1) get rid of vertical allignment fields for viewlabels, since they don't make any sense for auto sized label boxes. Note: horizontal alignment selection widgets are still there, but they don't work, as the label renderer doesn't know how to deal with it.

2) add a plot draw tool. The keyboard accelerator is temporarily set to '2'.

Pino Toscano committed changes in /trunk/playground/graphics/okular:

Almost complete support for inverse search within okular.
The system generally works; what is missing is a good activating strategy (added in TODO - our usability expert is working on that), and a GUI to configure the editor.

The DVI backend was adapted to use this new feature. (The PDF backend will use it soon.)

Unfortunately, I have no source file for the pdfsync files I have, so maybe there could be some problems.

Feedback is welcome.

Multimedia

Seb Ruiz committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/dynamicmode.cpp:

Some progress for suggested dynamic mode. When creating the cache, we retrieve similar artists to the currently playing song, and find some songs. Then, we take some of those similarities and find their similar artists.

TODO: create a cache or similar artists

I can't really test this because i'm on the laptop with not much music, and hence not many similar artists :)

Mark Kretschmann committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src:

Put the "Add Playlist" and "Add Playlist (import)" menu items in their own submenu. This way we 1) Make the menu shorter 2) Can have more meaningful item texts.

Andy Kelk committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok:

When checking for duplicate items on a Rio Karma, use the track number in addition to artist, album & title. We also turn off libkarma's duplicate-checking as it would not let these files through (and we are confident in our own duplicate checks).

Seb Ruiz committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src:

Remove playlist and smart playlist context menu entries for adding and removing them to the existing dynamic playlist. i felt it was unintuitive, and duplicated a lot of work.

The dynamic playlist should be editable in one way, and that is by clicking on the "edit" button.

That's right. 1754 test cases fixed in one commit. 12%. New record for me.

I introduced one regression: DerivedInteger.h generates a warning, see 341. I'll work on derived string types now. Should be less work for that.

- Spread out download hash check over time as the pieces come in, this will limit CPU peaks when a big chunk is finished downloading
- Made SHA1 generator a bit more efficient, by avoiding a memory allocation and a copy of the input data

Thiago Macieira committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdecore/kautosavefile.h:

Add the header for KAutoSaveFile, whose purpose is to replace KApplication::tempSaveName() and KApplication::checkRecoverFile() with something more powerful that allows you to:
1) work with URLs, not files
2) work with the same resource in more than one application at a time
3) check for stale autosaves and active ones
4) allow the application to find all autosaves it left behind

This is just the .h. I'm not writing the .cpp. We're going to try a new thing: I'm blogging about this and we'll see if we can get a new developer to adventure into kdecore. I'll coach him with the code.

KDE-PIM

Allen Winter committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdepimlibs/kmime:

clean-up and doxygenation.

also includes an important change whereby the RFC2822 format is now treated nicely as a FormatType, rather than some cousin the family never talks about.

Really, I gotta believe this stuff belongs in our new KDateTime class which already has methods for creating date strings in RFC2822 and ISO8601.

Boudewijn Rempt committed changes in /trunk/koffice:

Create one single flake (and other stuff) plugin loader that doesn't use kparts and loades the current crop of flake plugins.

This means we no longer sneakily add the tool plugin while the shape is loaded or vice versa. It's up to Jan to make the shapes into one plugin: I will go through the Krita tools and pigment colorspaces to de-kpart them.

Thomas Zander committed changes in /trunk/koffice/libs:

Finish migration to have one plugin loader for flake plugins.

Each plugin will have a KService factory only one time and it can now choose from being a Shape-only plugin, a Tool-only plugin or to be a plugin of type "KOffice/Flake" which can contain both types.

This solves the weirdness that if you had both a shape and a tool you had to choose one and do some magic in the constructor to have the other type known as well.

In contrary to MsWord KWord will (still) not show linespacing at the top of a page. Being typographically correct as well as complient with lots of DTP apps is more important then being backwards compatible with one dominating app.

There are two ways the user can force a line-margin at the top of the page
1) by using a style that has both a topMargin and the option "Page break before"
2) manually setting a spacing on the paragraph instead of on the style.

Make akode-engine compile, despite Untouchable's delusions :)

Seb Ruiz committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src:

Refactor of dynamic mode. This revised implementation solves a number of bugs. The logic of adding tracks from a dynamic mode is now delegated to the DynamicMode object, and is not done within the playlist. When a dynamic mode is loaded, a cache of 200 elements is create from the playlist sources.

By caching a subset of the possible tracks to be inserted, there is no longer a requirement to execute complex SQL statements on each track change or playlist repopulation. Additionally, by grabbing random tracks from this cache, items are no longer fetched from just one source, but all of them.

Once these cached tracks have been inserted into the playlist, they are removed from the cache list in order to avoid duplicating song insertions. Once the cache has been depleted, it is simply regenerated. 200 elements is approximately 12 hours worth of music, so the set should be sufficiently large to handle the user's requirements.

I've done quite a bit of regression testing, but the more the merrier :). The only feature which needs to be fixed is the Suggested mode of dynamic playlists, but this should be easily rectifiable.
