Issue 86

apaku uncovered another bug in the pipe() based IPC implemention. Of course, I had already foreshadowed it. For future reference, if you see a comment somewhere that says "should be enough length", it is not enough length.

Making the read buffer bigger would probably have fixed it, but instead I made the buffer even smaller and made the I/O handle message fragments instead. A nifty exercise is to reduce the 256 in the sysread call to 1 and see if everything still works in pretend mode. :)

Fixing menu-to-command mapping for all INDI devices. This is a quick fix for the problem. It was solved in KDE 4 branch using a completely different approach.

Make the outline for moving/resizing work with Qt4, which bothers to support XOR painting only when XRender is available. Given that outline should be mainly used with older systems, go for a DIY Xlib-based solution. Needs changes in decorations using it.

- Fixed a small memleak: use libhal_free_string_array(volumes) instead of free(volumes)
- USB floppy drives have media-detection enabled. Thus we can react on insertion of a floppy disk
- Fixed empty labels for floppy drives

fix the layout of the preview widget. Have fun watching videos in the file dialog :-)

I can't: 1) read 2) test stuff properly.

Fix #152791: we do want to return an empty string on known but not set CSS properties, just like KDE3 did (and which I missed)

Now all the bits like resource limiting are in place, switch over to properly using khtmlImLoad's scaling cache.

Also, remove the hacky scale-limiting within khtml proper, thus fixing #105087

Fix some issues with radial gradients in the canvas implementation:

- Use the larger of the two radii as the radius in the QGradient, and invert the positions of the color stops if the inner radius is larger than the outer one.
- Emulate support for an inner radius by adjusting the color stops.
- Make sure adjustPosition() never returns a value greater than 1.0.

Fix for:
* #152359: 'select folder' dialog doesn't load correctly values
* #152799: 'folder selection' dialog error while clicking

Ahhh, fixing the bugs you report, that rocks ;-)

Insert the dolphin catalog so the messages appear translated correctly when eg, embedded into konqueror

From "Jérémy Compostella":
A patch to fix the "New Feed/New SMS actions crash Kontact" seen on <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/kdepim/kde4bugs.">http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/kdepim/kde4bugs.</a>;

a bit tweaked by me so it will compile.

don't try to autoconnect iphones as this blocks amarok if the network connection is not available

A bit of work towards fixing crashes in the playlist when a track does not have a valid album (such as a shoutcast station that only has a genre). Does not really work though, even though it should. Am I missing something?

Fixed a crash with ASSERT when using V4L2-only devices (like uvc ones);

Re-enabled V4L2;

Removed permanently workarounds for broken drivers. It only prevented the bugs form being fixed in the proper place (kernel drivers);

Removed permanently the option to disable MMAP. It only prevented bugs from being fixed in the proper place (kernel drivers);

Config UI was changed to cope with the aforementioned changes.

Redone some indentation to comform to Kopete code conventions (use of TABs). If somebody edits this code please use TABs instead of spaces. If 8-spaced tabs are too big for you, just change the configuration of your text editor to better reflect your prefferences.

Basic layer for QT integration nearly complete

Prepare for supporting multiple tool docks per area
This has the nice side-effect of reducing flicker... I think because I don't keep recreating splitters

Hrm, I think next time I write something, I should make sure I've got the required feature list first, this refactoring was somewhat painful

Intial draft of a new AST for python support. This needs tons of work: visitor, cleanup of the arguments, maybe using union's where some members are mutually exclusive. And first and foremost: An implementation.

Implement a detail view for choosing what items to build. The list is not persisted yet, thats for later. Also dnd between project view and buildlist will come later.

I also added a combobox to choose between different detail views and a possibility to hide the detail part.

Whole tests can now be constructed. Each question is stored in a separate xml file and is aggregated by the test xml file. Next step is to enable loading/saving from file into an archive.

Add complete loading and saving of test descriptor files. Next will be loading/saving of question files and displaying the information in the UI.

digiKam from KDE3 branch : new text filter on status bar to filter current album contents based on item name, comments and tags strings.

New Recursive display of sub-albums and sub-tags, which can be selected by the user.

digiKam from trunk (KDE4): following Marcel tips by IRC, We use now a dedicaced Multithreaded Thumbnail Loader instance from digiKam core for all kipi-plugins we need thumb. We never use default KDE thumbnails loader with all kipi-plugins running under digiKam.

Why?: because KDE thumnails loader is slow, do not work properlly with JPEG and PNG, do not support RAW pictures, do not rotate properlly thumbs accordinly to Exif or Xmp metadata, etc...

It's perfect... To test it, start SendImages kipi-plugin for ex. and add new pictures to e-mail on the list.

Look how is render the pictures thumb on the left of open file dialog (Standard KDE + new preview widget).

This rocks! digiKam and kipi-plugins because more homogenous now.

add ability to delete objects from within javaScript

allow to show/hide the menubar

add a shell script that gathers all information about installed soundcards to turn them into entries for the hardwaredatabase

KioFuse is now multi-threaded, and KIO requests from FS threads are directed to the main thread. Connecting to slots in the main thread using Qt::QueuedConnection now works because we start the event loop in the main thread using KApplication::exec(). This required running fuse_loop_mt() in a worker thread.

allow moving on any part of the applet surface; it seems our widgets still work just fine with this which is pretty cool; in this case i like the event model for QGV =)

better composite interaction; mimics what i did in plasma yesterday

introduce per-side margins to layouts. you can still just call setMargin(qreal) if you wish, but now this is much more useful for, say, panels.

always forgot to do this: make them appear/disappear from the center rather than the top left corner; there are some really odd going away things right now, though

desktop containment configuration initial checkin, setting a background image is functional, but will change to use packages, slideshow also is functional

Change groupList() and name() to use the groupnames only, not the full path.
This is a first step towards hiding the separator used for nested groups in the ini backend. Full solution needs to wait for 4.1

Along the way add notes to the API's that can create groups that the forward slash "/" is not allowed as part of the group name.

Add tests for all the above.

Patch ok'ed on kde-core-devel.

effects page half-working (so others can hack, as I might not be able to finish), also some refactoring to reduce code duplication

TODO: range for color effect should be 0.0 to 1.0 for fade/tint effects (not -1.0 to 1.0), disable controls when they aren't useful, copy ColorEffects:Disabled defaults from kcolorscheme.cpp

Update the best-matches list with a timeout of 50 ms after the model has changed. This is not nice, because of slight flashing, but considering that items may be inserted one by one, we have no other choice.

GUI: "undo closed tab" feature, available in Edit/Undo (Ctrl+Z), and in Go/Closed Tabs/...
Initial feature by Eduardo Robles Elvira, refactorings and unit tests by me.

start of a trash applet, courtesy of Marco Martin

* better dialog layout
* don't leak the dialog
* show a preview of the image in the image requester
* we have a very nice window icon, why not show it? :)* set a dialog caption; when we will not be in string freeze, we could set a better one

New KDed module which watches the home folder for changes and updates the nepomuk repository accordingly. This includes:
- files and folders being moved
- files and folders being renamed
- files and folders being deleted

As it builds on top of inotify it only works on linux and fails for nfs and similar.

For now it is also restricted to the home folder. Once idea would be to add watches for files and folders that have metadata in the repository and no other.

I would appreciante help for BSD/Solaris/Windows support and ideas for a more general solution.

allow changing between the tabs by using a mouse wheel, approved by Robert.

Device Notifier Next Gen continued.
We now have a nice applet that does... nothing.

Improve new notifier...User can click on each hot plug item to open solid ui server...Let's go to improve design...

Switched over to a better display of found places. Now you can select more than one place when a datasource returns a list of places.

Configurations now written correctly. We can now work on actually displaying data in the applet!

Added the option to load a tittle (finally!) from ODF, next thing will be add style. And also some function for the Gui to add/change a title.

implemnted a shape properties docker which shows shape config widgets as discussed at the last Koffice Berlin Meeting

Far more work than expected, but finally have multible streams playing simultaneously with SMIL. Backend other than MPlayer and knpplayer are supposed to handle this within one instance. Only kxineplayer is ported to do this, ie. gst and xv are broken now. Also recording is broken, among other things ..

Set videoarea background to part's parent widget palette bg color, nicer with flash

Progress on CoverManager.. still needs a bit of work but its coming along.

Artists are listed, covers are fetched, but not nicely yet.

CoverFetcher has become a standalone class, pass it either a list of albums or a single album and tell it to start, then watch it go. It will probably become a singleton when I get time.

we have added the HWcontroler class, which detects the cd reader device using the Solid layer. Have fun!!!

Show album covers in collection tree. And lo and behold the wonders of code reuse, since the same collection tree drives all the services, covers are shown everywhere (and there was much rejoicing!). Only issue is that the tree does not register for notices about covers becomming ready from albums that dynamically load their covers, so they do not update atomatically. yet..."

Work on making albums appear grouped on startup.
* Compare albums by their name instead of their albumPointer
* Fix an error in xspfplaylist that would cause the creator not to be written to xspf files
* Fix errors in PlaylistHandler::loadXspf that would create empty tracks

Tracks still do not appear properly on startup however, something seems wonky with Meta::EditCapabilities but I can't chase that currently

begin working on overhaul of last.fm events applet with new layout. not anywhere near finished, but gotta commit so i can check it out at home tomorrow.

Will the madness ever end? Will I ever actually do something useful? Oh well... World, meet the new Amapche collection/service, Ampache service, meet the World.

There, now that introductions are in order, it might be worth noting that the Amapche API used is still in development (It was developed in parallel with this service by Amapche dev. vollmer) so don't expect this to work with your own Ampache setup just yet.

Implement album art fetching from the playlist. Works awesome.

Attempt to insert the new MessageLabel in the statusbar. Totally messed up thanks to our insanely complicated layouting system in the statusbar. You can see what happens if you retrieve a cover then save it.

Turn the Magnatune store into a plugin, and in the process, export a bunch of stuff that it needs. The plugin is currently not loaded, so the Magnatune store is currently MIA. The other sevices should be simple to convert, now that all the exports are in place.

Yet another episode of 'Pluginize that service'. This time, the lucky contestant is the mp3tunes service.

Make the ShoutcastService a plugin. seems I am all out of services for now. The scriptable service will not be made a plugin, as that one is... different....

- Addition of a class diagram in the documentation

- Deleting of HWcontroler.h/cpp. Remplaced by hwcontroler.h/cpp for respecting standards of programmation standard

- Change of the name of the class HWcontroler by HWControler

- Reorganization of the HWControler class.
- Addition of the AudioCD class
which inherits the class Solid::OpticalDisc.
- Addition of the CdReader class which inherits the class Solid::OpticalDrive.
- Addition of the Songs class which inherits the class Phonon::MediaSource.

AudioCD makes it possible to recognize a reader CD. CdReader makes it possible to recognize a reader CD.

Removed threaded fileview update patch and switched to an approach with QTimers

Enabled image parameters changes (brightness, saturation and so on) in V4L2 devices.

Initial Bittorrent-plugin based on libbtcore aka libktorrent. The directory is disabled...

add predefined xtraz statuses -- really helps for those who can't seem to understand the meaning of (ugly) icons see qip (<a href="http://qipim.com/en/">http://qipim.com/en/</a>;) for an example of well-designed icons.

Introducing the concept of synchronizers...

Terms:
model - a defined structure of some data working model - a model with methods (like the one in memory which you call in code) stream model - a model for the serialized data (like in a file)

Synchronizers should synchronize working models to other models, like stream models.
They are similar to e.g. export/import filters, but stay the whole time until the working model is closed. They care for everything, like if file/other model is changed, so the rest of the program does not need to deal with this. Separation of concerns, yeah :)

For synchronizers which synchronize with files in the filesystem there is the subclass KAbstractDocumentFileSystemSynchronizer, to care for the general work with (remote) files.

Other models to synchronize with may also be working models in remote processes/servers.
Like in a collaborative setting. More on this later, not yet included.

Give descriptive names to pages in wizard

Since we're in string freeze this will not show up until KDE4.1

Add of the game, maze and mazeview class.They are not completely implemented. The image folder will contain all the pictures for each kapman items.

Submit all completion-items computed in the background thread within one big batch. This reduces flickering in the completion-widget, and should save a significant amount of processing-time(repeated sorting, best-match computing, etc.)

Keep track of what has chanegd, so that we can optomise redrawing the GUI.
This gives us a large performance boost, allowing us to update every 2secs instead of every 1 second

Added an optimization proposed by swolchok in the SHA1 hash generation

Switch to QCA2 for SHA1 hash generation, much faster then our own solution

Make the rubberband looks much nicer and work faster

Thanks to Michael Lentner for contributing this

Put in some rudimentary DoS protection, which should also prevent integer overflow style scenarios.

Also fix a memleak in the gif decoder.

Merge the rework_svnplugin branch back to trunk. KDevPlatform now needs the rapidsvn C++ library if you want svn suppo

Start a Qt based version of kdevelop-pg

This is really a work branch now.
Start the rewrite of the table model and lesson model.
The table now contains all single line things, the other editing will use dock widgets.
Nothing works.
Both models are not editable yet.
Rewrite of the lesson part of the lib - now there is one root lesson containing the world.
Another time crash and burn...

INDI is now using libnova to perform any required astronomical calculations by the drivers. I removed the code from indicom that used to provide some basic calculations since it is not sufficient.

A C library was required. However, libnova is a soft dependency, meaning that INDI and KStars will fully compile and function without it. If it's not available in the system, only the features and/or drivers that depend on it will be disabled. Therefore, as with cfitsio, there is no hard dependency in this situation.

digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : Very important notice here : the list of B.K.O files not yet backported from KDE3 to KDE4.

Marcel, this very important to synchronize KDE3 and KDE4. At this moment, only one B.K.O file is not yet backported in KDE4, and i hope no other item will be added here in the future.

Arnd, In all case, i recommend you to copy & paste the B.K.O file title here, to be sure than nothing will be lost with KDE4 port. Thanks in advance.

Note : i have a private list in my Gmail account, but a public one is always better (:=)))

nicer painting of the bakground. we use the colour scheme from the theme for this, though now an svg. i want this to be a bit more of a standardized element and svg's don't deal overly well with having rounded corners bent to odd proportions =)

we do actually still want context menus on applets, even with the hover thing.

Filter out video4linux devices from this call that are not video sources. The 2nd call to hal is regrettable but unavoidable, since FindDeviceStringMatch only matches exact matches, so you can't query it for device paths containing 'video'.

Patch reviewed by Kévin Ottens.

Icons view: assure that the vertical spacing does not grow as fast as the horizontal spacing. For the default settings this means that the viewport can now be reached easier than before, while not wasting too much vertical space.

Careless widgets cost pixels! Only use a tab widget in a plugin config dialog when there are more than one KCModuleProxys to display.

Patch approved by aseigo and ereslibre.

I hate the idiotic useless qt-bugs@ blackhole.

Remove all code for non-composited animations - they don't work anyway.

Use SmoothTransformation for wallpaper transformation. This way scaled wallpapers look _way_ better.

Fill the background of the terminal display area behind the scroll-bar using the background color from the scroll-bar's palette.

This gives the illusion of the scroll bar being outside the contents area as per other KDE applications and is required for a better looking scrollbar with the Oxygen widget style.

- Prevent the dashboard view from being shown more than once every two seconds. This prevents a horrible flickering mess from occuring if you hold down ctrl-f12 and let auto repeat take control.

Ideally we would simply ignore keypresses from autorepeat but the shortcut handling does not seem to make that bit of QKeyEvent available to us.

* Remove SVG theme, including config options and what not, this make it a lot smaller in memory and code wise.
* Make default size in the panel a bit smaller, assumed aspect ratio and stuff.

There's one FIXME left, I'd like to save the color of the clock to the config file, but writeConfig() apparently doesn't like a QColor. What would be the correct way to accomplish this?

put back support for the "DocPath" key.
thanks to Burkhard for keeping an eye on me.

so, basically we are back to where we started with all my DocPath changes.
oh well. time wasted

Kickoff now uses the KFilePlacesModel for its system view.
I introduced a proxy model to make it fit in kickoff views, and also cleaned up some part of the code (like the device registration system).

completely change how we save and load containments and panels.
it all happens from one file now using nested groups. this has two major effects:

- one file to rule them all for any given corona; this makes things even nicer for use in other apps, btw.
- the ability to easily save, send/share and restore corona configuration layouts; something i've wanted from the start

First idea of an xml-based format for storing distribution lists in Akonadi.

Tagging Kile 2.0.

sqlite2 is no longer supported by Kexi. Use Kexi 1.x to migrate to sqlite3 if you need.

Moving Kile back to trunk/extragear/office and preparing it for the porting to KDE4.

Start work on creating 2 statusbars. One below the context view for general information, and another under the playlist for playlist-centric information.

Amarok WILL NOT compile. I am making incomplete commits in order to preserve SVN history.

Import statusbar message label from Dolphin, and adapt to Amarok statusbars.

Turn off the splash screen by default:
* KGet starts up really fast.
* It's reported as beeing confusing when it just flickers up for a _very_ short time.
* It's not usual for a 'normal' KDE application to show a splash screen.

Discussed on #kget

A bunch of margin fixes and context-dependent widget hiding to make account editing UI fit on a 1024x768 screen

Remove connectionstatus as agreed on list

Create a branch for the kopete folks working on student projects in toulouse so that they have a sandbox for their work that's not trunk.

Switched to Qt's model view architecture for the main torrent views

Goya added to playground

Branch for working on KGpg2

This will include support for Model-View and other stuff.

Please see README file (coming soon) before actually committing anything here.
