Issue 103

* Fixed some polar functions issues and improved FunctionTest.
* Fixed lambda issue.
* New example feature for the dictionary.

Fixed usage of stream.atEnd() in various places, it doesn't work for files in /proc (as per QFile docs).

Fixes interrupts, io-ports, scsi, sound, dma channels and devices not working on linux.

Kinfocenter is back to its former qt3 glory.

backport bugfixes from /trunk, mostly to make it work with Qt 4.4

Limit tab names to a maximum of 20 characters to prevent one or two tabs from taking up the entire width of the tab bar and requiring the user to scroll to see more.

Longer tab titles are trimmed to the right-most 20 characters with an elide inserted at the front.

The fact that text/html derives from text/plain brought back a bug that I fixed in 2002:
"embed katepart and then type a website URL -> loaded into katepart".

The test for mimetype inheritance in changeViewMode came from bug #108542, but that was wrong [the current mimetype shouldn't matter, only what the view supports, otherwise viewing a text/plain file or a C++ file in katepart changes what happens when opening a text/html file later on].

... and in kde4 it should be different anyway with dolphinpart handling all main viewmodes.

I think I finally got the Wikipedia engine sorted out.

The issue is that when searching with the (band) postfix, wikipedia does not always return a result. In that case the postfix should be removed and the engine should try again, this was not happening however.

Command line functionality to KTurtle, code by Aleix Pol.

This adds an interactive command line mode for testing TurtleScript commands.

Initial version of the new Kalzium plasmoid

Again many changes.
The applet is now showing the letter "B".

That is not exactly spectacular but the letter is the Symbol of the 4th element and is loaded from the XML.

That proves that this somehow works now :-)

This is probably the most ugly Plasmoid on earth, but it works.

another unatomic commit... (surviving without always on wireless broadband luxury)

* editor is disabled during a run, but scrollbar should still be usable
* make error list more sensible
* highlight first error by default
* remove root element and heading from tree inspector
* remove numbering of the variable and function inspectors
* heading of tables now align left
* column sizes more same
* direction chooser fixes, generally more usability
* direction chooser canvas pimping + disabling of previous direction when 'direction' command selected

hope you like it -- especially have a look at the pimped 'direction chooser'.

First attempt for a Settings dialog in Marble (just looks nice, doesn't do anything yet).

Adding the first version of the new applet: Did you Know

Ok, it works.
The getFact() stuff needs a real lib in libkdeedu which I could also use in Kalzium.

I always wanted to have a way to generate a quiz, that lib could be used there as well.

Create a dock widget for synonyms. No functionality there yet.

Allow to add synonyms in the gui.

digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : add thumbbar behind preview area from AlbumGUI when preview mode is used (F3).

Icon view filter available to status bar and TagFilters still suitable to change thumbbar contents in live.

Thumbbar items can display Rating of pictures. More information about thumbbar items are available using pop-up tool tips is you enable this option in config dialog.

A fresh screenshot is available at these url:

- with Digikasa color theme : <a href="/issues/2008-03-23/files/thumbbar4albumgui.png">http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/thumbbar4albumgui.png</a>;
- with Desert color theme : <a href="/issues/2008-03-23/files/thumbbarwithpreviewmode.png">http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/thumbbarwithpreviewmode.png</a>;

introduce HumanBody a plugin to display a wireframe human body as a decorator, currently only the decorator is available

introduce a tool to edit the body

Started to implement Nepomuk support.

digiKam from trunk : media-player view now use KDE4::Phonon API to render preview of Video and Audio files.

Add the beginnings of a generic folder view applet.

Added the "Nepomuk Social Query Daemon" + Client.

A very fancy name for a very simple thing: it allows to query the nepomuk store of everyone (!) in the local network running the nsqd. The services are discovered using KDNSSD.

While this is not really an end-product since it lacks security features it shows what is possible with the Soprano/Nepomuk framework.

Support for undo closed windows (see <a href="http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=120570110719593&w=2">http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=120570110719593&w=2</a>; for details)

Added the possibility to draw a disabled rating.

The KRatingWidget uses this automatically to draw itself in a disabled state.

If the terminal application is not interested in mouse events and the display's scroll bar is not movable then send Up/Down key press events to the terminal instead.

This makes it possible to scroll up and down in 'less' and other applications using the mouse wheel. One key press is sent for every 5 degrees of mouse wheel rotation. Typical mouse wheels operate in steps of 15 degrees which equals 3 lines scrolled per notch. This default is the same as Vim's default mouse wheel scroll step.

As in gnome-terminal and others, this has side effects such as the mouse wheel scrolling through history results in the shell if the shell is run in a program such as screen.

added support for downloading plasma themes from kde-look.org, note that a few untar to the wrong place (need a subfolder in the tarball)

Add support for rubber band selections.

Add support for setting background and foreground colors of a session's displays using the Xterm Operating System Controls escape sequences.

See the "Operating System Controls" section on this page:
<a href="http://rtfm.etla.org/xterm/ctlseq.html">http://rtfm.etla.org/xterm/ctlseq.html</a>;

Other colors and multiple color sequences are not supported.

xtermcontrol --fg=<color> --bg=<color> now work as expected.

In addition to standard color names ("green","blue","red") etc, Qt also accepts SVG color names:

<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#ColorKeywords">http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#ColorKeywords</a>;

Display a warning message in the terminal in red if starting the session fails because the binary does not exist or if the shell crashes or exits with a non-zero status code.

In these cases, also prevent the tab from being closed automatically.

If the binary for the session cannot be found, display a warning and try to fall back to $SHELL or as a last attempt, /bin/sh.

This should mean that users should always be given a semi-functional basic environment if their profiles get messed up, the shell program gets uninstalled etc.

Bring back XMMS support. Players are now shared pointers, so we don't delete players before we're finished with them.

CSS 3 - Media Queries

cf. <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/">http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/</a>;

This is a full implementation supporting all media features, for both visual and paged media types we support.

It is based on the partial implementation found in WebCore.
With some refactoring work, fixes, and implementation of the missing bits.

This module allows web content writers to query the capabilities of the client's output device (be it a screen, a printer, etc.) and automatically select CSS styles that are best suited to it.

Start to re-add load konsole profiles as plasmoid

Finally the nepomuk server supports a backend change. So from now on if a user updates soprano and suddenly has the sesame2 backend (which now uses RPATH and should thus, be easier to set up) the NepomukServer will pick that up and convert the old data using a KJob (so it should show up in the UI server, right?)

Two new things. One pretty major.

1. (not the major one) Added a massupdate job which handles updates of tags in an async KJob

The same job will soon be used in Dolphin to not block the GUI while rating or commenting a large number of files. The plan is to at some point make this class public API.

2. (the pretty major thing) Nepomuk::MainModel is a new class (not yet in the public API but I am thinking about it) that connects to the nepomuk server transparently.

Thus, while previously one would have to create a Soprano::Client::DBusClient and call createModel (if one did not want to use the ResourceManager) one can now simply create a MainModel.

But the major thing is that MainModel does not use DBus for communication anymore but the local socket connection which is much faster. D-Bus is only used for signal relaying and as a fallback.

Thank you, Trolltech, for QLocalServer and QLocalSocket which made this possible (previously this did only work on linux).

This is the first step towards a better looking and more usable metadata GUI.
- A nicer comment widget shows a popup to edit the comment.
- A tag cloud replaces the ugly tagwidget from libnepomuk.

The plan is to use Dolphin as a testbed to optimize the look and then move at least the tagcloud to libnepomuk to make it available for all apps since this is a common feature.

So please test it and provide feedback. The layout is still cluttered. So we also need feedback on that. And of course on the usability.

Apart from the GUI Dolphin now uses the mass metadata update job to perform metadata updates on many files in an async KJob without blocking the GUI.

This is another candidate for public API at some point.

always behave like a button in the panel, just like icons.

make me wonder if Plasma::Icon shouldn't be FormFactor aware itself?

Added KProtocolManager::protocolForArchiveMimetype(), to be able to handle archive-kioslaves generically in dolphin and konqueror; as discussed with Urs Wolfer.

Improve the right-to-left/BiDi support of katePart:
The direction of each line is detected automatically, by the count of LTR/RTL chars in that string, and RTL lines will be automatically alligned to the right.

This patch is a work in progress, and I still need to fix some things:
* cursor movement in RTL paragraphs is still wrong
* when resizsing the window RTL paragraphs are not re-aligned, I think an internal redraw is needed.
* let the user specify the direction of the line manually, since this algorithm will fail some times.
* when LRM, RLE and all those chars are in the beginning of the line - obey that direction, and ignore all others.
* make a visual hint (like tabs or spaces?) for special invisible BiDi chars.
* this works pretty good in kwrite, but in kate it behaves funny, need to test this much more.
* more testing :)

Add support for displaying session number in tab titles using a '%#' marker or via "Insert -> Session number" in the profile editor.

Reduce the difference between noborder requested by the application and set by the user - they're now interchangeable.

Which means that Alt+F3/Advanced/No border can put the window decoration back on the KRunner window regardless of what Plasma or any other app thinks.

Start of a tray application for Akonadi!

Listen to changes on the DBus, adjust the menu items accordingly and show a passive popup when the server is started or has been stopped.

Lots of changes here
* Made a single library, as its unlikely that any of backend/* will be used outside the plugin
* Added much more scripting ablilty (and more to come)
* Moved all scripting related clases to backend/renderer/scripting
* Started creating classes to allow scripting of sections and objects
* Added an on_render event for rendering sections, though the way this is stored in the report is likely to change

For a sample on how to script, have a look at <a href="/issues/2008-03-23/files/Simple_Database2.kexi">http://www.piggz.co.uk/Simple_Database2.kexi</a>; in the rptRainfall report, just double click on the 'detail' header to open the script editor.

* up the requirement to the upcoming OpenCTL 0.9.2
* add a pigment ctl module with some "utils" functions
* add a decent default function to convert to QImage
* add the start of a CTL based XYZ32F
* make Color Conversion Transformation Factory aware that they can be limited to working with a specific profile
* fix rgb hdr color space conversion, alpha shall not be pseudo-gamma corrected
(* the perspective grid tool was ported, remove the message)

start of keeping ExpenseTable and ExpenseProperties synchronized.

Maybe MVC is a better idea?

rewrote expense table to use MVC and wrote an expenses model

added a preferences window. loading/saving of files works

Y.A.A. (Yet Another Algorithm...)

This new algorithm removes completely remove the mixture approach used since now.

Now, I build the absorption and scattering spectrum "from scratch", using mathematical minimization. The coefficient are previously found, and then used here. No fancy mathematics in C++ then :)

The illuminant profile format has changed, I'm preserving the old format in a separate dir.

To avoid crashes, you should remove your share/apps/krita/illuminants directory before make install.

Enjoy!

PS: Even if you can see some mixing result using the alpha transparency, this is not supposed to work and will *not* work for every color.

To have correct mixtures with this colorspace, you've to wait the painterly paintop.

use the new phonon api for subtitle and audio track selection

the only remaining Xine dependency is the DVD menu button

Make adding, removing and changing services work without restarting Amarok.

Currently implemented as a brute force approach that clears all services and starts over, but this has the advantage of handling all corner cases, such as adding or removing services based on the config of one ( multiple ampache services,... )

Add a currentTrackAction to all Magnatune tracks to allow purchasing/downloading ( depending on membership status ) of the album containing the track. One click downloading from the tray menu is actually pretty damn cool! :-)

Initial work on making some services ( the sql based ones ) act as track providers.
It works but there are a few issues that needs to be sorted out stil...

Mainly, it obviously does not work when the service that knows about a given url has not been loaded.

Also, why on earth, when loading a playlist, do we pass the url of the playlist itself, and not the ulrs of the tracks in contains, to trackForUrl!!??

Services can now be loaded on the fly, even if they are not configured to be loaded, if we think they might be usefull for providing info about a url.

Since the plugin factories now act as proxies to the actual service collections, there is no need to manually add these as track providers any more.

This feature might call for a config option as people might be annoyed at services being loaded even when they have explicitly disabled them in the config.

Make advanced queries ( artist:"Brad Sucks" ) work again

Add full "Group by" support to Magnatune. Still a few bugs and crashes left in for good meassure.

I also should really factor this stuff out to make it usable for other services, but I wanted to get the basics working first!

factor out some stuff and add full "group by" support to Jamendo, between this and advanced filtering, Jamendo is actually becoming usable!!

Add an action to all Magnatune tracks to show the artist of the currently playing track in the Magnatune service.

This builds on top of all the other little details I have hacked into submission during today ( grouping in the services, advanced filtering... )

Other services will get a simmilar treatment, and this should be really simple to do now that the basics are in place.

First of all, yes, unfortunately this commit destroys quite a bit of history in the scriptable service directory, but as nothing in there has really been useful up to this point ( I wrote it all, so I think I am a good authority on that ), I dont think this is a major loss...

So, what does this huge commit actually do?

1. Add a redesigned scriptable service with a sane DBus API consisting of only 3 functions. Make amount of levels configurable and make everything completely dynamic
2. Make the service scripts use the same callback method as regular scripts
3. Integrate scriptable services with the service manager, making it possible to run and stop service scripts from there
4. Add a new service category to the scriptmanager
5. Add ( recreate ) a simple cool streams service script. This one works really nicely
6. Add a deme file browser script. This one is mainly for testing the scriptable services and currently contains some hardcoded paths, so it should not be included in a release ( it is also basically useless, but I had to have something to test agains when I had no internet )
7. Fix a ton of bugs and crashes in the new scriptable service.

All in all, not bad for a few days in a small wodden cabin with a girlfriend who is busy studying for an examn... :-)

And to all the people I have been telling that there would be no scriptable service in 2.0, sorry, but I changed my mind!

Add non-intrusive notification system
* Service messages (e.g. authorization requests) are queued so user won't be bothered with unimportant messages.
* User can view the service messages in Kopete main window.
* A green flag in status bar or optionally KNotification will inform the user about new service messages.

New classes:
AddedInfoEvent - event which should be created when a contact added you into the contact list or requested authorization.
InfoEventManager - contains all info event objects
InfoEvent - base class for all info events
InfoEventWidget - widget for Kopete main window

Initial implementation of a remote desktops dock widget. This widget allows quick access to bookmarks, recent connected desktops and zeroconf deteced remote services.

Work in progress, hidden by default.Also fix a problem with showing / hiding the zeroconf tab in some cases.

Various improvements and fixes:
* greatly optimize full screen toolbar: only create bitmaps and update actions when toolbar is visible.
* fix problems when zeroconf tab was visible (and not the first or second tab)
* minor code style changes

* Starting Yakuake a second time now toggles the window state, making it possible to open and retract Yakuake from a panel button or similar. Improves consistency with the main window activation mechanic of other single-instance KDE applications, and provides an easier way to get at the application UI than the D-Bus interface in case of a hotkey screwup.

* Disabled standard startup notifications ("Launch Feedback" for Yakuake).

* Improve errors management
* Rewrite and simplify most part of KCron
* Add right action buttons list for a easier action access
* Improve command line parsing, to avoid the saving of good command line
* Reimplement and rewrite the TaskEditorDialog, by allowing a minute per minute selecting, and a smarter displaying.
* Able to add multi-lines comments on variables and tasks
* Clean API
* All known bugs are now closed, KCron seems to be ready for KDE 4.1

It just needs a icon from KDE Artist team

Lots of changes all over the place, including:
- Internal terminology is now more consistent.
- Ruleset keys are more consistent.
- Ruleset selector has been much improved.
- Work around to get keyboard navigation working.

KDiamond documentation. (Did not work last time do to unexpected behavior of the kdesvn client.)

* All items on TODO list have been addressed.
* Optimized constructors.
* Introducing RendererPrivate class (replacing global vars in Renderer implementation code).
* Make size of border independent of diamond count.

Added support for custom themes.

Usability improvements:
* command line options to adjust scene width/height
* advanced mouse wheel commands: shift+wheel = horizontal panning, ctrl+wheel = zooming* visual scene boundary (very temporary graphical design; it's just there to have an indication)

share the background painter between items.
prevents lots of look ups on disk that are just needless and a lot of overhead for the svg objects.

however, i don't have a svg theme with such a background to test it.

jamboarder, can you test it with your theme? thx.

Improve painting speed by adding a timer => this will need to be configurable so a user could say what interval he/she would want for updating.

TODO: check the way of getting the index where an action was performed

Keeping a QTimer around rather than using QTimer::singleShot() is more efficient, gives 1295->1320fps improvement with glxgears.

Performance boost for previews that are already available in the cache: apply the previews in larger blocks instead of applying them immediately after getting the signal 'gotPreview' from the PreviewJob.

Now the previews in Konqueror and Dolphin are as fast as in the good old KDE 3 days :-)

Speed up the Jamendo and Magnatune trackForUrl by a factor ~20

A bunch of optimizations. This sort of breaks the nice clean and very symmetric way of querying ( at least a little bit ) but it speeds up Jamendo by a huge amount ( actually makes the service usable ) and Magnatune gets even faster

There's no autotools support in Kdevelop4 currently, so don't pretend we can import projects of that type.

Fixes import for custom makefile projects.

First step to port kicker session menu to plasmoid

Remove the mean mass.

There is no other application/website/book I know showing this dataset so I think removing it makes sense.

Adding a subdirectory 'applet' to prepare for more plasmoids to come

Committing new splash screen from Nuno Pinheiro... thanks Nuno!

add a Ruby script which extracts the KLettres data from KDE svn and tars it per language.

Might be useful for distributions to ackage additional data.
Is also useful to synch l10n and KNS repository.

(reviewed, Windows only)

As discussed before in the thread [1], there are problems with running KUniqueApplications on Windows because previous dbus service has not been unregistered, resulting in "KUniqueApplication: Can't setup D-Bus service. Probably already running." and forced app quit.

Now e.g. KMail runs just fine every time I executed it, what was not the case before (when we needed to kill klauncher and/org dbus-daemon - rather not an option for end users we're starting to demo KDE apps on Windows to :)).

There are sane arguments that certain fixes should be performed at the dbus level, but for now we have another month after the initial discussion and there is nothing better that this KDElibs-level fix.

Thus, this change as temporary.

Begin the breaking up of solidshell into specialized components so that it can be portable.

Right now solid-hardware is not built; if you want the functionality of solidshell, use solid-[powermanagement,bluetooth,network] as they currently are exactly what solidshell used to be.

Revert David Bettio's avoid to show timezone when using local timezone.

Some use cases have been ignored. If something like this is to go in, we'll need solutions for those first. (Especially thinking of multiple clocks where "Local Timezone" is actually useful and needed information.

Please use review board for anything non-trivial, especially changes in the UI of a default Plasmoids. And please also be responsive afterwards :)

solid-hardware now builds and works properly... no platform dependencies remain

reimporting back SvgPanelTest, it turns out it's quite handy for theme designers

Add systemcommand plasma applet.

Added a quickstart for KConfig/KSharedConfig based on the techbase howto. IMHO it is important to have the standard usage in here as it is the first place one looks as a reference.

And I personally keep forgetting how to use KConfig since I normally only do it once per project.

Port konq profile to plasmoid (based on kate session applet)

QListView does not support having a margin for grids.

Originally it has been tried to bypass this by overwriting QListView::visualRect(), but this has some side effects (see #155378 and #155575). The clean approach is to return a proper size hint in the file item delegate.

Currently a custom item delegate has been made for Dolphin, but we'll discuss whether it makes sense providing this feature already in KFileItemDelegate...

and also the youtube miniature thingy because my daughter says so

Add initial and very-very early version of something that is going to become an engine and an applet for displaying knotify popups with plasma

Currently you can expect nothing from it functionality wise and visualisation wise :)

So enjoy ;)

The purpose of this is sharing file-management shortcuts (KFilePlacesModel) with other desktops. See: <a href="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec">http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec</a>" target="_blank">http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec">http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec</a>;

KBookmark:
* stores the icon-name in metadata (owner="http://freedesktop.org") instead of as an attribute of the bookmark tag. This seems more conforming to XBEL.
* migration code for bookmark files where the icon is stored in the old place.
* store and retrieve the mime-type of bookmark items (according to the desktop-bookmark-spec): new methods KBookmark::setMimeType() and KBookmark::mimeType())
* use mime-type to pick the right icon (if no icon is specified).
* new public method to access metadata by owner: KBookmark::metaData()
* add xmlns: declarations when creating a new bookmarks document

KBookmarkManager:
* Introduces a new KBookmarkManager type: "external". In this mode KBookmarkManager uses KDirWatch for change monitoring (rather than DBus).

Add initial Quicklaunch-Applet :)

Ok, finding this stupid error took me a whole day again!

apparently one has to create one world instance for each storage created. Now why is that not stated in the documentation? Who knows. Anyway, now using multiple redland models all over the place works! :)

Why did I not catch this before? Well, all tests worked. This only happened when, in nepomuk, I created a bunch of memory models.

No idea why there were never any problems with the unit tests.

Discussion with Celeste Paul convinced me that this is not a good gui at all.

So I'm removing it before someone actually uses it.

It will be replaced with model that can be plugged into listbox or combobox.

Renaming applet to "notify".
Old name "notifier" clashed with Device Notifier that has the same applet name.

If someone has cool-name-ideas, ping me, mail me, send me a snail mail :)
(Btw, "notify" is a nice name too :P)

KAgenda goes to playground.

Welcome libakonadi-kde to kdepimlibs!

Remove decibel in playground. It is in kdereview now.

D-Bus interface "skeleton" for akonaditray.

Need to figure out the auto-generation of the .xml file and probably move around and rename some stuff.

It's a start.

don't put insult in a cmakelists.txt file

All sorts of interesting code, hacks and voodoo spells to make Amarok adapt to changes in color themes without the need for a restart.

There are a few items ( such as the volume slider ) which are not updated correctly just yet, but most items are. Also a few fixes to make the sidebar svg's look better on dark themes

Update the playlist item text elements to use the correct background color when changing color themes.

This goes a long way to help us avoid such small inconviniences as black text on a black background...

Initial SVN import of musicbrainz lib

Clean up a few loose ends and rename testapp to brainzscanner

Work on making the osd widget both obey the color scheme and look prettier.

This poor baby still has a good ways to go.

Removed the Amarok engine system.

We've been good together, but it's time to part.
Please don't call.

Commit changes to menu structure discussed on the ML +code cleanups to previous changes.

Yes Menu goes from Amarok -> Playback for now.

Commit work on animating the progress slider.

This is pretty cool! It's still a bit wild, as theres some double->integer conversion in a few places that makes things jump around... gotta figure out how to smooth that out.

Also weird things happen when pausing and stopping, but that happens all over amarok, not just in the slider... so I'm not sure if It's related to these changes or not.

Completely change the behavior of entering special keys (like Ctrl+Alt+Del).

Do not show a modal dialog which needs to be closed after every key sequence; instead replace it with a toggle action which can be enabled to fetch every possible key (all except some X server shortcuts like Ctrl+F1) while the remote desktop has the focus.

This should improve the the workflow quite a lot.

Please note that KWin shortcuts like Alt+Tab are not active while this mode is active and the remote desktop has the focus.

Move autostart in kdereview

start an emoticonkcm doc, not finished yet!

I don't find it in KHelpCenter though and the Help button stays disabled in SystemSettings: any hint on how to get it enabled would be nice, thanks

move emoticons kcm to kdebase

Move KDiamond from kdereview to kdegames module. (Messages missing.)

- Highscores are now blocked for cheaters
- Some minor corrections on QTest units

Start new game Palapeli, a jigsaw puzzle.

Made by me and Felix Lemke who is waiting for an SVN account.
