Issue 104

1. Prevent crash after having had more than one window open and then start a quiz.
2. Review of the configuration dialog.

Do not attempt to monitor ksysguard from ksysguard... this crashes :)

KCModule's are loaded in the background from systemsettings. The changed code was supposed to enable lazy loading. It didn't work because of two flaws:

1. wrong initialization for _firstshow
2. Those d->kcm->show() call wouldn't trigger a showEvent. That widget KCModule was never hidden anyway. The KCModuleProxy was hidden.

That wasn't good for some reasons. One of it is you get warnings possibly completely out of context. klicking on Keyboard&Mouse could bring up messages from 3 different kcm's which aren't visible at that moment. That's confusing for the user.

Now some kcmodule could load their settings twice. Once during the initialization and once during the initial show. We have to find and fix those double loads.

Fix the famous 'My E ky dos not work' bug. It really had a much broader scope but the other not working shortcuts were more esoteric.

Missing 'ctrl-w' annoyed me (vim user).

The problem was twofold. Not overriding the mainComponent meant the shortcuts got really active during the update run.

Setting the isConfigurationShortcut option ensured they outlived their program.

- Fully tested webseed proxying, which resulted in a couple of bugfixes
- Improved error handling of webseed http connections

Add a new automation plugin: allows to schedule site checks in hour, day or weekly periodicity. The results are then export to HTML and/or an e-mail is sent.

It's already working, next step is to offer a GUI so the user doesn't have to edit property files.

Also some random fixes along the way.

KLinkStatus gets Hot New Stuff support.

Now it's possible to install new XSLT stylesheets in order to generate the HTML reports.

New stylesheets can be uploaded into the KLinkStatus section of kde-files.org:

Kross::Object support for Ruby

Parley now supports Synonyms, Antonyms and False Friends that are connections to other words.

Write not always synonyms but also antonyms and false friends

new "kids" and "grown-up" oxygen icons, thanks to Marc Cheng! Awesome!

* better rendering of the human body
* implement constraining of the lenght of the human body

New feature: PhotoCopy. This copies an image directly from scanner to printer.

Operation is available from the "Scan - PhotoCopy" menu.

Open Dolphin in the split-view when started with 2 URLs from the command line.

Thanks to David Edmundson for the patch!

Supports different looks for panels on different screen edges

adds the support for arguments to applets in plasmoidviewer, so you can call for instance plasmoidviewer icon /path/to/foo and the icon applet will load the url /path/to/foo

also display an error message if plasmoidviewer was called without arguments

Applet is now capable of showing simple messages with icon, summary and body.

Visual presentation is somewhat ugly atm, but acceptable for testing ;)

- Add the first steps towards generated bindings for libplasma

And now it started to actually work! I can see knotify notifications in my plasma applet. Hurray! :)

Some fine-tuning still pending of course

The usual daily (c) save my work ;)
(beginnings of invokable actions support)

* Introduced menu-views to allow to define what menu should be displayed. Supported views are: Combined, Favorites, Applications, Computer, Recently Used or Leave

* Introduced format-option to allow to define the menu-caption. This is equal to the "Menu item format" option in KDE3. Supported formats are: "Name only", "Description only", "Name Description" (default) or "Description (Name)"

Add ability to monitor the input and output of processes.

This is really cool, if I must say so myself! It's crude, but you can watch, for example, bash and see what users are typing, in realtime! Or see messages come in from your irc client. Or see what your webbrowser says to servers, etc.

add khotnewstuff support to color scheme kcm

added Go / "Recently Visited" (most recent 10 items from the history, useful if you visit a website, close kde, relogin, and try to remember the website you recently visited; the "closed windows" list isn't that persistent, but has more features)

Activate icons when they're clicked or double-clicked, depending on the global single vs. double click setting.

First (not complete) version of the "simple hotkeys kcm".

Implement a Shortcut printing solution. It simply arranges a table of the shortcuts and the description with QTextDocument and sends that to a printer.

There a few todo items for finishing touches before 4.1, but the feature is good enough to be comitted.

Add support for pausing and resume processes. Not yet in the GUI

Implement UI as suggested by Celeste.

Meet the new expiration feedback! :)

(also removed LayoutAnimator as aseigo said it'll vanish sometime anyway)

Kross::Object support for QtScript

beginnings of a small package installer utility.

* introduce KisPaintingAssistant, a class that allow to control the position of where painting is done (this will allow to simulate rulers, compass and so on)

* Huge change in the Color Conversion System : introduce profile, which means nodes contains the color model id, the depth id _and_ the profile name, which means there is a node for a KoColorSpace/KoColorProfile couple.

* make icc color space be less of an exception, introduce KoColorSpaceEngine, this class allows to create color conversion transformation for a "class" of color space, for instance, for ICC to ICC conversion is always done the same way, this allow to reduce the number of connection in the CCS graph (reducing memory consuption and cpu time when looking for the best path)

(disable compilation of xyz_float_hdr, if someone wants to port it to the change, feel free)

Finally continue implementing the effects in the IrisWipe category. A few still missing, hopefully I can do them today. After that it's all about making them behave better (so that they cover the whole screen and enable them to be reversed).

Add a first preview of on-the-fly spell checking.

Support a second data dimension (needed for X/Y charts)

Give tools access to the current node in addition to the current layer (tools should stop using the current layer and start using the current node, but that's something I cannot do right now, since I need to go out and do some shopping).

Allow to increase/decrease font size

More updates to the progress slider by leeo.

Also paint the current indicator on top of the progress trail, it looks a lot nicer.

Still need to re-add the mouse over animation.

Various little changes.

*) rename Playlist::Model::saveM3U to Playlist::Model::savePlaylist to reflect what it does
*) Make inserting items into the playlist with options & Append not start playing them, even if nothing is playing. This caused unpleasant things to occur on startup.
*) remove the --engine command line option.
*) Initialize the sidebar in init() along with everything else
*) Fix a crash that could occur when quitting amarok with no track playing.
*) Remove unnecessary includes
*) remove the --enqueue command line option. This one has been deprecated for a really long time.

Implement scoring in sqlmeta again. This seems to work nicely.

Extend the Seeqpod script with a configuration GUI, which asks you for your UID. Requires Qt4-Ruby now.

TODO: Remember the UID over sessions.

The remote desktops model is now able to show the current bookmarks (and groups).

Also show some icons and make the dock widget a bit more usable: on double click check if the remote desktop has already been opened and in case switch to that tab instead of opening it again.

Still work in progress.

Implement scaling of remote desktop for VNC protocol.

Allows up- and downscaling with free aspect ratio.

There are sometimes small roundig errors, what results small artefacts (KDE 3 version had this issue too). Need to find a solution for this issue later, but this implementation is already usable without problems.

This is still work in progress, fixes for small problems will follow.

Changes:
- Add webseeds tab in infowidget (initial version)
- Add proxy support to webseeds

- Users can now add custom webseeds for each torrent
- Implemented status column of webseeds list

Add an Oxygen nicklist icon theme made by Oxygen lead designer Nuno Pinheiro.

This is a good replacement for the Tango theme removed earlier due to the problematic CC license, as it implements the same design concept, but with a KDE look.

Implement deleting a key pair by deleting the key pair

Weird, isn't it? If you delete a public key (which may or may be not a part of a key pair) you have to invalidate all signatures from this key. Until now after deleting a secret key all secret keys were simply reloaded. This was wrong in multiple different ways as it did not do everything expected. Also it is inefficient to reload multiple keys.

Now that we have notifications between public keys and signature it's much cleaner: delete the key node if it is gone from keyring and that's it.

This one should be really gone now. There is no chance that the key pair is still there if the key is deleted. At least I hope so ;)

- added theme support

libarchive plugin:
- Make extraction work (was creating empty file).
- Implement extraction of file without preserving the path.
This makes preview work (extraction to a temp dir).
- Get the info whether an entry of the archive is a directory (instead of relying on the name ending with a '/' in ArchiveModel::slotNewEntry()).

So now read libarchive-2.4.11.tar.gz properly :)

Adding Electronic theme for KNetWalk.
Need somebody to test it.
Contact mkbart on #kdegames.

Introducing a fantastic new minimap, showing the positions and connections between all pieces.

Also, remove the assumption that the pieces have to form a two-dimensional array.

Add totally experimental support for KNewStuff2: The classic theme moves to data.kstuff.org as test subject; I'm now waiting for the cronjob to index it.

- advance GGZ support from about 40% to about 90%

- Changed Graphs to provide more infos on cliques
- Added new view based on QGV and SVG
- Added a SVG-renderer
- Added a yet to improve sample theme

Optimize the dashed and dotted line drawing code by using a QPainterPath instead of a QBitmap, since bitmaps aren't accelerated by EXA.

With this change, this code path no longer shows up as a bottleneck when profiling.

UML model of current and proposed gps implementation written in ArgoUML 0.24

Revert the last change for legal reasons.
The involved people have been notified.

move glimpse to kdereview

Big reorganisation of OCR stuff, hopefully making it easier to add new OCR engines in future. The base OCR engine support and the OCR dialogue are now abstract classes, subclassed by the 3 supported OCR engines.

* Correctly save OCR spell checking options, bug 141927
* New action to manually do the OCR result spell check
* No need to restart Kooka after changing OCR engine
* Show a preview and image information when using "OCR Selection"
* Restore labels on GOCR parameter sliders

Other fixes:

* Hide the rarely used "Enable all messages..." action away in preferences dialogue
* Correctly load startup image if path to gallery or $HOME contains a symlink
* Correct fixed size of "lockzoom" toolbar icon, bug 133073
* Use correct debug areas: kooka=28000, libkscan=29000

use local kde4 services directory to register kio-giobridge (with the new util kio-giobridge-mgr); add icon for protocols handled by kio-giobridge.

move things that are not required anymore to the "unused" directory.

provide a config module for the settings GUI of the Dolphin views, so that it can be embedded into Konqueror

introduce DesktopCorona which has desktopy stuff in it like responding to screens, the default setup for the desktop itself, etc.

takes a stab at fixing the "new screen plugged in, contianment for screen already exists, screen doesn't get anything shown on it" problem

die die ktip, bwahahahah

do not display in apps menu, available through kickoff right click menu, see kde-core-devel 'Kubuntu Settings in KDE' thread

maximise on double click, see kde-core-devel 'Kubuntu Settings in KDE' thread

no not warn when sending unencrypted form data, since it is not a problem in the majority of cases people will just learn to ignore warning dialogues, see kde-core-devel 'Kubuntu Settings in KDE' thread

do not ask users if they want to accept cookies, normal people just want their web pages to show, see kde-core-devel 'Kubuntu Settings in KDE' thread

Create a branch for me to play with creating knotify => dbus => plasma bridge.

The plan is to extend NotifyByPopup plugin to look if particular dbus interface exists on bus and filter knotify popups to it.

Or use the usual passive popups if no interface found on bus

Re-enable startup suspending in ksmserver and use it while wallpaper is drawn, to allow fullscreen splashscreens to hide all the initial plasma flicker.

Change colorize from 0.9 to 1.0. No reason it should have been 0.9 in the first place. Plus it fixes slight differences in intesity levels between system color-aware plasma themes and the currently selected style.

It was a very minor change so I just went ahead and committed. I don't anticipate any objections, but if there are please revert with my apologies.

Someone asked me on IRC some time ago how to locate an icon from the command line, here it is.

Can be useful for debugging, too (kiconloader hackers, icon theme writers, artists, app writers etc.).

Use new key in .protocol files, archiveMimetype, to know which kioslave can handle which type of archive in a generic way.

Used that in dolphin and in konqueror (and in the filetypes config module, to show the right default value for those mimetypes).

This way Urs can extend this mechanism with the p7zip kioslave in the future.

At the moment we don't support monitoring the IO for remote machines or for other people's processes (require kdesu integration)

For 4.0.3, replaced SVG elements with embedded raster images to work around qt bug in qt 4.3 with svg rendering. Provided by Cornelius Maihöfer.

Phonon will now partially work on Panther

Redesign for the khotkeys dialogs

Changed to use Marble to greatly simplify things and to make things better.

This eliminates the need to reuse old KWorldClock code.

add tiger js (doesn't hae the svg with it, however, that's something i should add to make it fully self contained, something like package.file("image", "tiger.svg"))

The paste operation should ignore the current selection to behave similar as Konqueror and other file managers. Only if a context menu for a folder is opened, a pasting should be done into this folder.

Some internal cleanups are still required (see TODO comments), so that after finishing the operation an indication can be given to the user in the statusbar (must go for breakfast now, otherwise I'll eat my keyboard...).

New backport (??) from KDE3: now each profile can enable/disable BiDi rendering in the display. We need this since many console based application (vim, emacs, fribidi etc) implement their own BiDi algorithm.

There is also another reason: comatibility. All terminals are *not* aware of the BiDi issue and do not re-order the chars (gnome-terminal, xterm, konsole, etc). It is possible to enable the BiDi rendering on each profile, so this is not a huge lost.

I am still missing the keyboard shortcut to quickly enable/disable it (alt+control+b in konsole3), but I am not sure what is the best way for doing it.

A quick note about the implementation.

In QPainter3, there was an option to draw a text and tell the painter "please do not implement BiDi". In QPainter4 (up to 4.4) there is no such option. I am forcing it by drawing "painter.drawText(rect,0,QChar(0x202D)+text)" (that is &LRO;), and it does seem to work, but I find it kinda "hackish". I will open a task in Trolltech and request that new feature.

Hopefully by Qt4.5/KDE4.2 I will be able to change the implementation.

Remove the accessibility kcm. the kcmaccess ( in the access folder is the same and a rewrite )

The conclusion is that KSystemTrayIcon does not work together with KNotifications, the messages popup randomly on screen, probably because it is no QWidget.

Delete the usage of KNotify and use showMessage() from QSystemTrayIcon instead.

Add Nepomuk based SearchManager. If the nepomuk_contact_feeder would work, the search would work as well ;)

Will be fixed during the next week hopefully :)

Set icons for executables under Windows and Mac.

Now our apps look like this:

Remove checks for Qt 4.4 as its use is mandatory in trunk

Slowy start to add some of all the new service stuff to the changelog (Writing this thing to cover all the changes from 1.4.x to 2.0 will be really hard...)

Some one on enginecontroller:

Use a more phononesque approach, rather than having the playlist control what the engine is doing, have the engine grab the next tracks from the playlist and queue them for phonon to play. This involved changing the track navigators.

In addition, only tell phonon to seek if we give it a specific point in the file to seek to. phonon/xine is really bad at seeking.

Use the plasma color scheme colors in the applets rather than hardcoding white.

This doesn't update on a system colorscheme change yet, however.

Switch to using Phonon states everywhere instead of converting between engine states and phonon states. This makes amarok function more predictably due to a number of questionable behaviors Amarok underwent. In addition fix a few related bugs:

*) The context view would refresh the current setup when toggling from pause->play. this was not ideal.
*) The lastfm audio controller would break pausing when the last fm service was created. It listened for a StateChanged( Paused ) notification and told the engine to stop without checking whether the stream was a lastfm radio or not.

I've currently disabled this as It was pretty bad.

The biggest change here is replacing the QApp based version of brainzscanner with one based off of code generated by KAppTemplate. Brainzscanner is now a KDE4 app with a KXmlMainWindow at its core and all the kconfig and other stuff that comes with that.

More reorganization of the CMake files.

Fixed a few GCC visibility issues in the libs.

Immediately disable Stop action after pressing Stop (when fadeout starts).

This is the way Amarok 1 behaved, and it prevents pressing Stop multiple times.

use new magnatune hosted front page for the magnatune store. the new frontpage contains images and links to the newest albums, and cliking one of these adds it to the playlist.

Unfortunately, QWebKit does not honor the flow layout, so all the images are put on top of each other ( they should be flowing left to right )

Remove dependency to KDE extragear (KTorrent).
Just create an svn external to the lib we need (libbtcore).

For now, the svn external points to KTorrent trunk. As soon as KTorrent 3.1 has been branched, we will switch over to that.

It is possible that things could break for a short time if massive changes happen in KTorrent as long as we stay with KTorrent trunk.

Also do not link against libbtcore, but compile it into the plugin. This way we can prevent problems people had in the past when LD_LIBRARY_PATH has not been set.

Remove the Tango nicklist icon theme again due to conflicts between the CC license and the KDE Licensing Policy as well as the DFSG.

A fullscreen version of the default splash - less flicker around, nicer fade-in with composite (on gfx cards that can handle it, anyway).

add printer-applet, a replacement for kjobviewer.

a Python app. please test.

added: some better-than-nothing docs for Okteta

Created documentation shell for printer-applet - a must for items in kdereview

- first draft of BT device-manager

Add material to the Kubrick Handbook.

Move Kubrick to kdereview.

Simplify the card choosing dialog and also move it into a plain QWidget.
This allows for embedding the card deck chooser into an existing dialog.

Adapt the games as needed.

KDE 4.0.3

Remove our local copy of GMM.

kdesupport is not intended to contain local copies of libs developed elsewhere. Since GMM 3.0 is released there is no reason anymore to have a copy of GMM here.

Other commits will follow updating CMakeLists.txt files to indicate the URL where GMM can be downloaded from. The FindGMM.cmake don't seem to need any change.

start a work branch for Plasma desktop of openSUSE 11.0
