Issue 106

Various fixes needed for ensuring that the molecule viewer keeps running well on low-spec / software-only OpenGL implementations.
- disable eyecandy in "Low quality" mode
- by the way, always disable the zoom's eyecandy, it's ugly.
- only enable the second light in "High quality" mode
- only keep asserts in libavogadro in 'debugfull' mode.

This prompted changes to libavogadro which I'm posting upstream.

Fixing bug #119963. Now you can center & track on solar system bodies, even when they are not being drawn. The centered body remains invisible but does get a name label.

The drawback from this fix is that users can no longer attempt to save CPU cycles by turning off solar system bodies; their positions will still get updated, even when invisible. Still, that's better than centering on a null position when the user tries to center on a real body.

Make 3rd-party-theme fallbacks work correctly, part 1:

For themes that don't inherit Oxygen, we either need to hardcode it as fallback, or revive the /usr/share/icons/default.kde symlink from KDE 3.

jstaniek indicated that there might be a workable solution also for Windows (using "shortcuts"), so I'm confident that the symlink is better. Unix only for now, and renamed to "default.kde4".

Thanks to dfaure for the advance work on the CMake script.

Make 3rd-party-theme fallbacks work correctly, part 2:

Fix the theme fallback order in KIconLoader in order to
a) include Oxygen as fallback even if it's not included in the theme's "Inherits" property, and
b) make sure that "hicolor" is always included and always goes last in the theme hierarchy, as defined by the icon theme specification.

(a) is what makes you get rid of the numerous "unknown" icons if you use a theme that doesn't inherit Oxygen directly.

Enjoy running KDE with gnome-icon-theme & Co.! :P

Part 1 (reviving the default.kde symlink, r794564) wasn't actually needed in order to make this work, but is still a good thing to have, so I won't revert it.

A set of fixes for improving experience of file dialogs, mostly on Windows + some fixes for handling urls

KFileWidget:
- check whether a string contains protocol part more carefully because c:/ is an absolute path, not a protocol (static containsProtocolSection()), so we assume the protocol has at least two characters before ":/"
- enclose locationEdit->currentText() with QDir::fromNativeSeparators() and add .trimmed() to cover more cases in conditions
- slotOk(): add code for handling accepting using OK button when directory path is entered and directories are not acceptable result of the file widget:
cd to that directory then; in particuar it is now possible to enter C:\ or /
and press OK to change to the root dir on windows (or linux, respectively)

KUrlCompletion:
- construct the path more carefully because cwd can already end with '/', e.g. it can be "c:/"

KUrl:
- KUrl::equals() and ::urlcmp(): make comparison of local urls case-insensitive on Windows
- KUrl::hasSubUrl() some more optimizations

Fixes: Make the UI not jump its combobox when you change the item in that combobox.

Details: If you would switch from an image that has metadata to one that does not, the labels were hidden making the whole layout jump.

I tried different solutions, but the jumping was pretty disruptive, so just clear the label value instead.

Fix changing the current dir using the 'recent url' combo box.

Upon accepting new url in the 'directory' url combo box, append '/' if needed: the combo does not add it, but tokenize() expects it because uses KUrl::setFileName(), which would silently remove the last segment of the path.

Without the fix, if you select /home/js/foo/bar from the url combo box, and click on file.txt, the resulting url would be /home/js/foo/file.txt, not the expected /home/js/foo/bar/file.txt.

Another, and hopefully the last place where we have to care about trailing slashes for dirs, is kdiroperator.

there's comment like "QTextBrowser for some reason insists on putting // in links, this is a crude workaround".

Unfortunately there is no condition for mailto: links, apparently passed by QTextBrowser in the following form:

"mailto:/foo@bar.com"

Thus in the email client, the resulting address is broken: /foo@bar.com (should be foo@bar.com)

The fix:
- add "mailto:" to the list of protocols to fix
- change the regexp to "^([^:]+:)/+", to also support the single '/' after ':'

QDate::currentDate().daysTo( todo->dtDue().date() ) returns negative number if the due date is invalid, thus the summary displays 2,451,561 days due: <a href="/issues/2008-04-13/files/todonoduedateed3.png">http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=todonoduedateed3.png</a>;

After the fix (todosummarywidget.patch), we do not display invalid dates but we still show the todo items:
<a href="/issues/2008-04-13/files/todonoduedatefixpp3.png">http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?image=todonoduedatefixpp3.png</a>;

started to fix selection undo

Some fixes to the new applet theme.

Also, make sure that text is readable on dark color schemes until I figure out how to properly tint this thing to match the rest of our svgs without violating every single sacred concept of plasma hacking

major changes to support new --priority and --strict options.

only the i18ncheckarg checker actually supports these options so far, but the framework is in place for any checker to use them as needed.

Three new icons, of course again done by Jarle!

Save the selection of visible vocabulary columns.

Patch by David Chapel.

Ability to drag the scene with MMB.

Add the possibility to choose which screen to use for the presentation mode.
Default is "Default Screen", with the options for showing it to any available screen.

Also, dynamically resize when the screen used for the presentation mode changes size during a presentation.

Many thanks to 'zbsz' for his testing!

digiKam from KDE3 branch: Save and Restore auto-completion settings with all Search text widget between program sessions.

Multi-screen improvement for the presentation mode:
When there is more than one screen available, add a popup menu in the toolbar to dynamically move the presentation widget to another of the available screens.

Many thanks go again to Zbigniew Szymanski for his really precious testing!

Add the possibility to select the current screen as start of the presentation mode, and make that the default (as one would expect).

(futhermore, use an explicit value as screen index)

Added initial dragndrop

Improved animations for RSSNOw. While scrolling, the old item now also slides away, making it clearer that the item has just switched.

Also, only 1 timeline is now used per scroller which reduces stuttering while scrolling fast.

Quickly scrolling now also accelerates the speed at which items scroll by.

I'm still going to add a way for scrollers to delay their clearUnusedItems() to a moment where no scrollers are animated to improve animation performance further.

Also a couple of unrelated small fixes.

This changes current notifications DBus interface to conform to one present in current state of galago spec.

Mostly naming changes.

Now I need to adapt KNotify to this change. Will do later today.

The new PIMOShell, the administration tool for pretty much all data.

Add configuration options for the animations and made the logo optional.

made fetch icon-themes via GHNS working

This makes digital clock ready for saving multi-selection choice in KTimeZones. Will be needed in future when we implement displaying a list of timezones in tooltip.

Reviewed by Sebastian Kügler

Added methods to get and enable/disable autostart values of services.

This will be important for a service management GUI.

add themes plugin

Provide a setting to turn on/off tooltips.

The tooltip implementation itself will be committed before the feature freeze (20th of April).

The ability to remove icons: not yet user visible

Now everyone can remove icons

Now we can also add icons via a dialog

Adding improving the closed window items support after having discussed the patch with David Faure.
- Shared closed window items over D-Bus
- Persistent closed window items by storing them in a config file or sharing them by D-Bus when there are other konqueror instances running

* More detailed error page (enable code which was intended for KDE 3.1 (okay, now just one major version later.. ;))).
* Themable error page (inspired by Qt demo browser).

Okayed by Leo Savernik (kfm-devel).

Galago spec conformance:
- Move from int IDs to uint IDs
- Handle actions string list like (act_id1, act_name1, act_id2, act_name2,...)

After a commit to KNotify branch (which will happen in a second), things start to work as they used to, but this time with conformance to galago spec :)

Apply patch from #152030 (make it optionally follow system colors).

Provide tooltips.
Per default tooltips are turned off because the information sidebar is turned on already.

Thanks a lot to Konstantin Heil and Fredrik Höglund for the code :-)

Added skeleton implementation of autoscrolling horizontal KTreeView

Start to add webkitpart support

Add a desktop ioslave that lists the contents of the desktop folder.

The ioslave also parses the .desktop files and sets the display name in the file items to the value of the Name field in the .desktop file.

Implement support for drag and drop.

It's now possible to reposition the items within the view, drag items out of the view, and drop files into it.

New way of configuring RSSNOW: allow feeds to be grouped together by dragging feeds to existing scrollers. RSSNOW now also has a single scroller as drop target to create a new group.

dataUpdated moved from the applet to the scroller widget, making this grouping easier to accomplish, and the scrollers independent from the applet (extender ready :)).

Added the isAnimating() function to Phase.

This way, applet/widgets can delay 'heavy' operations until all animations are finished to avoid stuttering animations.

added xmpp emoticons theme

add a policykit authenticator dialog. Based on KDE3 based code written by Gökçen Eraslan, but ported to KDE4.

Doesn't do a whole lot yet, but eventually I'll get there.

Add flags to KUniqueApplication::start() to control how the new instance is started and define a NonUniqueInstance flag which can be used to make an instance of KUniqueApplication behave like a normal KApplication.

This will be used in Konsole so that running "konsole" from a terminal creates a new process which inherits the environment of the parent shell.

Allow to show page source (code based on qt/demo/browser)

Added overlay support.
To use it add to your theme overlay.svg.

work on WoC: in a good way!

when clicking with the middle mouse button on a directory, a new tab should be opened

The applet now adapts to live in a panel, by grouping all scrollers together if it doesn't fit otherwise, and hiding the drop target and logo.

It now also works again with a more recent version of Phase.

Properly enable/disable actions, and the very early starts of context menu support.

Rough implementation of the backup feature for Akonadi.

Add a wizard^Massistant, so it looks ten times better.

Add a restore feature to the tray. Including the nice assistant.

Add todays date to the proposed filename when making backups.

I'm forcing yyyyMMdd. Example: akonadibackup-20080409.tgz

This way sorting alphabetically gives you a nice list.

added some infrastructure to support custom input devices like the Space Navigator

added Space Navigator device pligin using the custom input device infrastructure

Add basics for baselining.

Work on making the dataset chart type selector (and the process of changing a dataset's chart type) behave more correctly

Add support when we use webkitpart.

pb: by default search bar doesn't work (even if there is not webkit support, it's broken).

I will fix it today

Add new html info page to the Seeqpod script.

Seeqpod has given the ok to use their graphics on this page.

PacketPool class for easy memory management of preallocated memory.

This is very useful for low-latency/realtime audio code where malloc/free is not allowed

another approach to PCM I/O: integreate more into the existing Phonon classes, especially interesting to not duplicate the AudioOutput functionality.

Added the start of a kjob to handle longer queues of queries without bugging musicbrainz more than once a second.

New test app discbrainz which is a baby CD player using solid / phonon for hardware detection / media playing and detecting musicbrainz disc id.

Will do simple CD lookups to test musicbrainz cd key lookups

Shuffle a few bits and pieces around in the lib and brainzscanner

Implemented audio effect parameters, and rewrote how available audio effect are detected.

Automatically skip unplayable tracks.

This is especially useful for playing from internet services like SeeqPod, where a high percentage of tracks is borked.

Preview size for audio and video files is now configurable.

Option support for WebKit KPart in KGet Konqueror plugin.

- added new class MirrorsConfig which is used in class Mirror
- set www.winkde.org as default mirror list server
- set sourceforge as fallback mirror list server

The game area is now grayed out when in pause.

Intorduce auto switching to the next level after successfully completing current one.
Advancing takes place after a slight pause to let user review his solution.

Also disable "Previous Level" and "Next Level" actions when switch to corresponding level can't be performed.

Patch by gnushi - many thanks! :)

* Revive text-labels.
* Implement View menu.
* Keep statusbar up to date.
* Add toolbar texts, tips and whatsthis.
* Streamline (re-write) left-button slice-move operations.
* Fix ugly uses of rapid animation.
* Improve lighting and reflections.
* Remove Quit from toolbar.
* Re-word the Demo message.
* Update TODO file.

finally, cache keyrings with file monitoring just like old psi 0.10 code.

now qca-gnupg should be a lot faster and support keyring update notifications

Added initial experimental support for explicit vectorization.

Currently only the following platform/operations are supported:
- SSE2 compatible architecture
- compiler compatible with intel's SSE2 intrinsics
- float, double and int data types
- fixed size matrices with a storage major dimension multiple of 4 (or 2 for double)
- scalar-matrix product, component wise: +,-,*,min,max
- matrix-matrix product only if the left matrix is vectorizable and column major or the right matrix is vectorizable and row major, e.g.: a.transpose() * b is not vectorized with the default column major storage.

To use it you must define EIGEN_VECTORIZE and EIGEN_INTEL_PLATFORM.

Optimization: For line-breaking long symbols use binary search

This optimizes the line break algorithm for text labels in the RectDrawing class (method drawField) by reducing the number of calls to QFontMetrics::width(), which is a lot slower in Qt4 than in Qt3. RectDrawing is used for the drawing of rectangles in treemaps and graph nodes.

only recreate the SmartRange if it really differs.

This is much faster (= less repaints) than recreating it everytime the mouse moves a pixel...

security measure: disable delayed variable expansion on win2k+ - just in case somebody enabled it by default. scripts still can enable it locally. and for complex command lines ... oh, well - too bad.

entirely untested.

add a plasma applet template

Branch to work on duchain support for QMake

* Added Ruby versions of the plasmoidviewer and engineexplorer tools.
This is a good test for the Plasma bindings and in particular the code in the viewer is useful showing how to load an applet in a Qt::GraphicsView outside the Plasma process.

* Fixed up some of the license text in the applet examples.

I added a slot to call a signal. Great achievement. Get rid of it. (focus for search line)

Increase maximum zoom level by a factor of 5.

Move Skanlite to extragear/graphics/

Do not outright deny the user to use a standard shortcut for a global shortcut but ask for confirmation.

What was I thinking - the user is always right :)

OK, let's just not have translation placeholders until a sensible method of transferring translations (and, more importantly in this case, their contexts) from a dataengine to an applet is devised.

See the thread beginning with <a href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/panel-devel/2008-April/009575.html">http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/panel-devel/2008-April/009575.html</a>;

Applets will just have to have their own translation strings...

"delete this" considered harmful.
I know I'm taking the risk of breaking something that isn't really broken.

Commit the working parts of the dbus backend

Creating ktreeview folder in playground

Finally do what I wrote in the kdelibs TODO for kde4, but limited to what BC offers: parts should call setComponentData(,false) and loadPlugins at the end of the ctor; in kde5 we can make "false" the default.

Complete source rewrite/improvement of KInfocenter:
- Complete port to KDE/Qt 4, no more use of QT3 Support
- Simplify interface (remove multiple left tabs, add quick help in the top of the layout, use a KListWidgetSearchLine to filter by keywords and name)
- Fix General Page (modules were not displayed), and allow user to select it from the left panel
- Clean code and indentation structure
- Remove big margins and useless layout/widgets to integrate KCMModule (request from Aaron Siego)
- Memory module is now in a separate folder
- Memory module has been rewritten, and the chart generation is now simpler.
- Use color gradient and color scheme of System Monitor app (request from John Tapsell)
- Use a default icon when the requested icon does not exist (request from David Jarvie)
- Integrate patch from Konrad Rzepecki about improve PCI module by using libpci API. Add an optional dependency in CMake for this library

- The porting to KDE4 of all architecture may add some compilation errors (sorry, I have no AIX, HPUX, Solaris, SGI, FreeBSD, OpenBSD systems to test those source). However, some existing codes already did not compile.
- Simplify source code by removing some part corresponding to the moment where KInfocenter and KControl were the same (it seems to).
- Name and comments of each modules are now normalized. (even IOSlaves Info and Samba Status)

- Allow the future move of inner modules of kcm_info to a dedicated module (examples: Sound, X-Server, Partitions,...)

TODO:
- Improve Loading page layout
- Port Partitions, Sound and Network Interfaces modules to Solid
- Set my email as current maintainer

Refine animating of switching SVG when AC is unplugged.

switch autocomplete to non-drop down; history remains and the combobox is manually openable still, and of course you can also swith the completion mode to something else... this just about the default.

it also now saves/restores the completion mode from the config file

- Changes to make things work and start to support new plasma stuff

slightly nicer dialog. just when I learned about KPasswordEdit...
I'll switch to that one tomorrow.

Start a new process rather than re-using an existing one when Konsole is started from a terminal. This is useful because:

1) The environment from the terminal propagates into the new process (including changes to DISPLAY)
2) Konsole/KDE 4 can be used for developing Konsole/KDE 4.

Make transparency support opt-out rather than opt-in.
Transparency can be disabled in an environment which otherwise supports it via the --notransparency flag at startup.

This should save confusion over why the transparency setting has no effect by default.

It was opt-in originally because of problems with NVidia hardware in particular.
Recent drivers apparently alleviate the those problems to some extent.

Use the text shape instead of the simple text shape.
This has two reasons.

The first one is that it turned out to be impossible (without risking crashes) to use an interface to a plugin if the interface definition is not in the libs.

If I had knew this before, that would have saved me and Jan (thanks again for your help) a lot of time.

Second reason is that the text shape is more flexible than it seemed to me, which means that the functionality that chart labels don't support can be turned off.

Initial version for testing ODF document loading.

The test compares the QTextDocument that is created by KoTextLoader with another QTextDocument that is created by a QScript. The script requires one to generate bindings for Qt using <a href="http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/QtScript/Generator.">http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/QtScript/Generator.</a>;

Test data is from <a href="http://testsuite.opendocumentfellowship.com/.">http://testsuite.opendocumentfellowship.com/.</a>; I will import them and the scripts into svn after checking with Thomas Zander about the licensing.

Testing a proposal from Mamarok: Let's try getting rid of the SVG border around the main toolbar buttons.
It always looked rather cheesy anyway.

What do you think?

Simplify the Wikipedia applet somewhat, and remove the artist/album/track buttons that are of no use for now.

Now at least it look sane untill someone has a chance to really bring it to feature parity with the wikipedia stuff from 1.4.x

Tag Amarok 1.4.9.

Use Phonon::MediaSource::stream() for determining if the current track is a stream.
It's more reliable than our simplistic old method, and also less code.

Remember guys: Don't invent a bike!

Created branch for the windows port

- Removed torrentspy (RIP) from default list of search engines
- Fix update from search engines from internet feature

Welcome ... er ... Ozone, the new default KWin decoration, that will be a fork of the Oxygen decoration with additional features that the Oxygen developers don't want to have in Oxygen.

See README or #152030 for why they prefer it this way.

python-qt4-dbus now working with QtDbus, start port to being a KDE app

Replaced by plasma's luna applet.

Initial import of Parsek, a client for turn-based 4X strategy games based on Thousand Parsec framework.

4X stands for explore, expand, exploit and exterminate. Similar games are Stars!, Galactic Civilizations, Reach for the Stars, and many others. You can also think of those as an advanced version of Konquest.

I hope I've put everything into the right place and that the CMake files are OK.

The client is still in the early phase ocf development so currently you can only connect to a game server, download the Universe and see the tree of objects in it and a table with messages.

Any help and feedback is much appreciated.

New Default theme for kbreakout. The old one has been renamed into Crystal.

KBoggle is not ported to KDE4, moving to unmaintained as accorded with Bram (author).

Move to ogg, it works much better on my local setup even one would think wav is way easier than ogg

Move Kubrick from kdereview to kdegames.

initial upload of wordKubes

draw desktop icons the old style...

allow to define default clock color
