This Week...

KDev-Python's new debugger gains a DUChain-supported local declaration list. Digikam adds loc.alize.us support to their geolocation service. Okular now remembers exact bookmark positions and more than one bookmark per page. KWin adds Global Shortcut support for scripts and scripted effects and cursor-key navigation to Flip Switch and Cover Switch effects. Kickoff can now be used only with a keyboard. Katepart improves their auto-bracketing feature. Plasma applet Miniplayer reaches version 2.3, adding a track properties dialog, improved filtering and other improvements. NEPOMUK enables Virtuoso inference on all queries and includes optimization fixes.

Bug Fixes

Accessibility

Jeremy Paul Whiting committed changes in [jovie] jovie/speaker.cpp:

Use user settings when connecting to speechd.
If a voice is configured in jovie, use the topmost voice to
initialize language, outputmodule, speed, volume, pitch
when connecting to speech dispatcher.

Development Tools

Aleix Pol Gonzalez committed changes in [kdevelop] projectmanagers/cmake/cmakemanager.cpp:

Limit project initialization, only let 1 project to be set up at a time.

Helps serialize the KConfig calls issued when the project import is bootstrapped.

Milian Wolff committed changes in [kdev-php/1.3] /:

take range into account when looking for redeclarations

probably we should refactor the handling of foreach
variables, since right now we have to visit the
TypeBuilder::visitStatement before declaring the variables.
this has side-effects since it also means we visit the
foreach-body statements before declaring the variables...

Michael Pyne committed changes in [kdesrc-build] /:

Fully name internal function to use with log_command.

log_command supports calling an internal subroutine instead of
exec()'ing a new process in the logged child. The subroutine is
identified by name.

With the move of log_command to ksb::Util, log_command now assumes that
the named function will be found in ksb::Util instead of the main
package, but none of the users of this feature were ported over.

This led to bug 297158 (kdesrc-build fails to --refresh-build a module)
since the 'prune_under_directory' routine used to refresh the build
directory wasn't being called by log_command anymore.

Thanks to Kevin Lyles for the prompt and informative report!

I've added a (very simple) test case to ensure the subroutines can be
called at all (a test which now passes).

Kurt Hindenburg committed changes in [konsole] src/ProfileManager.cpp:

After 8240973baf59036030dc60aa93bad9489f05bccb, using full paths in
--profile didn't work. This fixes that issue.

It will save the full profile path for favorites and shortcuts if the

Fixes: broken calculation of toolbox layout

* last button with multiple sections on row was cut off at end (spacing ignored)
* separators could appear on the top side of the toolbox

*Properly updated context menu when read-only flag is set for line edits and text boxes

Matus Uzak committed changes in [calligra] filters/words/docx/DocxXmlDocumentReader.cpp:

docx: Added a workaround until text:display="none" support.

According to MSWord 2007:
- Ignoring text:span elements with text:display="none" in the TextStyle.
- Ignoring text:a elements containing only hidden text:span elements.
- Ignoring empty text:p elements with text:display="none" in text-properties
of the paragraph mark.

TODO: If the content of a list-item is hidden, then content of the first
NOT hidden paragraph replaces it. From the implementation point of view
that paragraph inherits list related properties.

on saving if e.g. no name for the page was set. This fixes the problem that
after save/load of a document all slides/pages are named pageX.

Multimedia

Harald Sitter committed changes in [phonon-vlc] /:

Stop applying the volume on play/resume

When PASupport is active it intercepts all AO calls and applies them to PA
directly, so changing the volume regardless of PA will lead to
unpredictable behavior as the volume value the backend AO knows about might
not be the actual volume value in the frontend/PA, so it essentially sets
a wrong volume on play/resume.

Instead it now sets the volume when a path is created between the AO and
the MO if and only if PASupport is not active. If PASupport is active it
does not set the volume at all.

Verification pending.

Harald Sitter committed changes in [phonon-gstreamer] gstreamer/mediaobject.cpp:

Fix QString crash from using null char*

A tag can *always* be empty, that applies to subtitles too.
Now if a subtitle language tag were empty it would crash QString.
Instead we check if it is null and if so simply say it is "Unknown".
Not the best of things, but if gstreamer fails to provide the language
code I do not see how we could possibly get a sensible name here.
I'd encourage checking back with the reporter of the bug this fixes
on whether other players (most notably VLC) display something specific
for the subtitles (I can totally imagine them having arbitrary names,
for which there surely is a way to access via GST).

Please verify this fixes the issue, as I fail to reproduce it.



Also...
DO NOT EVER USE UNTRANSLATED STRINGS IN POSSIBLY USER VISIBLE STUFF!

Incidentally enough we no more compose "Subtitle n - [lang]" as name but
simply use the ISO lang code from GST for reasons of simplicity and
actually that is the expected value of the name as number etc. are
forced upon the world by the model we use for the public API.

waiting for a password input. Check if the object is still alive before reading
the next input.

If we detect the process to go away also close the password dialog as it can't
do anything useful then anymore.

Plasma QML apidox script works recursively now

This script now takes a base path, walks into it and generates a
flat list of html files, just like for the plasma components
previously.

The script should be run from kde-runtime/plasma/declarativeimports/ like so:

qmlapigenerator.py -v "Plasma Quick master" \

Sven Brauch committed changes in [kdev-python/newdebugger] /:

DUChain-supported local declaration list (fancy fancy!)

Urgent ToDo: Sort those declarations (locals first), it's horribe right now
because the list is way too long

Michael Pyne committed changes in [kdesrc-build] kdesrc-build:

Add check for "essential" programs before building.

If you (for whatever reason) don't have things like cmake installed before
trying to run a full build you'll just spend a lot of time to eventually figure
out that kdesrc-build wasn't able to build anything.

Now we can (optionally!) skip the build process entirely if "essential"
programs do not seem to be available before running the build. Each build
system type is able to determine which programs are considered essential.

Note that if 'qmake' is the only holdup then we don't complain if we seem to be
building Qt or if we're in pretend mode (since it's certainly possible to fool
build system detection when in pretend mode). If qmake is really missing the
user /should/ just find out when they run without --pretend (since then Qt
should show up amongst the build-modules' build systems).

Enable Virtuoso inference on all queries.

Thanks to Virtuoso's graph groups it is fairly simple to enable
inference on all queries.

However, we need to allow clients to disable inference as there are
many situations in which inference just makes for weird results (think
property listings in the UI).
This will be a bit harder as it might require changes in Soprano.

for the viewing mode - the original 3-column layout, this,
or the original "Simple" layout - and also the barcode
option if this is configured.

Sebastian Trueg committed changes in [kde-runtime/nepomuk/virtuosoInference] /services/storage:

New resource visibility handling.

Until now the query api would use the nao:userVisible values stored for
each resource to determine if a resource should be returned.
This requires a lot of nao:userVisible value maintenance and makes for
slower queries.
The new solution is much simpler: only types have nao:userVisible values
and the query api simply checks if the result candidate has a type
which is visible.
In contrast to the old one the new solution does not allow to hide a
sub-class of a visible class. But since we never did that anyway and
the resulting queries are faster and it allows us to remove a lot
maintenance code (which eats CPU cycles and disk space) the change is
worth it.
