This Week...

Okular saves annotations locally. Delayed search in Calligra allows the users to type the whole word, adding of image lists possible; brush rotation is absolute to canvas rotation. Amarok is now capable of transcoding music when copying it to USB Mass Storage devices. Exponential notation supported in Kst. Play Previous and Play Next and other updates in miniplayer. Further preparations for drag-and-drop support in the places panel in Dolphin. Refactoring work in kdenlive. GSoC work in Cantor.

Oliver Kellogg committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/umbrello:

PostgreSQLWriter::defaultDatatypes(): Fix last list entry as proposed in PR.
Thanks Nikita for well written bug reports.

Sebastian Doerner committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/dolphin-plugins/git:

Correctly show the version state for directories containing ignored files.

Ignored files do not cause these directories to be shown as Unversioned any more.
Ignored files in the current directory are now also shown in a different color (by marking them as Ignored instead of simply Unversioned).

FIXED-IN: 4.8.4

Michael Pyne committed changes in [kdelibs/KDE/4.8] kdecore/util/kshareddatacache.cpp:

kshareddatacache: Adopt KSDCCorrupted for exceptional errors.

This involves converting many present assertions (which crash no matter
what) and error-code return values (which have to be checked everywhere
the return value is used at) into using the KSDCCorrupted exception.

The nice thing about using the exception is that it can be trapped and
handled so that it does not cause an application crash.

There's still a bit more to do -- the end goal is that all accesses to
shm, no matter how minor, are vetted beforehand to ensure it won't cause
a page fault or bus violation.

Frank Reininghaus committed changes in [kde-baseapps/KDE/4.8] dolphin/src/kitemviews/kfileitemmodel.cpp:

Show all items in the directory when the name filter is cleared

The problem was the following: While a QMutableSetIterator iterates the
items in the QSet m_filteredItems, all items that match the new filter
are removed from the set. However, to ensure that the iterator still
reaches all items in the set, one must not use QSet::remove(), but
rather the iterator's remove() method (see QMutableSetIterator docs).

REVIEW: 104982
(cherry picked from commit 98f63a671d0b8b76d69c7d4b5fc06c5837408672)

Casian Andrei committed changes in [kde-workspace] kwin/client.cpp:

Fix windows like kickoff from disappearing

When trying to launch kickoff (start menu) or the add widgets from
Plasma, they disappeared immediately after appearing, making them
completely unusable.

This regression was traced back to commit
bf0a241c2462072fbc52012784fa51b9b42a1baf.

In Client::setOnActivities, if newActivitiesList was empty, after
joining it and splitting it back, it would contain an empty string, i.e.
it would have a different size than before. This eventually caused the problems.

Aurélien Gâteau committed changes in [kde-runtime] plasma/declarativeimports/core/datamodel.cpp:

Do not reset model while changing the regexp

There is no need to do so, QSortFilterProxyModel correctly adjust rows

REVIEW: 105042

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in [kde-workspace] /:

Use smart pointers to protect access to TabBoxClient

Client holds a SharedPointer to the TabBoxClient and only
provides access to a WeakPointer which is passed to TabBox.
ClientModel is adjusted to hold a list of WeakPointers instead
of the direct pointers.

This fixes the following reproducable crash:
1. Configure both primary and secondary TabBox with different
layouts
2. Use primary TabBox
3. Close a window, best the one which used to be active
4. Use secondary TabBox
-> Crash

The reason is that the ClientModel still contains the pointer
to the deleted TabBoxClient in step 3 and while creating the
layout access to the TabBoxClient is needed to get the Client's
icon.

By using the weak pointer it can be ensured that we don't try
to dereference the deleted pointer and prevent the crash.




REVIEW: 105000

Frank Reininghaus committed changes in [kde-baseapps] dolphin/src/panels/places/placespanel.cpp:

Enable the "Empty Trash" action if items are deleted by non-KDE apps

To achieve this, the Places Panel context menu now checks the icon of
the "Trash" item (which is updated by a dir lister that watches the
state of the trash), rather then reading a config file which is only
used by KDE applications.

Fix bug 300554

We used to get 1000x1000 pixel tiles from poppler. However asking
poppler to render those tiles is a) slower b) our calculation was
buggy.

I suspect that poppler renders the whole page anyway, then gives us
the part we asked for.

Harald Sitter committed changes in [xsettings-kde] xsettings-kde.c:

The IM support patch from [1], imported into Mageia in [2] adds a
conditional sleep() call when the infinite loop runs into an empty
event queue which is bound to happen quite a few times.

This introduces pointless code and pointless wake ups as the used
XNextEvent function blocks on an empty queue anyway [3], thus
rendering the manual sleep() call superfluous.

Amazon store: try to show a sensible default in the country selection

If the user has not set a location we now try to guess one by asking
KLocale for the country setting. This is then being displayed as default
choice in the country selection dialog.

This does NOT yet save this determination or even use it to query the
service, as sending data to an internet service without explicit
consent from the user is a bad, bad thing. It just sets the default
value in the dialog the user still has to confirm.

Amazon store: improved icons

As always created by Fabi. Thanks agein. :-)

>From his description of changes:
"OK Finally I'm ready. the emblem is now the same as the 16x16 Icon and all
icons are new with KDE Oxygen colors and the card Icon so you can see that
its a store attaches 3 pictures from amarok so you can see its eyefriendlier
on dark colors. so far - I Hope you like it and if something is wrong I will
fix it"

Note: I had to remove the icon cache at
/var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/icon-cache.kcache
to make them show up. Maybe that trick is needed for you, too. ;-)

Jeff Mitchell committed changes in [attica] /:

Warning: Non-*ABI* compatible commit. You must rebuild KDE plugins after
updating or you might/will experience crashes. API compatible.

This commit:

1) Adds the ability for applications using attica as a library to pass
flags to the provider manager, notably to disable plugin loading so that
deterministic QtPlatformDependent behavior can be used.

2) Updates the PlatformDependent API to add a setNam call to allow
setting a custom QNetworkAccessManager.

3) Implements setting/getting QNAMs in the ProviderManager in a
thread-safe way. QNetworkAccessManager is not thread-safe and so using
the same QNAM across multiple threads can result in crashes if one of
them is deleted, most notably because it takes ownership of a
QNetworkProxyFactory object so simply passing in a proxyfactory is not
good enough.
