This Week...

Amarok can now read & save .asx playlists, becomes power-management aware: it can inhibit automatic system suspend and pause on resume (configurable); reads playlist files asynchronously when possible. A new simple template to create a Plasma applet with Plasma QML components. Skrooge adds monthly reports and the main page uses the general font of KDE. Kdenlive adds reverse clip to clip actions. KWin sees big code re-organizations: splits out screen handling from Workspace into own class Screens and Activities related code out from Workspace. Work on Calligra COffice continues.

IMAP: make GMail happy when invoking ESEARCH

There's currently a bug in GMail's implementation of the ESEARCH command where
they don't correctly handle the SEARCH command with an empty return
specification ("RETURN ()") which the RFC mandates to be equivalent to "RETURN
(ALL)".

I've already reported that to Google and Brandon has promised a fix. Our users
can also add ESEARCH to the blacklisted capabilities in order to make it work,
but this is far from being easily discoverable. Let's waste these three bytes
until GMail rolls out a release with a proper fix -- this is a major
interoperability issue which prevents even basic mailbox resynchronization, so
it's worth the effort IMHO.

Split out screen handling from Workspace into own class Screens

Following the approaches of other split out functionality Screens is a
singleton class created by Workspace.

The class takes over the responsibility for:
* screenChanged signal delayed by timer
* number of screens
* geometry of given screen
* active screen
* config option for active screen follows mouse

The class contains a small abstraction layer and has a concrete subclass
wrapping around QDesktopWidget, but the idea is to go more low level and
interact with XRandR directly to get more detailed information.

All over KWin the usage from QDesktopWidget is ported over to the new
Screens class.

Dominik Haumann committed changes in [kate] /:

remove keep highlighting feature

ok, we're back to where we came from, but hopefully better:
- the floating notification is now very short, 3 seconds
- the floating notification is removed when hiding the search&replace bar
- hiding the search & replace bar removes the highlighting

That means: if you want to keep the highlighting, just don't close the
search & replace bar.

Hopefully, this is simple, clean and predictive.

Alex Merry committed changes in [kde-runtime] plasma/scriptengines/javascript/plasmoid/themedsvg.cpp:

Allow plasmoids to provide fallbacks for themed images

This adds an extra step to the lookup of SVG images created with the
Svg() global function: after looking in images/ in the plasmoid and then
in the desktop theme, it looks in theme/$DESKTOP_THEME_NAME and then
theme/ in the plasmoid.

This allows plasmoid authors to add images that they want to allow theme
authors to override.

Allow Rich Text in QML notifications plasmoid Allow Rich Text in QML Notification plasmoid

This matches behaviour of the notifications in 4.9 which used QLabel
It fixes a problem where we would see notifications with   > in the body as we deliberately try and keep formatting the same and be HTML safe.

Jörg Ehrichs committed changes in [nepomuk-webminer] /:

Add Whitelist for the metadata lookup

Instead of a lookup over all known files in nepomuk the user can enable
a whitlist selection and allow the automatic background lookup to be
restricted to only those files.

The default is to lookup all files.
The manual lookup is not influenced by the whitelist.

Martin Klapetek committed changes in [libkpeople] /:

Add a way to construct a query using flags

This allows us to pseudo-dynamically construct a query from prepared
"features", so each client app can ask for things it really wants/needs,
for example only contacts with email addresses, only IM contacts with
avatars etc. Another set of flags sets optional features (equals to
OPTIONAL {...} in SparQL), which retrieves contacts that both have and
not have the selected feature, eg. avatars (some contacts don't have
avatars, but we still want to have them in the list).

Add a plugin to move through layers, changing visibility and group pos

This plugin adds two actions

"LayerGroupSwitcher/next

without default shortcuts for now. The actions activate the layer above
or below the current layer with two twists:

* the current active layer is made invisible, and the activated layer
is made visible

* if you're in a group layer, the group is made invisible, the next
or previous group is made visible and if there is a layer inside the
newly activated group at that index is activated.

Add VIEW indent to enable resume/start with documents.

This registers Coffice in Android for ODT mimetypes. From
now on when executing a ODT file Coffice will be offered
as choice to open that ODT file with.

It also makes resume proper working. That means if Coffice
was suspended by Android it will resume now with the
previous displayed document (but not the proper flickable
contentX/contentY yet).

While on it I also fixed a stupid typo in KUrl that
resulted in an infinite loop and made openFile assume
it operates on local files. Still missing is proper
error-handling to display that/what went wrong when
loading. To do for later.

with a checkable action letting the user to change the behavior of
the editor when it selects a password entry.

The menu is displayed by long clicking the respective buttons. If
"always show contents" is checked, then the editor will show password
contents right away. No need to click "show contents".

The corresponding setting is put into the rc file so it'll be restored
upon kwalletmanager restart.

Optimization

Educational

Aleix Pol Gonzalez committed changes in [analitza] /:

Optimize calculation of expressions

Right now, we were copying the elements whenever we found a scalar in an
expression. Now we know if it's a value and (only) in those cases we use
the same value. (Cn::copy calls were reduced to 1/3)

This optimization happens because it was detected as one of the problems
when calculating some expression Percy needs for his new 3D plotting
system.

After this change, the execution time of his unit test is about 20% faster.

Aleix Pol Gonzalez committed changes in [analitza] analitza/operations.cpp:

Don't assume we will be changing the format of the values

This saves 5% of runtime and it's not very useful (for printing, at most)
and most cases are still valid.

Biggie: PlaylistFile refactoring, code deduplication, asynchronous loading

FEATURES:
* Playlist files are now read asynchronously when possible; patch and great
deal of refactoring by Tatjana Gornak.

Original description:
I've started my changes with an implementation of a ASXPlaylist class,
due this work I've found that implementation of different playlist file
types has different logic, as result I end up with a rewriting
playlist's implementations.

As example of difference:
- Constructor M3UPlaylist::M3UPlaylist( const KUrl &url ) sets a url,
but does not load playlist, therefore loading of playlist are
postponed till data from playlist are actualy needed (lazy loading)
On the other hand constructor XSPFPlaylist::XSPFPlaylist( const KUrl
&url, bool autoAppend ) loads playlist.

The main idea of proposed changes is to create a unify code for
processing playlist files:
- lazy loading
- common functionality was moved to PlaylistFile.

Split out Activities related code from Workspace

All activities related code moves into new singleton class Activities.
This class gets only included into the build if the build option is
enabled which means there are less ifdefs all over the code and it also
handles better the moc doesn't like ifdef case.

The class holds the list of open and all activites, the current and the
previous activity and the KActivities::Controller. It also emits the
signals for any activities related changes.

Workspace still contains some activities related code. That is the
adjustment on change of current activity. Nevertheless the code looks
much cleaner now and does not contain the confusing naming conflict with
takeActivity() which existed before.

In all the places where Activities got used the code got adjusted and
quite often the ifdef got added with a fallback for the disabled case.
