This Week...

KDevelop sees work on making it possible to select compiler at run-time. KScreen KCM has been ported to KF5. Plasma applets can be dragged both from/to panel and desktop and between different screens. Trojita improves message sorting and recovers better after a connection loss. Skrooge supports defered credit card management.

Bug Fixes

KDE Base

Marco Martin committed changes in [plasma-desktop] applets/pager/plugin/pager.cpp:

don't reset the desktop model when windows change

many less unneeded resets and items recreation
the broken tooltip was a curious sideeffect of it

Michael Pyne committed changes in [kcoreaddons] /:

kaboutdata: Move license-related KAboutData enums to KAboutLicense.

In addition to the above, removes a deprecated ctor (and supporting
autotests), and code which was deprecated since KDE4.
I have added an apidox porting note mentioning K4AboutData (the
preferred compatibility route) to compensate.

Another change from the reviewed patch was to correct comments in the
apidox and mention K4AboutData in the class apidox.

ack'ed by ervin. See RR for full description. All tests pass here.

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in [plasma-framework] src/declarativeimports/core/windowthumbnail.cpp:

Do not overwrite event mask in WindowThumbnailItem

The WindowThumbnail needs XCB_EVENT_MASK_STRUCTURE_NOTIFY on the window.
For this it needs to change the window attributes. But it needs to keep
the existing event mask to not break other code. Also it cannot remove
the event mask again, as there is no chance to know whether another
component requires STRUCTURE_NOTIFY.

This fixes the not updating items in the tasks applet as the event mask
needed for KWindowSystem got overwritten.

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in [plasma-framework] /declarativeimports/core:

[declarative/core] Use proper GLXFBConfig for glxpixmap

We need to use a GLXFBConfig which matches the depth of the window
pixmap's depth. So far it used the GLXFBConfig of the GL context.
This worked fine for RGBA windows, but failed for RGB windows on e.g.
some NVIDIA drivers.

After this change the FBConfig of the context is completely ignored,
instead it tries to find a good FBConfig for a given depth.

Whenever a FBConfig for a given depth is found it's inserted in a
cache shared between all WindowThumbnails so that we don't have the
X roundtrips all the time.

Vishesh Handa committed changes in [baloo/KDE/4.13] src/xapian/xapiandatabase.cpp:

Sebastian Kügler committed changes in [plasma-desktop] applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffItem.qml:

Reset currentItem in ListViews correctly

Without this patch, all items (apps, actions, etc.) would keep selection
state until someone else "steals" it. The problem is that in many cases,
it's not the mouse position that matters which item gets activated, but
the currently selected item in a given listview.

Adding an onExited handler to the onEntered handler fixes this, and thus
the bug that in some cases, the wrong app gets started.

Aleix Pol Gonzalez committed changes in [plasma-workspace] /:

Improve predictability of plasma-shell screen id's

So far we were just enforcing that 0 would be the primary screen. After
this change we will make sure that the rest are layed out horizontally and
then vertically if there's a 2 at the same position.
If a new screen is connected, we'll try to put it in the correct position
following the described situation.

Eike Hein committed changes in [plasma-desktop] applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FavoritesView.qml:

Fix various bugs in favorites DND.

- Fix generally incorrect drop target viz positioning and when
the view is scrolled.
- Fix drop row calculation when the view is scrolled.
- Don't offer no-op drops into adjacent slots.
- Some additional safety checks.

Frank Reininghaus committed changes in [kde-baseapps/KDE/4.13] dolphin/src/kitemviews/kfileitemmodel.cpp:

Stop listing children of collapsed folders

Before this patch, KDirLister would continue listing any children of
collapsed folders, even though the children themselves were removed
from the model. This could lead to new items being inserted as
top-level items at some later point, because no parent could be found
for them. This inconsistent model state could lead to a crash later on.

Many thanks to Martin Koller for helping to debug this problem!

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

Do not set a custom format on QQuickWindows

All QQuickWindows share a default format. By setting a custom format
it overwrites the default and this results in a format without a
stencil buffer being requested resulting in possible rendering errors.

This was used to get an alpha buffer. Instead use the static method
on QQuickWindow to request an alpha buffer.

Sebastian Kügler committed changes in [plasma-workspace] applets/digital-clock/contents/ui/DigitalClock.qml:

Improve digital clock's alignment in the panel

Two things, to improve the balance of the digiclock in a horizontal panel:
- Set the label's height to paintedHeight, this helps a bit in using a
balanced horizontal center line
- Give it a bit of spacing top and bottom to not look cramped vertically

KDE-PIM

Jonathan Marten committed changes in [kdepimlibs] akonadi/tagmodel_p.cpp:

Fix tag data not being updated by a TagModifyJob

TagModelPrivate::monitoredTagChanged() is called as expected,
but in the case where the tag is not being reparented (the
usual case), the new tag is not copied back into the parent's
mChildTags list. This means that TagModel::data() still accesses
the old tag via tagForIndex() and hence does not reflect the
change.

Fix reporting libgphoto2 errors via KIO

KIO::ERR_COULD_NOT_READ expects the error message parameter to be
the file that could not be read. Instead an error message from
libgphoto2 was given. Using KIO::ERR_SLAVE_DEFINED instead allows to
report the libgphoto error as part of the error message.

Example from before: Could not read file Bad parameters.
Example from after: Could not read. Reason: Bad parameters

Matěj Laitl committed changes in [amarok] /:

CollectionBrowser: do not expand tree needlessly

The reasons were 2:
* we were adding every collection to m_expandedCollections all the
time, which then resulted in their expansion in each slotFilter()
* we were doing auto-expansion even in cases where collection was
updated, not just when user typed something

(fixed in is still 2.9 for consistency with earlier commits)

Check if the mpris metadata are actually new

It may happen that players emit the "PropertiesChanged" signal several
times during the playback (as for example player's features change)
which normally results in re-setting the same presence. So here's a
check preventing setting the same thing over and over again.

Aleix Pol Gonzalez committed changes in [kdevplatform] /appwizard:

Add a project name validation in the project creation dialog

This patch adds a regex validation for the project name in the project creation dialog. The user can break KDevelop with an abnormal project name. The first attempt was to add a general regex, but this would be to static. So the idea and the following implementation is:

- If the project template file, for example 'cmake_plaincpp.kdevtemplate', provides a 'ValidProjectName' value, this value will be used. This value is a normal regex. For example 'ValidProjectName=^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]+$' is a valid configuration
- If there is no 'ValidProjectName' value, kdevplatform will use a normal regex, in this case '^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]+$'. With this fallback mode we can guarantee, that templates without a 'ValidProjectName' also have a validation.

If this patch gets accepted I will add this configuration to the templates provided by KDevelop. I will also write a (bigger) patch to add these feature in KAppTemplate - if wished.

kde-info2html: get the shared resource dir instead of the (useless) image path

- the third argument of kde-info2html has not been used for ages. It was
originally to be used for the path of images, but it was soon replaced
by the current code which uses help:/... to find the images. Remove it
and the usage of KIconLoader.
- on the other side the usage of kde4-config to get the path for the shared
css is wrong, and kf5-config is in kdelibs4support (deprecated and higher
tier). So find the shared directory in the kio code and recycle the third
argument of the script for this purpose.

Ubuntu: MessageListPage sorting

This patch makes the Listview load dynamically and force the view
to respect the user sorting prefs on each load. Triggering a
timer while the listview is populating, this benefits in that
we only sort the view once per view instead of using rowsInserted or like,
and reduce unneeded calls to.

The user can also switch sort order from the toolbar and if changed
the user sort order preference will be respected when going between
mailbox's.

Real Soon Now has turned into 7 years...

umbrello/petaltree2uml.{h,cpp}
- Start fleshing out function handleControlledUnit - tested so far only
using .cat file, not .sub file.
- Remove duplicated function names in texts at uDebug() / uError()
- At function petalTree2Uml add optional bool argument requireDesign
defaulting to true. If requireDesign is false then:
- Do not check for root->name() == "Design"
- Do not attempt root->findAttribute("root_category"); instead, set
root_category to root directly.
- Do not call umldoc->setCurrentRoot(), the current root was already set
by the loadFromMDL call on the .mdl file (with requireDesign = true.)
- Do not call importView() for the UseCase, Component, or Deployment view.

umbrello/import_rose.{h,cpp}
- At function loadFromMDL add optional bool argument requireDesign
defaulting to true. Pass requireDesign into call to petalTree2Uml.

Performance Improvementes

Thomas Lübking sent a few weeks ago a patch proposing some fixes to
KBounce's performance issues, most of them related to intese CPU usage
due unecessary calls to the game renderer.

This commit is enormous because I added some extra code on top of Thomas
work. What I did:

Changed to static the access modifier of the renderer shared by all
KBounceWall instances.

Created a new static method for reloading the sprites of a wall. This
method is called during each resize but also after a theme change.

Thomas didn't see spot that bug thus after a theme change the wall kept
being painted with the sprite used in the previous theme.

Thomas's work is better explained in the Review Board entry referenced
below.
