Hello :) I would like to ask for some review on the new "share" dataengine for plasma (in kdeplasma-addons module). This dataengine is meant to replace the old pastebin dataengine that is very limited.
The new one uses Kross to be able to load scripted "providers" that are basically interfaces to share services like imageshack, pastebin.com and others. The ability to be scriptable will allow integration with GHNS and enable the download of more providers what, right now, is impossible as it's not plugin based (which means that everytime there is an update in one of the APIs or one user requests support for a new provider he should wait for the next KDE release to have that =/ ). The idea is to provide common functionality to the providers and let the script define the URL of the service, the parse of the result and detect if that is an error as it's different from service to service. There is no plasmoid integrated with that yet (besides the very simple one that I used to test the dataengine) but as soon as it is approved I'll start to migrate the current pastebin plasmoid to the new dataengine. The new dataengine is also more useful in the sense that supports different mimetypes and because of that more plasmoids and applications will make use of that from my point of view. Thanks and best regards, Artur _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
