Since we're not talking about Harbour software, you can still explicitly pull them in. They might go away some day, but there's no immediate need for doing that. Alternative is to switch to other methods, e.g. dbus-send or more specific command line tools. Mcetool for example can tell the battery state among other things.

[SailfishDevel] Removing libcontextkit-statefs-qt5.so from allowed libraries
Hello, As you might have noticed, we've been lately migrating away from the Statefs based ContextKit API implementation. The QML interface already got rewritten in 3.3.0 as a simpler version that doesn't need a background daemon [1]. Ideally, and hopefully, applications using that module should keep working as they used to. Alas, it didn't all go without glitches: the Jolla phone, tablet and SDK are depending on bluez4 packages and a dependency problem related to that slipped through the cracks [2]. It's fixed now and if we end up doing a bug fix release for 3.3.0, that should be included there. What's been remaining is the c++ library, libcontextkit-statefs-qt5.so, which is about to be removed from the allowed libraries [3]. Based on our checks on Store app dependencies, that shouldn't affect too many. We found only two applications from a single developer and have contacted him. The usage on those didn't either seem too hard to migrate to QML or other API. So all in all it hasn't appeared worth it providing a c++ compatibility library for this little use. This as heads up. Please comment if you have any concerns.

Maliit-server acts as a host for input plugins, and Jolla-keyboard implements such and has the qml parts. The content is drawn in a separate window, and Lipstick handles the window composition. Maliit passes the used keyboard area to application via the qt input plugin so the app knows which area to avoid for active content, and maliit also sets the window properties so Lipstick knows which area of the window should get mouse events. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org

Sorry, but officially you cannot at the moment. Unofficially there's /usr/share/jolla-settings/entries/ dir including .json files for defining the settings hierachy, pointing to some qml file to use for each entry. Not public / harbour allowed because it would allow too much permissions for third party apps, and we haven't gotten around to implement more secure alternatives, e.g. more restricted declarative page file format or process isolation for different qml pages. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org

[SailfishDevel] Notice on Sailfish OS sharing API
Hello, The internal sharing API got some changes in 2.2.0 for supporting account icons in sharing method list. If you have plugins compiled against older version of the operating system, they can cause the sharing engine to crash and sharing method list showing only 'add account' option. As this is currently not supported 3rd party API, the issue does not affect software downloaded from Jolla store, but might happen with e.g. openrepos. If you are affected, check /usr/lib/nemo-transferengine/plugins/ for 3rd party plugins and either uninstall the relevant applications, remove the plugins manually, or update the external plugins to versions targeting 2.2.0. If you are a developer and your application includes a sharing plugin, then rebuilding it against the 2.2.0 SDK will fix it (though you should also add an application icon so it looks nice in the list). Also update dependency in .spec file to: nemotransferengine-qt5 >= 0.3.1 Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Pekka Vuorela & development team ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org

Linux desktop and Sailfish OS are kind of mutually exclusive things in the sense the Sailfish provides a home screen, i.e. "desktop". Gkt+ applications could perhaps be possible, but not necessarily an API that is going to get official support. Also desktop applications and widget sets don't likely work nicely on a small mobile device as they have not been commonly developed with finger usability in mind. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org

Original Maliit reference plugin was developed for Nokia N9, I was the lead developer for that. On Jolla I wanted to do more QML centric one, based on lessons learned on original Maliit keyboard and another virtual keyboard at Nokia. Ubuntu keyboard went another way and continued from the old code base, think it was also made public after Jolla keyboard had proceeded a lot. > Now, I do wonder what is the long term plan with the keyboard > development?

Each OS in question has their own styling, but that seems > to be possible to apply on top. Not sure if it would be worth much redoing Jolla UI on top of another plugin. Would make the base more complex by requiring extendability of different things. What matters more is ability to reuse different input method engines on different keyboards. While not being too familiar with the current state of maliit-keyboard project, I'd expect it to be somewhat easy anyway. Qml can reuse list model regardless of api elsewhere. For integrating input to jolla-keyboard it's mostly just implementing handler functions for key press/release/click. For general western input that is currently little over 100 lines, some more for updating layout geometry to the prediction engine. > Its not trivial to compile the latest Maliit on SFOS (they switched > to CMake based builds and few cmake configs are missing in SFOS right > now), but I expect that its possible with some effort.

If CMake modules make sense on other projects then PRs welcome (some already packaged). If for keyboard you want to have ability to tinker and use a different one then just go ahead :) Maliit framework supports also having multiple plugins, but on Sailfish we've relied on just using the single one that is found, multiple ones might trigger code that hasn't been much tested for a while. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org

Is this possible? Doesn't sound feasible. Keyboard and application are different processes and keyboard is able to only request text actions. QInputMethod, which the text component receives, doesn't have support for changing font except some formatting options for preedit (= active, underlined word).

What we've added has been done with the aim to have it mixing nicely with existing fonts, sometimes making small adjustments here and there.

At the moment EnterKey doesn't allow to filter out the click event and
indeed Keys attached property doesn't work on Silica editors. Could look
into both, but not sure if that would be too high priority.
First, the virtual keyboard sends key events only on few cases: enter
and backspace when no word is active (i.e. underlined). Second, shift
modifier is not supported on either. And even if shift would be passed,
that as user interface would require multitouch, which doesn't sound
like a good idea.

Predictive text input doesn't play that nicely with validator. You could
try adding

No plans and I don't think this would be among the most important third party interfaces. If you think otherwise, you could perhaps create a t.j.c item.

There the QML file side does have BSD licenses on files. Rationale being to allow application developers taking snippets of code when using provided elements directly is not enough for some reason. I don't think we have a precedent of merging contributions there, though.

User session picks up the locale values (that is, LANG at the moment set) from /var/lib/environment/nemo/locale.conf But having different locale categories working properly is not that simple. String translations are also used for date/time patterns, Qt knows only one system locale, etc. Acknowledged that some people want this, though. > Should I publish the patches here or is that considered unacceptable > behavior on this list?

The window remains fullscreen, but ApplicationWindow resizes its content to avoid keyboard area. Keyboard area is available from Qt.inputMethod.keyboardRectangle, but that is updated only once when animation starts. While it's possible to anchor things to be shown under the keyboard, at the moment I think it needs to access internal properties of ApplicationWindow. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org

How can I > clear the prediction in the text field, too? Ideally this should be working without any extra steps. Testing a bit I noticed a couple bugs: Qt doesn't reset input if new text content is the same as previous without considering prediction. And setting text doesn't now properly remove predicted text from input context, getting then reinserted if user moves cursor just after text is set. Otherwise seems to be working. If you want to work around, you can do Qt.inputMethod.commit() before setting the new text content. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list

Haptic support for some more components may come, but if such happens to Button, we should at minimum give some warning beforehand, or then make it opt-in with a property. Then again for calculator kind of key pad, I'd myself prefer something else than a Button.

I assume you are here talking about Sailfish keyboard. It's layout
system is its own. Maliit only covers lower levels for communicating
with the application, hosting keyboard plugins, etc. Thus removed rest
of the mailing lists.
Dead key support exists and is used for italian, spanish and polish
keyboards at the moment. However, on those there's a single character
that's used with the dead key, e.g. "e" -> "é".
What you ask is more difficult, e could become é, è, ê or ë. As
conventional dead key that would require four buttons. French layout has
space for maybe two more buttons, but then it's a compromise whether to
have larger buttons or cover part of the accents.
