OBS: samba also implements the cifs protocol, the sucessor of SMB and the current default protocol used in Win7. So "SMB Shares" is also not a good name. - Lamarque Vieira --- This is an automatically generated e-mail.

Hello...
Hello everyone,
I am developing a plasmoid called Workflow, the project's webpage can be
found here:
http://opentoolsandspace.org/en/projects/development/plasmoid-workflow
I'd love to have your feedback, as I have a deadline in my head for the
first version
mid-of September. The pieces are starting to get into place, it's almost
usable right now
but until now I have faced the following issues, I am developing it in
KDE 4.8.4 at opensuse
1) I am using the following code to remove an activity:
void ActivityManager::remove(QString id) {
ActivityManager::stop(id);
Plasma::Service *service = plasmaActEngine->serviceForSource(id);
KConfigGroup op = service->operationDescription("remove");
op.writeEntry("Id", id);
Plasma::ServiceJob *job = service->startOperationCall(op);
connect(job, SIGNAL(finished(KJob*)), service, SLOT(deleteLater()));
}
plasmaActEngine is org.kde.activities,
the behavior is that the activity is not removed from the dataengine,
there is a ghost activity
in the dataengine that doesnt have some fields, name, icon etc...
In order for someone to delete it completely the user must use the
ActivityManager or make
a logout/login
2) The plasmoid is developed as a PopupApplet in order to be able to be
placed in a panel,
I have tried many things but I can not restore the plasmoid in its
previous used size after a logout/login,
the popupapplet changes the DialogWidth,DialogHeight properties
correctly in the plasmoids settings
but after a logout/login the plasmoid remains in its default size.
3) I have tried to find a way to clone an activity through the plasmoid
but I did not have any success.
I have seen that the ActivitiesEngine, in plasma/desktop/shell, is using
class PlasmaApp for most of the
operations and not the dataengine, Is there a way to use PlasmaApp also?
or in the future cloning an activity
is going to be supported through the dataengine?
Thanks a lot everyone,
Michail

--- This is an automatically generated e-mail. To reply, visit: http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/105318/#review14969 --- I don't really know if we should do this.. I do understand why you want to rename it. From a user point of view the user probably wants to either access windows shares or make shares accessible for windows. Either way, it's done through Samba which implements the SMB protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block so it are actually "SMB Shares" ;) Changing it is not really useful i think. I for example make "Samba shares" between Linux machines as well since that is just easy and why should those be called "Windows Shares" all of a sudden? I think "Samba Shares" is just fine. Perhaps "SMB Shares" describes it even better. I'm not against the change, but also not in favor. Someone else should decide whether this is OK or not. - Mark Gaiser On June 21, 2012, 3:40 p.m., Maarten De Meyer wrote: > > --- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
