Re: StackFolder graphical glitches
Hi Andreas, I tested the latest stackfolder code and ran into some graphical glitches: Text color is now taken from scheme but has no glow which makes it hard to read. Also a highlighting would make sense. I compared the stackfolder plasmoid to the folderview plasmoid in the following screenshot to show what i mean: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/11/02/text.png I agree with you would be better if highlight shows on hover. Now it appears and switches by arrow keys. But i don't know how glow implement and is it worth doing in QML. Also the control panel icon size is slightly off as this screenshot demonstrates: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/11/02/iconsize.png I found that folderview has fixed icon size. It doesn't resize when panel change height/width. Maybe that's why they have different sizes? Thanks for your suggestions!

Re: Moving applet to review group
Hi, Nicolas! regarding licencing, i doubt you can use GPLV3+ when you use GPLV2+ KDE code. We can change licence. Will GPLV2+ be good? Ural ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

Hi all! What have I to do to move StackFolder applet from Playground to Review and then to Module group? Have I to post Review Request? Regards, Ural Mullabaev Rosa Laboratory www.rosalab.com ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

You have to open a sysadmin request (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_sysadmin_request.cgi) asking for moving the applet from playground to kdereview. Many thanks Luca!

Re: Stackfolder inclusion to 4.10 [attempt#2]
Hi Andreas! Much more readable now, great. Still it should obey the theme text color which is black instead of while. See sebas suggestion: I set color for text from theme. And I detected black font with shadow too dark on the light background. I had to switch off shadows. Another feature suggestion: It would be utterly cool to start typing and filter the files like e.g. the Takeoff plasmoid does: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=144078 Good idea! But I think it's too late to implement now, we'll consider to the next development cycle Funny, we have applet SimpleWelcome look like this) Regards, Ural Mullabaev Rosa Laboratory www.rosalab.com ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
Re: Stackfolder inclusion to 4.10 [attempt#2]
Hi Andreas! I would also suggest to give the label text at least some shadows since the current white is somewhat hard to read: I've added shadows for items text using QGraphicsDropShadowEffect. Resizing popup window to contents of folder is our feature. [...] I think, we can make special version for KDE. I do not quite understand. Does this mean, that stack folders are a unique feature of your distro? At least the animated version? I meant we can add some option/parameter to switch behavior of popup window during folder changing. In our distro it will hide/show and resize window to fit contents, in KDE - keep size.

Re: Stackfolder inclusion to 4.10 [attempt#2]
Hi Martin! I just tried it and I quite like it, nice work! I have few suggestions for improvements - first of all don't hide and show the popup when you change folder, I wasn't sure what's happening when I clicked some folder in it, I thought Dolphin is being opened and then suddenly the same popup but different size showed up. So keep the popup visible all the time and don't change the size, keep it to some sane default. Resizing popup window to contents of folder is our feature. And hiding/showing popup window smooths resizing effect during folders changing. To open selected folder in the Dolphin you should press Alt-Enter or click on button on the right top corner. If it will be needed, I think, we can make special version for KDE. The scrollbar actually work the other way around - dragging it up scrolls down, dragging down scrolls up. That's inconsistent with the rest of the whole desktop. It isn't scrollbar, it's more like indicator of visible area. I agree with you it needs to be reworked to the standard scrollbar. Also there's this project called Homerun which implements exactly this and it works quite nicely, even with breadcrumb navigation. Maybe you can contact Aurelien, the author, and share code/collaborate in the development? Here's the project: https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/homerun Thank you for your suggestions! We will consider them.

Stackfolder inclusion to 4.10 [attempt#2]
Hi Aaron and Marco! I fixed the problems which you specified the last time: - icon decreasing on the panel (attachment - smallicon.png); - empty popup dialog (now it should show correctly) And also I changed path to the qml contents to prefix/plasma/packages/org.kde.stackfolder. Now what else do I need to do to enter StackFolder in KDE 4.10? I remind that StackFolder is an independent applet and placed in a playground repo (https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/stackfolder). Originally StackFolder is a fork of FolderView applet, that was redesigned to look like MacOS X Stask utility. It allow to browse the stack of folders and quick access to files and also may interact with another Rosa's utility - Klook to preview a wide range types of files (including playing video and audio). For the time being the GUI part of code is rewritten on QML. And recently we reworked StackFolder to PopupApplet. Now StackFolder has little in common with the FolderView.

There is one version in the repo only. It is based on c++ plasmoid and has graphic interface ported to QML.

Only those you wish to include in the official KDE Software releases, you can have as many other/independent applets in playground as you want without posting to reviewboard, although generally if you plan to eventually include some piece of software in the release, it's good to post to reviewboard from the beginning, it's better for developers to review small parts of code/iterations than reviewing larger codebase. Could you remind me when will new devel cycle be opened? It should be soon (~1 month?), you can find the general release plans here: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules -- the next cycle (4.10) is not yet there, but judging from past years, the soft feature freeze starts near the end of October, so any new features you'd like to include in the release should be ready to be committed by then.
