Review request for Plasma and Marco Martin.


Description

'Screen Locker' sounds wrong, a locker is something you keep your books at 
school in.

'Lock Screen' is currently frequently used in English on phones and is also 
used by Gnome Shell for their screensaver replacement.

Sorry, I just saw this.

I'm sure we can find you something - do you want openSUSE 11.2 on it or will I 
just leave it to you to install?

What KUIT tags are you using in the i18n'ed strings? Some @info KUIT markup 
adds rich text for use in actions which looks weird in a widget not expecting 
it.

If you do this, it should be in a structured way, so that we get a proper tree 
of Plasma objects with access to their properties eg

$ qdbus org.kde.plasma-desktop

/
/Plasma/
/Plasma/Containments
/Plasma/Containments/0
/Plasma/Containments/0/Applets
/Plasma/Containments/0/Applets/0
/Plasma/Containments/1/Applets
/Plasma/Corona
...

And there somewhere on the org.kde.Plasma.Panel interface exposed by 
/Plasma/Containments/0 you would have the setVisible(bool) method that you're 
asking for.  

Wouldn't that be a nice GSoC project?

Netbook Reference

2010-03-12 Thread Will Stephenson 
I've fixed the branding (all upstream now), the keymap question on boot and 
the low disk space notification popup on login.  

I have a problem with wireless (iwl3945) that the module needs to be removed 
and reinserted before wireless works.  Not sure why this happens, the vanilla 
image does not have this problem.

Other plasma-netbook specific things I noticed: 
* The fullscreen dialog from the opendesktop.org plasmoid is still there and 
annoying.
* At 1024x768 the activities bar is so wide that the part of the panel with 
the window title/close plasmoid is off the right edge of the screen
* I need to package and include an up to date Network Management plasmoid.

It's not a Live CD, it's a disk image - changes are persistent.  And you're 
right, it goes away after logout/login.

I've changed that link to the download.opensuse.org link which is a mirror and 
does not require a login.  Users only need an OBS login to start changing 
things.  Note that the main KDE:Netbook project has a short list of 
developers; new contributors should use the branch and submit request method 
of contributing their changes for review.

You know that anything you can do in the plasmoid won't make a hair of 
difference to the business end of how the VPN connections appear on the bus to 
NetworkManager and whether or not they work.

As Reinhold is already using knetworkmanager and is taking a critical user's 
stance in his blogs, telling him about a new UI that is not yet production 
ready and doesn't resolve the underlying issue is not likely impress him, 
whereas as a hacker he might be distracted by the new shiny.  

Let's get on with fixing things.

And you'll notice that Amarok just workarounded this bug by delaying the 
QWebView instantiation from the applet ctor to the applet's init() function, 
which I presume is then after the 'QWidget view' is setup.

As a sanity check, is switching between netbook and desktop workspaces a use 
case that is important enough to spend effort on it?

A) Netbook users who just want one interface that works well.

B) Netbook users who want to use p-d with an external monitor

C) Netbook users who primarily use p-n but are curious about p-d

D) Developers and testers who sometimes use p-n on non-netbook machines 

At a guess the first group is the largest and the later groups are much 
smaller.

All great features, but you should look at  
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Plasma/ScreenManagement
http://aike.me/site/blog/20090407/multihead_in_kde_422
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/libs/kephal/
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/screenmanagement/

This was already the subject of a GSoC project in 2008, which was successful 
but stopped short of applying policies to restore previous configuration, 
doing KNotifications or events or providing UI to edit configurations.

KRandR is a separate codebase which Lubos Lunak updated for 4.4 with some SUSE 
patches to launch an improved version of the KRandR KCM, and does not use 
Kephal.

I feel the same itch as you do and have spent the last couple of days getting 
into the Kephal code - it's been hardly touched since 2008 and could do with a 
clean up, so I'll see how far I get with it over the weekend.  

Aaron, do you think there's another GSoC project in completing Kephal?

I know the disper tool tries to abstract both systems, but haven't used it.

Distro/driver is not important; the multiscreen features discussed above are 
simply missing even with a perfect driver/distro combination.

The intel driver can cause this behaviour, since contemporary releases of 
different distros ship different X servers *and* different intel drivers, and 
intel's feature set varies from release to release.  The intel driver in the 
openSUSE 11.2 build of Plasma Netbook Reference Platform is especially bad at 
detecting the correct native monitor resolution from the EDID.

Aike, could you shed some light on this question?  Or Aaron, if you have the 
overview of how Kephal works from mentoring Aike?

Björn's description matches the xrandr model, but not the Kephal one.  Xrandr 
1.3 has a single Screen numbered 0 but does not support additional Screens; 
xrandr Screens are distinct from the screennumber in X's $DISPLAY, and 
multiple Screen support is being discussed again for xrandr 1.4 according to 
one of our local Xorg guys.

Kephal has both multiple Outputs and multiple Screens in its model.  A screen 
owns zero or more Outputs, But it also seems that one Screen per output is 
created, looking at the usage of Kephal in KRunner, Plasma and KWin, which 
iterate, because they iterate the screens, react to screen added/removed 
signals, and use screen ids for panel and popup placement.  If this is the 
case I'm not sure why there are both Screens and Outputs.   Perhaps it's 
future-proofing for when xrandr supports multiple Screens.  But if that is 
true, I don't know why Plasma and KWin react to Screen changes but not Output 
changes.

I didn't say anything, just pointing out Aike's prototype UI plasmoid.  I

+1, and this is where KDE really falls behind the competition now that fewer

This is what Kephal set out to do, has code for but does not actually achieve

I think that should be possible using Kephal's Output class.  Can you point me

Note, I've just committed a fundamental reorganisation of the Kephal sources 
to make the code easier to understand.  The build result is the same though.

I've started to add some API docs and notes as I work through the code and get 
my head around it.

Review Request: Stop using oxygen as a theme element fallback before 'default' (Air)

2010-05-07 Thread Will Stephenson

Review request for Plasma.


Summary
---

If a user starts Plasma on a machine where the configured desktop theme is not 
available, a fallback is used for each element.  If the theme is completely 
missing, default fallbacks, in order "oxygen" and "default" are used.  This 
means that Oxygen elements are used in preference to Air elements.  With common 
configurations, this results in black text on the black/dark Oxygen elements, 
which is unusable.

This patch removes oxygen from the fallbacks, leaving "default" (Air).  Since 
both oxygen and air are installed by kdebase-workspace they are equally likely 
to be present.

Wallpaper plugins in default rendering mode

2010-07-29 Thread Will Stephenson 
I've been looking at a bug in the Image plugin where dropping an image file
on the desktop when the Image wallpaper plugin is not in use causes Image to
start up in Slideshow mode.  This is because Containment tries to set the
default rendering mode using an empty string, whereas Image's logic falls
through to Slideshow if the mode is empty.

The documentation for
Plasma::Wallpaper::setRenderingMode( const QString & mode) says that /mode/
should be "One of the modes supported by the plugin, or an empty string for
the default mode".

Should Plasma::Wallpaper::setRenderingMode() discover
the wallpaper's default mode and set it explicitly, if an empty string is
passed?  Or should each wallpaper plugin's logic be written to treat an
empty renderingMode().name() as its default
mode?

Bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245606

Monkey patch to
Image:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=bko245606_no_slides
how_for_dnd_image_wallpaper.diff&package=kdebase4-workspace&project=KDE:Distr
o:Stable

I think it would be simpler for wallpaper plugin writers if they
did not have to consider this case.  What's the correct reading of the
API?

Stephenson picks up the ball^Wpatch and runs with it.  Currently I've switched 
to Plasma::Toolbutton for the hiding buttons, using layouts instead of manual 
hiding, made it work with vertical panels and am currently trying to figure out 
how to do something GlowBar-like instead of showing QToolButtons in screen 
corners when the panel is hidden.  I'll post a new diff for review tomorrow.  

Oh and is there any way to get the right hiding button past the Panel Tool Box 
button?  containment()->layout() does not seem to include it.

I'll have to look at that code and see how it works.  At the moment I am just 
hacking with a superficial knowledge of Plasma's internals.

If the hide buttons would be qwidgets, but we want to have the right themeing, 
would this make them Plasma::Toolbuttons drawn on separate Views as QWidgets?

Oh and another behaviour change that might be worth making in this area:
ExtenderItems' titles are persisted. These are translated, which is probably 
bad news if the user changes their desktop language, especially if applet 
programmers start doing things like depending on the saved title for something 
else, then the locale changes, then some test compares the saved (old-

dannyK says your brightness keys patch will be problematic with most current 
machines, as they do brightness control in hardware. apparently there's a hal

otherwise you are potentially causing a double increment on every keypress.

The hal property is to find out if the brightness keys control brightness in

Review Request: reimplement adding application launcher submenus to panels and desktops

2009-08-23 Thread Will Stephenson

Review request for Plasma.


Summary
---

Make it possible to add Kickoff and simple-launcher submenus to panels and 
desktops.  

This works by storing the relative path and icon name of KServiceGroups (== 
submenus) in the application model used by the menu

When an 'Add to Panel/Desktop' context menu action is triggered, add a 
simplelauncher applet (instead of an Icon).

This receives the relative path of the submenu and the icon name in its args, 
and when it builds its menu, it walks the applications model and locates the 
submenu, rooting the menu at that index rather than the real root, and setting 
the icon for the launcher to that of the submenu.

When the applet is showing a submenu, the view types  and number of recent 
applications to shown are not shown in the config UI.

TODO: set tooltip to title of submenu instead of 'Application Launcher Menu'.


This addresses bug 189583.

That's interesting, but I am interested in the UI implications of having a 
single modal current activity.  That implies that exactly one activity is 
visible at one time - including in such exotic setups as second monitors.  How 
does your model handle that?

I have reviewed all the old "activity", "overview" and "nepomuk" threads on 
panel-devel@ but I couldn't find an answer - please point me if it was 
discussed already elsewhere.

I don't see a reason for the first leak you highlight in your code.  You should 
create the url using QLatin1String as this saves QString having to guess the 
encoding -see http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/04/28/string-theory/ for 
details.

The second leak is due to the main IonInterface (outside your code) leaking its 
d-pointer.  I can't see why it or your WetterComIon::Private need to be 
QObjects, when they don't do any QObject-type things, so I'd remove this unless 
I am wrong for some subtle reason.  I fixed this with r1043227 but you should 
probably also remove the QObject inheritance from your code.

Zeitgeist (for gnome) work by accessing Firefox' sqlite databases, and does 
this apparently safely by taking a copy of the file before reading it.  No 
guarantee if this is right, I may be talking somebody else's shit too.

Possibly just watching the FF bookmarks file and copying them into Nepomuk. 
This is effectively what Zeitgeist does with web browsing history- it has its 
own metadata database but they are talking about merging it with Tracker.  Of 
course watching the file, copying and reading it is inefficient.  Maybe the 
best way is to do this directly in FF with a FF KDE helper, as we use for the 
FF KDE file dialog integration in openSUSE.

We're talking the Ion's pimpl class here, not the Ion itself.

By convention, public member variables of pimpl classes are not names with 
m_ prefixes - since accessing them via d-> in the outer class makes it obvious 
that they belong  to the pimpl

You could work out the "Current Conditions" and "Condition Icon" data on each 
update using the current system time and the UTC time in the forecast periods, 
and set these on the data source.  This would AFAICS get rid of the 'missing 
icon' icon and make the applet usable in panels.

(Umm, threading, folks?)

Re Current Conditions - I see your point.  ATM on wetter.com the current 
weather is 'cloudy' here but both their morning and midday values are 'rainy' 
so an interpolation would be off.  Is it worth asking wetter.com to expose this 
too, since they obviously have it on the site.  If other providers do give this 
data directly, perhaps they will feel it's ok to.

However what icon should the applet use when it's in a panel with no Current 
Conditions data?

What's the proper name for the plasmoid as it appears in a containment in non-
popped-up state?  That interface.

I mean 'do what KNetworkManager does' and don't fill the popup with 
unconfigured wireless networks that we are not interested in most of the time 
and just add noise.

Instead show configured wireless networks (WirelessInterfaceConnections) in 
the popup, and show other WirelessNetworks and all HiddenWirelessNetworks (so 
that people can connect to their configured hidden networks in a second level 
dialog.

When exactly?  The known 'bug' is that since knetworkmanager, and the KCM, are 
distinct apps, KWallet policy has to be set independently on those, so you get 
one KWallet dialog when first creating a connection, and another one when 
knetworkmanager (or the kded module, for the plasmoid) tries to open the 
wallet to provide NM with the password.

I can test those.  The main things to do for those are make sure there is a 
disconnect button shown when they are connected (doesn't need hardware or a 
VPN login) and check that the 'main UI' (as defined above) shows the right 
icon when those are active (needs hardware or a VPN login).

Can we come up with one design for these extra info overlays in the mails

IF you show unconfigured networks in the popup you should have 2 things

I would try to plan for this now by having a list of interface UNIs that the

Ok then NM is re-issuing GetSecrets when you try to collect, look at the NM 
logs to see why it might be doing this.

This will only work for WPA-PSK wireless connections though, for EAP, cellular 
and VPN connections there are just too many mandatory settings to show even a 
simplified view in the popup.  Do you want to introduce a second interaction 
path just for a different type of wifi connection?

Providing secrets in-popup also requires changing the separation between the 
config UI and the control UIs.  Right now the control UIs have no way to 
modify connections at all.  We'd need a way for the control UI to tell the 
backend to create a default-configured connection for a given SSID (or 
cellular device, or whatever), activate it, receive the resulting GetSecrets 
call from NM and forward that to the control UI, get secrets, then pass the 
secrets back to NM.

Are any usability-interested people thinking of coming?   The Usability Lab 
has been placed at Plasma's disposal by a certain entepreneur from Boston, 
consisting of an eye tracking workstation and a multiple-camera user 
observation setup so we could do some research as well as hacking.

I was at a usability symposium last night, the local uni has a research group 
who would be very interested to see how Plasma does usability in practice.

The cheapest option will be the youth hostel (5 mins away) which is 23 or 22 
euro/night + hostelling membership which for the german organisation is 12 eur 
(<26 years old) or 21 eur if older.

http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/bayern/nuernberg/preise/03878.shtml.en

The Eurohotel (also 5 minutes away) is quoting me 92 eur/night but I can see 
about a group discount 
when I'm back in nuernberg.

http://www.azimuthotels.de/page.asp?id=142

http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/bayern/nuernberg/preise/03878.shtml.en

There are the usual discount hotel chains for about 60 eur/night but which are 
a 10-15 minute walk away, and there are many budget non-chain hotels around in 
the 35-50 eur/night range depending on how many to a room.  

eg www.smilehotel.de (the former SUSE default hotel, but not convenient for 
the current office - there must be similar places nearer).

I have contacted a few places and many rooms are already booked out due to a 
trade fair in the city on the nights of the 19th and 20th, so please confirm 
the dates you will attend as soon as possible so I can book what is available.

T4: Local stuff

2010-01-30 Thread Will Stephenson 
Hi all

Some things to think about:

Open Tokamak:
We talked about this a bit yesterday on irc, can we do this on Monday 
afternoon/evening so that SUSE staff can be there, and external people can 
attend talks after they finish work?

Infrastructure:
We have a camera/mic setup here to record talks and of course projectors to 
give them.

We also have a usability lab (split screen testing workstation and eye 
tracker).  Would you be interested in making use of this?  Or would it be a 
distraction from hacking?  Usability work usually involves external test 
subjects.

Since Marco is taking care of the small screen devices, I'll point out that 
there is a large flat screen display in the rooms that could be used for the 
'10 foot' media device Plasma interfaces.

Socials: 
We (openSUSE) are going to sponsor a dinner.  I couldn't get veggie friendly 
food for 25 organised during the first weekend due to the organic trade fair 
that is in town at the same time so it is on Tuesday 23rd Feb.   

On the Saturday night I suggest we go to a large thai buffet place, it is in 
the same block as the SUSE building and meets our dietary requirements.

The Guest House accommodation for the Friday and Saturday nights is out of 
town (couldn't be helped) so it would help us to have an idea where everyone 
will be on Friday afternoon/evening.  I have the event space at SUSE booked 
from Friday so you can use that as you arrive, and either come straight there 
and check in at the Guest House later or drop off your stuff and then come 
into town.  There is a regular bus service, takes about 25 minutes, I'll put 
details on the wiki, or a taxi would cost about 10 euro.

At Nightrose's instigation I have added a late KDE 4.4 Release Party/End of 
Tokamak night to the list for the Thursday night in a local bar.   Of course 
there are lots of other social options for the rest of the week.

If you have any other needs or questions, just ask.

Speaking of this, was there a JS API change between 4.4 and trunk?  
Specifically, the plasmoid.dataEngine() method appears to have moved from a 
global variable in 4.4 to a member of plasmoid.  

Also debug()  is a top level function but plasmoid.print() is not - 
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/JavaScript/API#Print_and_Debug
 
describes them both as top level.

Is the JS API supposed to be fixed as of 4.4?

Ok, plasmoid.dataEngine() is used in 
 http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/JavaScript/DataEngine
- is that just wrong?

I dream of a desktop where these kinds of sharing are all accessible in the 
same way:

Sources:
local files
clipboard
URLs

Destinations:
Paste into widgets
Online paste/image/file bins
Online galleries (flickr/picasa/...)
Contacts (mail attachment, IM file xfer, bluetooth obex, zeroconf file xfer eg 
kepas[1])
'Facebook Wall' (for URLs), digg

On the face of it you would need a list of mimetypes that each destination 
would accept, config UI for destinations requiring registration, and a UI 
plugin to provide additional metadata needed (eg user name for *bins, url 
comment text for facebook wall, image title for galleries.  For the 
heavyweight media like email and IM I assume the plugin would just call KMail 
or Kopete and tell them to open a message composer or file transfer window 
primed with the content to send, and let them use their existing UI to select 
the contact to send it to (I implemented the Send To->Contact function in KDE 
3's kuick konqueror plugin and it was always a bit slow to fetch the list of 
online contacts in a slot connected to the context menu's aboutToShow() 
signal).

You could then use this Share it! broker in a plasma drop widget, Klipper and 
Copy To... in file managers.

So while you're rethinking things, go for the biggest picture, it's the KDE 
way!

  That would be org.kde.plasma.showActivityManager, I assume? If so, yes, that 
would be good for completeness. I will also need to add the drop functionality 
to org.kde.plasma.activitybar then I think this is feature complete.

D27319: Fix dragging windows from taskbar to activity pager applet to add to activity

wstephenson created this revision.
wstephenson added reviewers: hein, davidedmundson.
wstephenson added a project: Plasma.
Herald added a subscriber: plasma-devel.
wstephenson requested review of this revision.

REVISION SUMMARY
  The code to handle a window drag from the taskbar to drop on the
  Activity Pager to add the window to an Activity was broken,
  because the test to see if the drop location is a running activity
  still treated the itemId as an integer indexing into an array of running
  activity indices, rather than an id string that could be a member of the
  list of running activities.
  

This commit fixes that logic and simplifies the no-op return logic.

TEST PLAN
  0) add activity pager widget[to panel]
  
  1. Create 2nd activity
  2. Open a window.
  3. Set that window via the window menu to only appear on the first activity
  4. Check that the 2nd activity is empty
  5. Drag the window's taskbar entry to the pager item for the 2nd activity
  6. check that the dropped window is now also present on the 2nd activity.

  - Add window to another activity
  - Setup remaining from previous test
  - Ctrl-drag window's taskbar entry to the other activity's pager item.
  - Observe window is now on all activities
  
  - Move window from all activities to a single activity
  - Setup remaining from previous test. Window is on all activities
  - Drag window's taskbar entry to an activity pager item
  - Observe window is now only on one activity
  
  - Add window to two out of three activities
  - Setup remaining from previous test. Window is on 1/2 activities
  - Add 3rd activity using Activity Manager
  - Ctrl-drag window's taskbar entry to the new activity.
  - Observe window is now on 2/3 activities
  
  - Move window to a different 2/3 activities
  - Setup remaining from previous test. Window is on 2/3 activities
  - Activate an activity the window is present on
  - Drag window's taskbar entry to the activity it is not on
  - Observe window is now moved to the activity it was dropped on, and is no 
longer on the current activity
  
  - Add window to the only activity it is not on
  - Setup remaining from previous test. Window is on 2/3 activities
  - Activate an activity the window is present on
  - Ctrl-drag window's taskbar entry to the activity it is not on
  - Observe window is now present on all activities

  I tried to test dragging multiple windows (as a grouped taskbar entry) but 
this fails at the first test, outside of my changes, so I think there's an 
unrelated bug hiding in TaskManager::XWindowTasksModel::winIdsFromMimeData(), 
which can wait for another patch.

REVISION SUMMARY
  In the same way that the Activity Pager should (see 
https://phabricator.kde.org/D27322 for fix) accept dragged windows to move them 
between Activities, this patch allows the Activity Switcher (meta+q) to 
move/add (ctrl-drag) windows between/to Activities.
