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

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.

Hi Ural! I've added shadows for items text using QGraphicsDropShadowEffect. Much more readable now, great. Still it should obey the theme text color which is black instead of while. See sebas suggestion: Doesn't look like it's using the correct color from the theme (Theme::textColor), or is it? Now on to animation: 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. Yeah, this would be great. 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 Maybe you can use some code from there?

Hey Ural, On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 12:45 PM, Ural Mullabaev ural.mullab...@rosalab.ruwrote: 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. 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. 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. 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 Cheers -- Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

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.
