KDE-CVS-Digest for May 21, 2004 or Thereabout

Tuesday, 25 May 2004  |  Dkite

In a rather late KDE CVS-Digest: Security fixes in URI handlers. KAddressbook now handles IM addresses. Kppp now can handle multiple modem configurations. KUser now can use LDAP, Samba and MD5 shadow passwords.

View Images (9 Files) - Anonymous - 2004-05-25

I really like the image comparison feature (although the first splash screen pair seems to be wrong).

Re: View Images (9 Files) - Derek Kite - 2004-05-25

In what way are they wrong? The images are scaled if they are too large to fit. Click on the scaled image to see full size. Derek

Re: View Images (9 Files) - Anonymous - 2004-05-25

They show the wrong splash screen. It seems that default/locolor/splash_top.png and blue-bend/splash_top.png have both the same filename and revision numbers so they write to the same image cache file and the latter overwrote the first.

Gnome HIG, eh? - Eike Hein - 2004-05-25

"If this reminds anyone of the progress dialog in Evolution, that's because we now follow the Gnome HIG, as everyone knows. ;)" Don't you dare touch the button order on dialog boxes! ;) *runs* :p

Re: Gnome HIG, eh? - Melchior FRANZ - 2004-05-25

> Don't you dare touch the button order on dialog boxes! ;) Too late ... this is now implemented as a configuration option, too. Just add this line to the "[KDE]" section in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals: [KDE] ButtonLayout=1 See kdelibs/kdeui/kdialogbase.cpp for the different layoutRules. :-P

That's not nearly as helpful as a similar option in Gnome would be ;-)

Re: Gnome HIG, eh? - Anonymous - 2004-05-25

Yes, please! Who is the first with a patch against Gtk+/GNOME? :-)

A KDE rss reader? - Jason Stothson - 2004-05-25

Great!.. I've been missing a good KDE RSS reader for a while now.. the only ones available for Linux are gtk (straw or liferea) or java-based. I don't mind that, but they aren't good as their windows equivalents anyways.. looks like akregator is a good start! Will it be included with KDE?

Re: A KDE rss reader? - Nick Shafff - 2004-05-25

only beta is now available... kdepim+=akregator ?

Re: A KDE rss reader? - Anonymous - 2004-05-25

Please let it mature before even thinking about it.

Re: A KDE rss reader? - me - 2004-05-25

why let it mature? Just make it a kpart and embed it in kontact if you want. If you don't, don't!

Re: A KDE rss reader? - Anonymous - 2004-05-27

It already is a kpart.

Re: A KDE rss reader? - Sebien - 2004-05-26

I prefer eventwatcher (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=10361) for that. It is also promising. As always, if we take a look at all in development programs or to be done features it's a dream and we can't wait to have them mature. And again and again (with other programs/features)... ;-)

Browsing a object oriented project like this - Daniel - 2004-05-25

I was wondering if you use any sort of graphical tool to view the relationships beetwen classes in kde. I'm asking this because I'm a newbie programmer (C++) and I wanted to try my hand at coding something, but I always get a bit daunted on big projects like this. Dan

Re: Browsing a object oriented project like this - Anonymous - 2004-05-25

Doxygen? See http://api.kde.org/cvs-api/kdeui/html/classKAction.html

replace accents as you type.... - ybouan - 2004-05-26

That is gonna save me so much time. Typing 5 characters when only one is needed and only one will appear is just plain painfull....

Re: replace accents as you type.... - Nicolas Goutte - 2004-05-26

Why typing 5 characters? The feature is there so that Quanta does it on the fly. Of course, only if you want it... (By the way, character entity references can be longer than 5 characters, for example ç ) Have a nice day!
