KDE CVS-Digest for April 29, 2005

Saturday, 30 April 2005  |  Dkite

In this week's KDE CVS-Digest (all in one page): amaroK and Kexi support KNewStuff for database examples, context themes and amaroK scripts. amaroK adds support for Helix multimedia backend. KMail filters now can be applied to messages from IMAP accounts. KWifiManager implements switch network from GUI feature.

Always fun to read. Fun to see kexi and amarok use knewstuff, although we might have to be careful about security since anyone can upload scripts.

Re: f - Jaros³aw Staniek (Kexi Team) - 2005-04-30

Kexi has scripts disabled before 1.0 version, so don't worry. And we're planning to use a sandbox system for better security.

imap filters - Richard - 2005-04-30

Good to see that the filters in kmail can now be applied on imap folders too.

Re: imap filters - Marc Driftmeyer - 2005-05-01

Only two revisions behind schedule. 3.3, then 3.4 and now most likely what, 3.4.1?

Re: imap filters - Debian User - 2005-05-01

I was thinking 3.5 Kay

Re: imap filters - Thorsten Schnebeck - 2005-05-01

Its no problem to apply filter to dIMAP folders - but stuff like filter incoming mails does not work if these mails are server side filtered by e.g. sieve. I hope the patch helps to solve this bug and will be backported to 3_4_BRANCH :-) Bye Thorsten

Re: imap filters - Ingo Klöcker - 2005-05-01

Which bug? Why should messages which have already been moved to the correct folder by the mail server be filtered again? That sounds like a pretty stupid idea, especially if you think of two differently configured email clients which ping-pong some messages between different folders. For your information: Don's patch only filters new messages in the IMAP account's INBOX, just as with dIMAP.

Re: imap filters - Joe Kowalski - 2005-05-02

Because, if a person wants filtering done on their imap mail, they very likely DONT have server side filtering to begin with. The only imapd that properly supports sieve is cyrus, which, in my experience is not all that common....

Re: imap filters - Ingo Klöcker - 2005-05-02

You misunderstood me. If a person doesn't use server side filtering then all his new mail will be in his IMAP account's INBOX and will thus be filtered. That's exactly what you want.

Re: imap filters - Thorsten Schnebeck - 2005-05-02

I use it for header rewriting cause this is easy with kmails filter engine. But I can not apply this rule to new incomming mails into this folder. So I have to select new mails by hand and apply filter manually. IIRC these rewrited headers are not synced back to the server. Bye Thorsten

A small bug report - Inge Wallin - 2005-05-01

There are two sections: "Development Tools" and "Development tools", of which the latter feels unnecessary. :-)

Re: A small bug report - Inge Wallin - 2005-05-01

...and same for Kde-Base and Kde-base.

Ugh. Something about doing this at 1:30 am... Derek

KDE 4 - ac - 2005-05-01

Has anyone started porting to Qt 4 or is that going to wait until Qt4 is final?

Re: KDE 4 - Ian Monroe - 2005-05-01

The KDE 4 branch is not open yet, as far as I know.

Re: KDE 4 - ac - 2005-05-01

Some information about Qt4 here: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/1005

kopete to support msn webcam - ac - 2005-05-01

This feature (which will hopefully be available in KDE 3.5) will greatly help new users coming from windows feeling more comfortable!

Re: kopete to support msn webcam - Cláudio Pinheiro - 2005-05-02

Olivier Goffart is coding the protocol part, and I started to send patches for the video capture support. I hope we'll have a working, useful code sooner than expected, at least for Linux (V4L and V4L2 APIs). Some help from BSD people will be very welcome.

KDevelop KDE templates tested - annma - 2005-05-01

While I am in the top 10 committers, no work from me is mentionned in the digest (I guess my logs should be longer) so there is a summary of what I did last week. I tested all KDE C++ KDevelop templates and made a doc about them. http://women.kde.org/articles/tutorials/kdevelop_templates/index.php In the process, I had fixed the ones that were broken and I updated the screenshots in the project wizard. I also worked more on the new KHangMan design and used valgrind on KLettres -> fixed a memory leak.

Re: KDevelop KDE templates tested - Anonymous - 2005-05-02

Hey, thanks annma the tutorial was quite useful for someone new to kde programming like me how about adding a link to it on developer.kde.org? And.. a little OT: i think here http://developer.kde.org/documentation/misc/whatisscripty.php someone forgot a </h2> (at the end of the page) ;)

Re: KDevelop KDE templates tested - teatime - 2005-05-02

Just took a quick look at the template doc. Very nice work. Thanks! :)

Konqueror still doesn't emit JS onclick on Enter - ph - 2005-05-02

Could you PLEASE take some action regarding this bug. It's so silly and I think really many users suffer because of this: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91652

Re: Konqueror still doesn't emit JS onclick on Ent - tom - 2005-05-05

"...and I think really many users suffer because of this" Standard phrase that everyone's using to promote his/her pet bug. Yawn. Posting this in an unrelated article gives bonus points, though.
