 Of course there are already a number of good media players available, such as Amarok, Banshee, or Dragon, currently KDE's default media player.

| We are still waiting for 67 people to convert their account from password to ssh. As we can not shut down passwd based svn access until they are all done, we will probably not make our next deadline. Today for example we made no progress at all. Those 67 are the contributors that have used their password based account this year, so we will not move forward without them. Please do not complain that we won’t make our deadlines!

| As I promised more than a week ago, today I’ll show you the progress done with the authentication framework, starting with signing a plasmoid with PlasMate, uploading that plasmoid and its signature to opendesktop.org within PlasMate, and retrieve it with the Widget Explorer “Download widget dialog”. Originally, I planned to show a more detailed screencast [...]

| In the last weeks, the homepage was sometimes down, as the server it is on is slowly dying. I just negotiate the transfer to a new one. That one will allow additional stuff to be run, guess we than even have nightly unit test runs (at least I hope so)  Therefor it may be, that the site is not reachable, as DNS transfer might always take some days.

| Do not think that because I’m not blogging too much those days, I quit KDE or something, actually each day that passes I’m more and more involved within kde ( and I have Helio Castro asking me to not be the superman that I’m trying to, just to prove =p ). I just moved again, from Florianopolis to São Paulo, and so I’m not yet fully setup here, so my internet connection *really* suck a lot, but that doesn’t keep me from working. talking about Work, I moved from a really cool company that does Asterisk Boards here in Brazil, Khomp to a really cool company that dows Qt around the world, KDAB. I’m now co-worker of Nuno Pinheiro, Guilliermo Amaral and David Faure, oh my… *-* A new era is born in KDE now, for the first time ever there is an Intern working for 4 hours per day in kde-related projects with k’approval ( Thanks Cornelius o/ ), his name is Alex Raymond, I’m mentoring him in Plasma for 2 weeks ...read more...

| Like told in previous posts here and there, KDE 4.6 won’t have a KatePart that supports the SmartInterface but instead KatePart moves on to the new and shiny (and much simpler) MovingInterface for the handling of automatic moving cursors and ranges. Now the big cut is done: KatePart in /trunk no longer implements the SmartInterface. KDevelop already adopted the new interface in a development branch, lets see how that all evolves.
SVN commit 1162946 by cullmann:
Smart* handling is purged in kate part now for KDE 4.6.
It seems to work, at least I used it in that state now more than a day.
More stuff needs polishing still, like removing the duplicated edit history, but nice first start.

Akademy is over since a week or so. (Damn, time is running so fast...). After a little trouble with some personal belongings (car broke down, fridge malfunctioning, water boiler defect and at last the death of my laptop screen) I finally could go after some ideas born during Akademy.
On Akademy tuesday we had some community related BoFs. The following summary was made by Diederik (of KMess fame) and me.
One of the main question was, how we could get more people involved in KDE. The "get involved"-pages already give a good overview about the possibilities to contribute. Although we thought that this site could be improved.
Camila did a short survey why the attendees were contributing and how that begun.
Reasons for participating:
The main three reasons were:
- "Friends invited me to do something for free software."
- "I feel accepted. / The members of the KDE community were open."
- "It was not hard to ...read more...

Dear Planet,
All of you know, or at least should know by now that we are happily (or unhappily :P) moving towards GIT migration, and if there was ever a good time to clean up that ol, tired SVN - it is now :P
Keeping that in mind answer me this - do you know how many sub-websites (sub-domains) does kde.org have?
No you don't!
But I'll tell you - SEVENTY FOUR!!! (74)
Yup, that's right boys, and girls. And no, you did not just fall asleep right by your trusty PC (or MAC) and dreaming this up.
Now, that's a HUGE load on our poor sys-admins. No wonder they are always so stressed out :) And you know what is worse? Many of those were last updated in 199X! Or never updated at all since the day they were added on.
I don't know what would you call this state of affairs, we call it chaos!
Lets help KDE-WWW team and GIT migration team out! Come to http://webteam.notes.kde.jefferai.org/10? before the end of August (August 30th) and let us know if you are ...read more...

 Today I finally decided that the way I use objdump could be improved. Every time I wanted to take a look at the code that GCC had produced (which I do about 10 times per day on average these days) I would execute "objdump -dwC |less" and possibly have a vim with the sources open in a different Konsole tab. For some more intensive debugging/optimization sessions I'd redirect the objdump output to a file and open that file and the source file inside one vim process (:vsplit is my friend). But then I asked myself why vim doesn't understand all by itself that I want to look at the output of objdump whenever I open an executable... So I looked how the gzip filter was implemented and then did my own little hack. I also found a little nicer syntax file on the web as well so I combined that all to: fun Objdumpread() if 0 != match(getline(1), "\(^.ELF\|!<arch>\)") ...read more...

| On Saturday we had a series of talks about KDE 4.5. It took place in FM La Tribu, an alternative radio station, always willing to help Free Culture movements. About 10-15 people gathered there to listen to Juanma, Mariano, and others talk about the features offered by KDE. Myself, I talked about the applications in KDE Finance, and also about how to develop within KDE. I hope we see some new contributors coming in.

| My last blog was long ago. I know, this is bad, i should blog every week, but well i didn’t really had interesting news. I was doing very much small changes, tweaks, bug fixes, layouting code and much more. The last bigger addition was the minimal shade selector, I will talk about it in a few lines. But first here is a small summary, of what i was doing since the last blog post: I’ve connect the colour selectors to the resource manager, made the settings save to kritarc, added a tab in krita preferences (thanks Boud for the new registry, that was needed for that), added a colour history, moved the settings button to a more space efficient place, implemented drag and drop for colours, shortcuts for quick access and an api for setting a colour. The last point was actually much more difficult, than it sounds, because of the way, the selectors work with colour spaces. The selector has to search for the colour, that generates the user visible colour by using the colour spaces. ...read more...

| Marble 0.10 was released on August 10th, 2010. It is part of the KDE 4.5 Software Compilation. In the good tradition of recent years, we have collected those changes directly visible to the user. Unfortunately we were a bit late with our visual changelog for the release. So please enjoy looking over the new and noteworthy:
Online Routing
Do you want to plan a bicycle tour in the nearby wood? Need driving instructions to get to an address in a foreign city? Besides searching for places, Marble can now display possible routes between two or more of them.
And the best thing is: The routes are draggable!  Online Routing in Marble Places to travel along can be entered using search terms (e.g. addresses) in the new Routing tab on the left. Of course Marble also allows you to input them directly on the map. Routes are retrieved using OpenRouteService and displayed on the map. Turn-by-turn instructions are displayed on ...read more...

| In the last days I have resumed my QML work (I had a small break to work on the MGCP GW code of OpenBSC to fix some real world issues) and there is one kind of issue I tend to run in and I wonder how others are solving it. Let us imagine we have a QML Component for a Button. The Button itself can hold a text (property alias text: buttonLabel.text) and the button has three states (enabled, focused, pressed) that depend on the MouseArea that inside the button as well. Actually this approach is directly coming from the many nice examples and demos provided by Nokia.
Now the problem is... I'm using the Button in many places and depending on some other external state the label of the Button should change and I keep writing things like this:
UI.Button { id: text_button text: 'My Text' MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent onClicked: { console.log('clicked'); } }
states: [ State { name: 'some-state' PropertyChanges { target: text_button; text: 'Other text'; } } /* more states... */ ] }

| As a followup to my post on finding a name for the until then unnamed sports and activity tracking application I have been writing I’d like to thank all commenters on the blog entry for their valuable input, their ideas and suggestions and of course for their kind words. It sure has been uplifting to read so much enthusiastic posts in response to an application that has not even been released yet. Now for the thrilling yet hard part: I had to pick one of the many, many good suggestions for an application name that all of you made. I had a few ideas and requirements what I would like the name to be like — and maybe those ideas are valid for more than just this one application: - The name should be easy to remember. Some imaginative and creative name that no one can remember for longer than five minutes is going to do more harm than good.

| Custom brush was disabled feature for quite a long time in Krita and I resurrected the feature from the dust in week 30. Further testing uncovered a lot of bugs. First bug occurred when you used color mask as grayscale mask. The mip-mapping levels were still grayscale when you returned from grayscale mode to color mode, so the brush looked grayscale even when you wanted to paint in color. Fixed. When you paint in mode “Use color as mask” with some predefined brush, the colorful image is converted into gray scale image first. But for the mip-mapping it is converted to masks, where white means transparent and black means opaque. We had bug in computing grayscale-convert-to-mask. Fixed. Another use-case when we convert color image is when we create custom brushes. You can save colorful brush (with RGBA) and then paint with it as mask if you want with Use color as mask mode or you can select Use color as mask in the custom dialog and the brush will be saved as grayscale. In the later option your brush file ...read more...

Why do I need KDE Software on Windows? Use Linux instead! That's much better anyway.
Yeah, that's right. But there are situations where that strategy does not work.
I am sitting in the office and are still fascinated by RKWard (as I blogged before). So I kindly asked our IT guys to give me an old notebook to install Linux onto it. And because they are great colleagues they gave me one. (Yes, I come to the point soon.)
So I started to download openSUSE 11.3. But the network connection was so poor that after an hour or more the download was aborted and I had to start from the begin. If I only had a nice torrent client. (Now I come to the point.) ktorrent!
(Yes, there are other programs as well but perhaps I was searching for a reason.)
That was my chance to give KDE on Windows a try.
After downloading the installer (http://windows.kde.org/download.php) I clicked through the wizard until I came to the packages. What packages do ...read more...
