What about a small comment for each WITH_* option in root CMakeList.txt by which BUILD_* option(s) it is used? I can take it up...

kfilereplace -> tdefilereplace

by Darrell Anderson

With the recent renaming changes kfilereplace is renamed to tdefilereplace. Yet the launcher menu still shows KFileReplace. A quick look at tdefilereplace.desktop indicates why. :-) I can update the desktop file, but there are 8 locales in the file I can't update. Should I go ahead and push the English change? Darrell

Tim: How to troubleshoot kdialog passive popups

by Darrell Anderson

Tim, A small problem that has bugged me for a while. On my HTPC I use kdialog passive popups to remind me when a TV recording starts or stops. This is helpful to me when I run XBMC because I run XBMC in full screen. Originally when I built my HTPC I used KDE 3.5.10. The popups always appeared in front of XBMC, which satisfied my intent. Through the past many months I updated the HTPC: the operating system from Slackware 12.2 to 14.0, KDE 3.5.10 to Trinity GIT, Nvidia proprietary drivers, and XBMC from 9.01 to 10.1. The popups no longer appear in front of XBMC. When I toggle XBMC from full screen to windowed mode I can see the kdialog popups, but not when XBMC is in full mode. The popups appear in front of other apps. This is not a killer problem. :-) I realize there are several variables at play, but I don't know how the kdialog mechanism works. I'd appreciate ideas for determining whether Trinity (twin?) or kdialog is the culprit. Thanks! Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Cleanup output clutter

Do you have a list of how many other >modules are affected? From the top of my local repo, I performed the following: grep -rn "\\\n\\\r" . | grep printf | grep -v sprintf The results are limited to a handful of modules: applications/gtk3-tqt-engine applications/kcmldap applications/kcmldapcontroller applications/kcmldapmanager applications/kgtk-qt3 applications/knetworkmanager8 applications/knetworkmanager9 applications/koffice applications/qt4-tqt-theme-engine applications/smartcardauth libraries/libtdeldap tdelibs/tderandr tdenetwork/wifi/kcmwifi tdepim/tderesources/caldav tdepim/tderesources/carddav I did not want to interfere with any additional work you were doing, which is why I asked rather than start patching. :-) Darrell

Cleanup output clutter

by Darrell Anderson

Slavek, I notice in the commits web page you pushed some patches to change printf statements from \n\r to \n. I performed a quick grep of the sources. There are more printf statements that use \n\r. Are you planning to update the entire source tree? Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Kate/Kwrite will not allow any editing of a file deemed to be a binary file

by Darrell Anderson

>When that happens to me I click on "tools" and click on "read only >mode" to remove the check mark. I can edit fine after that. Ah! Thank you. Always something new to learn! :-) Darrell

Kate/Kwrite will not allow any editing of a file deemed to be a binary file

by Darrell Anderson

Hopefully there is a configuration cure to avoid a bug report. Any file that is opened in kate or kwrite resulting in the infamous warning dialog that the file is binary and editing will result in a corrupt file, renders both text editors into a non-editing mode. For example, create a diff file using "diff -urNa" where there are file additions or removals in the target directory. Open the diff file in kate or kwrite. The infamous warning dialog appears and editing thereafter is impossible. Also disabled is searching and seatch-and-replace. Bug or configuration problem? Darrell

Best GIT way to remove multiple files and directories

by Darrell Anderson

I want to close bug report 1344. I need to remove duplicate files and directories. I know which files and directories to delete, but I'm uncertain about the best GIT way to do this. (Doing this outside of GIT is easy. :-) ) Fortunately there are only 9 modules affected, but the number of files and directories to delete varies in each module. Thanks! :-) Darrell

Interesting TED video

I found the following TED video interesting with respect to software project management: http://www.linux.com/news/featured-blogs/185-jennifer-cloer/715856- jim-zemlin-at-tedx-what-weve-learned-from-linus-torvalds The video is only 18 minutes. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] OnlyShowIn vs. NotShowIn

I updated the patch by adding a -DWITH_OLD_XDG_STD configure option works great. No KDE4 apps autostart, no problems with desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications or $TDEDIRS. Should upstream problems continue then this patch seems like a fair compromise until those problems disappear. I have not tested by building tdelibs with -DWITH_OLD_XDG_STD, which retains the current dual behavior. Darrell
