Ohloh statistics on home page
by Slávek Banko 12 May '13

Hi all, Please, anyone know why the statistics on Ohloh is already half a year out of date? It would be good to either ensure that will be updated, or removed it from the home page. Slavek

Can't open audio files in amarok with double-click or OpenWith...
by Darrell Anderson 12 May '13

12 May '13

When amarok is already open, selecting an audio file in konqueror and double-clicking (default is amarok) or selecting Open With... (amarok) results in nothing happening. The launcher feedback just spins. If amarok is not already started then amarok opens and plays the file, but only that one time. Anybody else seeing this? Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Commit 617bd268 [tdemultimedia] Start kmix hidden by default

Been so long since I fiddled with kmix that I had forgotten. When Visible=true then kmix starts as a windowed app. When Visible=false then kmix starts minimized in the system tray. There is no GUI control in the traditional sense. When kmix starts as a windowed app and the user minimizes kmix to the system tray, then terminating kmix (such as when exiting Trinity) toggles Visible from true to false. Darrell

Francois, What is your reasoning for this patch? Second, is there a GUI control for the Visible configuration option? Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Compiling kbfx

>I build it for Debian/Ubuntu on the build farm, and it seems to be >building fine for me. Do you build with -DBUILD_ALL=ON? Looks like you build with that option OFF: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde- packaging/tree/ubuntu/raring/applications/kbfx/debian/rules The default is OFF, which means -DBUILD_DOC=OFF and - DBUILD_TRANSLATIONS=OFF. When either -DBUILD_DOC=ON or - DBUILD_TRANSLATIONS=ON the build fails. Darrell

Is anybody building kbfx? I don't use the app but there are several build isssues as noted in bug report 1065. I'd like to build the app just to help the project. Darrell

Seems silly to have to revert to the command line or gparted to perform such a basic function. Traditionally formatting has been a super user function, but with removable devices that should be a user function. Not to disregard tradition, we probably should ensure no Format menu options appear for fixed devices. Or mounted devices. :- ) I'll write the request. Darrell

Formatting removable devices within Trinity
by Darrell Anderson 09 May '13

All, Other than the kfloppy tool, does Trinity provide support for formatting removable devices? Is this something Trinity should do? Can kfloppy be expanded for such support? Darrell
