In summary, not everyone uses a wireless connection. :-) We have a place to direct this conversation and patching: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105 BTW, this is a healthy enhancement request but is not an R14.0.0 priority.

Does KMail start or default to offline mode when NetworkManager is not installed? Darrell

I don't see why any Trinity network-ready app should key off of networkmanager. Many people don't use that app. Online detection should be through the core network libraries or the underlying OS. I don't use networkmanager. I only use POP3/SMTP. KMail always starts in online mode, which is fine except when my router is offline, which is seldom the case. Then KMail kicks out kdialogs about not connecting. I would not mind the kdialogs not appearing at such times, but I'm not going to install networkmanager to obtain that. :-) We've had a similar conversation in enhancement request 1105: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105 Darrell

KMail - added NetworkManager support
by Serghei Amelian 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi again, I added NetworkManager support to KMail. This patch will put KMail in offline/online mode, according to current NetworkManager state. As a side effect, KMail will be switched automatically to offline when you will suspend the machine, and to online after resume. https://github.com/serghei/kde3-kdepim/commit/0577b2e0087d6350a099778300ec3… -- Serghei

kfilereplace -> tdefilereplace
by Darrell Anderson 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

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 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

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

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 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

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

Kate/Kwrite will not allow any editing of a file deemed to be a binary file
by Darrell Anderson 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

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
