[tde-devels] Re: Proposals (OAuth, FBReader, Touchpad settings)

Hello! I fully support your proposals and they actually mirror some of my own wishes for TDE. (Please excuse me for mentioning all of them in a single reply.) OAuth support is imperative in 2024 and it's in my plans to add the support but I think it depends on a good modern web engine (TDEHTML of course won't work with GMail's OAuth authentication page). I was hoping to attempt a WebKit port once I get a machine powerful enough to build WebKit but unfortunately I don't know when that will be. Touchpad settings are another thing I wanted to look into. It seems adequate to assume most users are using libinput nowadays, so we need a TDE Control Module to wrap its settings. I think there is a library we can use for that. I used to use FBReader a lot and I agree it's a superb application (even though its UI takes a little getting used to). If it has a Qt3 version, we can maintain that, I think, especially since you mentioned its development is abandoned. Unfortunately, of course, there are few of us working on TDE, so it might take some time. Probably the easiest proposal to implement is get the old GPLv2 version of FBReader under the TDE umbrella. The  source code is available here: https://github.com/geometer/FBReader We might have to rename it in order to avoid conflicts with the developers of the proprietary version (TDEReader??). -- Philippe MAVRIDIS On Friday, May 3rd, 2024 at 7:25 PM, Alexis PM via tde-devels <devels(a)trinitydesktop.org> wrote: > Hello > > I think it would be very interesting to incorporate in TDE control center a 'touchpad' settings section or add extra touchpad-related options to current 'mousepad' section. Specific touchpad options as enable/disable touchpad, enable/disable tapping, set how scrolling... In the sense of http://qsynaptics.sourceforge.net and https://github.com/sibskull/synaptiks but instead of being based on synpatics, perhaps based on (or additionally supporting) libinput. >
