I was considering opening an enhancement request to add some missing features to Kate. Specifically, adding a word count feature is what motivated me. Rather than file an enhancement request for adding a word count feature, I decided to first request a list of Kate scripts that all of you find useful. The key is "find useful" because there probably are hundreds or thousands of scripts floating around the web that could be added to Trinity. A word count script is useful. :) At this point I don't know whether the scripts should be added as part of tdeaddons or posted someplace at the wiki or web site. We can decide that later. Possibly we can vote and the most popular half-dozen can be added to tdeaddons and the remainder posted to the wiki or web site. If you use any such scripts, please share the name of the script and a full description. Either attach a copy to your email or post a link to the script. A full description is important because file names often are cryptic and do not lend well toward understanding the script's purpose. By the way, I found some word count script candidates: http://muzso.hu/2007/06/08/word-count-in-kate http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Kate+script%3A+Word+Count?content=1360… http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Kate-external-tools-p3788414.html I have yet to test. :) Thanks!

Does your KHelCenter TOC fully populate?

by Darrell Anderson

For those who have Trinity installed from GIT. From the TDE Menu, select Help. When KHelpCenter opens, on the left side, top, in the navigator tabs, scroll to the far left to select the Contents tab. Open/expand Application Manuals. Open/expand Development. Do you see individual apps or only categories? Thanks! Darrell

Is Tree View Broken?

by Darrell Anderson

In Konqueror (built from GIT), I no longer see the tiny expansion and contraction widgets to the left of a folder. The little plus and minus in a box. Nothing I do makes the widgets appear. Would somebody confirm this behavior? Thanks! Darrell

Arch tarball specifications - why tqtinterface files prefixed with 'dependencies/'?

by David C. Rankin

Guys, Working with the current tarballs compared with those created from the git tree I have run into a difference in path information included in the existing tarballs instead of those created from a local copy of the git tree. The existing tarballs referenced in the PKGBUILD scripts contain the dependencies path information i.e.: dependencies/tqtinterface/ dependencies/tqtinterface/TODO dependencies/tqtinterface/ConfigureChecks.cmake dependencies/tqtinterface/COPYING dependencies/tqtinterface/CMakeLists.txt dependencies/tqtinterface/configure.in.mid dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface/ dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface/tqlcdnum.h dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface/parser2.sh While those I create from the git tree simply contain e.g.: tqtinterface/CMakeLists.txt tqtinterface/configure.in.bot tqtinterface/AUTHORS tqtinterface/admin/ tqtinterface/configure.in.mid Is prefixing the files in the tarball with the entire directory path below 'main/' going to be the standard? In the past, I have always excluded the module prefix (applications, common, dependencies, libraries, ...). Either way will work, but from a PKGBUILD standpoint, we need to make sure there is a standard. What is the consensus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Documentation Review List

by Kristopher John Gamrat

I have completed the list to the best of my knowledge. I listed the two needed updates that I know of. It also contains a list of apps, all that I could glean from the source tarballs for 3.5.13 are listed by package (e.g. base, network, pim, etc.), and each section is alphabetical to make finding the apps in the list a bit easier. The apps list needs adjusting for the name changes in git. The list is at: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/43 Feel free to contribute. -- Kris Gamrat

Perl expert needed

by Darrell Anderson

Skilled with perl? Here are some nuisance bug reports that need resolving: 719 Koffice: unknown icon types (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=719) 804 gwenview: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=804) 805 tdeutils: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=805) 806 kipi-plugins: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=806) 807 tdeaddons: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=807) All we need to know is how to rename the problematic files and I'll create the patches. My troubleshooting reveals the build warnings are caused by the way the perl scripts parse the names of the file names. The perl scripts are looking for specific prefixes in the file names. The trick is to figure out the correct file name. That's where the perl skills are needed. For example, the problematic files in gwenview are imageops.svg and imageops.svgz. I can resolve the problem by renaming those two files to hisc-action-imageops.svg and hisc-action-imageops.svgz. I lack perls skills to resolve the other bug reports. The specific perl script that parses the file names is named am_edit and is located in the admin directory of each package. Search each am_edit script for the error message reported in the bug report. That will bring you to the section of code that causes the error messages. For example, for gwenview, search for "unknown icon type" in am_edit and the previous lines of code will be how the script parses the file names. Please let me know whether you need further information. Thank you! Darrell

http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git footer links to kernel.org pages broken

by David C. Rankin

Tim, The footer urls for 'Git Tutorial' and 'Git User's Manual' lead to 404 page not found on all http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git pages. For example, at the bottom of each page, the links are: Git Informations -------------------------- Git Tutorial = http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html Git User's Manual = http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html Clicking on either results in: Not Found The requested URL /pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html was not found on this server. No biggie, just passing it along... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

arch pkgbuild - direct git download - prototype (rough)

by David C. Rankin

Archers, Please look at the attached PKGBUILD for libart-lgpl. It pulls the source either directly from the git tree on the local machine (after updating it), or it clones directly from scm.trinitydesktop.org. I looked over the existing pkgbuilds that use git in one form or another in ABS and this is my prototype for how we could do the remaining build scripts. Let me know what changes you propose. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

KDE3 STUFF - mimicking Rosa KDE4 UI - for Mandriva 2011.0:

by Keith Daniels

Has anyone seen this page? Checking into what they are doing "might" provide some useful information or ideas for Trinity developer's since they are running KDE 3 apps side by side with KDE 4 apps... ----------------- August 27th, 2011 KDE3 STUFF is a new MIB project for the upcoming Mandriva 2011.0 You can use this as a layer to port cleanly your other preferred KDE3 programs into KDE4, or you can ask to MIB to port some old KDE3 programs for you. http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=135629 Keith
