All, I would like to tag the current sources and binaries R14.0.0 RC1, as it appears that we have finally cleared the Blocker and Critical reports from the R14 Etherpad. Are we ready for this or are there any objections? Thanks! Tim

Keyboard issues

by Darrell Anderson

All, 1. Where is the Right Windows key defined in Trinity? I want to completely disable that key in Trinity. 2. In KControl->Regional & Accessibility->Keyboard Shortcuts, toggling the bottom check box "Use Win key as modifier" has no effect on the Apply button. Would someone please confirm? Thank you. Darrell

I presume the cmake rule will automatically update the backend perl script? Should I revert the patch? Darrell

I don't know the logic of the underlying code, but look in the installed d3lphin.desktop file. You'll find two keys: MimeType and InitialPreference. Experiment with commenting out one or both and see how that affects your usage. You might need to restart Trinity or delete your tdesycoca cache files. Probably the best experiment is with a temporary fresh profile. That way no profilerc changes will affect anything. I don't believe a distro-specific patch should be necessary. We should patch the behavior for everybody. Dolphin should not override anything until the user explicity starts doing so in the file association configurations. Which reminds me of a discussion we had a long time ago: which apps should be the defaults for opening different types of files. We never concluded that discussion or decided anything. Darrell

By the way,please share the exact steps you used that I can duplicate that prompted you to start this discussion. :) I'd like to test this further with other apps too. Darrell

I don't know why we bother with d3lphin. Beta software. Darrell

While systemd support is necessary, is this an R14.0.0 priority? Darrell

That is the only way anything gets tracked. Personally, while I admit not understanding the technical details, I don't why Trinity should be restarted for anything. Trinity should reinitialize itself. Darrell

My best guess is possibly only Fedora, but I don't know because I do not try to keep pace with that kind of information. Slackware does not use systemd at all with no such plans. There is consolekit support. Darrell
