All,
I have an idea to make the killer-app basket-notepads, that much better. When
entering notes, I use indent levels to format information in basic
heading/subheading style within simple text baskets. Basket currently lacks an
indent feature such as kwrite/kate have where pressing enter starts the next
line with the indent of the current line (similar to vim ':set autoindent')
Since the code exists for kwrite/kate/quanta+ how hard would it be to add that
capability to basket? I guess it would be adding the kpart feature to whatever
the 'text edit' widget in basket is. Anybody looked at that code in kwrite/kate
to know what it is called or how difficult it looks to implement in something
like basket?
That would be a killer addition to this killer app. Screenshot example:

Just a heads up, the ABI for kate/kwrite broke in GIT hash 08c816f.
A rebuild/reinstall of tdelibs, followed by tdebase, should clear up any
potential issues caused by this commit.

Tim,
The manhunt had begun -- What had happened to Tim? TDE GIT -> dead, mailing
list -> dead, Tim -> ? We were beginning to worry... What's up?

Tim, All,
If we want to preserve the application building tutorials for TDE, we may want
to collect those that are applicable from kde.org before they are all removed. I
have found several instances where the examples are either gone or are labeled
to be removed. I've annotated the pages at kde.org for preservation, but in some
seeming "erase all reference to kde3" move, most are slated for deletion. (the
storage and bandwidth requirements for the tutorials are minuscule, so the need
to delete is somewhat confusing)
As food for thought, between the kde3 tutorials at kde.org and the gtk
tutorials at developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/, the gtk tutorial is laid out
much more logically and thoroughly. If we do preserve some of the tutorials for
TDE user/developer reference, my vote would be to follow the gtk lead concerning
depth of explanation and layout. (not the web format, the content level)
Not priority, but I would be interested in what others think regarding
preserving/creating some developer information such as examples and tutorials to
show what is new/changed for TDE development verses KDE3 development. (T/Q
naming, etc..)

How is this key/value combination supposed to work? I have tested this on several desktop files and the app or applet still runs multiple instances.
I tested this in 3.5.10 with the same results.
Are there limited conditions under which X-DCOP-ServiceType=Unique is honored?

Tim,
As with Libre has anyone looked at dialogs for OpenOffice? Apache
openoffice 3.4 was just released and it works great:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/
It is much.., much... more responsive that LO and avoids a couple of nasty
formatting bugs that affect line/character spacing in LO. Apache OO does have
a nice GTK file browser by default (like the tde browser), but it would be
nice to have an integrated browser for AOO as well.

Using recent GIT sources, does DrKonqi work correctly to create backtraces?
When I run crashtest in 3.5.10, DrKonqi creates a backtrace. In TDE all I get is the following message:
"This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash."
This worked some time in the past (I am the one who patched tdebase so crashtest would build).
My build scripts all use --enable-debug=full for automake and -ggdb for cmake. The build logs show that the packages are compiling with those flags and the increased package sizes are further evidence.
Yet I can't create a backtrace through DrKonqi. The crashtest binary should be sufficient to test DrKonqi.
Would somebody running a recent GIT please confirm whether they can create a backtrace with DrKonqi?
Thanks.
Darrell
I came across this through my G+ feed:
http://ekaia.org/blog/2012/05/20/long-due-to-do-item-removal-of-qt3-from-de…
I do not think this will affect Trinity much with its own (T)Qt3
packages, but it still seems relevant. I can imagine it may make it
slightly harder to get Trinity into Debian in the future.
Best regards,

Tim,
Today I am receiving a SIGABRT crash when I try to start Konqueror. I don't have debugging symbols enabled with this build.
My builds from May 14 late afternoon are okay. Therefore the possible candidates for the crash:
d3a9d561 2012-05-15 [tdelibs] Add the ability to force read-only configuration file access in a TDE application
Force tde-config to use read-only access
b45b4bd7 2012-05-15[tdebase] Fix KHTML smooth scrolling control center option
9a948c1a 2012-05-15 [tdebase] Disable keyboard shortcuts for file location moving, as they did not work properly and have very little practical use
b0fa10df 2012-05-15 [tdebase] Add drag and drop to kate file list in manual mode
46a657f7 2012-05-15 [tdebase] Add the ability to reorder documents in kate
Intermixing tdelibs and tdebase packages between the two dates is inconclusive. The only combination that runs fine is using both packages from May 14.
I'll have to debug by reverting patches one-by-one unless you have a hunch what happened.
