Hi! <br>First of all, thank you for your feed back on the code, that was necessary by now. As a freshgirl I need to be put in line by whoever feels like I need to (mostly ivan feels like everyday (kidding!) :P) and that's a nice thing to me cause: I can get better and used to the way you work here, and I feel closer to all of this. :)<br>

so .. code complexity.<br>
<br>
the code structure of the old applet dialog was highly engineered with several<br>
layers of indirection in the code. it was not easy to get into and that,<br>
coupled with "well, it basically works as it is now", is why it never really<br>
got much work done on it.</blockquote><div><br>Well, yes. It took me some good, good time to look into that. As I was
the one to work with it, I really digested the code and made it my
everyday reading. I was able to make some drawings out of the
architecture of the code and some out of the execution flow and I
almost post it on my blog (don't know why I didn't). But I was very
happy to be able to understand the whole thing. I was reeally satisfied
with that - ivan knows that. :)<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
we should try and avoid the same situation happening again and keep the code<br>
as straight-forward as possible. </blockquote><div><br>I swear I was trying!<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
get rid
of KCategorizedItemsViewModels::DefaultItemModel.</blockquote><div><br>Ok. Agreed.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
in fact, forget about PlasmaAppletItemModel being a QStandardItemModel. it's<br>
just overhead in this case: we already have a perfect container object. so<br>
PlasmaAppletItemModel (PAIM? :) should just subclass QAbstractItemModel.</blockquote><div><br> In this case I have to override all the functions needed to make a model work, right? <br>I didn't really get this... Why is QStandardItemModel overhead again? I believe you, but just want to understand :)<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
next, get rid of PlasmaAppletItem. we don't need it.</blockquote><div><br>Whaat? I loved PlasmaAppletItem! I simply called applet.anythingyouwannaknow() and it would all magically come!<br>No, I'm kidding. -><br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
then implement data() such that the index.row() refers the index in the plugin<br>
info list, and the column to the various bits of data.</blockquote><div><br>This make all the sense and would be simpler and as useful as the PlasmaAppletItem. <br>But what happens when I want to know how many of a certain applet is running? Or like the mock introduced: how many of and where are them? Wouldn't it be better if those informations were stored somewhere?<br>

i'm quite happy and willing to work on this with you. </blockquote><div><br>Cool! :D<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
if you tell me what your<br>
working hours are, we can hook up on irc. the above is really 2-3 hours of<br>
work at most, however.</blockquote><div><br>Well, from now to the day I get on the plane to go to aKademy I can't do much work.. There are 2 projects and 1 exam to do to the university untill thursday (I don't even know how am I gonna accomplish all of that). But after that it's total dedication to gsoc, so my working hours will be many and then we can combine the working hour :)<br>
Also, let's try to make good use of the Working Days on akademy!<br></div></div><br>
