During aKademy mornfall hacked the kwhatsthismanager. But it
doesnt work any longer.
kwhatsthismanager found the missing WhatsThis entries in the
GUI and let the user send a mail with a suggested new WhatsThis
explanation.
By default this mail would be going to kde-quality (which is not
the best idea).
kwhatsthismanager was enabled in kdelibs for a while after
aKademy when compiling HEAD. Since around beginning of December
(at least for me) it doesnt appear to work any longer. From
the CVS log I cant figure which commit changed this behaviour.
Before you scream: I DO NOT want to have it enabled again in
general.
I just want to know how I can enable it for myself. (I have
used a changed version which sent the email to myself, so I
had a reminder and all the info needed to implement a patch
myself.)
My intention is to make KDEPrint "WhatsThis-complete" in the
course of the next 2 weeks.
kwhatsthismanager was a *very* convenient way to look quickly
for all spots which missed WhatsThis-es, and at the same tim
giving me hints where in the source I should look to add it.
Without this help, I can do much less. I've committed myself
to do it for KDEPrint -- I may do even more if I have a tool
that makes me more productive.
------------------------------------------------------------
Please, please -- someone help me re-enable
whatsthismanager for my local HEAD compilation!
------------------------------------------------------------
Ideally, it should be an option where it could be enabled
"on demand" via kdebugdialog (and again deployed in KDE).
Cheers,
Kurt
