Minutes Monday Plasma Hangout

[Sebastian Kügler]

Present: Kai Uwe, Marco, Martin K, David, Sebastian

Date: 3 August, 2015

David:
- dialog when opengl doesn't work (helps lots of users)
- env var to override if opengl2 doesn't work
- audio shortcuts (mute) fixed and kconf_update'd -> volume-applet works now
- Have a look at Eike's application dashboard, it's quite cool (is in 
kdeplasma-addons, needs updated plasma-workspace)
- we have two icon dialogs, will document so others can have a look as well

Kai Uwe:
- Improved calendar navigation has landed, WIP patch for pinch to zoom 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124507/ (locally I also have pinch to zoom 
in and stuff so that patch is quite outdated actually)
- WIP pretty session switcher, dont use krunner for that 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124585/
- I still want to have that in ksmserver with a logout-like dialog, not 
abusing the screenlocker for that.. though I'll see how much code we can share 
(the Session model thing from screenlocker)
- https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124509/ (in response to phoronix rant 
article)
- WIP: Expose immutables in configproertymap, allows the UI to react on that 
(suggested by the limux guys) https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124536/ I 
tried to add an Q_INVOKABLE but apparently QQmlPropertyMap does some magic 
with the meta object and thus I couldnt access it. dunno :(
- RFC automagic plasmoid config dialog stuff with immutable support builtin 
(disable item) and populating values automatically depending on type 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124537/
- Lock logout applet hides suspend/hibernate now if not supported (complain by 
limux guys)
- KRunner history is merged \o/ including completion-as-you-type and press 
arrow on empty krunner to show the recent 20 entries (clear button in the 
config dialog), perhaps will add individual clear buttons to entries
- and finally: Little experiment I did, QML dummy App UI 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvY2QSMvFqc
- https://paste.kde.org/pykbpuike/sr4acm ← so that's basically a simple way to 
have consistent UI, what do you think? we already have some plasma-mobile 
specific stuff for eg. the settings app.
- footer actions are for prominent actions ("reply", "reload", whatever). menu 
is for all the other cruft, filter is always for filtering/categories (email 
account, folder, etc). the qml stuff does the scrolling and gesture stuff and 
everything for you.

Marco:
- merged combobox fixed in Qt
- wayland input method patch to Qt still has problems with Qt's CI ( 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/114138/ )
- want to merge text selection patch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/121659/
- Patch for moving Plasma dialogs
- will need similar things for things like shadows and blur

Martin K:
- improvements in digital clock, e.g. 24h clock switch
- support for ISO date format: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124451/
- smaller layout for small panels: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124449/

Sebastian:
- sort tasks left over from Akademy
- Get Plasma Mobile phabricator set up (find out what exactly needs doing)
- Onboard some new people to get them going
- update all the things and tie together loose ends lingering after Akademy
- look that plasma-volume-applet is releasable
- Plasma Mobile meeting for "planning and project managementy" things?
