Plasma Meeting 26-7-2017

Present: Sho, notmart, kbroulik, bshah

Sho:
* [TM] Fixed launchers not causing startup notifications
* [TM] Fixed launchers not contributing to recent/most used applications
* [TM] Cleaned up app-launching code in the window task models, fixing cases of not causing startup notifications and sharing more code between Wayland and X11, more sanity checking for the type of queried KServices
* [TM] Started debugging that grouping proxy crash that keeps getting reported, got close-ish before the weekend
* [FV] Finished the "Fixed clicking outside preview popup dialogs to dismiss them not being handled correctly as a result of refactorings" item mentioned in greater detail last week (with some extra polish to the popup experience)
* [FV] Fixed a regression stemming from Chris Holland's grid-fitting patchset that caused a sizing busy-loop in the preview popup dialogs
* [Other] Still looking into the KIO mess
* [Other] Started writing my Akademy talk, feeling stressed /o\

notmart:
* triaging
* Dialog and notifications: pushed optimizations, fixes wayland and simplifies client code in notifications applet
* rewritten https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/195704/ this version doesn't use winId() so it doesn't break QQuickWidget
* systemsettings: better search support
* systemsettings: go back to main menu on click of the whole submenu header
* investigating panel controller focus issue on Qt 5.9 (still inconclusive)
* kirigami2: a fix for desktop-style apps sometimes not loading
* kirigami2: colored action button on android
* kirigami2: colored statusbar/navigationbar on android for the gallery example app

kbroulik:
* Fixed some issues in global menu, together with Qt 5.9 you'll now get keyboard nav in global menu, ie. Alt+F will open the File menu (works for both title bar menu and global menu applet)
notmart: I cannot bisect qtbase anymore .. worked on 5.6.x and 5.7.x but since >5.8 seems like stuff got broken
* Made a patch for digital clock to use QtTextToSpeech to speak the time, an accessibility feature we had in 4.x times. D6386 (I was also just curious to play around with QtTextToSpeech so I might as well do something more or less useful with it ;)
Diff 6386 "[Digital Clock] Allow speaking out loud current time" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D6386
* Did a PoC for scaling-support in KIconEngine/Loader so we can now tell 16x16 at 2x vs 32x32 icon request (ie. we keep the symbolic icons on high dpi). D6313 Needs some more working, especially I just bluntly scale the 16px svg up, but apparently you can also supply dedicated @2x icons. D6313
Diff 6313 "WIP: Support device pixel ratio in icon loader and engine" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D6313
Diff 6313 "WIP: Support device pixel ratio in icon loader and engine" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D6313
(I am also here sorry)
* Currently chasing after serious regressions in KDialog that breaks Save/Open dialogs for Chrome in all ways (breaks Save As, breaks file uploads, etc). Bug 381561 (and yes, this is in 17.04 branch, ie. released soon™, and honestly I have no nerves to look after this..)
KDE bug 381561 in kdialog (general) "getsavefilename broken due to port to QFileDialog" [major,FIXED] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381561

bshah:
- Published initial halium based mobile images on images.plasma-mobile.org
- Working on geting halium working on nexus 5x
- Currently stuck with blackbox situation where deivce doesn't allow me to log-in no matter what
- Maybe it got fixed right now few minutes ago

sebas:
- nothing to report really
- on my plate: kscreen UTS data arena stuff, finalising mission work and getting kscreen's new osd code mergable
