Monday meeting notes for 30 august 2021:

Arjen:
we spent some time on the bug where popups have incorrect shadows
not enough to fix it unfortunately
but we did narrow it down somewhat, since we realised it is the
shadows that are wrong
which means it's not framesvg being weird, it's something to do with
dialogshadows specifically
I created a manual test that just shows the actual shadow elements,
which didn't trigger the bug unfortunately
other than that, there's general system monitor maintenance happening
*
 and my ecm qml module cmake thing is still waiting on any reply:

Kai Uwe
Plasma:
    Allow "non-file" recent docs in Task Manager, RFC, please have a
look: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/551
(Kickoff would need similar treatment then)
    Is there anything being done about
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438994 – 5.23 is approaching and
this is quite a severe usabilit regression

Other:
    Kolourpaint "rotate" dialog now uses theme icons rather a fixed PNG
    Track connections in KRDC in KActivitiesStats:
https://invent.kde.org/network/krdc/-/merge_requests/19 (needs
aforementioned non-file patch)
    Wrote "generate QR code" plug-in for Purpose for "sending" links
to your phone on networks where KDE Connect doesn't work, please have
a look: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/purpose/-/merge_requests/34
    Worked on an ILBM (some Amiga image format used by old DOS games,
such as The Settlers) Qt image format plug-in, just for fun, might put
it on my GitHub rather than KImageFormats as it is quite esoteric


discussion on bug 438994: is probably better to revert the change for now
