Monday meeting notes for 07/06/2021

[Marco Martin]

Jonahan
* 5.22 due tomorrow
* announcement https://invent.kde.org/websites/kde-org/-/blob/master/content/announcements/plasma/5/5.22.0.md
* will schedule a kickoff meeting

Kai Uwe
* Notifications:
- Found that Qt.openUrlExternally no longer runs executables,
  - refactor notifications to avoid this:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/918
- Avoid showing "0 seconds remaining":
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/915
- Minor optimization:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/916

plasma-browser-integration:
- Media Session API gained video conferencing actions, e.g. "hangup",
"togglemicrophone", "togglecamera" actions
  - see https://web.dev/media-session/#video-conferencing-actions –
might poke around with it a little for "plasma work from home" effort

Plasma:
- Fixed System Tray not sorting notification applet first (sadly missed 5.22.0)
- Found an awful hack in PlasmaComponents 3 Label rounding its size
  - Wanted to revert it:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/260
– forgot about it, I'll merge it and ping dfaure
- Optimized CGroup check in audio indicator
  - still quite slow :/ we need something lighter than ksysguard here
- Show window title in tooltip when player title is different, please
review: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/482

plasma-pa:
- plasma-pa now indicates when application stream is "corked" (shows
"pause" icon on app)
- Working on indicating when the device the application is using is muted
  - e.g. so you can see on applications tab that it can't hear you
because the mic it's using is muted

Frameworks:
- Fixed KHamburgerMenu hiding when using global/title bar menu
- Fixed crash in KCoreDirLister breaking filenamesearch

Other:
- Wanted to look at supporting APKs with new signing stuff in
KArchive, didn't get anywhere
  - Improved error handling/reporting at least to make it easier to
see what's failing
- System Monitor terminates process on Delete now
  - Probably should add Shift+Delete for Kill, too. I don't thin there
is a Standard key for that in Qt


Nico
* Fixed an issue in the Share sheet of Angelfish (and potentially
other apps): https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/purpose/-/merge_requests/29
* That uncovered a bug in qqc2-desktop-style:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/qqc2-desktop-style/-/merge_requests/72
* Remove an unneeded and deprecated call
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/265
* Extract the model from KColorSchemeManager to make it easier to use
from QML: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kconfigwidgets/-/merge_requests/51


David Redondo
* Not much to report, some bug fixing work in plasma-systemmonitor
ahead of release
* Currently killing x specific code from activity switcher
* to make it also do things on wayland, need a small qt patch for that
which I will propose for backporting once it is in upstream
* https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/351127
* It implmenets queryKeyboardModifiers on wayland
* the switcher uses x code to check if one is pressed ...

Marco
# Gwenview / Dolphin
* further work on wrap by nav keys, merged \o/
* further work on order sync with dolphin, merged
# Plasma
* still some minor work on the plasma6 applet loading prototype,
thinking how to turn it in an akademy talk
# Plasma Mobile
