Monday meeting notes for 2/5/2022

[Marco Martin]

Aleix
* Attended the LinuxAppSummit, it was amazing to see some of you again!!
* Looked into some xdgactivation_v1 report Please review:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2302
* Virtual Outputs screen sharing Needs review
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/merge_requests/89
* Global Shortcuts We agreed that being able to suggest shortcuts from
the start would be very desirable, I'm putting together a spec
recommendation. WIP. Otherwise the proposal seems to be good to go.
* Discover+Flatpak web flow To support payments on Flatpak remotes we
need it, we need to integrate it closer in Discover's main window,
needs doing. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/272
* I think these are the most important topics right now
* I merged the kglobalaccel changes for action disconnect, so that's
usable from plasma 5.25
* https://invent.kde.org/plasma-bigscreen/plasma-remotecontrollers/-/merge_requests/11
< I also ported the remote controllers to kwin's fake input when
uinput is not available

Nate
* We're down to only 6 VHI regression bugs in Plasma:

* that's great, and it would be good to get those down a bit more for
Plasma 5.25
* two are about the screen locker, one for mouse settings getting
lost, two wayland-specific regressions, and one issue with Kickoff's
shortcut
* any volunteers?

Nico
* I've mostly worked on porting apps to Qt6
* And adding CI to apps

Kai Uwe
plasma-systemmonitor:
    Filed two bugs about minor UI issues
    Wrote ColorGrid face plug-in, for people with many CPU cores:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libksysguard/-/merge_requests/228
kscreenlocker:
    Add busy property to Authenticator to indicate that an auth
process is still ongoing,
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kscreenlocker/-/merge_requests/68
        On networked systems it can take quite a while to unlock with
currently no indication
Other:
    Fixed bug in KFilePlacesView causing Qt Creator to crash accessing
a null widget
        Fixed both KFilePlacesView to send a widget and Qt Creator to
check if it is not null

David R
* I did a thing to assign key combinations to mouse buttons
* if you have a gaming mouse with 100 buttons
* https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-* more work on the open kwin
merge requests from last week
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2267
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2260
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2279
* started a QML-only desktop grid effect to replace the old
one/merge_requests/2312
* https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/920

Fusan
* Fix a memory leak after changing wallpaper plugin, which is caused
by KConfigLoader lacking a parent, other fixes are in the frameworks,
but may also help reduce memory leaks in Plasma.
* The two workaround MRs below greatly mitigates the memory leak in
Plasma config window. As Kirigami.ApplicationItem still leaks, I think
it's worth temporarily porting away from it in Plasma config window.
Please give opinions.
