eBook reader proposal
Hi I have just created a repository on git.kde.org with my application, tabletReader, which I would like to expand to became an eBook reader for AP. http://quickgit.kde.org/index.php?p=scratch%2Fcristea%2FtabletReader.gita=summary The app is not yet tested on AP, but it is tested on ExoPC running Plasma notebook with openSUSE 12.1. My intention is to attract more attention on this project in order to get more feedback and contributions. For now this project resides on my personal scratch repository and there is no specific entry on bugzilla. For comments and suggestions please use this list or e-mail me directly. regards -- Bogdan ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active

If you want to compile yourself, this is quite straightforward: * clone the project git clone git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/cristea/tabletReader.git * install dependecies as specified in the readme file (for qt-mobility make sure that you install the version 1.2, for other packages the version is less important).

(no surprise :) good news is that the viewer area is already nicely separated from the rest of the application. in fact, it is a QWidget that basically just paints pixmaps delivered from the renderers. That QWidget (SlidingStackedWidget) is slightly more complicated than that because it allows to animate the pages on switch (horizontal flicks). So actually the pixmaps are put on QWigets (QLabels) contained in SlidingStackedWidget. Using pixmaps for rendering pages has some limitations: for chm documents following links is impossible, same for pdf files (not sure how poppler handles this). so what may make sense is to take advantage of QML being able to show pixmaps natively and expose just some QObject based classes which provide the interface for fetching those pixmaps. this is what the current QWidget basically does already, so the work to make this happen should not be very big at all. Actually I think that we need to find a way to animate pages using QML, something similar already exists for viewing images. while having this as a separately loadable QML component should be the end goal, i think that to make that more achievable it would make sense to make the current app work in the manner described above and then once it is working within the app to make it a separate, externally-loaded QML component. This reminds me that the file browser used to open files is not very well designed, so it might be an ideea to load an external QML component which already allows to browse files (it would be great to be able to install some filters into that component in order to see only supported formats) .. and that will be VERY cool as it will open up viewer capabilities to any other app as long as this one is installed. To resume, I would see the application structure like this: 1. main window: in QML (partially implemented) 2. document loader (separate thread alowing to manage document types and a buffer with several pages) in C++ (already implemented) 3. okular core library in C++ (to be adapted) -- Bogdan ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active

Installing plasma active (PA) on Balsam Professional fails
Hi I am trying to setup a development environent for PA using an ExoPC tablet. The only way till now was to install the Meego based image, but this solution is not appropriate for development since the repositories are scarce in packages. I have followed the instructions for installing PA on Balsam Professional with Balsam-Professional-12.1-USB-Install-i586.img and http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation#Installation_on_Balsam_Professional, but after installing PA from repository the KDE desktop becomes unusable. Trying to install PA from source seems to be difficult, because one needs to compile first KDE. I have tried several times, but with no luck and there are no clear instructions on PA site. So, I think that we need a development environment for PA based on some well known Linux distribution (personally I prefer openSUSE) if we want to have more applications developed for this platform. Please share your thoughts and experiences. regards -- Bogdan ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active

Could someone put on the wiki the article I have wrote on Setting up an AP development environment for your application ? It could be put on Plasma/Active/Development page (http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Development) as section 1.2 thanks Bogdan Setting up an AP development environment for your application The recommended approach for application development is to use a PC with a Linux distribution (e.g. openSUSE). If needed, clone and compile the required PA libraries, notably Active Quick, on your platform. However, this step is not mandatory as long as the application interface is written in standard QML. As general rules please use cmake as compilation management system and QML for your graphical user interface. See PA Apps Recommendations and Guidelines (http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Apps) for further details. Once your application is ready for testing, please use the latest PA iso on a supported device (e.g. ExoPC). Enable the development repository on your device and type zypper refresh zypper dup in order to update your PA installation. Make sure that your application compiles and runs on PA. There are a number of limitations on PA, for example there is no full screen mode for the application as the task bar should be always displayed in case the application misbehaves. These limitations are not always documented, so please test carrefully your application. If needed, install synergy (http://synergy-foss.org/) in order to have keyboard and mouse support on your tablet. However, check carefully how your application is adapted to touch screens as this is the main target for PA. Using a virtual machine to test your application is not recommended as full touch screen support is not (yet) available. Once you have tested your application, you can prepare it for deployment by setting up your repository on Mer Project Open Build Service (https://build.merproject.org/). For alternative ways of deploying your application see PA Packaging and Distribution (http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Apps#Packaging_and_Distribution).___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active

Do you think the tasks for the test were picked randomly? Most of the tasks in the test are essential for working with what sets Plasma Active apart from other OSes (like adding things to Activities, tagging stuff in Files or using SLC). It's not the first time I set up a usability test. To me, this is not a polished product, this is still an (advanced) early adopter / developer version. i understand you feel this way (i noted so in my earlier email, even). this is not your call to make, however. It's standard procedure in human-centered design to do a usability test before releasing a product. And in every company I've worked with, people not being able to finish important tasks (or having big problems along the way) results in a red light, forcing the product team to do another iteration before release. I know that's not the way it works in FOSS: We release early versions into the public to get feedback from a wide range of people. That's absolutely okay, but calling it a polished product instead of an early version still does not make sense to me. It's not my call, but it isn't yours, either. If the majority of the team feels that PA4 is a polished product (which may very well be the case), then I have to bow to that majority, of course. And since we target early adopters and devs, why do we call it polished product”? we target early adopters and devs because there are no devices that it comes pre-installed on. Yet I have heard several times things along the lines of The people we target with PA4 will be fine with that, which translates to me as We assume the target audience of this release to have above-average computer skills. real products ship. real products are not perfect. yet somehow people use them and even fall in love with them. Release early, release often, I know. That's what all FOSS should do and most do. But e.g. Simon or KTp give their - already pretty mature - products 0.X version numbers and say they'll call them 1.0 when they find nothing really missing anymore (that doesn't mean they cannot be improved anymore, though). I know this isn't about version numbers, but I've never heard David call yes, it is not about version numbers. that said ... Simon is quite mature; KTp still has a ways to go. regardless, one of the hurdles KDE projects face is this perfectionism bleeding over into public communication. I consider both Simon and KTp pretty successful, despite their making clear that they are not 1.0 yet. we can, and do, have all sorts of valid criticisms of the products produced. for most people, that doesn’t matter one bit. and so when we go out and tell people how *bad* our software is (which is exactly what your messaging translates to in people’s minds) they just don’t use the software at all or if they do they focus on the negatives we’ve primed them for. the result is that they do not use software that would actually work *just fine* for them and even make them happy. why? because we’ve pointed out what it does not do well in an attempt to over our ass instead of highlighting what it does do well and focusing people on that. I know this list is publicly readable, but do you think what's written on this list directly affects public opinion? Read the quote from me in the article. Does this sound like pointing out how bad PA4 is to you? I don't mean to say that we did bad work, because we didn't. We did great work, but we still have more great work to do before we have a polished product. PA4 is great, but still very rough in a whole lot of ways. shall i list all the bugs i run into on a daily basis on my (not very old) Android phone? shall i share the pain of watching my brother-in-law use his brand new top-of- the-line Android phone while he complains about this or that as he fiddles about with it? you are trying to live in a world of perfection that doesn’t exist, and that mindset is an existential threat to the project. I pointed out why I would not consider PA4 a polished product. I did not write a blog post about PA4 being bad or anything. I have different standards for polished than you. That's fine with me, but I don't think that means I'll have to shut up and keep my standard for myself. To me it's similar with bugs: I may have annoyed you and Marco and possible others as well when I insisted on several bugs being fixed before release. However it turns out that fixing these bugs took only a few days, resulting in improved quality. And it was not that bug fixing which delayed the release in the end. I gave my green light on august 16th. If I'd kept my mouth shut, those bugs would still be in there. ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org
Re: Plasmoid installation in PA
Yes, the grid exists in Plasma 2, but due to screen size is less obvious, while for small touch-screen it becomes a little too intrusive.

That's on purpose: The Activity Screen uses a layout grid, and everything automatically aligns to that grid. That limits the placement and sizing freedom a bit, but in combination with the resource boxes and the imprecision of touchscreen interaction, Activity screens would turn into a real visual mess pretty fast if there was not grid.

Other solution might be to try to write an extension for Opera in order to have integration with PA. What do you think ? regards Bogdan ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active
