Status
------

This change has been discarded.


Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Repository: kxmlgui


Description
-------

The API dox of KMainWindow::setCaption(const QString &caption, bool modified) 
claims that the flag modified specifies "whether the document is modified. This 
displays an additional sign in the title bar, usually "*"."
See 
http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frameworks5-apidocs/kxmlgui/html/classKMainWindow.html#aa78364d5eeb1c1f5bd333c733378741d

Currently that is not true. Instead a warning is shown on the console:
"QWidgetPrivate::setWindowModified_helper: QWidget::setWindowModified: The 
window title does not contain a '[*]' placeholder"

When 'KDialog::setCaption(QString, bool)' was moved to 
'KMainWindow::setCaption(QString, bool)' for kf5, it was dumped that the old 
code also called ' makeStandardCaption(...)' which would add a custom 
"[modified]" string if the 'modified' flag was set. See 
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/kdialog_8cpp_source.html#l00475

Now KMainWindow uses the 'windowModified' property of 'QWidget', and if doing 
so, the windowtitle needs a placeholder where to put the modified marker, by 
the form of "[*]". See 
https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qwidget.html#windowTitle-prop

This patch proposes to comply to the API and to add that placeholder, so the 
method behaves as expected. It does not use "[modified]" flag like the kde4libs 
variant of the code did, but by using the Qt placeholder perhaps can even 
integrate better into the platform (not sure if there is a hook yet).

Testing
-------

Modified is now properly marked to Off or On in the window title, when 
'KMainWindow::setCaption(QString,bool)' is used. Tested with Okteta.
