Hello,
First of all i want to say, that i am new to the LXQt project to
opensource development in general.
But i want to learn something and my laptops brightness keys don't work
with lxqt.
Looking at https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/36 i wondered if
backlight control should be integrated into the lxqt-powermanagement
project or, similar to volume control, as a plugin.
While browsing the lxqt-panel and plugin code i noticed that there are
currently two ways to get the paths to the directory where the plugins
should be found:
In plugin.cpp line 75-77:
QStringList dirs;
dirs <<
QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment().value("LXQTPANEL_PLUGIN_PATH").split(":");
dirs << PLUGIN_DIR;
And in lxqtpanel.cpp line 295-297
dirs << QString(getenv("LXQT_PANEL_PLUGINS_DIR")).split(':',
QString::SkipEmptyParts);
dirs << QString("%1/%2").arg(XdgDirs::dataHome(), "/lxqt/lxqt-panel");
dirs << PLUGIN_DESKTOPS_DIR;
So when i tried to get the code to run with the volume control plugin,
lxqtpanel found it (because the LXQT_PANEL_PLUGINS_DIR was set) but
plugin.cpp didn't find it.
Is that a bug or is there a reason for that?
Additionaly to that i have two more general questions:
1. Is this the right place to post these kinds of questions?
2. At the moment i think the backlight control code should be inside the
powermanagement project.
Reasons: Backlight control should work without plugin and the code
belongs to that area semantically, imo.
Would you agree?
Best regards,
Jakob
