1st Attempt to Use Akonadi Engine

2009-01-25 Thread David Baron
I called dataEngine( akonadi ); The result is the dummy, unnamed, isEmpty() true; How do I get this working so I can at least look at the sources() and see how to proceed? The following are running: 12113 david 20 0 42672 3960 3316 S 0.0 0.5 0:02.02 akonadi_control 12167 david 20

Dataengine Questions, Proposal?

2009-01-22 Thread David Baron
I would like to try the dataengine that interfaces to KDEPIM contacts. So how do I: Register the applet with it/for it? What datasource do I get? Obviously this is not a polled item and getDataSource should trigger the signal. What is in the hash--do I get the datasource for one contact and

More observations: Drawing by svg::paint yields too large a view on the panel (where one cannot adjust the plasmoid size). When I used that, I shrunk the rectangle to 80%. When I used kicon.::paint for the same svgz, I did not need to adjust the rect. Some plasmoids available in repositories

Plasma Applet Direction

2009-01-13 Thread David Baron
A few observations, queries: 1. Folks seem to be posting applets on kde-look. This is for eye-candy, decorations, screen savers. Applets that treat useful information belong on kde-apps, I would think. 2. What to show? Seems to be a trend of plaster large screen areas with the whole

[test deleted, very long posting] This is all very exciting, maybe even useful in all or in parts. Main problem is screen real estate. The same reason I do not really like all those lovely superkaramba thingies nor do I use the folder-view plasmoid. Maybe is this could be on ONE of the several

Applet KConfigGroup vs QSettings?

I want to save/read configuration settings for the user (rather than global settings). The applet class provides two KConfigGroup functions: config() and config( group) Where do these store their data? Global? User? The group name is best the applet name()? user's name? Alternatively, there is

Closing threads, child QDialog

There are two problems when closing my applet . 1. The ioctl TIOCWAIT thread will not terminate. This may cause plasma not to close correctly (stuck in gray screen until control/alt/backspace). When closing in the viewer, get message: QThread: Destroyed while thread is still running 2. If the
