kdemod - a lightified and modular KDE + additional patches

^ I was wondering the same thing. I can only do it if I set the window to a specific size.

edit: I just added the address/location bar and animated logo to main toolbar.

edit again. Nope that didn't work after I saved settings addy bar is gone:-(

Final edit.
Fixed by adding "location" and not "location bar"

morning,

about the k3b crash:
it seems that we are experiencing this bug... I just recompiled k3b from abs and everything is ok now...

chaosgeisterchen: I still dont get what you mean ... Having 2 toolbars (maybe the main toolbar and the extra one) side-by-side in konqueror?? Well, if you mean that, i would claim its impossible... For my knowledge you can only place them one upon another, but not side by side... To solve this and have everything just on one level, add your stuff to one toolbar and disable the others and their contents...

Maybe you try this and save it to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles

Well, you CAN put them side by side by just dragging a toolbar onto another. Just have a look:

chaosgeisterchen · 2007-02-17 14:30:57

That's what it is all about.. at the moment it's not possible for me, I am afraid.

I will see if I can solve that with a reinstallation.

A problem with the .desktop files, then. It works here, so it's most likely not a kdemod problem, tough. You can see where KDE/konqueror keeps its .desktop files for the context menu, and see if there is something wrong. Look around in ~/.kde/share (probably in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus )

defcon · 2007-02-17 16:25:06

the servicemenus folder doesnt exist..

superstoned · 2007-02-17 16:48:38

then there is a problem, right, you don't have servicemenu's... I guess any service menu you'll try to install (you can find some on kde-apps.org) won't work. Maybe you just have to create the folder, and disable & re-enable the integration in Ark?

defcon · 2007-02-17 17:31:49

Well, my problem was magically saved after some random XServer-restart. I did several reboots before and they did not really help solving the problem.

Anyway, now it works (again) like a charm.

First

Thank you for the good work funkyou & Dunkelstern

Kopetes jabber support works very fine with the actually ortp version (0.13)

funkyou: have you an jabber account?

so at least one question:

who can I configure the gpg support in Kmail?

funkyou · 2007-02-17 22:05:36

fk: Check this howto. Its not very recent, but i got kmail with gpg integration working with it. (No big thing, it was very easy...) To use pinentry-qt and not the gtk version, you must link /usr/bin/pinentry to pinentry-qt after configuring kmail...

And yes, i use jabber: jazztyle@jabber.no

fk · 2007-02-17 23:19:26

Thanks funkyou, it works perfectly

beejayzed · 2007-02-20 05:22:15

Hi, thanks very much for your work on kdemod.
I'm having a problem with digikam, just checking if anyone else has this problem.

The "scan for new images" function does not work.
When started the first time, it pops up the diaglog asking where to store the albums, I select the folder, then another dialog pops up and disappears immediately.
This dialog now pops up & disappears every time I start digikam.
I think this dialog is the scan for new images dialog, because on clicking on this option in the tools menu, a dialog pops up and disappears pretty much instantly.

I tried running it from the terminal and checking for debug options, but I couldn't find anything meaningful.

To get the "thunar-look" (btw, i call it "finder look" ) like shown in the screenshots, just do the following...
1 - Activate the baghira sidebar and save your filemanagement-profile afterwards
2 - Close all konqueror instances
3 - Edit the file ~/.kde/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc and set the option HideTabs to true (HideTabs=true)
4 - Now Konqueror should start without this small sidebar at the left...
5 - Now you can edit your toolbars. I've done it this way: At first i deleted all entries in all toolbars and also deactivated them all except the main-toolbar. Then i just added all the stuff i wanted to the main-toolbar and activated only that one. So you get the entries you want in one line...
6 - To hide the menu bar you have to do some sort of trick. At first, open the dialog where you can configure the keyboard shortcuts in Konqueror. There you configure a shortcut to save the filemanagement-profile (Ansichtsprofil "Dateiverwaltung" speichern in german). I took STRG + ALT + - ... After doing that, close the dialog and hide the menubar with ALT + M... Then just issue your previously configured shortcut to open the profile dialog and save it There is no other way to do this, because without the menu you cant save the profile, so you have to configure this shortcut for it

Yes, that's working out fine, but it's causing a very strange problem, which I am not able to solve:

If I adapt the main-toolbar to have that look, and save it as filemanagement-profile, it also changes my websurfing-profile, because the profiles do not seem to save the configuration of the toolbars, but only which toolbars are shown in the selected profile, so there is only one main-toolbar configuration, which is used in all profiles, and if you change the main-toolbar in your Konqueror window with filemanagement-profile, save it, close that Konqueror window, and open a webbrowser-Konqueror, its main-toolbar then has the same configuration, and in the filemanagement-profile.

My problem with this is, that I used the "thunar" look by only using the main-toolbar in the filemanagement-profile, which also contains the addressbar. Unfortunately the addressbar can only be present in one toolbar, so if you have selected the addressbar to be in the main-toolbar and the address-toolbar, the address-toolbar overrides the main-toolbar concerning the addressbar, which is not shown then in my filemanagement-profile, where I only have enabled the main-toolbar. But I use the main-toolbar + address-toolbar in the webbrowser-profile, because only in the address-toolbar the searchbar shows up, and I don't want to miss that one.

I already tried to leave the addressbar in the main-toolbar (so that the filemanagement-profile is shown correctly), and only have the searchbar + animated logo in the address-toolbar, to have the main-toolbar + address-toolbar in one line in the webbrowser-profile, but that way the main-toolbar is only about half of the width of the konqueror window, the other half is occupied by the nearly empty address-toolbar, which looks very strange to me. The addressbar only uses the remaining space, if it is in the main-toolbar and the address-toolbar is not in the same line or disabled (but then I don't get the searchbar at all).

This explanation sound overly complicated, but I am not able to upload any pictures right now, to show what I mean, so here is my short summary of how it should look like:

Filemanagement-Profile: no menubar & only one toolbar with just a few button (I only need "up", reload & viewmode) + addressbar.

Webbrowser-Profile: no menubar & only one toolbar with just a few buttons (I only need "up", reload/stop, reload all tabs & favorites) + addressbar + searchbar + animated logo.

It's very simple, but seems not to be possible with the current way, how the current configuration of toolbars is handled in Konqueror.

Any thoughts?

P.S. I know, that's not really KDEMOD related, but it's a good KDE thread, and look & feel of KDE seems to be important for a lot of people using KDEMOD

BTW funkyou, something concerning the baghira sidebar: Playing around a little I discovered a very annoying behavior of favorites placed in the lower part of the baghira sidebar. If you drag&drop a folder there, it is not really handled as a folder any more, which means you can not just grab a file and drag&drop it on that folder in the baghira sidebar. Do you know, if this is intended or a bug, and if this problem can be solved somehow? In Thunar items placed as favorites in the sidebar still act accordingly, so folders stay folders, and drag&drop to these works just fine there.

funkyou · 2007-02-20 09:35:26

Well, the konqueror profile handling was always a little bit weak and i hope they fix this with KDE 4...

You can use another trick to solve this...

At first, configure your filemanagement profile and save it... Then you open the konqueror webbrowser and create a _new_ profile with a unique name... Then open the new created profile and edit it as you like and save it afterwards. The trick is to tell konqueror which profile should be used. To accomplish that, use the --profile option... For example, i have made a new profile for the web browser named "Funkyous Profile" and edited it. To load that profile i simply start konqueror with the option:

konqueror --profile="Funkyous Profile"

That should solve all issues with toolbars etc...

I know about this issue with the baghira sidebar, but it can not be solved unless you dive into the source and hack it... Baghira 0.8 is the last released version and the developer is now creating the new KDE4 default style and is quite busy with that, so i dont think that there will be another version of it in the future...

beejayzed: i have tested this, but i dont understand the issue with it because i can always add new folders to an album and refresh them in digikam... Maybe you try one of the new devel versions posted at kde-apps.org... From my knowledge i can tell you that its not an issue with KDEmod because most of the patches i use are used by a lot of other distros too...

chaosgeisterchen · 2007-02-20 10:09:57

Concerning Konqueror:

Could it be possible, that it's starting up way faster, if you execute kfmclient rather than konqueror itself?

Just test it.. hit 'Run application' and test both of them, starting with 'konqueror'. I am once again stunned.

yeah, kfmclient uses the preloading of konqueror, while starting konqueror doesn't

Which easily solves a mystery that has been lurking around in my head for some while now. Thanks for the clearification.

beejayzed · 2007-02-20 11:04:38

ah, I simply misunderstood the behaviour of digikam. I thought it would search my home directory for pictures or something, but it searches the root pictures directory you give it.
Thanks

funkyou · 2007-02-22 16:42:52

update

- replaced the kickoff icon with a nicer (in my opinion) and animated one
(you can always change the icons for yourself, just take a look into /opt/kde/share/apps/kicker/pics)
- added extended support for Tablet PCs (thanks to berkus for pointing me to the patches)
