Hi, some months ago I blogged about KDE3's system monitor applet ported to plasma [1]. It provides a data engine and an applet. The data engine is more or less just the code taken from KDE3, i.e. it supports more than just e.g. /proc/cpuinfo depending on the OS. So I'd expect it to work in KDE4 just as good.
Now there are two other projects: 1. There already is a system monitor data engine in plasma, which is even included in KDE4.2 iirc. 2. http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=74891 Seems to be a rewrite from scratch, also based on e.g. /proc/cpuinfo etc. I'd like to finally see this simple applet be in playground to make it into KDE 4.3. The right way seems to be to use the system monitor data engine already available in plasma, and then write the applet on top of it. So it would be nice to combine the efforts. The systemmonitor applet seems to provide everything we need: Processors - system/processors -> processor count - system/cores (not yet clear how that relates to processors ;)) - cpu/system/TotalLoad - cpu/system/user - cpu/system/nice - cpu/system/wait - cpu/cpu{%n}/* (for every cpu if processor count > 1) Memory - mem/physical/free - mem/physical/used - mem/physical/cached - mem/physical/buf - mem/physical/application Swap - mem/swap/used - mem/swap/free So does it make sense to remove the data engines of [1] and [2] and try to implement the applet by just using the above? Thanks, Dominik PS: I don't want an applet that has a time-axis, ie I like the applet for its simplicity. So no meters or too complex stuff. Just this little tool, not more :) [1] http://dhaumann.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-miss-applet-which-shows-system-usage.html [2] http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=74891 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
