Hello everyone,
I am developing a plasmoid called Workflow, the project's webpage can be
found here:
http://opentoolsandspace.org/en/projects/development/plasmoid-workflow
I'd love to have your feedback, as I have a deadline in my head for the
first version
mid-of September. The pieces are starting to get into place, it's almost
usable right now
but until now I have faced the following issues, I am developing it in
KDE 4.8.4 at opensuse
1) I am using the following code to remove an activity:
void ActivityManager::remove(QString id) {
ActivityManager::stop(id);
Plasma::Service *service = plasmaActEngine->serviceForSource(id);
KConfigGroup op = service->operationDescription("remove");
op.writeEntry("Id", id);
Plasma::ServiceJob *job = service->startOperationCall(op);
connect(job, SIGNAL(finished(KJob*)), service, SLOT(deleteLater()));
}
plasmaActEngine is org.kde.activities,
the behavior is that the activity is not removed from the dataengine,
there is a ghost activity
in the dataengine that doesnt have some fields, name, icon etc...
In order for someone to delete it completely the user must use the
ActivityManager or make
a logout/login
2) The plasmoid is developed as a PopupApplet in order to be able to be
placed in a panel,
I have tried many things but I can not restore the plasmoid in its
previous used size after a logout/login,
the popupapplet changes the DialogWidth,DialogHeight properties
correctly in the plasmoids settings
but after a logout/login the plasmoid remains in its default size.
3) I have tried to find a way to clone an activity through the plasmoid
but I did not have any success.
I have seen that the ActivitiesEngine, in plasma/desktop/shell, is using
class PlasmaApp for most of the
operations and not the dataengine, Is there a way to use PlasmaApp also?
or in the future cloning an activity
is going to be supported through the dataengine?
Thanks a lot everyone,
Michail
