Hello list, I have a question about a plasmoid written in Python. I's quite a basic question and surely very simple to solve, but I didn't find a tutorial how to do it and I also could not get it out of other Python plasmoids.
How can I save and restore the configuration of a Python plasmoid? I'm pretty sure there's a nice high-level KDE/Qt way to do it, isn't it? I managed to write a plasmoid with a config dialog. I also managed to access the selected config values, but I don't know how to save the config and restore it later. I would really appreciate help about this. It surely would also be fine if some example was included in the Howto found at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma#Python as probably other people trying to write a Python plasmoid will also run into this. Thanks in advance for all help! Here's a minimal example able to access the selected value from the config dialog but lacking the ability so save it that can be run via plasma-windowed: metadata.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Config Test Type=Service ServiceTypes=Plasma/Applet X-Plasma-API=python X-Plasma-MainScript=code/main.py contents/code/main.py: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from PyQt4 import QtCore from PyKDE4.plasma import Plasma from PyKDE4 import plasmascript class configTest(plasmascript.Applet): def __init__(self, parent, args = None): plasmascript.Applet.__init__(self, parent) def init(self): self.setAspectRatioMode(Plasma.IgnoreAspectRatio) def paintInterface(self, painter, option, rect): painter.save() painter.setPen(QtCore.Qt.black) painter.drawText(rect, QtCore.Qt.AlignLeft, str(self.config('main').readEntry('testEntry'))) painter.restore() def CreateApplet(parent): return configTest(parent) contents/ui/config.ui: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ui version="4.0"> <class>Config</class> <widget class="QWidget" name="verticalLayoutWidget"> <layout class="QVBoxLayout" name="verticalLayout"> <item> <widget class="KUrlRequester" name="kcfg_testEntry"/> </item> </layout> </widget> <resources/> <connections/> </ui> contents/config/main.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <kcfg xmlns="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0 http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0/kcfg.xsd";> <kcfgfile name="configTestrc"/> <include>kglobalsettings.h</include> <group name="main"> <entry name="testEntry" type="Url"></entry> </group> </kcfg> _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
