Hi all, I've pushed all what's needed for running plasmashell with a single QQmlEngine, surprisingly seemed to have taken less work/problems than i feared.
the repos are needed are: * kdeclarative * plasma-framework * plasma-workspace * plasma-desktop the branch is always called mart/singleQmlEngineExperiment in all repos last two is due to all applets having added X-Plasma-RequiredExtensions=SharedEngine in the metadata file (still on the fence with an X-Plasma-RequiredAPIVersion key instead) now all applets in a default setup, in p-d and p-w should share one single engine (on a normal setup still networkmanager and bluetooth would make their own engines) could still need some change in plasmashell and kdeclarative if we want to go all the way and reuse the same engine for the desktop/panel views as well. please test it to see if there are obvious regressions, if it's faster or slower, more or less crashy, if it takes more or less memory (dere it slims by about 25 MB on a 32bit system, of about 40 on a 64 bit), good profiling of memory and startup time may be nice as well (will try in massif later) particularly important to test as many aplets as possible, as it may be perfect for one and break another known regression atm is broken translations but should be easily fixable -- Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
