Bug ID: 450351
   Summary: The player on media preview should not stop on
hovering a different element
   Product: dolphin
   Version: 21.08.2
  Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: panels: information
  Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org

CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

When using the media player in dolphin’s information panel hovering another
file will result in a removal and thus a stop of this media player. This means
that on previewing media files withing dolphin (which could be a super useful
thing, as it is faster than opening a media player) is quite a hassle as we
must make sure not to hover anything in the meantime.

Thus I’d suggest to have the media preview remain playing on hovering a file.
Maybe we could even have something like if we play a media file and hover or
select something else the media control for the current files goes to the top
of the information panel, effectively allowing us to use the media preview
without limiting the use of the file manager at the same time.

[plasmashell] [Bug 455088] New: Have widgets remember config when switching to Alternatives

When switching to an alternative on a widget like kickoff or the task bar the
old widget is removed and a new one is created. This has the effect of loosing
all config of this widget.

We could allow the configuration to also store for each Applet configurations
of different plugins. Then switching to an alternative could store and recover
such configurations.

[kate] [Bug 467033] New: Make the KATE preview plugin support additional mimetypes by external programs

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467033

Bug ID: 467033
   Summary: Make the KATE preview plugin support additional
mimetypes by external programs
Classification: Applications
   Product: kate
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: plugin-preview
  Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: bug@petzel.at
  Target Milestone: ---

The preview plugin currently relies on the current document having a KPart able
to view the current file. This strongly limits the use of the plugin. Often we
are working with non preview-able files that are compiled to a preview-able
file. Examples might be a TeX documents or Lilypond scores, which are turned
into .pdf files using an external program.

I think it would increase the use cases for the preview plugin significantly if
we could get it to handle such cases. One thing that could be done for example
is to allow specification of output files for certain Mimetype, e.g. to have a
configuration telling the preview plugin that e.g. on a file file.tex it should
attempt to locate file.pdf for preview. Maybe this could even include an
optional call to an external program so that updating the preview automatically
renders the document using the given program (although this is not particularly
important, as one can already configure such actions e.g. on save).

[frameworks-kwallet] [Bug 456986] New: KWallet occasionally looses wallet on irregular shutdown

shutdown

Occasionally it happens that after some sort of hard shutdown (such as
powerloss or having to REISUB) KWallet looses it’s entire wallet file. This has
happened to me twice so far. The first time major parts of my KDE config was
lost, so this appears to be not strictly restrained to KWallet, but I suppose
it’s most problematic for KWallet as we’d expect a Password manager to keep the
passwords safe and not loose them easily.

I suppose this might happen if the system shuts down while KWallet tries to
write to the encrypted wallet.

In any case I think that KWallet should handle it’s Wallet files more
carefully, potentially creating backups before writing to the wallet and such.

[frameworks-kwallet] [Bug 432713] New: KWallet should limit access of applications for security reasons

2021-02-09 Thread Valentin Petzel

Bug ID: 432713
   Summary: KWallet should limit access of applications for
security reasons
   Product: frameworks-kwallet
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Other
OS: Linux

  Target Milestone: ---

A major problem of password managers like KWallet is that basically any
application that has access to the Wallet will have full access to the Wallet.
This is a HUGE security flaw, as this implies that ANY application that should
use KWallet needs to be 100% trustworthy.
So I suggest that KWallet should not only allow to give applications access to
the whole wallet, but to limit an applications access to certain parts of the
wallet.

For example: One could have a default policy that an application is only
allowed to access keys in the walled it created itself. If it wants to access
other keys, it eighter has to explicitely get full permissions, or the user has
to be prompted that this Applications wants access to a foreign key. Or
something similar.

Valentin

[plasmashell] [Bug 441746] New: Make Favorites more accessible

2021-08-30 Thread Valentin Petzel
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441746

Bug ID: 441746
   Summary: Make Favorites more accessible
   Product: plasmashell
   Version: 5.21.5
  Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
  Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
  Reporter: bug@petzel.at
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

Hello,

Most of the times I use Kicker it is to open one of a handful of applications
(such as browser, e-mail client, text editor, terminal and such), for which I
therefore use the favorites bar.
Kickoff makes it quite hard to access these favorites quickly, because if you
click on the application launcher (assuming it is in the bottom left corner)
you have the list of categories between your mouse and your favorites. Thus it
happens that moving the mouse towards the favorites you change the category.
This is quite anoying, as it forces you to move around the mouse a lot to open
a common application.

Due to delays this only happens if you move your mouse slowly enough, but still
it still happens.

So I suggest some options how this could be solved:
→ Add an option to change category only on click, not on hover (or maybe a
system where the hover changuing is unlocked by clicking and locked by clicking
again or leaving the list or something)
→ Add an additional delay for activation of a category when you move the mouse
into the category list (maybe even configurable?)
→ Add a small favorites bar of some sort to kickoff (one could potentially have
a favbar as option for the primary actions bar?)
→ Maybe a system where if you are not in the favorites category the favorites
are pushed into a bar on the right side?

While some of these options would probably present an unreasonable amount of
work, something like an option to change only on click should be little effort.

[plasma-nm] [Bug 436995] New: Prevent network list from changing while selecting

Bug ID: 436995
   Summary: Prevent network list from changing while selecting

When opening the widget some networks might only appear after some time
potentially changing the order of the previous networks and thus leading to
very annoying behaviour. E. g. in my case I’m sometimes using a VPN to access
resources from the university network. Now the problem is that often right
before I click on the VPN entry some network gets detected, pushing down the
VPN, and thus it connects to the other network instead.

So it would be nice to have some sort of behaviour where new networks will be
appended to the bottom of the network list when you are currently hovering over
the network list, and only be resorted when you stop hovering over the list.

[frameworks-kio] [Bug 428073] New: KIO filesystem actions are very slow for small files

Created attachment 132618
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=132618&action=edit
IO using cp and kcp

Copying files over KIO is significantly slower than native filesystem actions
when performing on many small files.
I did a test with 4 files of 50K for
a) On a tmpfs cp took about a second, kcp took about 6 seconds. I guess this is
a good measure of the cpu overhead of KIO copy.
b) On a hard drive cp took about 53 seconds, kcp took about 3m41s. Now this is
a very significant difference.

I monitored the process in KSysGuard, and I found that copying over KIO leads
to much less reading operations per second and a much lower reading speed, as
you can see from the attached screenshots. (kcp reads data at about 1/10 of the
rate of cp!)

I guess one possible reason for this could be an artificial limit to read ops
to prevent system freezes on copy operations?

[kmail2] [Bug 496719] New: When using automatic line breaks length can be at most 78 characters

When setting the automatic line break column to something higher than the
default of 78 it has no effect. While it is generally advised to keep this
value a good bit under 80 I think it is not a good if the configuration
interface allows for larger values, but doesn’t use it.

I would thus suggest either limiting the numeric input to the hard limit the
program imposes, or alternatively to remove that hard limit and maybe display a
warning when a higher value is entered.
