Failed compilation of KDevelop
Hello! I successfully built kde from trunk and wanted to build and install KDevelop in my kde-devel user directory. However, something went wrong, it installed kdevplatform without any problems, but when I tried to compile KDevelop it complains about some headers of kasten not found. I've built the kdesdk module, kasten headers and libs are in the installation directory, so what's the problem? These are the files which aren't found by compiler: - stringsextracttoolviewfactory.h - bytearrayview.h - kasten/bytearrayview.h - Kasten/AbstractToolViewFactory - kasten/bytearrayrawfilesynchronizerfactory.h Thank you all for the attention! >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
Season of Usability Call For Projects
Hello Everyone, Some of you may remember the OpenUsability Season of Usability [1] from a few years ago. After one year off, we are at it again. If you have a project that you would be interested in having a usability/design intern for a few months, please let me know. Thanks! ~ Celeste [1] http://www.openusability.org/index.php/sou/about-the-season -- Celeste Lyn Paul KDE Usability Project KDE e.V.

Could somebody please have a look at Bug 265051?
Hi, I usually wouldn't bother the mailing list with requests for bug fixes, however this bug is really a show-stopper for people using kde with different resolutions (like laptop users with an external monitor), and as far as I've seen there was not a single comment from a KDE developer. It would be great to see it fixed in 4.6.x, before people are plagued by bugs introduced in 4.7. When the panel width exceeds the monitor's resolution, it isn't resized. Wouldn't be too bad, however the config cashew is on the right side - so the only work-arround I found was to remove the panel and re-create it as it was. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265051 That worked perfectly in KDE-4.5, but regressed in 4.6. Thanks, Clemens >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
Proposal of user input style global setting
Hello, I've got a proposal about different user input styles e.g. touch input devices and pointer/mouse input devices. I think it's obvious that they differs considerably. As I can assume, Qt and KDE move to be more touch-friendly. Due to MeeGo or something else. And that's good. But sometimes it hurts mouse usability so much. In some cases these two concepts are simply opposite. I think the current way to find some common behavior fails as it ignores strengths of each concepts. I think some kind of global setting should be added to KDE to allow applications to know what input style to use. And application is free to implement both or only one by itself. This can keep all the strengths of one (current) concept without sacrificing another. And user can always change the desired behavior. Just a couple of cases for now: 1. The feature that was introduced in Qt 4.7 - you can drag the window clicking on unused area. Quite cool on touch devices. But the sense unclear for mouse. I can always hit Alt and do the same if I want. I'll do it on purpose this way. And now hundreds of errors every day when you just clicked wrong or didn't pointed very well and the window went the opposite display corner just by one click and minimal movement. Personally me it disturbs very much. 2. Microblogging plasmoid. The list of messages uses kinetic scrolling. Very good for touch devices. But I can't select any text of message and copy it. I hope this proposal can improve user experience and can make the whole KDE ecosystem more user-friendly. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
KMail
Hello, I would like to try to add a few features to kmail and I'm hoping for a little bit of a push in the right direction. I'm working on a Fedora 14 box so it would appear that I should start with kdepimlibs-4.6.2-1 src rpm. So with that said I here are my questions: 1) Where is kmail? I see everything except kmail. 2) Are KDE apps built like Qt apps? 3) Any other words of advice to someone new to developing KDE apps? Thanks for your time & help, Anthony >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<

I suggest taking a look at TechBase for more information on how KDE development works: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Software_Engineering_Framework and http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute, for example. For KMail in specific, getting in contact with the other kdepim developers (via IRC and mailing lists) is highly recommended. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
Re: KMail
Hi Anthony, It's usually best to get the most up to date source code when developing new features, which means retrieving it from git. The reason you didn't find kmail in kdepimlibs is because this package contains just the libraries, not the applications themselves. 1) KMail is in the kdepim repository. You can get it using this command: "git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kdepim". You can browse all projects in http://projects.kde.org 2) No, KDE uses CMake as build system. In order to build a software, you should use the following commands inside the repository's root dir: mkdir build; cd build cmake .. make 3) Take some time reading articles in techbase.kde.org, there are a lot of technical info about KDE in there. You can also join the irc channel #kde-devel on freenode.net and ask people there.

Hello
Not sure if salutations are appropriate on the dev mailing list, however I would like to say that I would like to become a contributer to KDE. I am a documentor in Fedora, and I can patch and fix bugs. I am a University Student as well and have always promoted KDE. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
Re: Hello
Hi Brock, Very glad to hear that. Welcome to KDE - the most awesome-est community on earth :) Cheers, On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 7:06 AM, Brock Hudson wrote: > Not sure if salutations are appropriate on the dev mailing list, however I > would like to say that I would like to become a contributer to KDE.
