Bringing Cantata under the KDE umbrella?

2023-02-19 Thread Heiko Becker

Hi,

Cantata is a Qt based MPD client, which was archived by its original author 
[1]. I started some porting to Qt6 but I wondered (and was asked in 
#kde-devel today) if it would make sense to move it to KDE's 
infrastructure? Despite being archived, it still works quite nicely. And 
while there are already a few music players on invent, there is none with 
support for MPD. 

Would anybody object to bringing it under the KDE umbrella? 


Regards,
Heiko

Regarding GSoC idea for integration of Firefox Sync in Falkon

2023-02-19 Thread Shivodit
Hello,

I am a Computer Science student who is looking to contribute to KDE in this
year's GSoC. I saw the idea to integrate Firefox Sync into Falkon on KDE's
GSoC idea list for 2020. Is the idea still open to contributors?

Thanks,
Shivodit

I see, that's unfortunate. Maybe I'll take a look at it as a project
outside of GSoC.

Also, does this mean that only the ideas listed in the 2023 GSoC idea list
are available to contributors for this year's GSoC?

Thanks,
Shivodit

Hello,

No, there is noone to support the idea on the Falkon side.
The idea was not finished though.

Best regards.

I would say that is the case.
But all can change when you ask involved people, it requires some luck.

Re: Easy mouse settings changing from right- to left-handed

Hey, wasn't too hard after all ;-) Actually, I solved this not by listening to 
some DBUS signal, but by simply watching the respective RC file for changes.

Here we are. Just FYI I uploaded what I wrote to
https://invent.kde.org/tleupold/mousetoggler

Does the job, shows if "Left-handed" is activated or not, and toggles this 
setting with one click.

But still, maybe, someone could give me (QML n00b) a hand?

When I test the plasmoid with "plasmoidviever -a package" (inside the sources, 
after compiling the plugin and installing it), it's shown as it should be, 
everything works ... but when I try to add it to my desktop or the task bar, 
nothing happens. No plasmoid is added ... no error message, simply nothing. 
What's wrong? How can I even debug this?

Sorry for asking dumb questions, I never worked with QML before ...

Thanks again for all help!

My only 2 concerns are:

 * Is anyone going to work on it? I guess you?
 * Can we have an agreement by the original author so we can take over the 
trademark?

Yes.

I mailed him about it and will share the reply here.
