I would give each view mode its own config value and adjust the code with conditionals; that's not a problem. There are no backwards compatibility concerns here if you do that, except for people currently using list view with gigantic icons, which will become small, fixing the bug. If they complain, we can just tell them that it was a bug and if they want huge list icons again, they'll have to configure them that way deliberately. :)

Alternatively we can give up on allowing the icon size in list view to be configured and just always use a small size.

I still don't think we need three values in the config file for only two view modes.

Abandoning the existing iconSize config value and adding a new one called gridViewIconSize means that everyone'e existing icon view size will be reset, since nothing will be reading from the iconSize values in the config files anymore. You have two options here:

  1. Don't abandon iconSize for the icon view; keep using it even though its name isn't perfectly descriptive anymore
  2. Create a kconf update script to migrate people's config files so that the existing iconSize values get transformed into gridViewIconSize See https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tools/Using_kconf_update

I did the changes above like you said in the patch above.
I didn't applied it yet, because on testing that same patch, I discovered a bug. I reverted the changes ( after saving the work in the above patch ) and tested the current implementation and it also has the bug.

Using separate configs for list and icon mode

pereira.alex added a comment to D28057: Fix folderview popup mode list view icon size inheriting icon view icon size.

Thanks!

Now we have a new problem though: the default icon size for list view is synchronized with the default icon size for icon view, so it's now gigantic by default:

We need for the default value itself to be different for icon vs list view, while allowing each one to be independent. Probably the cleanest way to do this is to define a new value in the config file for the default list view icon size (could be called something like listViewIconSize) and then change makeIconSize() (good thing you kept it, lol) to return return FolderTools.iconSizeFromTheme(plasmoid.configuration.listViewIconSize) when it's in list view.

Does that make sense?

250 is fine, and yeah, on x11 risks more to stutter.
what would be needed is perhaps having a single, kdeglobals level setting for animation duration.

Oh look, we have that now. :)

@pereira.alex, maybe you would be interested in porting this effect (and perhaps others too) to read the duration from that setting?

pereira.alex added a comment to D11976: Change/improve default settings of glide effect.

The idea how the glide effect was implemented is to have this angle. The defaults have not been changed since the effect got introduced.

As this is an effect not enabled by default I do not see the need to change any default settings.

Tilt nowadays may be too much wobbly , and being default the user might be put off immediatly. Btw tilt was not one of the original purposes of Glide. At least not when I developed it.

So, it has nothing to do with http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Animation#Glide_1 ?

-1, sorry. (please notice that I'm not a member of KWin so you shouldn't worry what I think ;-)

Having tilt is one of the purposes(or key components) of the glide effect. IIRC Glide 1 from Compiz also has some angle.

I thought that was the point of the glide effect.

With these new params it looks pretty much like scale effect.

As the initial author of the glide effect ( then code was cleaned and improved by the kwin team ), there was something I should have done at the time : Change the defaults !
I never really planned it to be like in the default manner.

I am new here, hope i am not out of order by replying here but using TLP before made my desktop computer freeze randomly from time to time. It was quite a hard to figure out it was TLP's fault because it was quite random ( it seems it was a problem between TLP and ssd disk ).
