ngraham closed T13631: Consolidate using addons/extras/plugins repos as Wontfix.

We've decided instead to alert distros to pre-install these repos, rather than consolidate them and make them mandatory. See https://community.kde.org/Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations.

I don't think volunteers can fix this problem. However, volunteers might be able to understand that there is a problem.

Dolphin still doesn't look anything like this and even that cyan border is still there. While I understand the need to redesign a major app, all the other QT apps look just as bad or worse. A lot of this is down to the theme engine. There's been some kind of theme change recently but it hasn't made anything better - arguably worse by blending in the titlebar with the window chrome without making the whitespace in the chrome actually act like a titlebar. For the love of god people, please take the well thought out platforms as your point of reference - Windows 95, Mac OS, even Gnome ... anything. (sorry if this sounds hostile - as a dedicated KDE user I mean well).

fbg13 added a comment to D20532: Proof of Concept: Add double click actions to empty space in the folder view.

From Elvis (dolphin maintainer):

The original patch had problems too, but if someone wants to improve it feel free to work on it.

In the context it would be this diff here.

So it just depend on contribution.

There are been demand for this feature enough that Elvis, Nate or me would accept a patch as long as it is configurable.

meven added a comment to D20532: Proof of Concept: Add double click actions to empty space in the folder view.

Here's a recap. I might accept the patch if:

  1. The double-click triggers a single action. Could be "Go Up" like requested in the past or could be "Select All" like suggested on reddit. We should carefully choose which action to use.
  2. The double-click does not trigger the action if the user misclicks an item, because that would be very annoying. An easy solution could be to only enable the feature in single-click mode. Proper solution would be to check whether the double-click happens near an item, for some definition of near.

@elvisangelaccio
Please make it happen. This feature is very useful - especially middle button click on empty space, which can be assigned to "Paste file" function, as mentioned above.

knecker added a comment to D20532: Proof of Concept: Add double click actions to empty space in the folder view.

Aah, a pity that is has been abandoned. For Windows, there is an explorer addon called QTTabbar which has exactly this function (going up on double-click) and I never thought, that such a small thing could increase my workflow that drastically. It would have been very nice to see this in Dolphin. Anyhow, thanks for the effort.

rokejulianlockhart added a comment to T11663: Move URL Navigator into toolbar.

"http://phabricator.kde.org/T11663#212651" is my favourite, because which path is for which tab is obvious. Having the bar dynamically adjust is not intuitive, and if many tabs are present, is able to inhibit productivity if the user is duplicating multiple paths to their clipboard.

meven added a comment to T12641: Refactor KFileProtocol::copy.

copy https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/copy.c#L301 use https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/copy_file_range.2.html or https://github.com/coreutils/gnulib/blob/master/lib/full-write.h
Did not know about copy_file_range, it was introduced in kernel 4.5 and improved/reworked in 5.3 apparently.
It is simply newer than sendfile (but older than io_uring), it seems to be just almost a drop-in replacement for sendfile with reflink aka COW support for supporting fs built-in.
That should be the next area for investigation, it is way simpler than our current reflink support, but it is Linux only.

Another possibility I've still not checked would be integrating kio-fuse into Dokany's FUSE wrapper, I don't know how complex it'd be or even if it's stable, but in this way the KIOs could be shipped independently.

I hope this is the proper place to ask about this:
I downloaded the latest artifact and installed it.
Problem is, it always complains about expat.dll, see screenshot:


Tell me if any more info is required, or if this issue is not related to the program and instead lies in my Windows installation.

You want packaging changes, not source changes

That's kind of the problem; some distros don't do the right thing here, and contacting every distro is not really feasible. Yes, you can say, "well X distro does it right, people should just use X distro", but that's not a realistic perspective given that we encourage our software to be widely packaged. The perspective I'm coming from is that of trying to improve the user experience for all of our users, not just those who choose distros that are well-packaged. I see the fact that our software can be mis-packaged as a problem in the first place.

sitter added a comment to T13631: Consolidate using addons/extras/plugins repos.

Distributions do split stuff as they feel like, even when we put everything into one source. e.g. on debian kdeplasma-addons is split into 7 binary packages, I am not sure why, meanwhile kio-extras is split in two (with thumbnailers and slaves being in the same .deb, mind you).
Being able to mispackage is a fact of life in free software. The only real way to stop that is to start embracing flatpaks and snaps.

I don't think debian maintaners will do this, https://invent.kde.org/sdk/dolphin-plugins is separate repository, and i want dolphin-plugins be merged in dolphin, so all distros will benefit from this.

@soredake - You are barking up the wrong tree. You want packaging changes, not source changes, i.e. install the plugins as soon as dolphin is installed. Talk to your distro maintainers to make this happen.

I don't see what wrong with merging dolphin-plugins into main dolphin, git integration is useful for devs, dropbox integration is useful for all, "mount iso" should be available by default too, like in windows/macos.

Pulling e.g. the thumbnailers into kio is a complete no-no. They have all kinds of third-party dependencies.
