all my respect for your work, but if you feel that krunner is unusable due to its bugs why don't you try to work on them instead of writing a totally new piece of code which has much less capability? - Jun 28 2010

great! anyway if you're waiting for ideas, you already had one: the tabbed group! it shouldn't be too difficult. you see, it took me 2 days to do the stacking group!
if you have some free time and you want to do it, maybe you could drop on irc, in #plasma. i'm often there.

Ciao! - Jun 19 2010

Well, i've already thought of doing it, it's only a matter of time. currently i'm focusing on bug fixing (the svn version is already more stable then the one here), and i would like to restart the work on the panel containment.
From your last line it seems you are a developer and you tried to code a thing like this. Am i right? If so you're really welcome to contribute! :-) - Jun 18 2010

qt 4.6 introduced a change in its dbus module that caused playwolf to not work. to make it work it would require a bit of work and currently i'm busy with other things. so i'm sorry but you'll have to live without it for a bit :) - May 10 2010

well, it's a long time i don't try the now playing plasmoid so i don't know what it does now. but i don't think it shows the lyrics and the ratings nor it allows to open amarok with a click.
anyway sinced qt 4.6 playwolf has some big problems that aren't so easy to solve. - Mar 15 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 322 comments

actually i forgot to update the version number in the .desktop file, so it says 0.7.2 even if it is 0.8.x. you can check if it is the new version seeing if there is the lyrics extender.

Anyway i saw the bug you encounter isn't solved as i thought, and it seems it isn't so easy to fix. as a workaround if you open the extender it will immediately fill the information. - Feb 21 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 322 comments

i can't understand... from that backtrace it seems playwolf is somehow mis-using the extenders. but the fact i can't reproduce the crash and that you're the only one reporting this makes me think there is a problem with opensuse packaging or your configuration. can you try to remove your plasma-desktop-appletsrc and see if it still crashes?
the fact you must remove and re-add it in order to make it show the informations is caused by the old version. you must compile it from sources or wait to opensuse to update the package to fix it. - Feb 14 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 322 comments

that's really strange... playwolf doesn't appear in that backtrace, are you sure it is playwolf which causes the crash? anyway the second line says "... ?? () from /usr/lib/libplasma.so.3". it seems you're missing some debug package. it would be useful if you could resolve that. - Feb 10 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 322 comments

it seems that method, Plasma::TextEdit::setReadOnly() exists since kde 4.4. didn't know that. Anyway you can fix it changing line 27 of lyricswidget.cpp with 'static_cast<KTextEdit *>(widget)->setReadOnly(true);' and adding on the top the line '#include <ktextedit.h>'. That way it should compile. - Jan 13 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 322 comments

it's not that. reboot your pc and it won't work again :).
the problem is that if plasma is started before amarok then dbus won't deliver the messages. don't know why before didn't happen, maybe something changed in QtDbus between 4.5 and 4.6.
Anyway i'm working on it. - Jan 10 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 322 comments

i'm not sure what you mean... i mean, if you have it in an horizontal panel i don't think it makes sense to resize its height. The same thing for a vertical panel. If you use it in the desktop instead you can resize it freely as you resize any other plasmoid. - Dec 20 2009

Hi,

-i don't know if i've understood what you mean; you can collapse the extenders as you collapse the notifications.

-as for choosing what to add, many asked me about this, but i didn't do that yet because of the complexity, and i didn't want to provide 1000 checkboxes in the configuration dialog. but i have an idea: since i'm now developing a desktop and a panel with the support for grouping applets
(http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Grouping+Desktop?content=116926), when they'll be ready i could make for each component of playwolf an applet so you could put inside a group what you want how you want. it would be possible to configure the popup too. - Dec 17 2009
Grouping Desktop

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 93 comments

yes, i think it could be possible. a group could layout the applets in that way and bring on the front the applet you want when you want.
anyway i'm sorry but you must wait a bit. i just started the panel containment and i think it will take a bit. - Dec 12 2009
Grouping Desktop

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 93 comments

i don't think i've completely understood what you mean: you mean that the plasmoids parially cover each other and clicking on one of them you bring it to the top?
anyway, pretty much all the ways to arrange them could be done from a technical point of view. - Dec 12 2009

This is really a good applet, but in my opinion you' ve taken the wrong approach. you had to make a containment rather than an applet, so this could embed other applets inside it, like simply kickoff, that now you work-arounded with dolphin and applications:/, or stask instead of developing a new task manager plugin - Oct 23 2009

you define them yourself when you add new plasmoids. if you have put a plasmoid into it and want to put another in another column you drag it on the left or on the right of the first plasmoid, otherwise you drag it on the top or the bottom. - Sep 26 2009
