It's simple : because I haven't programed it yet :-)

I don't use the standard KListBox because items are programed with QWidgets and I plan to allow horizontal/columns placment (as you suggested), as grid (will be cool for app launchers baskets) as well as free placed (moved and resized with mouse as in the original DropDrawers).

So I must program all this myself.
I've just posed basis of the new UI.
The live search will also be improved a very lot for 0.5.0final (checked items or not, search in filename, annotations, or not...)

And I plan to include the following settings :
( ) Single click
( ) Double click
(.) Follow KDE settings - Jun 18 2004

No no no :-)
I've forgoten to notice it :

The toolbar at the bottom is for my tests (select one item, two, no... and see if all actions are enabled/disabled when they are/aren't relevant).

The toolbar on the top is the *real* main toolbar.
It contain :
[NewBasket][BasketProperties] | [AddItem] | [Cut][Copy][Paste][Delete] | [Edit][EditMetaData][Open]
I think it's reasonable (10 buttons).
But I also think to add [AddTextItem][AddHTMLItem][AddLinkItem][AddImageItem][AddColorItem] to be able to add very quickly items by one click (or one keyboard shortcut : would love it).
Don't know if I will add it by default. I think not but it would be powerful. - Jun 15 2004

OK OK !

I will do that, if you are a lot to ask it.

But not for 0.5.0, sorry.
I have a lot of work to do between. - Jun 15 2004

With BasKet 0.5.0alpha2 I've implemented some awaited features such as scrollbars (once used to them I ask myself why I haven't done it before ;-) ) and live searchs (also very very usefull !).

I will continue this way in the next alpha : I will try Undo/Redo, do inline edition of texts and PERHAPSE freely positionnable/movable items (such as items in DropDrawers/Publisher/...).

That's a very lot of work !! - Jun 14 2004

Woops !

Thank you to qbast for the patch !

*** I've reuploaded basket-0.5.0-alpha1.tar.gz ***
*** So you can (re-)download it without trouble *** - May 05 2004

- Adjust the size of each items ?
Why ?
In a future version I will allow to make items squares that can be freely moved and resized.
Perhapse you will be satisfed by it.

- Yes... edit texts directly in the main window would be good also.
Later I will add image editors, sound editor...
This could be quite difficult to integrate all this. And items would must change size to allow cumfortable editing.
But I will perhapse allow what you ask.
It simply isn't a priority.
In the next version (certainly as soon as the next alpha version will be out) item editors will be 'Close button only' if user want. So a Escape key press will close the window and save item. A good begin I think.

From your previous post :

- Default font size will be changeable.
OK. I will take this notice in account in designing the new text style propertie (in two versions).

- Hum... I don't think (one more time : IMHO (I can be wrong)) have just the filename is good.
Because in the next version (will be available in the next alpha version) I will add file item type : it could be confusing.
Instead, I already changed the auto-title feature to transform "file:/home/username/" into "~/" : it's more concise and do not confuse with future included files.
Is it well ?

For now I've rewriten some parties of the software.
The forsawed 0.4.1 is renamed to 0.5.0 because theire are a lot of internal structure changes.
I will release an 0.5.0alpha1 version in one week or more.
And I will summarise the suggestions given here and include some ones...

++ - Apr 25 2004

Yes. A scrollbar will be cool.
Don't know when I will add it... I certainly must recode some things... But I've searched only a little about how to code it.
Perhapse in the next version, so.

paste up/down action ?
You perhapse mean a sort of stack feature ?
It is quite already possible : you can drop objects to the system tray icon.
And then re-drag them from the systray.
An option in the basket must be activated to allow to delete items that was dragged from the systray.
There is no shortcut to paste an item into the current app because I don't know how to do it. But KHotKey have this sort of features, so I could look at...

Is it that feature ? - Apr 17 2004

Hum...
I've thinked about it...
But it's quite complicated : Klipper have a powerful actions system.
BasKet is basically an advanced note pad, reminder, etc...
In few releases, baskets could mirror various things : deleted items, a live folder, and the clipboard...
But I can't add all Klipper features in BasKet : not the main goal.
Of course, some peoples do not use actions of Klipper : for them (including me) it could be an advanced Klipper (that show images...).
But not a replacment at all ! - Apr 15 2004

Now theire is a TRUE deutch translation :-) [v0.4.0c] !
Even if they are some duplicate accelerated shortcuts...
Will be resolved later. - Apr 14 2004

I don't understand what you mean.
Auto-hide when ?
When mouse leave the main window ?

I've thinked about a search engine.
But never thinked about a *live" search.
Good idea ! But it willn't for soon...
I will also add you idea : search in content, but *also* in meta-data...

> I'm thinking here about the very useful tool Powermarks (commercial,windows)
> http://www.kaylon.com/screen.html

As I can see, it's a bookmark manager.
It's not the goal of BasKet.
I don't want to add all sort of meta-data...

If you think some features could be cool to BasKet, please enumerate them...

It's not intended to be an advanced bookmark manager and replace kbookmark :)
My first usage is take notes of various formats and eventually with some related links, images...
But I've evolved and it can be used for more than that...
So I'm open to suggestions. - Apr 08 2004

I'm sorry.

I've confused Dutch (nl) and German (de) :-/
A quick look at i18n.kde.org can confirm this.

I've reuploaded BasKet 0.4.0b with the renamed de.po file to nl.po.

It's a Dutch translation and not a German one.

Please appologize for my mistake. - Apr 07 2004

> Basket is fantastic. [...] BasKet replaces all of it!

Cool ! I'm happy you're happy of it ;-)

> I think a kio slave would do that, right?

Yes !! I've also thinked about that.
But not for now...
In the next version, we would be able to store files in baskets ; and deal with files as well as items... And other related improvments (such as open items as files in normal applications : save will affect the item). So it's for after 0.4.1, and for that I foresaw other things :) In 0.5.0, I think... unless KIO slaves are easy and quick to code.

And the new KDE wide shortcuts add a very powerfull way : select a text and Ctrl+Shift+S will add the selection as a new item ! I love this.

> or at least be able to append to existing text clips via drag and drop

Yes : I've also thinked about that. I've so many ideas... :-D
Thank you to say me what's you need : I will take this in an upper priority when considering what's to implement !

> use BasKet in the Universal Sidebar panel

Who who ! More slowly ;-P
I will think about that. OK.
But have main window or tabs in other places modify the "gameplay" (yes it isn't the term) of the app : some globl shorcut do not apply here... It need some brainstorming.
OK : Universal Sidebar could be not so difficult.
Wait and see :)

I don't see what's you means...
But I'm very interested on new ideas !

So, first I must explain me :

My heberger, TuxFamily.org, has been hacked and will still be out for months.
I was wanting for a final 0.4.0 to make big changes on my site (new CSS design and site hierarchy)... On the hacking my site was in a inconsistent state to upload it. And I'm crazy, so it has took time :-)

So, now 0.4.0 is temporary released in my old site (but the heberger is slow to respond).

I haven't succed to change screenshot in kde-apps.org :-/ The new one is a lot better and nicer to look :-D

Hello,

This program is very good !

But it's quite a paint to create and edit bootsplash.
It's would be good to have a quck editor to place items on the splashscreen : basically text, messages and the bar.
We could have the image displayed and just click and drag to place a box, eventually with QLineEdits to have per pixels/characters settings.
And then compress it to a file.

Mandrake, in 9.1, was having this sort of tool.
But it isn't provided and it was just by adjusting per pixels/characters, so not very user-friendly.

What about this idea ? - May 09 2004

I'm congratulated be a wait of few secunds and a criticism warning as my password is bad !!

I love to have all in one window / screen so feel as KDM/Windows is better for me than GDM way but it would be good to to not make the mistake :

>> If enter is pressed in the login name, look if the user can log without pw and do it if yes. If no, go to the password field if it is empty, and try connect if it contain data.
I think it's the better algo.
I don't can try it on the current KDM (I do not use pw and don't want to down my "KDE uptime" :-) ).

And its good also because newbees to not know the Tab key !
For them Enter is the more logicial way (I think... after the mouse, of course).

It's a good work because users also want to access theire devices.
And perhapse they don't want to see a lot of icons on theire desktop !

It's a good work to group all devices in a simple icon / window.

BUT, I have one problem :
Why "*My* Computer" ??
It's a windows terme.
KDE do not append "My " in all it's paths...
Not "My home" but "Home.
Not "My documents" but "Documents".
Not "My images" but "Images"...
It's even worth for a computer : in a multi-user environment the computer is for all users : not only "Me". Think in a society or a university : the computers are not mines :-)

So GNOME is well : "Computer" : as easily. And it allow to browse folders with keyboard : if all files / folders begin with "My" it's a nighmare !

I totaly agree :
- It's useful and must be made available (perhapse not activated by default, but it's another discution).
- Desktop must be grayed/alpha-ed... So it will be CLEAR that the capture/windows is/are not usable yet.

I've recently downloaded a KSplash that use the redmond engine.
All the desktop is hidden by a beatiful splash image.
And startup seem faster AND less uggly (more fluide).
We don't see all the applications flashing, etc... We just see a final desktop when it's done.

IMHO, this sort of loadind must be a KSplash engine !!
IE : Users can easily choose between the actual splash screen or see the old desktop.
Because after all, it's a splash screen (or it can easily considered as a splash screen).
If anyone try to code this engine, it could start from the redmond engine, and include the progressbar of the OSX engine.
What must be added is just the save screenshot at KDE exit, with grayed. This save must be done only if the "Show final desktop capture" engine is selected as a splash screen.

But what harm me is the uggly "darking" of KDE when we log out (animated black pixels).
GNOME (animated luminosity decrease) or XP (animated alpha increase) are very cool. But KDE one is a old-aged look, IMHO.
Users should be able to configure what sort of graying/blacking they want :
- Color to... [Black, Blue...]
- Transform to alpha x%
- Play with luminosity to x%
- Play with contrast to x%
- Blurifie
- Invert colors
- Use the actual uggly 3 pixeled frames
- Use the old 1 frame graying (Windows 95 style) [for slow computers]
It's already doable for icons (but not so detailed). So, why not for logout screeen ?

And then, take the screenshot AFTER the graying.
And perhapse after the load, invert the process : cool and consistent.
To resume :
- Log out : gray to 50% black
- Log out confirmed, reboot, and relog in
- Log in : see the grayed version (with progress bar/dialog)
- Load done : ungray from 50% to normal and close the screenshot/splash : we see the *real* desktop as we leaved it. The user do not see the computer was having to relaunch apps and reload session : it's transparent. And that is right. - Apr 16 2004

- Save thr profile (the splited view, the icon sizes / view, the URLs...) in a konquy profile (openable with a desktop shortcut)...

In Konqueror file associations, I've added an app that can open all files (or just texts, if you want) :

Name : "KWrite (administrator)"
Command : "kdesu kwrite"
Icon : "kedit" (the same as KWrite, but red :-) )

And for folders, I've added a Open with command :

Name : "Konqueror (administrator)"
Command : "kdesu konqueror"
Icon : "kfm" (not found : perhapse folder_red much more expressive)

I prefere this way because "Edit as..." is quite the same as "Open with..."
And we can opens files / folders in a lot of apps :-) [kfm, konqueror, for folders ; kwrite, emacs for text files...]

It's much more praticall than open a konsole ! Cool.

Yes.
I agree with your two requests.
For me it's the more important / urgent.

On Windows I use ObjectDock. :
http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/
It's a very powerful tool because :
- I would want to unclutter my desktop and free my kicker of all app launchers
- So I want to have a list of numerous apps, in an unobtrusive way : autohide critically wanted for me to adopt such a program. Even more that the screen space in wasted.
- By tries, place the bar on bottom is obtrusive when I want to access kicker/taskbar. On top, the bar reappears each time I move my cursor in other place than my workspace : the top.
So I would want to also place bar on left (as I do in Windows), or on right, if you want.

Now, edit a xml file is a lot of pain.
AI often add/remove applications, or new versions (such as gimp-1.3 with gimp in the same time : I create a gimp-1.3 icon in my kicker/bar and will remove it sooner). So drag and drop entries from the KMenu/.desktop file would be good. As well as creating new items.
I suggest you to use the .desktop format to be compliant with KMenu/kicker (and more easily programable). - Mar 30 2004
