Plasma Active Application

Plasma 5 Applets by avlas 8 comments

Thanks! Please note that this applet is unmaintained in favor of https://store.kde.org/p/1274218/ You should probably used this instead as it is better integrated with Latte and other Plasma applets (especially Buttons and the unofficial Appmenu). - Feb 16 2019

Plasma Active Application

Plasma 5 Applets by avlas 8 comments

Yes, that's right, but Active Application is meant to be as coherent as possible with plasma global menu, which does not allow changing the font either, but uses the system one. I think this is a nice default, as you can modify system's font to your likes. I wonder, why would you want to change just the font of this applet if you cannot change the one of the global menu? - Nov 11 2018

Dolphin Service Menus by GiuseppeBenigno 33 comments

Missing this quite a lot in Bionic (18.04)... I hope we get pdftk back at some point, but in the meantime very basic functionality can be restored using poppler-utils, as for instance pdfseparate and pdfunite tools.

Simple Menu

Plasma 5 Menus by Sho 146 comments

I agree it's a very nice menu for plasma 5. It would be my preferred but I miss two nice features from the default launchers in plasma:

1. Rapid access to recent/most used files and applications (actually, why recent vs most used, why cannot both be enabled if wanted?)

2. Modifier only shortcuts cannot be used, in addition to ESC, to exit the menu.

Is there any hope that these two features will be added at some point?

Also, I wonder if there is any place where I could make a more proper feature requests (e.g. kde or github). - May 31 2017

Kup Backup System

System Software by sideshow 225 comments

I guess this is because lost+found belongs to the root user and Kup currently cannot backup files belonging to third users (root included).

I would highly appreciate to have the option to enable admin backups from the kcm shell.

Thanks btw Sideshow for porting Kup to KF5! I am glad I can use Kup again :) - Mar 07 2016

Kup Backup System

System Software by sideshow 225 comments

Ok, thanks anyway.

In my case, my home partition (for work) is about 500GB with continuous data change, so after one year it can be quite a lot.

But the most important reason comes from hidden temporary files. Such a big backup takes a while and in the meantime those temporary files are created and removed by just browsing to give an example. The result is a backup fail, which is a bit annoying, although at the end if you check the log most of the times is due to that or to some "root" file in the home which you don't have the permissioins to backup, etc.

It would be informative to inform better about failed backups for the common user as they may worry too much for some minors like those, that were not even pretended to be backed up.

Would you agree? - Feb 03 2015

Kup Backup System

System Software by sideshow 225 comments

Forgot to say. It would be great to have that feature in the interface, but that may take more time. In the time being having the option to introduce it in kuprc would be nice. - Dec 16 2014

Kup Backup System

System Software by sideshow 225 comments

Hi,

Not sure if has been requested before or not, but it would be very helpful. For instance, I want to exclude all hidden files and folders and this would be very easy this way.

There is an option for this in bup already: --exclude-rx, so I think this should be relatively easy to implement.

One may say that this can be done manually. But, beyond being more comfortable, it also has the advantage that it would continue working after new hidden files and folders are created, without each time having to check and remove them manually.

For instance, when using new applications, new hidden files and folders about settings are usually created, and if not wanted, this just represents spam in the backup. Some users may not be aware of this, or don't want to care about checking each time. Hence, this feature from bup would be very powerful...

Let me know what you think.

Thanks - Dec 16 2014

KFolderSync

Utilities by Vindex17 56 comments

Hi,

Nice application. One thing that could be improved is conflicts when using the bilateral synch. This happens when files have been changed in the two paths. Currently, KFolderSync automatically synchronizes the file with the latest modification, which may not be always the best. For instance when working on a file in two different computers, it might be that a point one forgets to synch last changes before start working on the different machine, and if so, previous changes will be lost without notification.

I typically work in this conditions and use unison, which asks what to do in such cases, whether to take the local vs remote machine, to see the diff, etc. Take a look in http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

I think that if this works as in Unison, then a distinction between Synch and Bilateral Synch may not be necessary.

Also, it would be great to combine the previous with the backups, and that would be a clear advantage with respect to Unison. It would work the same as before, but instead of only keeping a copy of the file (the latest), it would keep all history of modifications, no matter the folder or the computer they were made.

I see a great potential with Bilateral Incremental Backups that correctly deal with conflicts. Right now I use Unison for Bilateral Synch and Kup for incremental backups (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Kup+Backup+System?content=147465)

Thanks and best! - Jul 10 2014

Active Application

Plasma 4 Extensions by avlas 62 comments

I don't see anything in http://paste.chakra-project.org/5419/ that relates at all with the plasmoid, neither with plasma_applet_activeapp.so nor with plasma-applet-activeapp.desktop, so I have no clue to see whether your crash it's related to the plasmoid and if so, where to start trying to fix it :/

You are sure it's the plasmoid because if you remove it, crashes are gone? - Oct 17 2013

Active Application

Plasma 4 Extensions by avlas 62 comments

It covers my basic needs and I don't have time for much now.

Are you sure this plasmoid is the one that makes plasma to crash? Show me the backtrace or some debug information and I'll try to take a look...

Btw my programming skills in KDE/Qt are low too :) - Oct 14 2013

Is there a debug command I could use in the terminal to give you some more specific information?

Kup Backup System

System Software by sideshow 225 comments

That's why I'd like Kup to accept different backends, especially rsync. That would be really neat (!) as currently a lot of people rely on rsync for their backups.

Would this be difficult to implement? - Feb 20 2013

TARDIS

Plasma 4 Extensions by fatg3rman 32 comments

I installed tardis 0.05 from ppa first, but failed, so I tried with zip and worked, so I kept with it also for 0.06.

What is expected behavior if a backup takes too long to finish and new backup is scheduled before the first has finished? I may be in that situation and what I see is that second backup is skipped silently.

About roadmap, yeah, I understand, I was just wondering wether you already have some ideas in mind for future versions...

The nice feature in kup that I mentioned is that it detects when the external drive is connected, and even unmounted if the time since last backup is longer than scheduled, kup starts a new backup (or alternatively, depending on configuration, it asks about starting a new backup). If I have some time, I might take a look to see how easy/difficult it would be to add this feature...

Sorry if I bother you too much, I like tardis a lot, and hopefully my comments can help to improve it a bit - Dec 31 2012
