No, it's not here. I just found out in a Suse forum that it is for some unknown reason absent from the OS 4.8 builds.
I would build it on my own, but version 0.9.2 fails. The standard task bar has improved, but I really want the dockmanager plugins and the better handling of launchers back. - Jan 28 2012

Do you have OpenSuse, too?
After the update to 4.8 I can't find Icon-tasks any more (plasma-addons is installed, the previous version of Icon-tasks was uninstalled before the update).

A source which I can compile against 4.8 would be very very nice. :-) - Jan 28 2012

OK, thanks. I've got TLS and need to use port 143 (where I get the error message cited above, with SSL). With SSL and port 993 I just get a timeout after a few minutes. - Apr 09 2011

OK, shame on me, I've just learnt that TLS and SSL are the same...
Anyhow, although I have the same settings as with KMail, with the plasmoid I get the following error message:

_ssl.c:499: error:140770FC:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO
:unknown protocol - Apr 08 2011

Funny, I had just changed the main.py in order to accept my kdewallet, when I saw the new version 0.18. But now I can't change my settings, I'll check on this again after re-login...

Thanks for this nice plasmoid, but I'm afraid, I can't use it now as my imap has TLS encryption which is not yet supported. Would it be possible to add this, when you have time?
It would be also nice, if you could configure the notifications in order to start kmail directly when new mail hits your inbox, like in this plasmoid: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/mail_plasmoid?content=98952 - it seems to be unmaintained, unfortunately (can't compile it in SC 4.6). - Mar 28 2011

Yeah, it's working now, thanks a lot!

Jes, nun bone funkcias, multan dankon! :-) - Mar 02 2011

I didn't change anything in the python file, as I am no coder and don't understand how that works.

So it seems to come from SC 4.4 vs. 4.6? Can you or someone else test it on other installations?

A workaround would be to add tooltips to the combo menu. - Mar 02 2011

Please take a look at www.cyrilbrosch.net/lernu-plasmoid.png - on my computers (15" with OpenSuse 11.4, 13" with OpenSuse 11.3, both SC 4.6.0) the combo box is so small that I actually can't see which language combination I'm selecting.
I had a look at the code, but I don't know how to change the sizes, could you please fix it?

Amike,
Kirilo - Mar 01 2011

Bonege, multan dankon!

"All text must be in English."

Use the dictionary plasmoid to translate what I wrote. ;-) - Mar 01 2011

Take a look at the panel version of the Konsole applet, maybe that implementation is helpful: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Konsole+Applet?content=134569 - Feb 21 2011

Quickaccess is very useful, as I don't need to open Dolphin for my work folder.
It would be even more useful with bigger folders, if you could add a(n optional) filter bar in order to find a specific file.
Thanks in advance for considering the idea. - Feb 18 2011

Thanks for the new version. Now it shows up for a second or two (showing "fetching information"), but then it crashes the desktop (OpenSuse 11.3, SC 4.5.3).
I get the following backtrace:

Same output in PCLinuxOS, too. I've checked the python modules, there is no such module 'phonon' (or similar).

BTW: Why does the plasmoid need multimedia output? - Nov 23 2010

Sure, here's the output from OpenSuse (I don't have the other machine at hand now, I'll check later):

>>> from PyQt4 import Phonon
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name Phonon

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> from PyQt4 import phonon.Phonon

from PyQt4 import phonon.Phonon
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I've checked my packages: libphonon, python-qt4 and python-kde4 are installed. - Nov 23 2010

Yes, of course.
I just tested it on my other machine: It's not working on both OpenSuse 11.3 and PCLinuxOS 2010, both with KDE SC 4.5.3. Other Python plasmoids are working well.
May you have built in some non-standard dependency? - Nov 22 2010

Doesn't work with me, too. Here's the output:

I changed the icon from "terminal" to "utilities-terminal", which looks much nicer IMHO, see http://www.cyrilbrosch.net/konsole-popup.png - Nov 18 2010

Works fine here (OpenSuse 11.3, KDE SC 4.5.3), very nice and useful, thanks alot! - Nov 18 2010

Thanks for this plasmoid!

Is there any way for you to enable a localization? I mean the item I follow in the German ebay is shown with in US Dollars instead of Euros. - Sep 01 2010

OK, convinced.
Maybe the Plasma devs could hide the option somewhere deep in the settings, so that it doesn't *cough* confuse some users, while experienced users tend to dig through all those tabs anyhow and will find it useful. - Aug 26 2010

You can already find this option in the settings of the "Smooth tasks" plasmoid, which I strongly recommend as a stable and feature-rich replacement for the original task manager.

I must say that I don't really see a need for yet another derivation (after Stasks, Smooth tasks, even Fancy tasks) which does basically the same thing. - Aug 26 2010

The first problem you mention is just the cause why I use neither playwolf nor the built-in now-playing widget, but now-rocking (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Now+Rocking?content=106304), where you can have a custom picture (I use an Amarok icon as I usually don't use other players). - Jul 06 2010

Hello,

sorry, if I'm ignorant (maybe it's broken by design), but is there no way to apply this as a patch to Plasma? - May 15 2010

Oh, sorry for carrying coals to Newcastle. ;-)

Maybe it would be nice to have an option of dis-/enabling dwarf planets. I have no idea, however, whether one can specify the orbit of Eris, Haumea, Varuna etc. at all. - Apr 16 2010

Hello,

this applet is very nice (works fine here in SC 4.4.2), but why is Pluto still in there? Since 2006 it is classified as one of many dwarf planets, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto - Apr 16 2010

Sure, I don't know Bangarang well and KMP only from the description, so maybe the similarities are only superficially. As I'm no coder, I have no idea whether sharing code for some basic things well be useful. - Apr 11 2010

Ŝajne ĉi tiu retpaĝo ne ŝatas ĉapelitajn literojn. ;-)

(Kaj damne, ĉi tion mi NE skribas angle :-P) - Apr 11 2010

Hello,

maybe you can join forces with the Bangarang media player (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Bangarang?content=113305), both projects seems very similar to me. - Apr 11 2010

Thanks for the script.
Could you please make it possible to localize it (as many other scripts, eg. http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Copy+Selected+Tracks?content=119179 ), I don't like to alter the main.js file, because all changes are lost at update. - Mar 15 2010

For my home use I translate all Amarok scripts I have into German.
I'm glad I can share it in this case: http://www.cyrilbrosch.net/de.js - Mar 15 2010

Hi,

I tried with .jpeg, .jpg, .gif and .png from various sources (Camera, Scans, comics from the Internet), which certainly aren't all corrupted.

Maybe it's an issue with KDE SC 4.4? - Feb 17 2010

Do you have to enable the option to show the time in the official plasmoid before compiling, or is it something in the rc scripts?

In the latter case, it would be nice if you could point to me which script it is. - Feb 17 2010

open a konsole in the folder you downloaded the plasmoid to and type

tar -xvf plasmoid.tar.gz
cd plasmoid
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make

as root (via the commands sudo or su) type

make install
kbuildsycoca4

If there are compiler errors, install developing packages like cmake, libstd++, gcc etc. - Feb 17 2010

Hi,

when there's no image in the folder, I get the cube with the KDE logo.
When I move one or more images to the folder, I get a white cube. - Feb 16 2010

Hi,

in KDE 4.4 I get just a whoite cube, when I copy any images (I tested with jpgs) to the hidden folder. - Feb 16 2010

Does anyone else have this weird behaviour of the context menu:

http://www.cyrilbrosch.net/plasmocon_menu.png

It doesn't pop up over the plasmoid, but up to the left. In the picture I'm clicking in the plasmoid where the curser is. When I click in the lower right corner, the pop-up menu appears appr. in the mid of the screen.

The menu is fully functional, however, only the position isn't right. - Feb 15 2010

Hi, what's the difference between your plasmoid and the public transport plasmoid (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/PublicTransport?content=106175)?

Sorry if I don't see an obvious difference... - Dec 30 2009

Hi,

you should add KPrayerTime to the "plasmoids" section on kde-look.org, because here no one will probably look for plasmoids. - Dec 20 2009

Merci beaucoup!

I could already solve the language problem by manipulating the url to http://mobile.wikipedia.org/index.php?lang=de in the applet source, however.

Both plasmoids are nice, keep up your good work. :-) - Sep 19 2009

And this problem shows up in the WikiViewer plasmoid, too, so I'll file a bug report to b.k.o. - Sep 04 2009

Hey, that works, thank you very much!

There are, however, two glitches left:

-when I set up the language, the drop-down menu does not show up in the plasmoid, but somewhere else on the left side of the desktop (but it works, so this is no problem)

-after login my language settings aren't stored, but the plasmoid is reset to English

(a third, very nasty problem seems to be fault of KDE or Suse, because I have it in the Plasmocon plasmoid, too: I can't type a simple 'o'! I'll file a bug report to b.k.o.)

Thanks again for your efforts! - Sep 04 2009

Hello, thanks for that nice plasmoid!

There is, however, a problem: When there is no network connection at startup (my w-lan takes some seconds to establish), the plasmoid remains just empty, clicking on "reload" doesn't do anything.

I have to remove and re-add it to the desktop, which is quite uncomfortable. - Aug 15 2009

Little update: I can type 'o' in Plasmocon, when it is shown via the plasmoidviewer (BTW: Konsole shows me "Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)[?1034h
").
But still no tiny little 'o' on the desktop. :-( - Aug 14 2009

Weird, I can't see your response to my comment, although I reloaded the page...

Anyhow, the name fields seem to be fine, I can give you an example file:

[Desktop Entry]
X-SuSE-translate=true
X-KDE-Solid-Predicate=[ StorageVolume.ignored == false AND OpticalDisc.availableContent == 'Audio' ]
Type=Service
Actions=ripaudiocd;

[Desktop Action ripaudiocd]
Exec=audex
Icon=audex
Name=Extract Digital Audio with Audex
Name[de]=Digital-Audio mit Audex auslesen

#/usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/actions/audex-rip-audiocd.desktop

Is everything OK with the path? - Aug 14 2009

Hi and thanks for that very nice plasmoid!

I have, however, a little problem: Some of the device actions (predefined, I didn't change anything) don't show up in the pop-up properly. There is just a ?-symbol and no text - nevertheless the actions do work (you just don't know what you're clicking on).

What works:
-open with Dolphin
-download photos with Digikam

What doesn't show up:
-rip CD with Audex
-rip CD with K3B
-play CD with Kaffeine

(Others not tested)

The actions are shown properly in the standard device manager's pop-up. - Aug 14 2009

I checked it on two systems: One 64-bit with Kernel 2.6.27.25, one 32-bit with 2.6.29, both with opensuse 11.1, KDE 4.3 RC3. Of course Konsole in Dolphin etc. works flawlessly.
This is the strangest bug I've ever seen. - Jul 31 2009

It's weird, I still can't type a simple 'o' (KDE 4.3 RC3). - Jul 31 2009

Yeah, thanks, after a reinstall I had forgotten the python-devel package.

Now it works, anyhow, I have a very silly problem: I can't type an 'o' (yes, the vowel, all other letters work) in the plasmoid! :-? - Jul 15 2009

Hi, when I launch the plasmoid via the plasmoidviewer for testing, I get an error message.
In the Konsole the following shows up:

File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/pyappletscript.py", line 19, in <module>
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/sip.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct - Jul 08 2009

Oh yes, after updating from Beta2 to the RC I experienced too, that Stasks is not working any more.
Thanks for pointing out the problem to the author, I hope it'll be fixed soon.

BTW: The webbrowser plasmoid got buggy, too, it shows all the webpages unreadably small. - Jul 01 2009
