Hi there,
I have five patches to kcontrol that I will be posting to this email
list. I have had to split the work I did into separate patches for each
feature. The original discussion of these features took place in
kde-look but I was asked to post the patches to this list for further
discussion.
Patch #1
------
I have removed the Help tab. Help is still available through each
module's help button. This brings up a dialog box with the help
information.
Patch #2
------
I have removed the Search tab and replaced it with a Search button. The
search button then brings up a dialog box. Unfortunately, the process of
splitting out the patches has slightly broken this feature in that the
search list isn't populated. It worked before and I can't figure out why
it doesn't now. Perhaps someone could take a look at it and figure out
why.
Patch #3
------
I removed the Modules menu as this menu was found to be redundant during
our usability studies. The same list appears in the index tree view.
Patch #4
------
I removed the View menu thereby removing the Icon view mode. The icon
view mode was found to be unintuitive.
Patch #5
------
Display a list of the modules under a category when a category is
selected. This uses a modified AboutWidget that lists the Category and
sub-modules when a category is selected. If a category is selected after
changes were made to a module, the standard message box pops up to let
the user accept or forget their changes. There is one minor bug with
this that I haven't been able to figure out which has to do with
resizing the AboutWidget when a category is selected. If a category is
selected after a module, then the resizing is correct. If a category is
selected on startup or after another category, there is a resizing
problem. However, resizing kcontrol as a whole by dragging an edge
causes a proper resize.
Thanks,
Carlo.
Corel.
