Hello everyone,
I=92m a student working on GSOC project kdeconnect right now. I=92m not =
familiar with kde development so I=92m coming here to seek for help and =
advice.
The main idea is to use libimobiledevices and integrate its existent =
tools into kdeconnect (used for managing iOS devices). This project will =
please kde & iOS users. I=92ll make an exhaustive list of features that =
I would love to implement later. In fact, these tools already exist and =
they are well done, but only available in cmd. I would like to integrate =
them into our workplace and create a friendly UI for users.
=97=97=97=97
Here is the exhaustive list:
1.Use the idevicebackup tool for full and incremental native backups and =
restoring from them
2.Use idevicesyslog tool to view the syslog in realtime.
3.Use the idevicecrashreport tool to retrieve crash logs from a device.
4. Use the ideviceprovision tool to manage provisioning profiles of a =
device.
5.Use ideviceinstaller to list, install, uninstall and archive your own =
apps or to install carrier profiles.
6.Use idevicerestore and libirecovery to update and restore devices.
7.Use sbmanager to arrange icons on the device using drag and drop. iPad =
support is WIP.
Among these tools, ideviceinstaller, idevicerestore and sbmanager are =
tools based on libimobildevces. The others are tools along with =
libimobiledevice.
In order to start implementation, I=92ve got several basic questions:
1. Is it acceptable that we use the cmd tools directly? Or am I obliged =
to write an installer/ restorer using the apis of lib by myself ? For I =
think it might not be worth rewriting an installer/restorer, theses =
apps do not have dev libs and I wouldn't be able to create a better or =
lighter for my uses in short time. But for such an application, I =
haven't got much experience on which would be healthier for an open =
source project.
2. What is a more properer way to call a cmd tool? I only know that =
QProcess can run cmd. Is it better to write a bash script to deal with =
the cmd and its out put or we deal with the output in qt program?
3.Is it better to integrate the panel into the panel of kdeconnect or =
maybe we create another one? current version of kdeconnect is mainly a =
tool connect our device with our workplace, cooperate, communicate with =
each other and control each other . But this panel would be more likely =
to be an =93iTunes for linux=94. For me, maybe it=92s better to build it =
as an independent program.
=97=97=97=97
Besides, for the kdeconnect plugins I'm developping, I would also like =
to know :
1.How to create/modify/delete alarm,event,calendar, note from korgnizer
2.How to create/modify/delete contacts from kontact
=97=97=97=97
I=92m quite new to the dev on kde and it=92s my first time working on an =
open source project with a big community. Any hint or lien of document =
or library would be greatly helpful.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
