Just to notify the world of a new and awesome and … data engine for
Plasma. The name should not be spoken out loud, so I will write it down
- the name is FileBrowser engine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Y2JmguJO8
If you do not want to watch the screencast, the engine returns the
list of files and subdirectories if a client requests a directory, and
meta data about files if the file is requested. The information returned
is dynamic so if a file/dir changes (or is deleted), the client is
notified.
Expect it in the SVN soon. Edit: It has been
committed to the SVN.
Later, I will integrate the Nepomuk into the engine.
Edit: The main purpose (the purpose I started making
it) is to use the engine to provide the data for the KMenu replacement /
any type of application launcher actually…
Well, most of the participants of this year’s aKademy left Glasgow
way to early, and have missed to see the city go live on Saturday. Since
I had no company, I decided to drift alone - the thing I love to do here
in Belgrade.
First of all, it was sunny (wonders happen) and the streets were
filled with non-drunk but happy people (again, wonders happen). Every
street had it’s own musician or stunt performer so you could choose
between blues, rock, folk music, acrobats and more. Or you could join
the religious corrtege or the demonstrations against terrorism an the
George Square.
A few days ago near the hostel I was intercepted by a girl that works
for some against-cancer organization and we talked for a while, and
lucky me, we met once again so we chatted a bit more and exchanged some
memories.
The next thing on my todo list was to say goodbye to the girl that
worked in the shop we used to buy sandwiches in. It seamed like we know
each other for ages and both of us were sad that I need to go home.
And finally, when I didn’t know where else to go, I went to the
library and sat in front of it on the concrete block like a hobo. People
passed and smiled to me (not at me) and nodded while passing… I felt
almost like I was a part of the city… I enjoyed.
Iako sam planirao da se javljam malo cesce sa KDE aKademije 2007,
bilo je problema i sa netom, i sa vremenom, tako da do sada nisam stigao
da napisem bilo sta. A i dalje postoje problemi sa Bloggerom - nemoguce
je ulogovati se na isti sa racunara na kojima radimo, ali uspeo sam i to
da “zaobidjem” danas (do sada sam zaobilazio mnoge stvari vezane za
Kubuntu sisteme koje su instalisali ovde).
Pre svega, samo da kazem da je do sada bilo dosta veselo. Imao sam
prilike (koju sam i iskoristio) da se raspravljam sa “svemircem” to jest
Markom Shuttleworthom u vezi nekeih stvari koje je spomenuo u svojoj
govoranjciji o cemu cete moci da citate u GNUzilli kad se vratim u BG iz
GB…
Imali smo i organizovano kisnjenje pored jezera Lomond uz miomirise
koji su dolazili sa plinskih rostilja koje smo poneli. Mislim da je ovo
prvi put da sam video vegetarijanske kobasice na rostilju. Naravno,
nisam ih probao.
Od Mandrive smo dobili 2GB usb flasheve, od ostalih neke cd-ove,
solje i slicno. Dobili smo i po primerak Linux Magazina (aktuelno
izdanje) za koji mislim da ipak ne moze da se meri sa Linux Format
Magazinom. (GNUzilla, naravno van ikakve konkurencije) Pozdrav za sada…
mada, interesuje me kako cete naleteti na ovo sta pisem, sad kad planet
FSN ne radi…
Well, for the last few days I didn’t have a chance to connect to
blogger (like the most of the people here at aKademy who do not have
their laptops with them).
So this is the attempt to override the blogger problems with the help
of the Flock web browser.
So, here you are, a few updates about stuff finished at the hacking
sessions here in Glasgow:
Kamion now follows some Accessibility stuff concerning colors and
styles thanks to Olaf’s presentation. It will need some love, but the
main idea is implemented.
The second is that I’ve made my first Plasma engine for monitoring
the items in the filesystem. For example if you give it a directory, it
will return the contents of it; if you give it a file it will return the
basic meta info about the file. If you give it a non-existant path, the
engine will return empty data. When anything changes - file is changed,
deleted, directory is deleted or created, everything is updated
automatically. So the node that was non-existant (empty) will show the
appropriate data about a file or directory the moment it is created.
Još samo tri dana i krećem za Glazgov. Za neupućene, od 30. 6. do 8.
7. se tamo održava KDE aKademy 2007 - skup programera i uopšte zajednice
okupljene oko projekta KDE. Očekujte povremene izveštaje ovde, a biće
nečega i za GNUzillu, nadam se.
