[openFATE 306175] More powerful Build Service search

17 Dec '10

Feature added by: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) Feature #306175, revision 1, last change by Title: More powerful Build Service search Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) Description: Sometimes you only want to search the 'official' projects, not everyone's scratch projects. An 'exclude home: projects' toggle in osc and the web frontend would be a good start This could be implemented as a specialisation of an --exclude-projects-matching <regexp> - and then you need a --search-only-matching <regexp> option for symmetry. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306175

[New: openFATE 310697] Deliver kde with pulseaudio

Feature added by: H. Hansen (cyberbeat) Feature #310697, revision 1 Title: Deliver kde with pulseaudio openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: H. Hansen (cyberbeat) Description: I use kde4 with pulseaudio since opensuse-11.2 and once setup, it really works much nicer than the suse-default alsa-setup. There is already support in kmix for volume and moving streams (still missing some functionality from pavu-control, someone should continue the work on kmix..). Also phonon systemsettings supports pulse audio, and soundcard priorities can be defined there for different application categories (for the few applications using phonon..) It is nice - to move streams from any(!) application (using alsa-pulse-plugin) to the soundcard you want, these settings are remembered - to fallback to onboard device, when usb-"default"-device is disconnected - to be able to easily define the "main"-output of any soundcard as input-stream for any application, for example recording something you are playing digitally into audacity - easy to setup system-wide audio-plugins such as pulseaudio-ladspa, for example to cut off bass-frequencies for all applications I really have no serious problems with pulseaudio, it is really matured now. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310697

[New: openFATE 310714] Bring TabCandy-like functionality to desktops

Feature added by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Feature #310714, revision 1 Title: Bring TabCandy-like functionality to desktops openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Description: I don't know if anyone here has used TabCandy (now called Panorama - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVdlSXiX1c4 ) by Firefox but I think the concept would be PERFECT for desktops, sort of a better way of doing Desktop Activities. Some of the great things about it: 1. You can group application windows just by dragging them (their thumbnails) together 2. You can name groups 3. When you go to an application of a group, only those apps would appear in your taskbar/on your desktop - All others would be accessible via a "TabCandy" icon on the taskbar (which goes to a thumbnail view) 4. You can search through your groups/apps by typing into the search bar I think openSUSE can take this a step further and do it like WebOS' "Just Type." They allow apps to register for an interface such that the search bar can send the search text to them and they can do specific activities without even being opened, or just respond that yes they match that search term. Doing it as a combination of Tab Candy and WebOS' Just Type would make a very powerful, efficient and super easy to use OS/Desktop UI. WebOS' "Just Type": http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2109 Two main aspects to Just Type: 1. Enable users to search within your app. If your data is stored on device, Just Type will present real-time suggestions as the user types. If your data is online, users will type a query and then tap to launch your app, where you'll present the results. 2. Define your own Quick Actions. Make it easier than ever for your users to update social status, set reminders, add items to a shopping list—or do whatever it takes to get things done in the context of your app. Both of these can be adapted to work with applications in openSUSE. And the great thing? The apps don't need to come with those capabilities built in. As long as the app has an API that you can program to, you (or other opensource developers) could write the search/quick-action stuff yourself. In fact, openSUSE could host a repo for people to upload/download their own implementations to power this in almost any app! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310714

[New: openFATE 308500] Replace qtcurve-gtk2 with Oxygen look-alike in KDE setups
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Feature added by: Philipp Massek (pmassek) Feature #308500, revision 1 Title: Replace qtcurve-gtk2 with Oxygen look-alike in KDE setups openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Philipp Massek (pmassek) Description: With the release of openSUSE 11.2, KDE-integration of a few important apps (most notably Firefox) has progressed a great deal, including fitting icon themes and dialogs. The default GTK style is still Curve though, which isn't quite consistent with the Oxygen widget style. This can be easily remedied with the "Oxygen-Molecule" GTK style (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen-Molecule+KDE+&+GTK%2B+unifi…) and it would be nice to see this or something to that effect in future versions of the distribution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308500

[New: openFATE 310339] Improved GIMP KDE integration
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Feature added by: Otso Rajala (daedaluz) Feature #310339, revision 1 Title: Improved GIMP KDE integration openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Otso Rajala (daedaluz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: GIMP needs better integration into KDE, namely its "Open file" dialogue is stuck in GNOME look. Firefox and OpenOffice have their own wrappers, which integrate their corresponding action into KDE. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want this because it helps to create more coherent and unified feel for whole desktop. People doing things often with GIMP would most definitely appreciate the superior KDE image preview provided in its native "Open file" dialogue. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310339

Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This will make it easier to know how long the battery in the laptop has remaining before charging is required. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308395

[New: openFATE 310080] KDE 4.6 for opensuse 11.4
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Feature added by: jimbo bigcreed (Dimble_ThriceFoon) Feature #310080, revision 1 Title: KDE 4.6 for opensuse 11.4 openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: jimbo bigcreed (dimble_thricefoon) Description: I realise we are using a time based release, and no longer chase feature releases, but 11.3 will ship with KDE 4.4 when 4.5 will ship three weeks later. I realise you don't just drop in an entirely new DE version a week before opensuse hits RC, but it would be a crying shame for two releases in a row, eight months apart, both to use an 'old' major release of KDE. For this reason I would be very keen to look at the KDE 4.6 release schedule (should be end of january), and see if we cannot plan to include it in opensuse 11.4 (which in theory is due end of february at the earliest). Were it possible to get 4.6.1 for point release stability that would be even better. Kind regards -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310080
