[opensuse-kde] Firefox + KDE integration: Getting FF to use Dolphin reliably. 12+ years and counting.

Hi, [ I've cc'd this to multiple lists to garner interest; ultimately, I believe the solution needs to be in/at Firefox. I'd suggest that any discussion continues @ <firefox-dev(a)mozilla.org> (https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/firefox-dev) ] There are LOTS of users that use Firefox on Linux in a KDE environment. For those that do, integration with KDE's Dolphin filemanager -- e.g., for "Open containing folder ..." after download -- is needed. It's been reported as a bug in Firefox 12+ years ago & has spawned multiple other bugs. There's a fix/workaround in Opensuse (pkg: mozilla-kde4-integration; https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=openSUSE%3AFactory&package=…) although it's not been accepted in current state @Firefox for upstream inclusion. Afaict, discussion & activity are basically dead. Atm, is still doesn't work natively in Firefox. Hacking around it DOES seem to work -- both in Opensuse packaging (though, in #ic today, another soul failed at getting THAT to work), and (for me, at least) building kmozillahelper natively for upstream's Firefox31. Multiple distros have, at various times, released pkg'd versions of Opensuse's patches -- with varyiung, intermittent success. Chrome & Chromium both seem to have worked Firefox+KDE integration out -- both integrate with KDE nicely, apparently using (?) xdg-utils. My end-user goal *here* is to get a fix into upstream Firefox, and have that picked up by the distros. To start, I hope this rekindles recognition of the need for a fix, gets the right DEVs talking to one another, and gets those who can help, to help. It's been 12+ years -- clearly something's not working, and needs grease. A couple of the initial/earliest bugs that provide some issue history: are Bug 140751 — NEW — Integrate Mozilla with KDE https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140751 Bug 528598 — NEW, mozilla — provide a class to check for KDE environment and to interface with kmozillahelper https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528598 Bug 528510 — NEW — [Tracking] Port OpenSUSE KDE Integration for Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528510#c5 ; I'd bet there are more. I hope we can move this ball forward! Grant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, Just when we[1] finally got around to updating Tumbleweed to the latest KDE packages, it looks like the whole repo is broken with tons of "conflicts". Any idea what happened? Any guess as to when it will be fixed? thanks, greg k-h [1] Well, Jiri, not me, he did all the real work here, I just ran the script he updated :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Two androbit themes
by Cor Blom_3 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Hi, In search for a plasma theme I saw that we have androbit as a separate package in Extra, but androbit is also part of kdeartwork4-desktoptheme. Shoudn't these packages conflict? At the moment I can install them both. Regards, Cor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
