- Fix leak and crash when job goes away before being shown
- Some emit and signal fixes
- Always create services watchers
- Update unity job percentage in destructor, fixes the progress lingering around when disabling in settings
Also tell the world that we're merely proxying a job progress
- Don't hardcode KIO error codes
- Honor "show critical on top of full screen" setting
- Don't show generic "dialog-information" icon, it's pointlessly generic
It is supposed to broadcast application job progress to multiple interested parties.
However, effectively it was just plasmashell. Cut the middleman, including its never finished and unused UI,
and talk to plasmashell directly.
The applicationjobs dataengine is adjusted to use the new infrastructure instead.
Since it works only in the same process now, Unity launcher API is used to at least broadcast basic
application progress information for use in e.g. Latte Dock.
Also, introduce JobViewServerV2 and JobViewV3 APIs which are using desktop entries for identification rather
than application names, and more importantly are extensible using a QVariantMap hints, so adding new
fields in the future should be significantly less painful with Frameworks, Applications, and Plasma all having
their own release schedule. :)
- Introduces a Settings item that can be used to query and write settings
Used from both the applet and the KCM and in the future Task Manager and others
- Wire up delegate to make FullRepresentation somewhat work
- Fix text selection in NotificationItem (workaround QQC1 ScrollView bug)
- Make model writable where it makes sense (rather than having a dedicated setter)
- Let JobsModel also notice jobs that were present at the time of its creation
- Notification action buttons
- Custom icon pixmaps in notifications
- Popup handling
- Notification urgency (low isn't shown as popup TBD, critical always no matter what)
- History stuff (only expired notifications end up there, none that were closed or revoked)
- Text selection and copy for body text
- Basic tray icon support
and many other things
Application jobs are shown as part of regular notifications:
- They show up as little popup that can be hidden in the history
- When finished progress popup turns into a notification
There's still some glitches and missing features, notably
- Screenshot thumbnails
- "Open" functionality for finished jobs
- History layout
- code cleanup
- and basically every configuration option
libnotificationmanager provides a proper notification model situation similar
to libtaskmanager. There is also a new notification applet implementing the
suggestions and VDG mockups in the wiki
NOTE: the notification dataengine is defunct in this branch, so while the applet
(for now) installs as "new notifications", the old applet will stop working when
you use this. The dataengine will eventually be restored (famous last words)
for compatibility but using the NotificationServer singleton introduced in
libnotificationmanager.
The applet can show notifications, they expire, can be closed, and their
default action invoked. Still heavily WIP and API subject to change.
