KDE/Ideas/11.2

From openSUSE

Basics

• DONE Qt 4.5, Qt Creator 1.2 package (qt-creator in Factory & KDE:Qt)
• DONE KDE 4.3 (Release Schedule, Fate)
• DONE KOffice 2.0 (Release Schedule), no 2.1
• DONE Amarok 2.1 & new dependencies, no 2.2

• DONE Switch to Amarok2
• DONE Switch to Digikam/KDE4, no 1.0
• DONE Switch to KNetworkManager/KDE4
• WIP Make NetworkManager-kde4 work well (Bille)
• WIP Care for translations of patches etc. (llunak)

• File search: Beagle or Strigi (Change the default backend for strigi?) (?)
• Make it very easy and automatic for the user to send useful crash reports. For example, at the first crash of an application, try to install the -debug package from the repository. Then, at the next crash, generate the report and just ask the user "Send" "Don't send". Nothing more, the user should not be expected to perform a more complicated procedure. Packages in the UNSTABLE repositories should include -debug packages by default. This was WIP for 11.1, but was not completed for final release.
• Include KMPlayer. KMPlayer supports using Phonon instead of MPlayer, doesn't this make it possible to include it in the distro? ..and thus greatly improve multimedia capabilities, especially of Konqueror. (kmplayer in KDE:KDE4:Community) (?)
• Ipod ready application with distro... or which ever mp3 player (?)
• DONE Oxygen icons for application menu categories (Bug #439015)

Branding

• Revise greeter text, write new KDE4 introduction (Bille)
• WIP Discuss branding with upstream (Fate, Bille)
• DONE fix Geeko to appear in active window title again
• FINE IN KDE 4.3 fix branding button to appear in Kickoff start menu again
• DONE Special development splash screen text with pointers to Bugzilla, openFATE, ...

• Trash icon/plasmoid in default install (?) - decided against
• KHotkeys/input-actions pre-configured for multimedia-buttons (start media, start mail etc.) (Bug #524734)
• If possible, make qt4 use oxygen theme for the root user on KDE systems

• DONE Install/run kde4-printer-applet by default on DVD (Bug #524989)
• DONE Find/create better menu category for Marble
• DONE Don't start Nepomuk and Strigi on Live-CD
