Why is addContactsToPerson async but removeContactsFromPerson syncronous?


The code says: "//FIXME: for some reason we get most of the contacts
I /think/ if you call removeContactsFromPerson that contact is now not
twice in the resultset,"
in the model, not inserted as a contact anywhere.
What's happening is we run a query "SELECT Distinct ?contactURI
 
?emailAddressForThisContact"
==Testing==
If we have a contact with 2 email addresses, we get the same contact
 
URI twice once for each new email address. (email addresses are just
See git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/mklapetek/PersonViewer for a generic "new addressbook"
one example, it applies to all things fetched)
KTp has kpeople support merged as an optional dependency
Current code as far as I can tell, will ignore/hide the second email address.
If we're going to do that, we can just simplify the query and make it
faster too..or we should try and fix it properly


Why is there duplicate detection stuff in the middle of this?
It wraps DuplicatesFinder and turns the result URIs into indexes.
but why? All the core methods work on URIs anyway, so this just ends
up with us having an option to go to indexes and back for no reason at
all.


Why is query() a slot invoked through QMetaObject?
I assume there's a clever sensible reason, I don't know what it is, so
it needs documenting please

model. Can/Should these be moved elsewhere? Is there a case for
calling it without the model?

About

LibKPeople is a contact aggregation library for KDE.

It is *not* a KTp specific library, we are simply the first adopters as well as the developers so the wiki page is here for the time being. This page is about the libkpeople changes needed to make a release of KTp with libkpeople support.

Big discussions about libkpeople should CC the pim mailing list.

Setting up

Install libkpeople (https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/network/kpeople)

Reinstall KTp, and you have metacontacts everywhere.

You may also want to install PersonViewer a tool to view all contact information from all sources (http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=person-viewer.git)

Status Summary Notes Claimed By
DONE Move KTp plugins to k-ci-i
DONE Add method to KTp::ContactsModel runtime switch from libkpeople or not.
TODO Add PersonData method to KTp::Contact
TODO KTp Contact has helper methods to get name + avatar for person
TODO KTp ContactFactory can get personData as a feature on load, otherwise use Tp stuff.
TODO Fix the singleton AccountManager problem I don't know how many times I've shouted at people about the problem with using AM as a singleton.. and now we've done it in libkpeople. Brilliant.

Public API Review

Below are a list of issues, please resolve (either by fixing or discussing) then remove from this list

The list of public classes are:

  • PersonsModel
  • PersonsModelFeature
  • AbstractPersonsPlugin
  • BasePersonsDataSource
  • DuplicatesFinder
  • Match
  • MatchesSolver
  • PersonActionsModel
  • PersonsPluginManager
  • PersonData

Anything else in the main lib is private and thus I don't care.

PersonsModel

Why is addContactsToPerson async but removeContactsFromPerson syncronous?

I /think/ if you call removeContactsFromPerson that contact is now not in the model, not inserted as a contact anywhere.

Testing

See git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/mklapetek/PersonViewer for a generic "new addressbook" KTp has kpeople support merged as an optional dependency



git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/vhanda/delete-pimo-people.git is a useful too for wiping all PIMO:Persons useful for testing merging repeatedly.
