Kexi/TODOs/Archive

From KDE Community Wiki

See Also: KOffice 2.3 Feature Plan.

Introduction

In order to deliver the stable features, we mark them for release conservatively. For example, some reasonable TODOs has been changed to wishes. This is somewhat compatible with the Worse is Better idea.

General

Status Description Assigned To
DONE Use KPluginInfo for any kind of plugins, what would allow for creating main window (esp. the project navigator) without loading any plugins in advance jstaniek [2.6]
IN PROGRESS Re-add all the missing actions to the toolbars; look at the .rc files of Kexi 1.x for reference. jstaniek [2.5]
TO DO Refresh icons:
  • copy view-form as form
  • copy view-form-table as table
  • create query icon from view-form-table
  • reports from view-pim-journal
  • use view-multiple-objects
  • use emblem-new instead of "*" everywhere
  • replace * in object_new with emblem-new
  • use the thunder from view-form-action for 'assign action' and display it in designer over buttons and in the widget tree
  • refresh script icon (and maybe add name "js", "py"" to the script icon)
  • show data-source-pkey-tag icon for widgets with pkey field assigned
jstaniek [2.5] <{{{3}}}>
WISH Set the script language database-wide, and use a single Kross::Action to retain state between scripts piggz
WISH Add translation module for any user-visible text in database. Perform research on reusing core parts of Lokalize or Qt Linguist. Refactoring Lokalize may be needed (better) or just forking some code (worse). Contact the Lokalize team to be sure. GNU gettext .po files format is preffered. Storage: database as everything in Kexi. Strict integration means there should be no external programs executed in the foreground and the workflow should resemble other workflows in Kexi, so the translating interface would be displayed within a tab.
EXTRA: think about extending this feature to other Calligra apps
?? [3.0]


Main Window

Status Description Assigned To
DONE Create lightweight nonmodal web-like startup screen jstaniek [2.4]

WISH Fix or reimplement spin box widgets: look bad with oxygen and probably other styles jstaniek
WISH Create QRectF property piggz
WISH Add multiselection combo, i.e. for QFlags, e.g. [1]
QListWidget has a Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable flaf for items that adds a check box. For more advanced use cases kdeui offers a mini-framework called Goya that makes it easier to insert widgets into model views than plain Qt use. Optionally use subproperties, like it is done with x, y for QPoint type.
