kde

Back at home atlast, after long exams. Yippee !!

Gotta work to done, especially on Plasmate. Diego and Yuen have done excellent work and its time to join them to make Plasmate rock.

As pointed out on BUG: 187241 , Folder View applet didn't support navigation using the Keyboard keys, and launching using Enter/Return. This greatly reduced the usability of the applet as a replacement for the normal Desktop.

I never thought I'd be having so much fun with KDE and FOSS Software as a whole. Its such a good way to learn things and contribute to something which is really beautiful.
In January, I was studying Qt because I found it very interesting, and its cross platform nature really made me to plan serious development.
Then I started to use KDE, which has a very intuitive interface for users. But here comes the real benefit - KDE is a Free Software, so anyone can contribute to the system and improve on it.

As reported in BUG: 186283 , the Filter page in the configuration of the Folder View applet behaved differently from user expectation. Some of the files were shown/not being shown when the opposite was expected. This was due to a peculiarity in the design methodology employed.

This SVN Revision does two things -

Previously, the System Monitor Network Applet didn't label the graphs for the network interfaces, making it difficult to know which graph belongs to which interface. This patch fixed the problem.

Here are the screenshots -

As per the feature request BUG: 183673 , the Timer applet will now include an option to set and display a Caption to each Timer. Using this. the user can have different Timers for different things. This takes effect after this SVN Revision.
