Hi

Is this not available for kde 3.5 series?

Many thanks

Dave - Feb 04 2008
Hi

I'm using this on kde 3.5.8.
When I autostart the Sidebar, all the individual widgets start up first but the Sidebar itself doesn't start. I'm using the latest compiz-fusion also.
Any help would be much appreciated.

All the best

Kuickplay

Audio Apps by trisz 14 comments

Hi

I think I've answered my own question. In the file kuickplay.py on Line 234 it reads 'self.playListQDir = QDir(self.playdirname, "*.mp3 *.wav *.ogg *.flac"'

I'm just going to add a couple of other audio file extensions to it (like *.wma, *.m4a) and it now works.

I was thinking of just putting a "*" in but I guess it would read all none audio tracks and put them in the playlist too.

Cheers

Kuickplay

Audio Apps by trisz 14 comments

Hi

I really like this little app :)
The only problem I'm getting is in the mp3-player skin. Only mp3 files will show in the playlist. Any other files, such as wma, m4a etc... don't show up in the playlist.

Looking forward to new skins too. Maybe an option to change the skins whilst listening to the music would be good.

Great work and all the best.

Sorry for being impatient. Is it specified anywhere that it will update every 6 mins ?

Hmail

Karamba & Superkaramba by sailorz 8 comments

Hi

I also noticed that the widget doesn't display all the columns correctly if a hotmail folder has "spaces" in it's name.

To fix this I just renamed my hotmail folders and changed the "spaces" for underscores _

Hmail

Karamba & Superkaramba by sailorz 8 comments

Hi

Nice little theme :)

I noticed that when you've read an email the widget was never being updated so I had to add the command "interval=60000" into the hmail.theme file.

It now reads:
program="/home/user/hmail/scripts/gethotmail" fontsize=11 interval=60000

Can you let me know whether I was supposed to do this or not.

Many thanks

ClockMagick

Karamba & Superkaramba by vnwhite 58 comments

Hi

Thanks. I know that. It just works a bit easier in ARK and Konqueror that's all.
I tried to open the .skz file in ark (instructing it that it was a zip file) but it wouldn't open. However, it would if I changed the extension to .zip first. Strange;)

Thanks anyway :)

All the best

ClockMagick

Karamba & Superkaramba by vnwhite 58 comments

I worked out a fix. At least, it fixes it on mine. Here we go...

1) Open up the superkaramba window and make sure any instances of 'clock magick' are uninstalled.
2) rename the downloaded file from 50846-clock_magick.skz to 50846-clock_magick.zip
3) Unzip the downloaded file to a folder.
4) Copy all of png files (images) to the "/home/YOURNAME/.superkaramba/clock_magick " folder.
5) restart clock magick. This can be done by starting the original (.skz) file or by going into the unzipped folder and starting 'clock_magick.theme'

Hope this works for you.

All the best

Karamba & Superkaramba by sbruno 8 comments

Hi

I think I may learn python as it's been a while since I programmed anything and that was programming for windows. I looked at the Aero AIO stuff and it doesn't look to hard to port it into. Actually the torrent AIO is a good exmaple. Found here http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ktorrent+Aero+AIO?content=60355

I've just taken your code and added a mute button to the program and changed the icons. Do you want me to email it back to you?

Cheers

Dave

Karamba & Superkaramba by sbruno 8 comments

I've been looking for an app like this for ages and my python skills aren't good enough to produce one. Great app. I look forward to see what direction it takes:)

Any ideas of any PyQT or PyKDE programming for customizable settings like adding stations, skins, fonts etc...

I wander whether it could be integrated with Aero AIOhttp://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Aero+AIO?content=24626
as it already has a customizable interface.

Great work and all the best

Host on Imageshack

Dolphin Service Menus by Blavkaste 20 comments

Hi

This is what I've been looking for but it would be better if it would give you the link for the thumbnail also. For example, an image that I just uploaded via the imageshack website gave me 3 urls.

1)<a href="http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=save3zn1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/3532/save3zn1.th.png" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a>
2)[URL=http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=save3zn1.png]
[IMG]http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/3532/save3zn1.th.png[/IMG][/URL]
3)url=http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=save3zn1.png]
[img=http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/3532/save3zn1.th.png][/url]

These are useful because I can just copy them and paste them into a forum.

Any chance this could be included into your script?

All the best

ICOnvert service menu

Dolphin Service Menus by dirge 9 comments

Hi

Just wandering whether you can put another entry that converts a png to a windows ico file. I'm achieving this at the moment using a small app called png2ico but it would be better integrated into your service menu. I don't have much experience in Imagemagick's convert function though.

Cheers

K-EncFS

Security by trisz 41 comments

Hi

I'm successfully using k-encfs version 2 on SabayonLinux and everything is running ok. I was just wandering if you could as an option to the "Delete" button to ask "Are you sure?"

I know I shouldn't press the delete button but I thought I would for a test and it just deletes everything without asking you.

I did have everything backed up before I done this test ;)

Just thing it would be a cool option to add just in case some one pressed it by mistake.

Karamba & Superkaramba by marcusfurius 47 comments

Hi

I'm not sure if it's possible in SuperKaramba but if it is then a scrollbar (on the right hand side) would be good for feeds with more than 7 items. We could then scroll up and down to see more than 7 feeds in the window.

Just a thought. Great app :)

Furius Rss (RssNews)

Karamba & Superkaramba by marcusfurius 47 comments

Hi

Great program. I can't wait until you add functionality to configure the feeds.

Just a quick note. On this latest release, in the bbcNew.py file you need to add a space in the following line:
browser = "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing"
after the webbrowsing bit else it doesn't bring up konqueror when you select a news item. like so:
browser = "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing "

Hi

I've install version 0.5.7 and it detects my WPA2 network as WEP. Why would it be doing this?

btw: I've never had any luck using wpa_supplicant to connect to my WPA2-PSK network. I've always had to use the iwpriv command. It seems to be more reliable.

Security by trisz 41 comments

Hi

I kind of worked. I've created the encrypted folder but when I enter the password to mount it I get this error message:
"fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /home/dave/.kde3.5/share/apps/kencfs/encrypted: Permission denied
fuse failed. Common problems:
- fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse)
- invalid options -- see usage message"

btw: SabayonLinux (Based on Gentoo) uses the portage package system. It compiles everything from source files and rarely uses binary packages.

Cheers

K-EncFS

Security by trisz 41 comments

Great program. I had it running in 32-bit mepis.
However, I usually use 64-bit sabayonlinux and fuse is built in to the kernel and not as a separate module. Every time I try to start the app it says that it can't load the fuse module. If I run "encfs" on its own it doesn't come up with this error message.

I don't know if you can help me and I really want to use this program and spread it around to all my friends.

btw: I've tried to compile fuse as a kernel module but each time I try to add it using modprobe it gives an error of "device or resource busy".

I hope you can help.

Cheers

I really like this theme. However, If I log out of kde and log back in again (without restarting my computer), the them fails to load. It thinks there is already an instance running (which there isn't).

If I do a complete reboot then it's fine again.

Any help would be appreciated.
