Contributing to Qt 5 for KF 5.1 epic

Quite some effort goes into Qt 5 in order to push into Qt some of the features which should be in Qt and not in KDE Frameworks. Usually because all Qt apps would benefit from them even outside the KDE world, and because this cuts dependencies between the KDE frameworks.

Status	Description	Contact
TO DO	QSqueezedTextLabel, or squeezing in QLabel	null	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	QFileSystemWatcher: support for watching non-existing files. Reviving an old Qt patch for this might work: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,19274	David Faure, Mark Gaiser	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	QCompleter: many missing features compared to KCompletion. Look at the completion model in http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5-Ui-Helpers as a possible replacement which would also work for QML.	?	<{{{3}}}>
IN PROGRESS	QLocalSocket/QLocalServer: support for abstract unix sockets. See https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,73977 for the work in progress	Rich Moore
TO DO	KProcess::setShellCommand (see also KShell) features in Qt. Ossi says: look at importing QtcProcess from QtCreator to replace QProcess	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	KProcess ForwardOnlyStdErr/ForwardOnlyStdOut features in Qt (Ossi has 7 years old unfinished patches, someone needs to take over that)	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	QCursor: auto-hide support (see KCursor API), plus styleHint to enable this in QLineEdit/QTextEdit (and let users turn this on/off in KConfig)	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	QCursor: theme support	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	QSystemTray: support for the new dbus protocol (see KStatusNotifierItem)	?	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	recursive filtering in QSortFilterProxyModel	Filipe Azevedo
TO DO	QPoTranslator (support for .po files, and locating them with QStandardPaths, so that libs can load them?)	??	<{{{3}}}>
IN PROGRESS	QTimeZone	John Layt
DONE	qDebug with categories (qCDebug)	Kai Koehne
TO DO	QLocale	John Layt	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Printing	John Layt	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Merge KStandardShortcut and QKeySequence::StandardKey	??	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	Make sure we have a QAction independent of QtWidgets in QtGui	Qt6
TO DO	Support for timer-based auto-selection in QAbstractItemView (triggered by styleHint, like QStyle::SH_ItemView_ActivateItemOnSingleClick triggers single-click mode)	??	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Make sure QTextBrowser automatically follows KDE settings for the wheel button behavior (scroll vs zoom) via backend	??	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	KSsl/QSsl merge	Richard Moore	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Make it possible to create plugins for handling url's for QDesktopServices::openUrl	?	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	Methods for associating mimetypes with imageformats in QImageReader/Writer (replacing last bits of KImageIO)	Allan Sandfeld Jensen
TO DO	Add plugin version to QPluginLoader (see KPluginLoader::version())		<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	QPluginLoader::findPlugin(), like KPluginLoader::findPlugin()		<{{{3}}}>
