Applet

QProperties

All Q_PROPERTY and Q_INVOKABLE will be removed from Applet, that is no more directly exposed in QML.

Configuration

We should have a single configuration object binded to qml (either created by autogenerated qml, a model or a property hash)

       KConfigGroup config() const;
       KConfigGroup globalConfig() const;
       ConfigLoader *configScheme() const;

Topic: can this be made flexible enough to replace config read/write? Topic: will need a global version (for globalConfig()) Topic: should we use QML for config, if so: how?

       virtual void save(KConfigGroup &group) const;
       virtual void restore(KConfigGroup &group);
       virtual void configChanged(); -> to signal
       virtual void saveState(KConfigGroup &config) const;
       SIGNAL void configNeedsSaving();
       bool hasConfigurationInterface() const;
       void setHasConfigurationInterface(bool hasInterface);
       void setConfigurationRequired(bool needsConfiguring, const QString &reason = QString());
       bool configurationRequired() const;
       virtual void showConfigurationInterface();

Completely UI-specific, remove or move to scriptengine

Utils

Keep

       Package package() const;
       void updateConstraints(Plasma::Constraints constraints = Plasma::AllConstraints);
       void flushPendingConstraintsEvents();
       virtual void constraintsEvent(Plasma::Constraints constraints);

Remove

       DataEngine *dataEngine(const QString &name) const;
       QPoint popupPosition(const QSize &s) const; -> Dialog in bindings
       QPoint popupPosition(const QSize &s, Qt::AlignmentFlag alignment) const;

Metadata

Add

      KPluginInfo pluginInfo() const;

Keep

       QString name() const;  -> becomes title()
       void setName(const QString &name) const; ->setTitle

To PluginLoader

Most metadata related functions will go into PluginLoader

       static KPluginInfo::List listAppletInfo(const QString &category = QString(),
                                               const QString &parentApp = QString());   -> PluginLoader
       static KPluginInfo::List listAppletInfoForMimeType(const QString &mimetype);
       static KPluginInfo::List listAppletInfoForUrl(const QUrl &url);
       static QStringList listCategories(const QString &parentApp = QString(),
                                         bool visibleOnly = true);

just categories in PluginLoader? : currently stored in AppletPrivate::s_customCategories perhaps every shell should set what its categories are

       void setCustomCategories(const QStringList &categories);
       QStringList customCategories() const;

Merged in PluginLoader::loadApplet: right now pluginloader instantiates only the right Applet*, it should try to load the package as well.

       static Applet *loadPlasmoid(const QString &path, uint appletId = 0,
                                   const QVariantList &args = QVariantList());

       static QString category(const QString &appletName); -> PluginLoader

    	QString icon() const; use case?
      	QString category() const;
      	QString pluginName() const;

Remove

       static QString category(const KPluginInfo &applet); 
       QFont font() const;
       bool shouldConserveResources() const;

Actions

Keep

       virtual QList<QAction*> contextualActions();
       QAction *action(QString name) const
        void addAction(QString name, QAction *action);

Remove

       void setGlobalShortcut(const KShortcut &shortcut);
       KShortcut globalShortcut() const;
       void activate();
       bool hasAuthorization(const QString &constraint) const;

Constructors

       explicit Applet(QObject *parent = 0, const QString &serviceId = QString(), uint appletId = 0);

Merge the following one into above explicit Applet(QObject *parent, const QString &serviceId, uint appletId, const QVariantList &args);

       explicit Applet(const KPluginInfo &info, QObject *parent = 0, uint appletId = 0);
       Applet(QObject *parent, const QVariantList &args);
       virtual void init();

Associated Application

       void setAssociatedApplication(const QString &string);
       void setAssociatedApplicationUrls(const QList<QUrl> &urls);
       QString associatedApplication() const;
       QList<QUrl> associatedApplicationUrls() const;
       bool hasValidAssociatedApplication() const;
       void runAssociatedApplication(); TODO: ensure that setAssociatedApplication handles .desktop files

Other SIGNALS

Remove

       void releaseVisualFocus();

       void appletTransformedByUser();
       void appletTransformedItself();

       void appletDeleted(Plasma::Applet *applet); TODO: fix usage in Containment

Sharing Widgets

Remote widgets will be completetely removed and eventually reimplemented again later from scratch. TODO: a new and improved revisioned remove widgets (or probably just dataengines and services) system

Remove

       void publish(Plasma::AnnouncementMethods methods, const QString &resourceName);
       void unpublish();
       bool isPublished() const;

To script engine

Move the following to the declarative scriptengine:

       void setBackgroundHints(const Plasma::BackgroundHints hint);
       Plasma::BackgroundHints backgroundHints() const;
       bool isBusy() const;
       void setBusy(bool busy);
       virtual void addAssociatedWidget(QWidget *widget);
       virtual void removeAssociatedWidget(QWidget *widget);
       void messageButtonPressed(const Plasma::MessageButton button);
       void showMessage(const QIcon &icon, const QString &message, const Plasma::MessageButtons buttons);
       SIGNAL void backgroundHintsChanged(Plasma::BackgroundHints backgroundHints);

Containment

Constructors

All still needed?

explicit Containment(QObject *parent = 0, const QString &serviceId = QString(), uint containmentId = 0)
Containment(QObject *parent, const QVariantList &args);
private Containment(const QString &packagePath, uint appletId, const QVariantList &args);

Methods

Applet *addApplet(const QString &name, const QVariantList &args = QVariantList(), const QRectF &geometry = QRectF(-1, -1, -1, -1)); Remove Geometry? not possible anymore
void addApplet(Applet *applet, const QPointF &pos = QPointF(-1, -1)); Remove pos? (not possible anymore)
void setScreen(int screen, int desktop = -1); Drop desktop? (that means dropping the per-virtual desktop views feature, it can be "emulated" with activities and would make things dramatically simpler)
int desktop() const;
int lastDesktop() const;
void showContextMenu(const QPointF &containmentPos, const QPoint &screenPos);
virtual void showDropZone(const QPoint pos);
void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event);
void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event);
void wheelEvent(QWheelEvent *event);

In PluginLoader?

static KPluginInfo::List listContainments(const QString &category = QString(), const QString &parentApp = QString());
static KPluginInfo::List listContainmentsOfType(const QString &type, const QString &category = QString(), const QString &parentApp = QString());
static QStringList listContainmentTypes();
static KPluginInfo::List listContainmentsForMimeType(const QString &mimeType);

Signals

void toolBoxToggled();
void toolBoxVisibilityChanged(bool);
void showAddWidgetsInterface(const QPointF &pos); (cannot have a position, maybe not needed at all)

Corona

Methods

Containment *containmentForScreen(int screen, int desktop = -1) const; Remove desktop?
Containment *containmentForScreen(int screen, int desktop, const QString &defaultPluginIfNonExistent, const QVariantList &defaultArgs = QVariantList()); Remove desktop?

Still necassary?

void setAppletMimeType(const QString &mimetype);
QString appletMimeType();
void setDialogManager(AbstractDialogManager *manager); DialogManager was fow main windows of config uis. If all config is going to be qml, this could go (alternative is that we do an AbstractDialogManager that is a declarative view: possible as well).
AbstractDialogManager *dialogManager();
QString preferredToolBoxPlugin(const Containment::Type type) const; Toolboxes, instead of plugin may come from the only corona QML package.

void setPreferredToolBoxPlugin(const Containment::Type type, const QString &plugin);

void setDefaultContainmentPlugin(const QString &name); Default containment plugin also told in the one Corona QML package?
void requestConfigSync(); Ugly api: are requestConfigSync and requireConfigSync still required both?
void requireConfigSync();

Signals

void releaseVisualFocus();
