Plasma/PortingTolibplasma2
Appearance
< Plasma
AbstractRunner
- init() is now virtual; does not need to be a slot
- mimeDataForMatch is now virtual; does not need to be a slot
- mimeDataForMatch is now passed the QueryMatch by reference rather than as a pointer
AbstractToolBox
- protected Q_SLOTS that were used as virtual methods (restore, save, reposition) are now proper virtuals
Applet
- listAppletInfoForMimetype becomes listAppletInfoForMimeType
- The BackgroundHints enumeration is now part of the Plasma namespace and no longer a flag but a plain enumeration.
- config(const QString &name) has been removed as redundant to KConfigGroup(&config(), name)
- removed screenGeometry()
- removed all geometry functions: size(), geometry(), transform(), zValue(), raise(), lower()
- addAction and action were removed, use actions() to get to the KActionCollection directly
Containment
- listContainmentsForMimetype becomes listContainmentsForMimeType
- context() was removed
- setActivity(QString) and activity() now use activity IDs rather than names
- zoomRequested signal was removed
- QGraphicsItem *toolBoxItem() was removed
- geometry functions removed: resize() setMinimumSize(), setMaximumSize()
- removed acceptDrops() / setAcceptDrops()
- enableAction was removed; use KActionCollection directly
- addAssociatedWidget and removeAssociated widget were removed as they are no longer necessary for shortcuts
ContainmentActions
- doesn't have Q_PROPERTIES or Q_INVOKABLES anymore, don't rely on those in client code
- paste method is removed; instead, look for an action named "drop-current-data" via containment()->action
- popupPosition is gone -> all screen visibility is handled by the GSS
- isInitialized() is gone -> if needed, track this in the class itself
- event(QEvent *) is replaced by triggerableContextAction, performNextAction and performPreviousAction
- ContainmentActionsSource enum type, getter and setter gone. All containment actions are global by their containment type, so all panels have the same config, all desktop have the same config
- name(), pluginName() and icon() gone; use pluginInfo() instead that has all this information
- use ContainmentActions::config() instead of Containment::containmentActionsConfig()
- createConfigurationInterface() is now void and uses a QWindow* as parameter
- configAccepted() gone: management of ok/apply/cancel buttons and config save has to be done by the plugin itself
- init() gone. plugins can do all their initialization in ctor now
- concept of configurationRequired gone. was not used and plugins can still have a configure plugin among their actions
- dataEngine() gone: was not used and DataEngineConsumer is public now, so is easy for plugins to use a dataengine if needed
- triggerableContextAction() gone: if the plugin has only one action executed directly, will have only one item as contextualActions()
- ContainmentActionsPluginConfig class gone from API: users of the library should never access it
Context
- Plasma::Context has been removed; the Activity DataEngines or KActivity* classes should be used instead.
Corona
- layoutContainment is now virtual (no actual porting required; it is still a protected slot)
- importLayout(const KConfigBase &config) was removed in favor of importLayout(const KConfigGroup &config)
- addContainmentDelayed was removed; all containments are now initialized in the same manner (with an internal delay; an implementation detail). Replace all uses of addContainmentDelayed with addContainment.
DataEngine
- source queue limit feature no longer available (no one used it)
DataEngineManager
- made private API; users of DataEngineManager should now use DataEngineConsumer
DataContainer
- added bool isUsed()
- removed protected checkUsage()
Dialog
- removed from libplasma
- will have to be reimplemented in QML bindings in PlasmaCore
- means will be visible from QML, not from the C++ part
Extenders
- removed; rarely used, many problems with the implementation, may be brought back via QML Component
PackageMetadata
- PackageMetadata was removed. It is replaced everywhere with KPluginInfo, except in AccessManager where a new class, RemoteObjectDescription, is used.
PackageStructure
- setMimetypes -> setMimeTypes
- setDefaultMimetypes -> setDefaultMimeTypes
- mimetypes(const char*) -> mimeTypes(const char*)
- sePrefix/prefix were removed in preference of the multi-path setPrefixPaths/prefixPaths
Plasma Namespace
- ContextConstraint is no longer a member of the Plasma::Constraint enumeration
- ZoomDirection, ZoomLevel and ScalingFactor were removed
PopupApplet
- Removed from libplasma
- Every applet will have to be able to collapse in a popup
Service
- parametersFromDescription now returns an unsorted QHash rather than a QMap
- createJob now takes a QHash instead of a QMap
- jobFinished signal was removed; connect to jobs individually instead
ServiceJob
- QMaps have been replaced with QHashes
ScrollWidget
- registerAsScrollWidget and unregisterAsScrollWidget removed
ToolTipContent
- setWidowToPreview/windowToPreview was removed; instead, use setWindowsToPreview/windowsToPreview which support more than one window id being passed in
Wallpaper
- listWallpapersForMimetype becomes listWallpapersForMimeType
WindowEffects
- moved to libkwindowsystem (a tier one Framework)
- overrideShadow is gone as it was rendered obsolete with new window manager development and had become a no-op
