Topics
The following
Frameworks 5: Plugin implementation / EXPORT macros
We need to figure out how to implement C++ plugins and export them. This is needed for dataengines, runners and a bunch of other things. It manifests itself in
Frameworks 5: Plasma Quick 2 API review
After having gone through the C++ libplasma2 API, we should also do a review of our QML imports. API changes are documented here. (sebas)
Frameworks 5: Plasma-KWin IPC
There are a number of open questions such as:
- dialogs and tooltips: positioning, sizing and transitions between
- sharing textures, for example window "thumbnails", models, etc.
- "mixed effects", such as blurring behind animated items in a translucent Plasma dialog,
- libtaskmanager / window models
Screen edge handling
Can we find a better solution for screen edge handling? How are we going to handle this in a Wayland world, where the compositor is the only thing which *can* know enough details for handling screen edge detection (for example for showing Plasma panels) correctly. (aseigo, mgraesslin)
Dependencies on KWin, Wayland-vs-X11
Should we require KWin as compositor for Plasma2, possibly dropping support for other window managers? (aseigo, mgraesslin)
The Great RunnerManager Refactor Proposal
In which direction are we going to develop KRunner's overall architecture? Threading change, match updates / lifetime management, scheduling of init, teardown and match, AbstractRunner API might benefit from updates. (aseigo)
