1 2006-09-01 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ kde.org>
2 * Make DBUS really working.
4 2006-08-31 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
5 * Enable again FileDialog::getExistingDirectory. It is now fixed.
6 * YesNo messageboxes are bad for usability. Replace with YesNoCancel.
7 * Fix the messagebox order in the add download process (do not show the
10 2006-08-31 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
11 * Add the TransfersViewDelegate and TransferTreeSelectionModel classes.
12 * The former will be used to redesign the TransfersView look & feel,
13 now it is used just to catch the mouse events.
14 * The latter was introduced to have more control over the
15 items that can be selected by the user. In this way it was possible
16 to inhibit the selection of group objects.
17 * Show the KMenu when the user right clicks on a selection of transfers.
19 2005-11-03 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
20 * Add option to show / hide menubar and toolbar (forwardport)
22 2005-10-10 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
23 * Icon updates: Remove a lot icons. Most icons are part of
24 kdelibs. cr22-{app-kget}/{mime-kget_list}.png icons were 32x32.
25 Resized to 22x22. edit_add / edit_remove icons (used in sidebar)
26 aren't in kdelibs. Replaced with viewmag+/-. I know they are not
27 very suitable. But we have to do a lot of work on the sidebar.
28 * (Re-)implement "Copy URL to Clipboard" transfer action.
30 2005-10-07 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
31 * Work on configuration dialogs
32 * Make droptarget-sticky function working
33 * Start implementing expert-mode
34 * (Re-)implement clipboard-autopaste function
36 2005-10-06 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
37 * Make commandline option --showDropTarget working
39 2005-09-17 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
40 * Konqueror integration implementation.
41 Note: Konqueror freezes at download start if integration is enabled.
42 But I think it's more a Konqueror than a KGet problem. I hope I'll find a solution.
44 2005-09-10 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
45 * Now a TransferHandler object is created always bt the TransferFactory.
46 This allows to easily reimplement the TransferHandler class, just by
47 creating your own class and returning it when the createTransferHandler()
49 * More work on the BTTransferHandler class.
50 * The transfer plugins can now provide its details widget that is
51 displayed automatically at the bottom of the TransferDetails widget.
52 * Implementation of a first bittorrent details widget.
53 * Note that the bittorrent plugin currently has some problems related
54 to threads. It seems that Qt4 is quite different from Qt3 in these regards.
56 2005-09-08 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
57 * Start to implement properly the detailsWidgets for each transfer.
58 Now we have a basic widget available with all the plugins and the
59 next step is to add at the bottom of it another widget provided
60 by each plugin's factory with the createTransferDetails() function.
61 * Start to implement a BTTransferHandler class, reimplementation
62 of the generic TransferHandler class.
64 2005-09-02 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
65 * *Replace the old droptarget icon with the nuvola one
67 2005-08-31 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
68 * Icons in smaller sizes (forwardport)
69 * Work on configuration dialogs. Not finished yet.
71 2005-08-23 Urs Wolfer <uwolfer @ fwo.ch>
72 * Better KGet mime icon (forwardport)
73 * Remove artifacts from images (forwardport)
74 * Add action to show / hide drop target
75 * Add some actions to maintoolbar (new download, show / hide drop target)
76 * Fix a problem with the configuration dialog (wasn't shown the first call)
77 * Remove some compiler warnings
79 2005-08-12 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
80 * Make the configuration dialogs compile again, but we have to
81 completely redesign them, since they usually refer to settings
82 that are not available anymore.
83 * Fix a problem in the scheduler introduced with the last commit.
85 2005-08-11 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
86 * More work on the ViewsContainer class. Now we have 3 buttons:
87 "Downloads", "Finished" and "Transfer Details" one. The last one
88 is associated with a QMenu that lets you select which transfer to
90 * Fixed problem when stopping delayed transfers.
92 2005-08-06 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
93 * Change the way we handle the Transfer actions
94 * Reoganize the gui, introducing a new ViewsContainer class.
96 2005-08-02 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
98 * KGet ported to qt4. Here there are some issues that still need to be
99 resolved. For example I had to disable the bittorrent plugin becouse
100 currently I don't know how to make it compile again.
101 * Started implementing a new sidebar with qt3. Then I switched to qt4 and
102 realized I had to rewrite it, since I made use of the QListBox classes :-(
103 So I did. I used the QVBoxLayout class.
106 2005-07-29 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
108 * Implement two TransferGroup actions (start and stop) and a popupMenu()
109 function in the TransferGroupHandler function.
110 This means that now we can start the download of a group and all the
111 necessary scheduling operations are handled by the scheduler.
112 * Make it possible to have actions defined in the TransferGroupHandler
113 without having to make the handler a QObject. This was achieved by
114 creating a QObject object on demand only if necessary. I'm planning
115 to do the same with the TransferHandler class (where this issue becomes
116 even more critical, especially if the user has lots of transfers).
117 * Right clicking on a TransferGroup in the mainview shows a popup menu
118 populated with the available actions.
119 * Found a way to implement delays in the jobs. Since I don't want a Job to
120 be a QObject, I implemented the timers inside the Scheduler.
121 * When a download switches in the aborted status, delay it.
122 * Now if we move the transfers in a group, they are started or stopped
123 accordingly to their new position. Wow. This finally makes it possible for
124 us to decide in which order to download files!
125 * Implement the start and stop functions in the scheduler, which will
126 start and stop the download in all the available queues.
127 * Hide the m_statusText and m_statusPixmap members in the Transfer class.
128 A Transfer plugin now should call the Transfer::setStatus( ) function to
130 * Fixed a couple of memory leaks
132 2005-04-25 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
134 * Redesign of the TransferAction class.
135 * Now the selected transfers are handled in a perfect model/view style.
136 You can select a transfer by means of the TransferHandler. The selection
137 of a transfer triggers a TransferChangedEvent. The list of selected
138 transfers can be retrived from the model.
139 * With this code in place, I added, as a proof of concept, two actions
140 in the toolbar, that are executed only on the selected transfers.
141 * New default TransferAction: "open destination". I think it's very useful
142 * In the mainview the icon associated with each transfer now reflects
143 the mymetype of the file.
144 * Several changes in the Transfer and TransferGroup API
145 * Reorganization of the bittorrent plugin code. Now we check in the
146 Factory if the file is local, and only if this is true we create the
147 BTTransfer object. This allowed to remove lots of code.
148 * Now we can load and save the transfers when starting and closing kget.
149 It seems to work, but I didn't test this very much.
150 * Other things, that now I don't remember :-)
152 2005-04-17 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
154 * Much work on the Job, JobQueue, TransferGroup, TransferHandler classes
155 * Make it possible for each Transfer plugin to define its own actions,
156 or to simply extend the default ones that ship with the base Transfer
158 * Add a new TransferAction class that is basically a KAction with the
159 possibility to attach Transfer objects. When the action is executed,
160 this applies to all the attached Transfers. In this way we can create
161 each action only once, saving lots of resources.
162 * Make the TransferFactory return a pointer to a KPopupMenu, filled with
163 the actions that belong to all the transfer of the given list of transfers.
164 * Start to implement the start() and stop() functions in TransferHandler
165 * Start to turn the JobQueue in a standalone class, that doesn't need
166 to be reimplemented (but that can be reimplemented, as the TransferGroup
168 * Start to implement the Scheduler class.
169 * Various fixes and cleanups.
171 The code now allows to start and stop a transfer from the view, only by means
172 of the popupmenu. I think now it should be possible to add the long
173 awaited bitTorrent plugin, at least for testing pourposes.
175 2005-03-26 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
176 * Reorganization of the model class
177 * The new plugin structure starts working
179 2005-03-06 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
180 The work on the new architecture has started.
182 2005-01-29 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
183 * Make it possible in the mainview to move the transfer to a new group
185 * group.{h,cpp}: big optimization: cache the groupChanged signals. In this
186 way the GroupList object emits far less signals than before. If you have n
187 transfers, this can save up to 2*n-1 signal calls that are all packed in
189 * Cleaned up the code a bit.
191 2005-01-22 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
192 * Ported the new sidebar to the QListBox class.
194 2005-01-15 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
195 * Initial implementation of a new sidebar.
197 2005-01-14 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
198 * Improve the progressbar look&feel
200 2005-01-14 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
201 * Improve the mainview look&feel, especially in the way the groups
202 are painted. The priority column has been removed. The arrow indicators
203 showing the priority have been changed to display a kget icon, that gets
204 colorized with a color which depends on the priority level.
206 2005-01-14 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
207 * Implement delay in the transfer class. We don't need this function
208 to be abstract virtual. Remove its partial implementation from the
210 * Now the scheduler sets a small delay (5 seconds) when necessary
211 (with broken urls) to the transfers. This is enough to allow the
212 scheduler to skip them when downloading and to go on downloading the
213 non broken urls. Nice behaviour, IMHO.
215 2005-01-14 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
216 * Correct stupid bug that caused wrong updates of the percent field
219 2005-01-13 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
220 * Reorganization of the directories. Some files have been renamed.
222 2004-11-05 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
223 * Fixed nasty bug in transferKio.cpp which produced a crash every time
224 a download was aborted.
225 * Now also the scheduler is a TransferInterrogator. This means that
226 I have removed the transferStatusChanged signal and now only the
227 transferChanged signal is emitted from the transfer object :-)
229 2004-11-05 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
230 * New system tray icon effects. This has been realized looking at the
231 amarok code. In the future, when other things will be in place, I will
232 surely paint an icon filled according to the current downloading progress.
234 2004-11-05 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
235 * Delayed initialization. This should speed up the application startup
236 especially when the user has lots of transfers.
238 2004-11-05 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
239 * Cleanups all over the code.
241 * interrogator.h: Now we have this new file that defines the two classes
242 TransferInterrogator and GroupInterrogator. If a class wants to interrogate
243 a transfer or a group object it should reimplement them.
245 * group.{h,cpp}: The progressed size, totalSize and percent properties are
246 not saved anymore to file. Now we update the group properties every time
247 we see that a transfer that belongs to the group has changed. Each group
248 change is notified to all the views.
250 * mainview.cpp: fixed crash when executing actions on a group item.
252 2004-10-17 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
254 * transfer.{h,cpp}: New class TransferInterrogator that abstracts the
255 objects that can "interrogate" the Transfers using the function
256 changesFlags(TransferInterrogator *). In this way not only the views
257 can do it but also, for example, the GroupList objects.
259 * group.{h,cpp}: The Group class has been further developed to keep
260 global statistics on its transfers. There is still lots of work to do.
262 * mainview.{h,cpp}: Tried to achieve a better look&feel. I'm not very
263 happy with the final result, yet.
265 2004-10-16 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
267 * Added license statements.
269 * mainview.cpp: Some more work on the groups.
271 2004-10-10 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
273 * group.{h,cpp}: This file introduces the Group and GroupList classes.
275 * panels/groupspanel.{h,cpp}: This is the new "group panel". It's far
276 from complete, but at least we can add/remove groups, this gets notified
277 to all the views and saved to the "transfers.kgt" together with the
280 2004-10-04 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
282 * transfer.{h,cpp}: The transfer class has been completely rewritten. Now
283 it is possible to implement a new Transfer simply inheriting the Transfer
284 class and implementing the virtual methods.
285 There is also a new api that allows each view to ask the transfer which
286 particular field in the Info struct has changed since the last update. This
287 results in a big optimization becouse we can now avoid unnecessary repaints.
289 * transferKio.{h,cpp}: This is the first implemented transfer. It's the
290 simplest transfer one can implement since it uses a KIOSlave.
292 * views/mainview.{h,cpp}: New view that should be the main one. It
293 reimplements the KListView class. The "special features" list contains
294 the introduction of some cool icons and a new progress bar.
296 2004-10-05 Dario Massarin <nekkar@libero.it>
297 * transferlist.{h,cpp}: Api semplifications. In this moment there are some
298 new problems I have just discover and I will fix tomorrow.
300 * transferlist.{h,cpp}, transfer.{h,cpp}: The way kget saves the transfers
301 into the transfers.kgt file has been completely rethinked. The code has been
302 rewritten from scratch and now it uses QDom. In this way each new transfer can,
303 if needed, save its own data that isn't already saved by the Transfer class.
