Description: Shortlog saves small information snippets for quick retrieval later on. The information snippets or notes get a timestamp to make it easier to find them again. The idea is to store information you have no good place for or might not need again in a simple way. But if you need them again, you can simply look them up.
How to use it:
* Add a new note: insert it and hit "enter" or click "OK" * Search for a note: the first character needs to be "/", then just input your search pattern (regex possible) and click "OK" * Delete something: search for it and then click "Delete Selected" to delete all search results
Awards: 2nd Runner Up in the 2010 KDE Javascript Jam SessionLast changelog:
Greetings,
first off, your plasmoid is great, was searching for something like that.
Since today it does not work for me (i updated the system before).
It says:
Result of expression 'textdata.push'[undefined] is not a function.
But its not the same problem as the one already fixed here; i did a "print(textdata)" after line 136, and it said:
QVariant(QStringList)
This seems to be related with http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267809
I wonder if you could implement an alternative way to save the entries to a separate file (as already requested). This would bypass this bug and in addition would be a nice feature.
Anyway, i would be happy if i could implement it myself, but i don't know how to save files with Javascript, maybe you can help me with that? ;)
Regards, Pascal
I've tried installing 'ShortLog' via
'cashew->Add Widgets...->Get New Widgets->Download Now Widgets...->...' and via
'cashew->Add Widgets...->Get New Widgets->Install Widget from Local File...->...' and via
'plasmapkg -i ./123379-shortlog.plasmoid'
...
I don't see how to start it. I go to
'Ccashew->Add Widgets ...',
and don't see 'ShortLog' anywhere.
I scrolled threw threw the list, and didn't see it there.
Tried typing 'Short' or 'Log' into the 'Enter Search Term' box, and I don't see it there either.
I even tried seeing if installed as a 'View Layout', not there either.
How can I start 'ShortLog', etc...?
p.s. I'm using KDE 4.6.1 on KUbuntu 10.10.
I installed it on KDE 4.5.5 on Mandriva ... install went OK. I can't find plasmoid anywhere.
Tried to install from net, reinstall, install from file with plasmapkg.
It also doesn't show up in plasmoidviewer --list, however if I want to install it again with plasmapkg it says it's already installed.
Restarting X & KDE doesn't help either.
I really like this plasmoid.
Now that I'm on KDE 4.6 it doesn't work anymore:
Error in contents/code/main.js on line 121.
TypeError: Result of expression 'textdata.push' [undefined] is not a function.
I looked into the code, but I concluded I do not know enough about the framework to solve this.
So, how to solve this?
Same problem here:
In 4.6. plasmoid.readConfig("data") on Line 133 of main.js returns an empty string.
This bug can be fixed by adding
if (textdata == ""){
textdata = []
}
just after Line 133 (e.g. after textdata = plasmoid.readConfig("data")).
---
Unfortunately readConfig always returns an empty string and thus all data gets lost when plasma restarts....
/nik
Hard to tell. For me it's not even present in the widget explorer anymore. plasmapkg -i didn't produce any error messages, but there is a folder in .kde4/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids with the corresponding files.
Nop it's not working :-(
your metadata.desktop is wrong:
#ServiceTypes=Plasma/PopupApplet
#ServiceTypes=Plasma/Applet,Plasma/PopupApplet
You need to remove the '#' at least from one of these line.
for kde = 4.4 you need:
ServiceTypes=Plasma/PopupApplet
for kde > 4.4 you need:
ServiceTypes=Plasma/Applet,Plasma/PopupApplet
---
Unfortunately ALL entries still get lost after plasma reloads. Most probably a kde bug :-(
----
Would be nice if the entries could get exported to a text-file (I lost all data... )
/nik
Really nice plasmoid, and works great!
Just wondering: would it be possible to get it to save the data in a file of its own rather than one of the plasma config-files? It would make transfering data between say a home-computer and a work-computer so much easier!
Failing that, how about an export/import function?
I sent you an email with some ideas a few days ago. I can see how nice it is working right now.
I do agree with DanaKil about deleting an entry just by selecting the line or a few characters of it.
Thanks again!
Very useful, I like it a lot
I'd love if you or someone else make this plasmoid embeddable in a panel (maybe only an icon in the panel and a popup containing the same plasmoid layout as the desktop version)
It could be great to have a "clear" button in the input field too.
And maybe one could delete an entry just by selecting the line or a few characters in the line ?
Anyways, thanks :)

Looks ideal for a krunner plugin. Some folks use the runner more for text based stuff, others will prefer the individual plasmoid interface.

Thanks a lot for the help. I added it and hope it works again.
