Hi, this is a very nice patch, but on my gentoo, i can only see 1 frame of the animation. The only way i found to see the animation is to start kfind and search for every file with the letter e inside (eat 100% of cpu). Aparently the animation is so fast that my open source intel driver (i865) dont have the time to render 2 frame...

Is it possible to edit the patch to render the zoom during a specific (customisable) amount of time instead of taking 100% of the cpu during the less time possible?

Do you use a compositing manager?
That could be the cause...

I am currently working on that issue as stated in the Changelog.

I never tested under compiz/beryl...

Now, I just tested under beryl 0.1.9999.2 (X-effects overlay), and it works fine for me.

It is fast... but I definately get the animation frames.

Like i said, it is just too fast, i can only see it when i use portage or things like that. Yes i use berl, but i tried without. If the creator of this patch can add a setting for the nuber of frame or the time, it can be interresting.

Like he said, it is too slow on slow CPU, me, it is the oposite, i got a too much optimised kde...

There is a delay in it. But it may be it's too short or optimized out somehow... I'll check that and fix it for the next update (expect it to be soon.)

Thanks!

That would be perfect!

No, thats not the best option. I think I'll make it the KDE way: Let the user configure it :)

Somewhere below a KControl patch was suggested. If that person is so kind to send me his patch then I'll include it and extend it for setting the animation speed.

I use the old one (3.5.5). Gentoo team seem to have hardmasked 3.5.6 for a bug (probably this one). But i just recompiled kdebase and now the animation speed is perfect, not too slow and not too fast. Folders dont "wait" until the animation is over and i can see the animation.

Thanks! (and if you didnt made any changes in kdebase, i dont know how my problem got solve)

You should offer older version of the patch as "fast" "medium" and "slow" and possibly an "extremely fast" for older machine instead of trying to tweak the amount of frame to reach a "perfect standard". Thats my opinion.

Your Problem Elv is not connected to my patch but to the libart_lgpl package.

The programmer of libart made a mistake and it'll not build currently.

Either up- or downgrade libart, that should fix the issue (if you don't want to do that search the kde mailing lists for a patch. There is one but I don't know the URL though)

Ido, i dont know why (i dont know if its related to your patch) but kdelibs fail to compile. With the last version, everything was perfect, almost any warning, but now i get an error. Here is the last part of the compiling (sorry to the size)

Just in case you monitor this...

UPDATE :)

Strange, I have an intel card and can see the animation fine...

Hi!!

Could you please tell me which icon set you are using? Thanks.

I knew that this question will pop up.

I have to diappoint you, it's a wild mix of different Themes. Some Icons from "Realistik", "Human", "Crystal Clear", "Vista Inspirate", Nuvoext", "OSX" and "Tango"

I think a quite similar look you get with installing "KDE Crystal Diamond 2.5 - Classical Mod" but don't ask me where to find it.

Gentoo e-builds updated in xeffects overlay to version 0.3

Hi,

I have integrated this into the Xeffects overlay for Gentoo if anyone is interested.

http://www.gentoo-xeffects.org/

The overlay can be added via the overlay tool layman. Check out the Xeffects wiki for details.

http://wiki.gentoo-xeffects.org/

These are done as split ebuilds, and in order to do so, I had to alter the kdelibs patch to insert in the header section. Otherwise, it was possible that kdelibs may not compile.

Cheers,
Rod.

Splitted patch is now online, with minor bugfix and qapplication.h included.

Still doesn't correctly display all animations with composite manager enabled. I'll try to fix this tomorrow evening.

Sorry... typo in last message...

The addition was <qtapplication.h>. to kdelibs patch.

So, when you make your splits, please remember to add this in just before or after the <qpoint.h> insertion in the patch.

God I can't type... qapplication and not qtapplication....

Gee, I know what you mean ;)

What is/are the bug fixes you are talking about. I'd like to integrate them as soon as possible.

Thanks

See last entry in the changelog of the entry :)

Nice one, you should get in touch for example with the Plasma developers (KDE 4) to speak about such techniques and how you might want to integrate them into KDE 4 - I'm quite sure they will be happy to hear about what you did :)

I see the patch is only for the monolithic kdebase package. Any chance of getting a patch for the modular packages (i.e. one for each konqueror, kicker, whatever)?
