QuickAccess (maintenance fork)

Plasma 4 Extensions

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

This is a maintenance fork for the QuickAccess plasmoid. The author has seemingly stopped writing the plasmoid, so I've opted to fork the plasmoid so that it still will be maintained. If the author decides to come back, then this fork will probably be merged back in to the original QuickAccess code.

I don't really think that anything other than a few assorted bugfixes and a small feature or two will ever come of this branch, but at least the plasmoid will stay maintained. :)

Bugs can be reported at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/quickaccess.
The latest sourcecode for the development version of QuickAccess can be found at https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~echidnaman/quickaccess/trunk

If you would like to translate this plasmoid to your native language, the .po files are in the source :) Just send me a message if you are interested.

0.9 is also coming soonish, so stay tuned!

I LOVE QuickAccess. I really hope that it gets ported to qt5, Plasma2 and QML2. That way I'll be able to keep using it next year and beyond as KDE shifts over to KDE Frameworks 5 and Wayland. I'll be really sad to see it go.

Actually, for anyone looking to install quickaccess in plasma 5, the same functionality is included in the folder view widget and works great!

As long as this is not maintained I took over and created a new maintenance fork: QuickAccess 0.8.2: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=134442

- added the ability to follow the maximum panel icons size
- removed all references to dolphin sorting so that it compiles on KDE SC 4.6+

In particular, the problem is in the file

popupdialogue.cpp

lines 252 and 326. Deleting these lines and the surrounding "if" statements produced a version that compiles.

Quickaccess is very useful, as I don't need to open Dolphin for my work folder.
It would be even more useful with bigger folders, if you could add a(n optional) filter bar in order to find a specific file.
Thanks in advance for considering the idea.

Please use this version for KDE SC 4.5 + 4.6:

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/?content=134442

It contains the patch for the panel icon size adjustment so that the quickaccess icon can be larger than 32x32.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/quickaccess/+bug/630879 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/quickaccess/+bug/670025

Jonathan, can you please update your version so that I can remove mine?

Hello!

Maybe I'm just missing something completely obvious:

With every dark theme for rthe desktop design, the text color of quickaccess will be light grey on a white cloudy background. Completely unusable ...

I understand the text color is controled by the theme, but there should be a configuration dialog somewhere in settings to control the text color, or to have a version for light themes and one for dark themes ...


plz help,
thx, piedro

AFAIK it cannot be controlled by the widget, it's all in the hands and good will of the plasma theme. I also use a dark theme, the text in quickaccess is white and good readable. I use the black H2O theme by Rogério de Souza.

Hello,

would it be possible to add a list where all your Places like in Dolphin are displayed?

Thank you!

The correct link to the Launchpad bug report is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-quickaccess/+bug/630879 - in case someone wants to adjust the widget source for use with 4.5.1 before compiling (so that the widget follows the panel icon size settings in systemsettings).

Never tried the knormal solution as I didn't know how to implement it correctly, but upgrading, whit only the repos:

oss
no-osss
update
KDE factory
and KDE factory extras did the trick

which by the way actually downgraded the plasmoid along with other aplications, now its perfect!!!

I had the same problem when I upgraded to KDE 4.5 on Mandriva 2010.1. I got it to work by compiling the latest source code from the above link, but it's buggy. It doesn't resize right and if you change any settings all the icons disappear, but it's better than nothing. Hopefully someone will pick up development again, this is my most-used Plasmoid.

For anyone who tries to build from source, I had to make the following changes to quickaccess.cpp to get it to compile:

Line 73: Missing closing parenthesis
Plasma::ToolTipManager::self()->registerWidget(this ;
vs
Plasma::ToolTipManager::self()->registerWidget(this) ;

Line 162: Missing parentheses
uiAppearance.iconSizeCombo->setCurrentIndex(uiAppearance.iconSizeCombo->findText(QString::number m_settings->iconSize()))
vs
uiAppearance.iconSizeCombo->setCurrentIndex(uiAppearance.iconSizeCombo->findText(QString::number (m_settings->iconSize())))


If anyone wants to try my precompiled binary I put it up here: http://www.softcom.net/users/nye/knormal/quickaccess_mdv2010.1_0.9b.tar.gz. I have no idea how or if it will work on other distros.

hi thank you, but how should I install this, should I remove the plasmoid first or will it just overwrite it?

Just installed H2O icons and they also explained me how to do it pretty easy.. but if I do the same here, I go to the file location from within the plasmoid installer and it doesnt se anything, even if I uncompress the file from the tar file, thank you in advance!!!!

and have a great day! :)

In KDE 4.5 you can finally set the maximum size of the icons in the panel. That does work for application launcher icons, I finally have a panel with icons in size 128x128 - but the quickaccess widget's icon stays at tiny size 32x32 - how comes?

In case anyone is interested in a solution: I edited quickaccess.cpp and quickaccess.h - and now it works. Diffs available here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-quickaccess/+bug/6308799

QuickAccess is crashing Plasma on the new 4.5 betas. Please go to bugs.kde.org and look at bug #232363.

I've just update to beta 2 and am lost without QuickAccess. Please see if you can fix it.
