Enable power management by default on battery devices

The module should be present in the lxqt session config and enabled when we detect, on first run, a battery. Currently it's not even present in the session config.

Does not install correctley

http://paste.chakra-project.org/6088/

Upon reboot there is no session. Distro is Chakra.

[Lximage] Add slide show mode

TODO: implement slide show for lximage.

[lxqt-config-input] Add support for input methods settings. (Needed by Asian countries, mainly CJK)

Add an option in the keyboard configuration tool to turn on input method in the session.
Provide a list of supported input methods (ibus, scim, fcitx, gcin, ...).
Disabled by default. If it's turned on, set QT_IM_MODULE, GTK_IM_MODULE, and XIM environment variables properly for the desktop session.
This feature is needed by Asian users.

Notifications show up under calendar plugin

When notifications are in the same place as the calendar plugin (opened), the calendar will always show up in front of the notifications. That shouldnt be the case.

What kind of remote data access for applications?

Hi,

What kind of remote data access for applications will become a part of LXDE-Qt?

GVFS (the Gnome Virtual File System) works much better than the crappy KIO (KDE Input/Output).

Ettore

Protocol support in mime type config

Razor-qt/razor-qt#649

Fix translations of all components

Fix translations of all components

Qt5 support

[Lximage] Include mouse cursor in the screenshot.

Currently there is an option in the screenshot dialog for including mouse cursor in the screenshot, but it does not work.
TODO: Implement this feature.

Lid watcher: Disable by default

This has to be double-checked but I believe it is usually handled by the kernel.

Move cursor theme settings to lxqt-config-appearance

Likely good to leave a button in mouse settings that lets you open lxqt-config-appearance on the cursor theme page. Eg.: Cursor theme: [Oxygen]

Lximage has no preferences dialog.

TODO: Implement some options correctly.

Git and zip has empty subdirectorys

I tried git 2 ways, one by using git clone, and realized most of the subdirectories are empty. The other by downloading .zip file, also empty. Weird that the actual repository shows data in the directory's.

lxqt-panel battery plugin dependencies?

I can't find the dependencies for the lxqt-panel battery plugin. They are not listed at build time.

lximage-qt dependency on pcmanfm-qt/libfm-qt should be optional

Wayland support

Building instruction wanted

1. HowTo build all
2. BuildRequires

[lxqt-config-appearance] May add an switch to turn on/off compton.

May add a page for "Special effects".
In this page, add an option for turning on xcompositor (compton).
Also, add the Qt special effects options here (animation for menus and other widgets).

Supporting DBusActivatable apps

I don't believe we support those yet. We should. (Ping me with any questions regarding this)

Recommended icon theme

I am getting very annoyed at Oxygen. The oxygen-icons developers are impossible to reach.

If we are to keep recommending Oxygen we need a better channel of communication between us. Otherwise we should find a suitable theme whose devs are more accessible imho.

React when a display gets unplugged

Moved from Razor-qt/razor-qt#612.

When a display gets unplugged, we should warn the user through a pop up dialog and ask them whether to update the current display configuration to remove that display.

We should not do this automatically in case the display has been temporarily unplugged (whether intended or not). For that reason, we should automatically get rid of that dialog box in case the display gets plugged back in.

openssh-askpass becomes maximized when setting openbox configuration

I have changed my openbox configuration to maximize all 'normal' applications in this way.

<application type="normal">
  <maximized>true</maximized>
</application>

This works for all applications including openssh-askpass, which IMO should not be the case. It looks really weird.

If I undo the maximization is looks normal again.

I have a hunch that openssh-askpass should be of type 'dialog' (or similar) and not a normal application. This would prevent this minor annoyance.

Am I correct? And if so, would you mind to fix this?

compile lxqt-panel, error..., What package should be installed, but sysstat lib is installed.

CMake Error at plugin-sysstat/CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package):
By not providing "FindSysStat.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "SysStat", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SysStat" with any
of the following names:

SysStatConfig.cmake
sysstat-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "SysStat" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"SysStat_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"SysStat" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.

[lxqt-config-randr] External monitor doesn't works.

Hi.
Yesterday I installed Archlinux and LXQT again on my laptop. I tried to use my external monitor (VGA) by lxqt-config-randr and it doesn't works. My desktop blinks on external monitor and than it's disappear and there is black screen (with backlight).
When I use xrandr from terminal everything works.

Tell me if I can check something what would be helpful.

[Lximage] Add thumbnail support to lximage.

By using the Fm::FolderView class from libfm-qt, we can add a pane of thumbnails.

Move libfm-qt away from pcmanf-qt dir

It's not pcmanfm-qt specific anymore. lximage-qt is using it.
@PCMan Should be taken in account when defining repo layout.

Add proper mimetype handling

Hello, I really appreciate what you're doing here.When I click "Open Directory" or "Open containing folder" and such thing in other programs,it opens my web-browser Qupzilla not pcmanfm-qt.It could be related to lxqt-config-file-associations.inode/directory option was already set to pcmanfm.There is no file:// association under the uri category.I hope you can fix it.

Add options for double click interval in the mouse settings.

Add options for double click interval in the mouse settings.
This value can be written to ~/.config/Trolltech.conf and the gtk config files.
So all programs running in the DE can apply the setting.

Setting default cursor does not work.

Setting default cursor does not work.
Writing config values to xrdb does not work occassionally.
It's more reliable to create a theme named "default" in ~/.icons and inherit the cursor theme we want in it. LibXcursor will pick it up if there's a "default" theme.

Add a keyboard layout settings module

From Razor-qt/razor-qt#53

About dialog shows twice in configuration center

I doubt that it was meant to show this twice.

If not, would you mind to fix it?

Change power management defaults on idleness watcher

Idle watch is currently set to 5 seconds and disabled by default. Change it to 5 minutes and enabled by default.

Integrate xiccd to provide color management function

Low priority.
May use xiccd for adding color management feature.
https://github.com/agalakhov/xiccd

Add change user functionality

See Razor-qt/razor-qt#322

Document power management dependencies

I'm having to update lxqt-powermanagement dependencies and I'm lost between all the backends and potential dependencies.

I'm having a bit of a packaging conundrum as well. If lxqt-powermanagement depends on liblxqt, which in turn has optional dependencies on a set of potential backends, then we have to make sure the dependencies are in liblxqt and not lxqt-powermanagement. Yes?

Add cmake code for creating tarballs

Add CMake rules to creating tarballs.
Optionally, we can also create a CMake module for this task.
So we can use it easily in every component.

lxqt-runner unable to run commands in home dir

From Razor-qt/razor-qt#264
cd && echo "echo foo >> bar" > test.sh && chmod +x test.sh

Versions

As packaging to rpms wants setting package versions I propose to create file 'ver' in each folder. Then it will be possible to create -.tar.bz2 of each module.

Use mimeapps.list instead of defaults.list in file association config

Razor-qt/razor-qt#603

Backlight control in power management

We should offer a backlight control app for devices on battery.

To consider:

• Keybind handling (most devices come with brightness controls, cf XF86 BRIGHTNESS input)
• A brightness slider as a panel plugin (like the volume control plugin)
• Automatic brightness adjustments depending on battery state. Should be configurable in power management config.

Improve lock screen error message if xscreensaver is missing

See last comment in Razor-qt/razor-qt#320

Use a toplevel CMakeList.txt to build all sub projects at once

The build system should work as it was one big repo.

Support for new mimeapps.list spec

http://standards.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-latest.html

Integrate lxqt-config-mouse and lxqt-config-input

Options are:

1. Merge lxqt-config-mouse and lxqt-config-input.
2. May also split lxqt-config-input into lxqt-onfig-keyboard and lxqt-config-mouse and add mouse cursor theming support.

Battery icon doesn't show.

I checked "Show battery status icon in tray" and there is no new icon in my tray.

Archlinux + LXQT GIT.

Support desktop actions in the launcher

UI TBD.

Add a system monitor based on libsysstat and libstatgrab

Low priority. May add a Qt-based simple system monitor.
Alternatively, we can see if fixing qps is possible.
