Although it looks very much the same, the developers have introduced a huge number of changes to the device man- ager in Version 4.4. When you mouse over a disk or CD/ DVD icon, the device manager displays an additional information bar showing you how many actions are predefined for the device (more details of this later on). Clicking the plug icon on the far right mounts the medium without performing any other actions (Figure 8). This two- click trick takes less than a second – a considerable time savings compared with giving a mount command at the console.

The KDevelop IDE closes this gap and makes it a joy to work within a complete, integrated development environment, combining the use of the GNU standard development tools such as the g++ compiler and the gdb debugger with the advantages of a GUI-based environment that automates all standard actions and allows the developer to concentrate on the work of writing software instead of managing command-line tools. It also offers direct and quick access to source files and docu- mentation. KDevelop primarily aims to provide the best means to rapidly set up and write KDE software; it also supports extended features such as GUI designing and translation in con- junction with other tools available especially for KDE development. The KDevelop IDE itself is published under the GNU Public License (GPL), like KDE, and is therefore publicly avail- able at no cost—including its source code—and it may be used both for free and for commer- cial development.

AVEZ-VOUS BESOIN DE CE LIVRE ? Vous devriez lire ce livre si vous voulez développer pour KDE. Nous utilisons le terme développement très largement pour couvrir tout ce qui peut conduire à un changement dans le code source, ce qui inclut : Soumettre une correction de bogue Écrire une nouvelle application optimisée par la technologie KDE Contribuer à un projet existant Ajouter de la fonctionnalité aux bibliothèques de développement de KDE Dans ce livre, nous vous livrerons les bases dont vous avez besoin pour être un développeur productif. Nous décrirons les outils que vous devrez installer, montrer comment lire la documentation (et écrire la vôtre propre, une fois que vous aurez créé la nouvelle fonctionnalité !) et comment obtenir de l'aide par d'autres moyens. Nous vous présenterons la communauté KDE, qui est essentielle pour comprendre KDE parce que nous sommes un projet « open source », libre (gratuit). Les utilisateurs finaux du logiciel n'ont PAS besoin de ce livre ! Cependant, ils pourraient le trouver intéressant pour les aider à comprendre comment les logiciels complexes et riches en fonctionnalités qu'ils utilisent ont vu le jour. 3 2. LA PHILOSOPHIE DE KDE Le succès de KDE repose sur une vue globale, que nous avons trouvée à la fois pratique et motivante. Les éléments de cette philosophie de développement comprennent : L'utilisation des outils disponibles plutôt que de ré-inventer ceux existants : beaucoup des bases dont vous avez besoin pour travailler font déjà partie de KDE, comme les bibliothèques principales ou les « Kparts », et sont tout à fait au point.

  • KDE Plasma 5
    Arvo Mägi KDE Plasma 5 Tallinn, 2017 1 Sissejuhatus KDE töökeskkonnale pani aluse saksa programmeerija Matthias Ettrich 14.10.1996. 2016. a oktoobris sai populaarne KDE seega 20. aastaseks. Hea ülevaate KDE ajaloost annab artikkel „19 Years of KDE History: Step by Step.” KDE 4.14 ilmumisega oli KDE saavutanud kasutusküpsuse, kuid edasine areng kippus takerduma – vaja oli põhimõttelisi uuendusi. Otsustati võtta kasutusele iseseisvatel moodulitel põhinev KDE 5 arhitektuur – Qt/Frameworks. Kõik KDE rakendusprogrammid, sh Plasma 5 töölaud, kasutavad ainult konkreetse rakenduse jaoks vajalikke mooduleid. Varem kasutati kõigi rakenduste jaoks ühist suurt teeki, mis raskendas muudatuste tegemist ja pidurdas arendustööd. Qt on C++ programmeerimiskeskkond. Pikaajalise toega Qt 5.9 LTS ilmus 31. mail 2017. KDE Frameworks on 70 moodulist koosnev komplekt, mis lihtsustab Qt keskkonnas KDE programmide koostamist. Frameworks veaparandused ja täiendused ilmuvad iga kuu. KDE Plasma 5 töölaud põhineb KDE Frameworksil (KF5). Töölaua veaparandused ilmuvad iga kuu, vajadusel mitu korda kuus, uued versioonid kord kvartalis. Plasma 5.8 LTS, mis on pikaajalise toega (18 kuud), ilmus 4.10.2016, veidi enne KDE 20. aastaseks saamist. Plasma 5.10 ilmus 30.05.2017. Järgmine pikaajalise toega Plasma 5.12 ilmub 2018. a jaanuaris. Plasma 5 töölaud on pälvinud palju kiitvaid hinnanguid ja sobib igapäevaseks tööks. Eeldab kaasaegset, mitme tuumaga protsessori ja piisava mäluga (vähemalt 4 GB) arvutit. SSD kettalt töötab välkkiirelt. Töölaud on keskkond rakendusprogrammide käivitamiseks ja kasutamiseks. KF5-le on üle viidud kõik KDE põhirakendused (failihaldur Dolphin, pildinäitaja Gwenview, konsool Konsole, teksti- redaktor Kate, ekraanitõmmise võtja Spectacle, videoredaktor Kdenlive, plaadikirjutaja K3b jt). Need on KDE Applications koosseisus, mille uued versioonid ilmuvad kolm korda aastas, veaparandused kord kuus.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.
