Description Vovochka 2015-06-23 01:52:21 UTC 
In times of KDE4 method actionCollectino was returning a KActionCollection, so that there was a way to find an "quit" action.

Currently actionCollection method returns QList, so that there is no way to determine "quit" action.
Commonly it is needed to reconnect action trigger to a custom slot, cause by default KSNI "quit" action _always_ asks whether user wants to quit or not. many apps changes such behavior. With QList there is no way to find "quit" action in a list.

Possible solutions:
1) Add another actionCollection that will return internal QMap as is.
2) Add action(Qstring) method that will search for requested action in internal map.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Martin Klapetek 2015-06-23 10:00:07 UTC 
Thanks for the report

I think that the reason why it got removed was that the intended usage is meant to be this:

QAction *quitAction;
Q_FOREACH(QAction *action, ksni->actionCollection()) {
    if (action == KStandardAction::quit()) {
        quitAction = action;
    }
}

...wouldn't that work?
Comment 2 Martin Klapetek 2015-06-23 10:04:09 UTC 
Actually ignore that, that wouldn't work.
Comment 3 Martin Klapetek 2015-06-23 10:07:49 UTC 
What you can do however, in the meantime anyway, is to set

setStandardActionsEnabled(false);

which will not put a "quit" action in the menu and then add your own quit action by using

addAction(QString, QAction*);
Comment 4 Vovochka 2015-06-23 10:19:45 UTC 
But this also will disable "minimizeRestore" action that has a little bit advanced logic.
I do not want to reimplement this logic too.

This makes standard actions from KSNI useless and unneeded. Don't you think so?
