Description Nicolas L. 2009-01-13 20:54:52 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Bug reported by a mandriva user :

Description of problem:

Since today/yesterday when you select file size view in konqueror it is no
longer possible to delete that file (there is an offer to open it with the
correct app), copy, cut or move it . 

File size view is incredebly handy for finding wasted diskspace and cleaning up
disks, not being able to delete files/directories is a major loss of function


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kde 4.2 RC1

How reproducible:

100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install konq-plugins
2.start konqueror in a directory 
3.select file size view
4.right click a file and notice not option to delete, move to trash, cut, move
etc nor any other file manipulation
Comment 1 aapgorilla 2009-01-14 21:54:38 UTC
This feature was present in kde3.5 and very useful, please add it back again.
Comment 2 aapgorilla 2009-07-10 00:38:34 UTC
still no fix in 4.3 :(

Comment 4 Simon St James 2009-10-28 21:42:13 UTC
Having a quick peek at this now, but KActions and .rc files are a bit of a black art to me :)
Comment 5 Simon St James 2009-10-28 22:04:44 UTC
Ok, I have working "Move To Trash" (thankyou, Dolphin! :)).  I have no idea what changed between KDE3 and KDE4 that let this all work before, but it should be quite easy to fix.  I'll attach a patch sometime tomorrow.
Comment 6 aapgorilla 2009-10-28 22:26:14 UTC
Wow great, it would be really great if all the other file manipulation
options where there too
Comment 7 Simon St James 2009-10-28 22:53:43 UTC
@aapgorilla:

"Wow great, it would be really great if all the other file manipulation

Of course - the Move To Trash thing is just a proof-of-concept - I'll make sure to add all of the other actions when I attach the patch :)

File management actions for KDE4 FSView (first attempt)

@Josef: Could you review this for me? :)
Comment 9 Josef Weidendorfer 2009-10-30 19:09:02 UTC
Ah, thanks for doing this!

I tried to revive the actions at end of July (after seeing this bug
report, but obviously made no comment). At that time, I fixed some drawing
bugs. But I had no time to work into KDE4 KPart details, so it did not
work out.

Anyway, it looks OK from a rough view. If it works, and is taken from
Dolphin, it should be fine. Just one thing, regarding the treemap.cpp
change: TreeMapWidget is more or less a copy from the one in KCachegrind,
and I want to keep them in sync. And there, it makes not much sense to
clear the selection on Escape. Can this behaviour moved out into the FSView
specific subclass of TreeMapView? And you are right with your FIXME comment:
there is a bug in clearSelection(). It should be changed to: ...

 bool TreeMapWidget::clearSelection(TreeMapItem* parent)
 {
   ...

   TreeMapItem* changed = diff(old, _selection).commonParent();
   if (changed) {
+    _tmpSelection = _selection;
     changed->redraw();
Comment 10 Simon St James 2009-10-30 19:29:27 UTC
@josef:

"Can this behaviour moved out into the FSView
specific subclass of TreeMapView?"

That's a bit tricky - I'll need protected access to TreeMapWidget's "_pressed" (or an accessor), I think.  What do you suggest?

"And you are right with your FIXME comment:
there is a bug in clearSelection()."

Ah, good to know - I'll add that in a later revision :)

> That's a bit tricky - I'll need protected access to TreeMapWidget's

Just make _pressed protected, and override keyPressEvent(), calling
TreeMapWidget::keyPressEvent() for all unhandled events.

As treemap.cpp is a copy in FSView, we do not have to care about any
kind of API compatiblity - it would be different if TreeMap is
part of kdelibs. However, I want to make sure that I can keep
treemap.cpp in FSView and KCachegrind exactly the same (also for
bug compatibility ;-)

Revised patch

Cool; that's nice and easy, then :) Updated patch attached - now with K&R(TM) bracing style!
Comment 13 Josef Weidendorfer 2009-10-31 16:26:01 UTC
Looks fine! Can you commit it to trunk?

One final remark: the only real change needed in "treemap.h"
is the move of _pressed from private to protected:
keyPressEvent() is already declared virtual in QWidget, no need
to explicitly tell this to the compiler for every subclass.

Comment 15 Josef Weidendorfer 2009-10-31 17:47:03 UTC
Ok. After trying out for real now, here are some issues:

I get
    Object::connect: No such slot FSViewPart::slotEditMimeType()
    Object::connect:  (sender name:   'editMimeType')
    Object::connect: No such slot FSViewPart::slotProperties()
    Object::connect:  (sender name:   'properties')
when running konqueror in the terminal, selecting fsview part. When
selecting an item (eg. with Ctrl+LMB), the menu items "Edit/Edit File Type"
and "Edit/Properties" are enabled but do not work.
However, the "Properties" item from the context menu *does* work. Strange.

It would be nice to adhere to the konqueror configuration
"File Management/General/Context Menu/Show Delete command".

I suppose you should ask Peter Penz about reviewing this stuff.
Anyway, thanks so far!
Comment 16 Simon St James 2009-10-31 18:06:36 UTC
@josef:

I guess it's trickier than I thought, as always ;) Thanks for the reports: I'll see if I can have a look over the next week.

Can you expand on what you mean by:

"It would be nice to adhere to the konqueror configuration
'File Management/General/Context Menu/Show Delete command'"

?

> Can you expand on what you mean by:

This is a configuration option for konqueror, when selecting
"Settings/Configure Konqueror". As the delete action is
dangerous (there is no undo), the default is to not show it in
the context menu. With above configuration, you can add it to
the context menu if you want.

I just noticed that "Delete" appears in the context menu of
the FSView part even if this option is off. The other file
management views do it right. However, even there, "Delete"
can be found in the "Edit" menu, which is wrong IMHO. Anyway,
the delete action still should always be available via its
shortcut "Shift+Delete*.
Comment 18 Ronny Standtke 2010-02-15 15:03:10 UTC
I just tested with KDE 4.4.0 ppas on Kubuntu-9.10 and there are still no file manipulation options. Reopen, please?
Comment 19 Josef Weidendorfer 2010-02-16 22:28:37 UTC
Hmm... the fsviewpart is in the extragears packages in the KDE SVN
(e.g. in trunk/extragear/base/konq-plugins/fsview), and not below
the "trunk/KDE/" directory. So I wonder whether fsview actually was
part of the KDE 4.4.0 release? Perhaps Kubuntu still uses older
version from "extragear" ?

Here on OpenSuse11.2, the KDE 4.4.0 packages from the
 KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.2
repository of the build services still has the 4.3.1 version
of the RPM package "konqueror-plugins" which contains fsview.

Can you check out the last revision from SVN
(see http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/base/konq-plugins/fsview/),
which still happens to be (apart from automatic scripty changes)
revision 1043045 from 3 months ago by sstjames, and compile this yourself?
Comment 20 Ronny Standtke 2010-03-14 14:14:59 UTC
I just tested the KDE 4.4.1 ppas on Kubuntu-9.10 and there are still no file manipulation options.

I also tried compiling fsview from the latest svn but cmake failed with the following output:

----------------------------

Any hint/help how to compile fsview myself?
Comment 21 Josef Weidendorfer 2010-03-14 20:20:58 UTC
Just a comment: when compiling from SVN, you have to run cmake from
the parent directory of fsview (trunk/extragear/base/konq-plugins).
Regarding the missing actions: currently no idea what's going on.
Last time I checked, it somehow worked, see comment #14 above :-(
Will have to recheck... (Simon?).
Comment 22 Simon St James 2010-03-14 21:36:29 UTC
@Josef: I don't know if extragear is part of the Kubuntu PPA's, so let's see if Ronny has any luck after he's compiled them :) 

@Ronny: Once you've compiled fsview, remember to call

kbuildsycoca4

If you still don't have any luck, try closing all konqueror instances (including hidden, preloaded ones) and re-try.  If you still don't have any luck, uninstall the konq-plugins that were installed with via your package manager.  If you *still* don't have any luck - then we'll have to spend some time figuring out why :)
Comment 23 Ronny Standtke 2010-03-15 13:44:03 UTC
Thank you for the hints. After checking out trunk/extragear/base/konq-plugins and executing:
$ cmake .
$ make
$ sed -i 's|CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.*|CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr|' CMakeCache.txt
$ sudo make install
$ kbuildsycoca4
$ konqueror
I have a file system view with file manipulation options.

So, whats next? Should I file a distribution specific bug report at Kubuntu?
Comment 24 Simon St James 2010-03-15 18:34:00 UTC
@Ronny:

Excellent! I'm not sure how Kubuntu's PPA system works, but it seems that the bug should be filed with whoever created the PPA you are using.
Comment 25 Ronny Standtke 2010-03-21 11:06:18 UTC
I just tested Kubuntu 10.4 Beta1 and the file manipulation options are there. So it was a bug in the 4.4.1 ppas for Kubuntu 9.10. No need to file another bug report. Closing, please? :-)
Comment 26 Simon St James 2010-03-21 12:00:24 UTC
@Ronny:

That's good news! I'm going to leave this open for now as Josef has listed some regressions in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180579#c15, but I don't know when/ if I'll have time to fix them :/

I do not get the signal/slot connection errors mentioned in comment #15 ; so is it safe to assume this issue is resolved and close this ticket ?
Comment 28 Dawit Alemayehu 2012-11-17 16:56:48 UTC
See comment #27.
Comment 29 Josef Weidendorfer 2012-11-19 12:32:49 UTC
Hm. With fsview from Kubuntu 12.10, in package konq-plugins (4:4.9.2-0ubuntu4) I still
get the same errors as in #15. But if others do not see that, this is either my configuration
or a packaging problem.

Thus, closing.

Actually, I can certainly reproduce the issues now. I dunno why I was not able to do so before ; so lets leave this open until the issue can be resolved. Would you or anyone else be able to test a patch if I provide one ?

completely untested patch to address the issues described in comment #15.
Comment 33 Josef Weidendorfer 2012-11-21 16:44:52 UTC
Looks good. The problems from #15 are fixed, and the menu items for editing the mime type and showing properties of a selected file work.

Just a minor thing:
I get a "QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null action" warning whenever I open a context menu on an item in the fsview. Not sure where this comes from.

But everything seems to work. Can you commit?

Oh I saw that too, but forgot to fix it. Will take care of it.

proposed patch v2

OK.  This is the final patch. Now the delete and move to tash menu items should work much in the same manner as they do in the Dolphinpart.  If you can, please check if deleting/move to trash work as expected from both the context (right click) as well as the Edit menus.
