odie__is there a good util for switching windows from the command line or script in kde4?00:00
Hudsonkembprompt akonadi is using it? whats akonadi do?00:02
bpromptHudsonkem:     kaddressbook, kwallet, kontac, korganizer, pretty much the PIM apps information database service00:03
Hudsonkemhm.. got it, thx00:04
Hudsonkemwhy when google chrome call dolphin open/salve dialog its appear without color scheme?00:08
bpromptwell00:08
bpromptHudsonkem:     the app uses some "file dialog" subroutine, is not really Dolphin's or have to be KDE's or QT's either, in this case, google chrome, as well as otrher browsers like firefox, use GTK dialog00:09
bpromptso, is up to the app, whatever file dialog it will use, no up to the window manager or the desktop manager00:10
Hudsonkemhm.. got it00:12
Hudsonkemso, no fix :V00:12
odie__is there a scriptable program for switching windows in kde4?00:12
odie__like something I can put as part of a shell script or program00:12
bpromptodie__:   no need for that, alt-tab =)00:13
odie__I need it as part of the state for a script00:13
odie__i need to switch to a window, focus on it, and pipe a command to it00:14
bpromptHudsonkem:    what you can do is, change the GTK theme to something you'd like instead, or some gtk theme that resembles whatever theme you're using in kwin :), and you can do that in System Settings > appearance > gtk appearance00:15
mparillobprompt: It seems to me that if I install rekonq first, google-chrome uses kdialog. If I do not install rekonq at all, google-chrome uses something else.00:16
bprompthmmm00:17
bpromptmparillo:   I'm thinking it uses gtk theme all along, BUT, you can change what gtk theme to use in a kwin session, through System Settings > Appearance00:18
bpromptmparillo:    or may just ba a system kde/qt variable that's being set, that chrome uses, bearing in mind that other app use as well, like Adobe reader or firefox00:19
mparilloAlas firefox has its own strange file dialog.00:21
odie__does plasma have a console api?00:23
bpromptodie__:    think so, from what I recall, you can use Krunner to run kde dialogs, not sure if that comprises plasma00:24
bprompt!krunner00:24
bpromptwoops00:25
bprompt!find krunner00:25
ubottuFound: W:, W:, W:, W:, W:, W:, W:, W:, W:, W: (and 1 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=krunner&searchon=names&suite=wily&section=all00:25
bpromptodie__:    but if you install KDevelop suite, I think it has a few kde api samplers00:26
Unit193!find krunner00:26
ubottuPackage/file krunner does not exist in wily00:26
odie__is there a wiki for the kwin/plasma shell scripting apis00:26
mparilloThis might be how the kdialog is invoked under the covers? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=19055600:26
odie__i see functionality scattered about is there a wiki for objects00:26
mparilloAnd I experience this bug related to kdialog on Chrome and Chromium: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32365000:27
ubottuKDE bug 323650 in general "KDialog incredibly slow to respond" [Normal,Unconfirmed]00:27

est31there is lots of stuff happening in kubuntu land right now19:47
lordievadersuncokret: That depends, do you want the newest of the newest. Or do you want (rock)stable?19:47

lordievaderIn terms of releases it is.19:48
est31in terms of ubuntu releases, yes19:48
