Current status of Kickoff/KDE 4:
Bugs and missing features (indicated with a '-')
are listed in priority order for each category.
================================================
Favorites View
+ Works
- Favorites are not remembered correctly between sessions
when Kickoff is run from a Plasma applet
- Missing drag and drop of items from other views into favorites
- Missing drag and drop re-arranging of items
Applications View
+ Works.
+ When KDE 3 and KDE 4 versions of an application are available only
the KDE 4 one is shown.
- Oxygen application category icons are not shown next to categories
My Computer View
+ Works.
+ Uses Solid to query devices and respond to addition or removal of
devices
- Folders are currently opened in Konqueror. They should open in
Dolphin
Recently Used (History?) View
+ Works
- Missing a suitable icon for the tab
Leave View
+ Log-off, Shutdown and Restart work
- Sleep, Hibernate do not work
- Log-off, Shutdown and Restart show an unnecessary confirmation
dialog which gives users the Log-off/Shutdown/Restart choice again
- Missing icons for the Sleep, Shutdown, Restart actions
Search View
+ Application search by name, generic name or keywords works
- Strigi search doesn't work due to a Strigi problem which Jos' is
presently fixing
* The other search handlers that query Bookmarks,
Contacts etc. should probably be shared with KRunner. This needs
mailing list discussion.
Presentation
+ When used as a Plasma applet the Kickoff window does not
appear and disappear smoothly. (Works okay when standalone
Kickoff application is run) [Also Performance?]
- Missing the custom QTabBar styling to draw the view names
under their icons and draw a pretty gradient
- Missing the "username on computer" text
- Missing the branding logo
+ Experimented with multiple columns in the Favorites/My Computer/Recently Used/Leave
views.
Performance:
- Scrolling up and down in the application view is not as smooth
as it should be in some categories. Perhaps an issue with icons
from certain sources?
- When opening a previously unopened application category there
may be a slight delay and HDD activity causing the scrolling animation
to have few frames (the animation duration is not affected)
- Currently no delayed initialization is performed. The data required
for all tabs is loaded on startup, except the application view where
only the root branch is loaded initially.
