Branches, favourites handling

First of all, Lancelot development is now branched to KDE 4.1 compatible development and trunk. It needed to be done since there already are API changes in libplasma, and I want L to be in shape for 4.1 too. The 4.1 compatible code is located in /branches/work/lancelot/kde4.1-backport/. It is a bit misleading name – ‘backport’ – since the main development happens there, and then, changes are copied to the trunk. I’m updating the trunk on every major change so it still is the latest development release.

In the other news, the Favourites section works perfectly. When you start Lancelot for the first time, favourite applications will be loaded from Kickoff, or if there is no kickofrc file will be populated with default set of applications. If you want to add or remove an application from the Favourites, just right-click it. Although this looks like a trivial change, there had to be a couple of big improvements under the surface – Lancelot had no support for context menus before this :)

  1. Built lancelot from the branch, but “make install” seems to only install headers, themes, .deskop files and different .pngs. No binaries are installed at all. Do you have any idea as to what might be wrong?

  5. when I add ‘lancelot launcher’ to the desktop using ‘add widgets’, it appears as an unknown applet and doesn’t show anything. Do you know what might I have done wrong?

    Maybe you have the same problem as inful. Check whether you have the binaries installed (lib/liblancelot.so, bin/lancelot, lib/kde4/plasma_applet_lancelot_launcher.so)

    If not, I’ll check in the morning what could be wrong.

  7. I compiled L with:
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
    option, so I looked in /usr/lib and /usr/bin and I couldn’t find any of the things you mentioned above!

    thanks for considering this,
