--reduce workarounds for tasks previews and simplify
the previews model case. Now all previews, both single
window and group are using the same delegate in
order to be drawn
--in the past in order for previews to be valid
we had to hide and reshow previews after each
current task changing. As it appears this might
not be needed any more, let's try to disable it.
--update previews immediately after first task with
preview is shown. All the rest tasks showing previews
should trigger their previews showing immediately.
Only the first task when previews are not shown
must trigger the delayer
--provide an option for previews to work as a
popup window[new] or as tooltip[classic]
--multiple fixes to show/hide previews based on
user preferences from left click and hovering
a task
--move the active window line as the last item
of Preview column in order to be always drawn and
never overlap with previews or previous items
--when parabolic zoomfactor===1 a rare case
was that some tasks were appearing pixelated.
By disabling the Tasks Icons mathimatical roundness
this looks fixed.
--finally after two years I found why there was a glitch
when the parabolic effect was hovering from Task into
an applet and vice versa. Tasks were rounding their
size before exposing it to container. Now this is fixed.
--Drag a task animation is now improved to be a little
more responsive and to inform also its mask requirements
to animations
--AppletItem::clip was introduced in order to
avoid circumstances that applets exceed their limits
and as such still events from surrounding applets.
Because of that change applets should now apply
their layout properties as valid all the time
--use a single slot when View triggers its workarounds
for the kwin issue that kwin hides panels when an activity
stops. In such case the view shadows are also redrawn.
--during scrolled tasks the scrolllable list
now is autoscrolled properly when the user
is repositioning launchers through dragging
or when dragging external files over tasks
and launchers
--a new implementation is needed which is going
to be simpler and lighter. Removing the current
implementation, parabolic effect works just fine
without issues and feels more responsive.
--the new implementation relies on items in order to
forward scale signals properly to their neighbours. So
parabolic effect does not have to know separators and
hidden items any more. As it appears it is lighter
also and more responsive. This is a very important
milestone for the parabolic effect.
--various improvements/fixes for previews and highlight
windows in new plasmoid architecture. All tasks settings
are now stored in applet level and not in containment
level
BUG:420692
--an better plural naming was chosen in order for
for consumers to distiguish abilities purpose. Abilities
are designed to be use by multiple applets and
containers
--improve types and references and add types splitted
at better places. So now we have
- LatteCore.Types that are global for all components
- LatteTasks.Types that are private to tasks plasmoid
- LatteContainment.Types that are private to latte
containment
--introduce AppletAbilities qml library which is going
to be available to all applets to use it freely. In the stage
all components will be qml-only but in the future when
any of the components have been stabilized for their
apis then many of them could gain c++ implementation
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types
BUG:420210
--First steps in order to support mulitple Tasks
applets in the same dock and panel.
--Step1: migrate values from Containment to Task
applet.
--Step2: deprecate Task applet options that are
found in containment
--Step3: provide multiple dynamic Tasks tabs in
settings
--update implementation to use "root.location"
instead of root.position
--update implementation to use "root.alignment"
instead of root.userPanelPosition
--plasma durations can mess up the Latte animations
experience a lot. We now use our own set animations
durations which are independent of what the user
chose for plasma animations speed.
