Sorting Icons in KDE

I am a Windows refugee thoroughly enjoying Arch.
There are a couple of things that I have not been able to resolve, even after searching the achives.
1. When I open Arch KDE Desktop, the Icons are never sorted as I left them. I have ticked the appropriate boxes in Desktop Config and in the Control Panel to no avail. Is there an equivalent to the Auto Arrange used in Windows that I am missing somehow? I have to use the 'Sort Icons/By Type' in desktop config after each boot.
OK, I KNOW I am anal about this :))
2.xhost +localhost
After each boot, I have to enter the line above into my user terminal, This results in the following:-
[pete@archbox ~]$ xhost +localhost
localhost being added to access control list
[pete@archbox ~]$ exit
This allows me to edit as root using Kate or Kwrite.
I have looked through the archives and tried many of the suggestions. Where is the 'Access Control List' Can I set the command to load automatically?
I suspect that these are pretty basic questions but we all have to learn sometime.
Regards
Pete

Hi
Thanks for the info.
I have used these commands and they bring up a mass of errors in the terminal. I have tried the solutions in the archives to no effect. A knowledgeable friend thinks it MAY have something to do with the fact that I have an esmith server for my home network and do not use DHCP.
We have looked but found nothing to support this.

Hi All,
I am new to OATS and I am trying to create script for testing ADF application using open script tool. I face issues in recording two events.

On click sorting icons lost in UI table

Hi All,
I want to implement sorting in my UI table. I followed the following steps:
1. Created a context attribute of "TableSorter" type (used TableSorter.java)
2. Created an Action "Sort" and have written the below code in its event
wdContext.currentContextElement().getTableSorter().sort(wdEvent, wdContext.<node>);
3. In wdDoModifyView have written the below code
     if(firstTime){
         IWDTable table = (IWDTable)view.getElement(<tablename>);
         wdContext.currentContextElement().setTableSorter(new TableSorter
         (table, wdThis.wdGetSortAction(), null));
4. Assigned "Sort" action (created in step 2) to the Sort Event of the table.
After deploying the code, I can see the sort icons in the column headers but after clicking on that, its not sorting the table, also the icons are lost after their click.
Not sure what I missed in this. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

hi
this may be the reason.
check once the table id you specified here.
IWDTable table = (IWDTable)view.getElement(<tablename>);

I have done an alv tree report using the class cl_gui_alv_tree
and i need to let users re-sort the report by using a sort icon(as visible in a normal alv report).Is there any possibility to create an icon and set the functionality such that the entire tree structure gets resorted depending upon the sort criteria?Please give me an example of doing so if there is an option.

if u want without classes then i can give an example of Sort Icon/option.

JTable - custom JTableHeader with UP, DOWN sorting icon

This is my code to create a custom JTableHeader.
class MyHeaderRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
public MyHeaderRenderer() {
setIcon(new ImageIcon("1.png"));
setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
RowSorter<TableModel> sorter = new TableRowSorter<TableModel> (tableModel);
table.setRowSorter (sorter);
table.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setHeaderRenderer(new MyHeaderRenderer());After setting a custom header renderer, the default UP and DOWN sort image
is not displaying in the table header. How can I show those images.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ashish,
In Table properties once you map any method to onSort event, the sort icons will appear automatically. But in your case its not working. I suggest you check the portal theme you are using.
If you manage to get the icon deom some where
To set the icon go to Theme Editor >Complex Elements>Tables--> Under Sort Icons you can browse for the icons and set it.
Where you can find the icon ?
Under Theme Editor --> Theme Transport --> Under Export theme. You can download your theme from here, unzip and look for the icon under "YourThemeFolder\ur.zip\common\tableview"
Please try this if you are unble to find the icon, let me know

Showing sort icons without applying sort to the collection in AdvancedDataGrid

Hi All,
We have a scenario in our application where all the sorting has to be handled by the web services and the client just needs to show the sorted data in an Advanced Data Grid.
The web services though returns details for the column on which it is being sorted and also the sort order i.e. ASC or DESC. So based on the same we need to simply show a ASC or DESC icon on the specified column header.
We tried different options, but it seems the sort icons only show up when sorting is actually applied to the collection. But since the sorting is to be dealt with from the web services, it is not possible to apply sorting on the client side as it may result is differentiating data.
So, can anyone please suggest a solution for this.
Thanks,
Eshaan

Af:table column sort icon does not appear

Hi,
if I use the declarative way to handle column sorting the tablecolumn gets a icon which indicates sorting.
For one column I have to set the sorting programmatically by using CoreTable's setSortCriteria method .
In this case the sort icon doesn't appear!? Is that right?
regards, Florian

thanks Frank!
It's not a question of enable/disable the sorting feature of the table column.
It's about the requirement to sort the column like in this sql statement:
select c1 || c2 || c3 as c123
from myTable
order by c1, c2, c3 asc;
The column is sortable by default (column data is concatenated like in c123).
I use following code in the SortListenerMethod to enable the sorting for the requirement above:
CoreTable ct = this.getMyTable();
List<SortCriterion> critlist = new ArrayList<SortCriterion>();
boolean sortOrderAsc = true;
critlist.add(new SortCriterion("c1", sortOrderAsc));
critlist.add(new SortCriterion("c2", sortOrderAsc));
critlist.add(new SortCriterion("c3", sortOrderAsc));
ct.setSortCriteria(critlist);
using this always prevent the sortIcon from showing.
On the other hand my sortIcon comes up using the declarative way.
Or is there a way to accomplish the sorting above by using other ways?

Replace blue launch icon in kde 4.1[SOLVED]

I'm not a fan of blue - does anyone know where the icon resides for the start button in kde4? I've tried under the oxygen icons to replace the kde.png, but that didn't work. It must be lurking somewhere else?
thanks.

Hi,
Running latest KDEmod using archlinux-oxygen icon theme with latest kde-Oxygen-svn icon theme, my start menu icon changed from to this image : and have no idea from where it comes from, as in /usr/share/icons/archlinux-kde and /usr/share/icons/oxygen, the stat-here-kde.png icons are like this :
How can I make the KDE start menu use again this icon ??

[Solved]Remove button icons in KDE applications when running under dwm

I run dwm but also use KDE applications.
KDE applications do show icons on dialog buttons:
I gather that these buttons can be disabled in the system settings dialog when running a full KDE desktop. My question is: How do I achieve this - remove the icons on buttons - while not running a full KDE session?
kcmshell4 doesn't seem to expose an option to do so in any available module, including 'kcmshell4 icons'.
The systemsettings5 option repertoire is incomplete and only has the modules "Workspace>Desktop behaviour", "Workspace>Shortcuts", "Network>Settings" and "Network>Connectivity".
In my .xsession, I am currently exporting
export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk # Make Qt5 use the GTK+ theme
export DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome # For something I can't quite remember
I've also seen XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome vs XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde floating around, but neither achieves anything in this regard.
Does anybody know which setting in which config file I could set to emulate what the KDE configuration GUI does in a KDE session, or what KDE packages I would have to install in order to add the correct settings component to my KDE configuration utilities (KDE4 and/or Plasma 5), or what environment variable to set? A last resort would be installing a full KDE workspace or Plasma 5 and toggling the setting there, but I'd rather avoid doing that.

Would running "kcmshell5 style", or "kcmshell4 style" be an option? Am not sure what you have installed, but under fine tuning tab there, there's exactly what you need.
Edit: if that doesn't work, .config/kdeglobals
ShowIconsInMenuItems=true
ShowIconsOnPushButtons=true
ToolButtonStyle=TextBesideIcon
ToolButtonStyleOtherToolbars=TextBesideIcon
Change to false and TextOnly, respectively
Might have to look for another kdeglobals file for kde4 apps, which should be either in .kde4 or in home dir, since there's a bit of a mess currently during transition
Please excuse my belated reply; thank you for the solution:
The line
ShowIconsOnPushButtons=false
in kdeglobals removed the icons for KDE 4 applications. For some reason, applications using KDE Frameworks 5.x did never show the button icons to begin with.

'sort' icon in the header of table column

Hi everybody,
I am using table UI element in WD ABAP. Table columns can be sorted and the method fro event 'onSort' is defined.
On each table column header a tool tip with icons ▲▼ appears when the cursor is moved over the right side of the column header.
Is it possible to make this icon appear on the right of each column header permanently?
Thank you for your help,
Helen

Hi Jörg,
We are using IE6 or IE7. And nothing appears. ONSort action exists and defined.
May be I will create internal message for ABAP WD.
Kind regards,
Helen

[SOLVED] Huge tray icons in KDE

Until the other day, my tray icons looked like this (good): http://i.imgur.com/o0v5hVd.png
Now, it looks like this (bad): http://i.imgur.com/FD77IWF.png
I tried downgrading some kde packages, but couldn't find the one responsible for the change.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug or a feature? Can I fix it?
Last edited by z0id (2014-02-08 15:06:50)

It's a "feature":
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-workspac … 2e883f0af4
You can fix it by reverting the changes in /usr/share/apps/plasma/packages/org.kde.systemtray/contents/ui/main.qml yourself. It's javascript, so there's no need to recompile.

Tango svg icons in KDE not correct

How do i fix this. I use the Tango icon set (in kde 3.5.3) because the icons are easy to recognize, especially at 16x16.
if you look at this:
[URL=http://img121.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tangoinkde7wy.png][/URL]
i enlarged the icons for the purpose of this post. In the screenshot, the window below konqueror is Thunar (a gtk2 app). In konqueror and the rest of kde, svg Tango icons are rendered incorectly, it seems with only a limited color palette. If you notice the gradients and shadows are abrupt, not smooth. But in gtk2 apps tango looks fine.
(although at the small sizes tango icons look fine in kde because they're in PNG format).
ps. im using the tango package in the repos.

Galdona wrote:but it does not refer to any errors in SVG rendering, which is what I am experiencing (on two computers).
ah ok, I had the same problem as well and just started using the sparkling iconset instead. For the number of times I use kde apps it's not to bad.
