Maybe I should add a new topic like “Playground” for things like this
Not releasing Angelfish (webbrowser for Plasma) because of too many crashes and needed patches out of my skills.
Aside from that (packaging is only 1.72MiB!) when getting passed the crashes (app doesn’t crash, something in qtwebengine?) it works pretty fine, watching youtube movies fullscreen, visiting and posting on FB smoothly, even gitlab shows correctly.
Some output from Terminal (needs dbus-launch to be exported first):
/Opslag/wip/qtfeedback-kf5> angelfish

file:///boot/system/data/Qt5/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/AbstractApplicationWindow.qml:276:5: QML Binding: Not restoring previous value because restoreMode has not been set.
This behavior is deprecated.
You have to import QtQml 2.15 after any QtQuick imports and set
the restoreMode of the binding to fix this warning.
In Qt < 6.0 the default is Binding.RestoreBinding.
In Qt >= 6.0 the default is Binding.RestoreBindingOrValue.

@Begasus QTWebEngine is buggy on Haiku at the moment, it has random crashes and no one was able to debug it, mostly due to the effort of compiling it and experimenting. It’s also not a simple codebase.
I was trying to build QTWebEngine6 hoping that it did work better, but it’s not straightforward, even the build scripts have to be adjusted before you can even start compiling it. I’m still trying to get the 3rd party parts to compile.
So far only one in the KDE frameworks not building yet is “plasma”, seems to rely on KX11_extras(?) (not in Haiku atm).
Also a more recent version for Angelfish is able to close open tabs (didn’t show in previous version), but the icons are still not shown, latest FileLight doesn’t show icons or text, while all current apps still work and show everything fine (even latest version for KMahjongg works fine).
Drawterm was added to the depot a few weeks ago. I was able to connect to a file server as well as edit local files with acme. Thanks to @zeldakatze for the recipe.
Likely it’ll need a Haiku-specific audio backend (unless it supports some common library we already have.)
Mouse cursors being rendered wrongly is a more-or-less known Xlibe problem related to decoding of X11 bitmaps/pixmaps. I should probably try and fix that again, as it affects basically all applications that use custom cursors.
Anyway, if Drawterm works, then plan9port could probably be brought over as well. I guess nobody’s been interested enough to do that yet?
The Commander X16 is The 8-Bit Guy’s dream computer, designed to evoke the same fondness and nostalgia many of us had for 8-Bit computers, while retaining closeness to the hardware from a programming perspective, unlike the Raspberry Pi and others. But more than that, it is intended not only as an educational tool but to solve some of the issues of finding an 8-Bit system to tinker with today; namely ever-increasing costs, auction site price gouging/sniping, lack of replacement parts, and unreliability of 30-year old hardware.
The drawterm port was just a pretty quick port, and even under Linux, the sound system is hard to use at best, as it requires some weird sound system out of the box iirc
If you can, help out with adding/updating translations at Polyglot for a possible future v0.4.1. Other than that, I have no plans to develop the app further for now. Others might though, of course…
Quick note: I’ve just done the Brazilian Portuguese translation and there is no direct translation to the word ‘diff’, so I used ‘compare’ instead. If you prefer the word diff, I could update the strings into something equivalent to ‘perform a diff’.
Using a native word for “Diff” is an excellent idea, I think, and was done for several languages. After all, many of PonpokoDiff’s users may not be familiar with the CLI tool “diff”.
Just everyone thinking about doing the same: keep it short, because it’s a button label.
Thanks for your translation! I’ll give it some time before doing a v0.4.1 to see if more translations trickle in or anyone spots a bug…
While playing around with it here, I think it is time to give it to the public, KMyMoney, not sure everything is working as expected, but while doing some basic actions it looks nice for a personal finance manager.
Now in the depot (64bit only).
