According to the documentation the ownership of a QObject created by
QQmlComponent::create is transferred to the caller.
This fixes a crash on KWin tear down.

Instead of having it's own QQmlEngine TabBox just uses the newly
exposed engine from Scripting and creates a new context for it's
own usage.
REVIEW: 116565
Instead of having each declarative script create it's own qml engine
there is one hold by the Scripting singleton. The engine's root context
gets populated in Scripting and each script just gets a new child
context. Thus also the WorkspaceWrapper instance is shared between the
declarative scripts.
A declarative KWin script needs to register the QQuickWindows it is
using in the KWin object. This method ensures that the QQuickWindow
will destroy the platfrom window once it gets hidden. So the next
time the QQuickWindow is shown a new platform window is created.
As can be seen in the OSD this is not really nice, therefore a
KWin.Dialog should be created which takes care of these steps.
The DBusCall is exported as a QObject to the QML environment. It is
intended as a declarative replacement for the callDBus method which used
to be exported on global scope in the QtQuick 1 world.
Example usage:
DBusCall {
id: dbus
service: "org.kde.KWin"
path: "/KWin"
method: "setCurrentDesktop"
arguments: [1]
Component.onCompleted: dbus.call()
}
Getting all functionality from old solution into new one is not really
possible. Main problems are that QtScript provided more functionality
than the QJSEngine. For example it's no longer possible to just export
functions to the engine. We need to have a Qt wrapper object. At the
moment this wrapper object doesn't export all functions as the callbacks
are tricky. A solution might be to create specific QML types
encapsulating functionality which used to be exported on the functions.
Nevertheless a basic QML script loads and works and the ported readConfig
function works, too.
AbstractThumbnailItem inherits from QQuickPaintedItem using QPainter to
do the fallback painting of icons.
The scene is adjusted to get the information from QQuickItem instead of
QDeclarativeItem. Clipping got a little bit more complex as the clip
path does not exist any more. To get it right the ThumbnailItem needs to
specify the parent it wants to be clipped to with the clipTo property.
E.g.:
clipTo: listView
The scene uses this clipTo parent item to correctly calculate the clip
region. Also the ThumbnailItem needs to have clipping enabled.
Note: this commit currently breaks TabBox as the qml and view are not
yet adjusted. In scripting the export of the item is disabled, but any
qml script using a ThumbnailItem would obviously also fail.
Not sure why kdeclarative gets its own subdir, nor why
there is no CMake module to to add it to the include dirs
on find_package, but this matches what plasma-framework
does at the moment.
* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
Let KDeclarative::setupBindings() add the import paths: it too takes
paths from KGlobal::dirs()->findDirs("module", "imports"); it adds paths
in the correct (reverse) order [1].

When the scripting KCM triggered a loading of a script it did not work

Reparsing the configuration before evaluating which scripts to (un)load

The view is never shown or used in any way except to create the
QDeclarativeEngine. So instead of using a view as a wrapper, let's create
a QDeclarativeEngine and a Component and create the script from the
Component.
To have Plasma.Dialog working we also need to add the created script item
to a QGraphicsScene.
A new ClientModel is added which provides multiple different views on
KWin's Clients. The model is organized as a tree model supporting the
following levels:
* activities
* virtual desktops
* screens
* none
The levels can be ordered in whatever way one wants. That is the tree
structure can have an ordering of activities then virtual desktops or
the other way around.
In addition the model provides Exclusion flags to exclude clients of
certain types. E.g. it's possible to exclude all windows which are not on
the current desktop or all windows which are of type dock.
The model gets automatically updated whenever a Client is added/removed
or changes a state in a way that it should be excluded/included.
The ClientModel is not directly exported to QML. Instead there are
specific sub classes for certain common orderings. This solutions is
chosen to workaround some limitations of QML. The initial idea was to
use a property taking a list of the levels, but this doesn't work because
we are not notified when the QDeclarativeListProperty changes.
Currently the following models are provided to QML:
* ClientModel -> no restrictions
* ClientModelByScreen -> ordering by screen
* ClientModelByScreenAndDesktop -> screen, then desktop
These can be used to get all Clients:
ClientModel {
}
Or to get the classic Present Windows on current desktop:
ClientModelByScreen {
exclusions: ClientModel.OtherDesktopsExclusion | ClientModel.NotAcceptingFocusExclusion | ...
}
Or to get the classic Present Windows on all desktops:
ClientModelByScreen {
exclusions: ClientModel.NotAcceptingFocusExclusion | ...
}
Or our well known desktop grid:
ClientModelByScreenAndDesktop {
id: desktopGrid
exclusions: ClientModel.NotAcceptingFocusExclusion | ...
}
To support filtering as known by the Present Windows effect one can use
a ClientFilterModel, which is a QSortFilterProxyModel filtering on
window caption, role and class:
ClientFilterModel {
id: filterModel
clientModel: desktopGrid
filter: filterItem.text
}
In case it's a tree level obviously QML does not support this correctly.
So we need to use a VisualDataModel:
VisualDataModel {
id: clientModel
model: filterModel
Component.onCompleted: {
clientModel.rootIndex = modelIndex(0);
clientModel.rootIndex = modelIndex(0);
clientModel.delegate = thumbnailDelegate;
}
}
As we can see, the rootIndex has to be set to the level which contains
the Clients. Also it seems to be important to create the delegate after
the model index has been set. The idea is to have only one ClientModel
and multiple VisualDataModels if multiple views on the data is needed.
The model has been tested with a painful modeltest session. It looks good
so far modulo the listed limitations and that modeltest is not liking
closing Yakuake in the ClientModelByScreenAndDesktop setup, though it
works fine in real world testing.

The main difference is that the activation of an edge is no longer
broadcasted to all effects and scripts, but instead a passed in slot of
the Effect/Script is invoked.
For this the EffectsHandler API is changed to take the Effect as an
argument to (un)reserveElectricBorder. As callback slot the existing
borderActivated is used.
In addition the ScreenEdge monitors the object for beeing destroyed and
unregisters the the edge automatically. This removes the need from the
Effect to call unregister in the dtor.

A script can register a callback through registerUserActionsMenu to be
informed when the UserActionsMenu is about to be shown. This menu calls
the Scripting component to gather actions to add to a Scripts submenu.
The Scripting component now asks all scripts for the actions, which will
invoke the registered callbacks with the Client for which the menu is to
be shown as argument.
The callback is supposed to return a JSON structure describing how the
menu should look like. The returned object can either be a menu item or
a complete menu. If multiple menu items or menus are supposed to be added
by the script it should just register multiple callbacks.
The structure for an item looks like the following:
{
text: "My caption",
checkable: true,
checked: false,
triggered: function (action) {
print("The triggered action as parameter");
}
}
The structure for a complete menu looks quite similar:
{
text: "My menu caption",
items: [
{...}, {...} // items as described above
]
}
The C++ part of the script parses the returned object and generates
either QAction or QMenu from it. All objects become children of the
scripts QMenu provided by the UserActionsMenu.
Before the menu is shown again the existing menu is deleted to ensure
that no outdated values from no longer existing scripts are around. This
means the scripts are queried each time the menu is shown.

A new global method is exported to perform a remote method call
through D-Bus. The call is always performed async invoking a
callback once the call completed passing through the arguments
received from D-Bus.
Possible code looks like the following:
callDBus("org.kde.kwin", "/KWin", "org.kde.KWin", "currentDesktop", function (desktop) {
print("Current Desktop through D-Bus: ", desktop);

ScreenEdge is changed to emit a signal whenever a screen edge
got activated without an action or effect taking care of it.
A Script can reserve one to many callbacks for an edge and the
callback get's triggered whenever the signal is emitted. On
deconstruction of the Script the edge is unreserved again.

A CMake variable is used to specify the name of the binary.
By default this is "kwin" but building for PA changes the
name to "kwinactive". The variable adjusts all names, e.g.
kwinnvidiahack becomes kwinactivenvidiahack.
The remaining usage of kwinrc in core and libs is replaced
by a cmakedefine for the configuration name and all data
installations are moved to the defined name. Dynamic loading
for scripts & co is adjusted for loading based on defined name.
This change allows the side-by-side installation of both kwin
for desktop and kwin for Plasma Desktop without the known
issues like conflicts in config files or missing build options
if kwin desktop is used for Plasma Active.
Likewise the KCMs are not adjusted as they are not intended to
be used for kwinactive.

Following methods are available:
* assert(value)
* assertTrue(boolean)
* assertFalse(boolean)
* assertEquals(expected, actual)
* assertNull(nullValue)
* assertNotNull(notNullValue)
All methods take an additional optional parameter which is used
as the error message if provided.
Methods to validate the number of arguments and types of the
parameters are added and throw syntax or type errors.
