Projects/KMyMoney
This page is dedicated to discuss issues related to the port to KDE4.
Guidelines
As a first step, we are leaving Qt3Support, if possible. There are cases when it is best to port to the corresponding Qt4 classes. Examples of these are the QButtonGroups, KActions, KPageWidget, QTabBar
Areas to work on
Views Dialogs Widgets
Please include the areas you are working on to avoid overlapping with other developers.
Issues
Please report here the issues you find.
- Libkdchart has been commented out until last minute. Charts won't work until then
- Check for multiple instances. It was using DCOP, and it has to be migrated to a method suitable with DBus.
- There is a bug in KHTMLPart where you get weird results if you call write() many times. Save it to a QString and call write() once instead.
- Q3ButtonGroup objects should be migrated to QButtonGroup. The Q3Support class is severely handicapped and there are no issues in porting to the new class.
Areas to leave as they are for the moment
libkgpg is best left as it is for now. Thomas Baumgart plans to do an overhaul of the whole class when there is time.
libkdchart is an extract from koffice. If we find a bug there, it is best to report it to the koffice maintainers
The mymoney folder contains the engine. It is covered by the unit tests and they mostly run ok. This is a critical area of the application, so check with Thomas or Alvaro before making a change.
Of course, if you find a critical bug in any of these, let us know.
Mailing list
For now, use the regular kmymoney developers mailing list. A mailing list in kde.org has been requested.
