No management is allowed on remote jobs (yet?). + +10/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * general: use KShellProcess::quote() for any quoting. Normally, + all quoting problem should be fixed now. + +12/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * CUPS: redesigned the "cups-add-smb" dialog to make it more + user-driendly. + +13/11/2001 Michael GOffioul + * general: implementation of a KActiveLabel class to embed active + links in labels. Clicking on it "exec" the associated URL. + * general: make use of KActiveLabel in the first page of the + "add-printer" wizard. + * CUPS: make use of KActiveLabel in the "cups-add-smb" wizard. + * wizard: SMB printers with space in their name are now shown + correctly when scanning the network (however it should be + avoided as smbspool seems to be unable to handle it). + +14/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * ioslave: uploaded new templates from Chris (which adds support + for pseudo printers + * manager: modified RootOnly message for better consistency between + "root" and "administrator" concepts + * print dialog: updated accels (general, Qt, copies and other CUPS + pages) + * print dialog: + . file selection: line edit -> listview + . file selection made as print dialog page and inserted at + the same level than "Copies" + . added hiding mechanism to make the dialog more compact + (show/hide button can probably be improved) + +15/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * CUPS: drivers are now downloaded from the actual server for remote + printers. This allows to have access to all options set for any + printer (even remote ones). However remote printer's drivers are + kept read-only. + +16/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * print dialog: instances are now presented in a tree structure in + the combo box -> cleaner view. + * general: ported the use of a global instance file to 2.2 branch + (file is /etc/cups/lpoptions). + * CUPS: added support for Adobe PPD file compliance (foomatic will + introduce them very soon in normal distributions), where numerical + options are mapped into enum options. KDEPrint still uses the + numerical option and update the corresponding enum one with the + closest value. + +21/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * job viewer: clicking on 'x' button only hide the job viewer but + doesn't quit the app. To quit, either use menu item (from window + or system tray) or accel when job viewer is visible. + * general: print preview has been embedded in a real dialog, so that + it is always centered on its parent now. It also have the dialog + buttons in title bar (no minimize). + +23/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * job management: the job management has been re-engineered to follow + the paradigm "1 window == 1 queue". There's still the possibility to + view jobs for all printers within a single window. This should enhance + the usability of job management tools (I hope). + +26/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * job management: job type (active/completed) is now handled on a + printer basis instead of a global property of the manager. This allows + different windows to show different job type, and also ease the + management of "All Printers" windows. + * job management: sorting jobs on numerical values is fixed (ID, + size, ...) + * job management: added the possibility to customize (from the plugin) + what's shown as job attributes. New attributes can be added. This + will be used for priority support in CUPS plugin. + * job management: re-engineered how dynamic plugin actions are handled + internally to fix problems when dealing with several windows opened. + This new mechanism should also be applied to print management dynamic + actions (more consistent). + +28/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * special printers: added the possibility to have configurable options + in pseudo-printers. Options are described in an additional XML file + (like filters) and configured through an "Advanced" tab in the property + dialog. TODO: graphical configuration widget + apply KXmlCommand to + normal filters. + +29/11/2001 Michael Goffioul + * general: fixed sorting of options in driver view. They should be shown + in order of appearance now. + * general: make use of the new KXmlCommand class for filters too. + * filters: removed the "Page Size" from the options of enscript filter, + this is taken from the KPrinter object now. + +04/12/2001 Michael Goffioul + * general: finalized the new XML command mechanism: + . graphical command builder + . pseudo-printers and filters are completely based on new XML + object, though old style is supported (only requirements from + previous mechanism are not used). + . KPrintFilter and KMFilterManager are now obsolete and replaced + by KXmlCommand and KXmlCommandManager respectively. + * kdeprintfax: made the log window a "real" log window. It is dynamically + refreshed on new debug output arrival (suggested by user). + +10/12/2001 Michael Goffioul + * general: make use of "Detail" mechanism of KDialogBase in XML command + editor. + +11/12/2001 Michael Goffioul + * instances: for root, instances are saved in global file + /etc/cups/lpoptions. This allows to easily create global instances + (just be root and create the instance). + * pseudo-printers: for root, pseudo printers are saved in a global + file, such that root is able to manage global pseudo printers. Locale + pseudo printers still override global ones if they have the same name. + +12/12/2001 Michael Goffioul + * general: added error messages when the printer list cannot be retrieved + in print manager and print dialog. With CUPS, if the server is not + running, an error message is shown to the user. + * CUPS: disabled all backends if no server is running. + +13/12/2001 Michael Goffioul + * general: preleminary support for external printer tool. Only escputil + at this moment. + +03/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: + . added a "ID name" label to the first dialog for command editing + . put "View Printer Infos" in front of orientation and view type + change (more logical) + . added a confirmation dialog before sending a test page to a + printer (printer and instance test) + . added a short summary below the command selector containing the + ID and the output type ("not allowed" if no output supported). + . added a WhatsThis help to the "Instances" tab briefly explaining + what's an instance. + +09/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: when filtering, the file type is checked against supported + formats. If the format is not supported, a warning is issued and the + user has the possibility to auto-convert the file to a supported + format. Consequence: you can now safely perform page selection on any + file type with any printer and any spooler, kdeprint will try to convert + the file to PS. + * preview dialog: rewrote the code in a cleaner way, avoiding the use + of a non toplevel main window. Preview dialog looks simpler now. New + issue: toolbuttons overlap the toolbar border (only for toolbar not + children of main window). + * general: made the "Files" page a standard page in KPrinter. Modified + kprinter's code to add that page -> will be easier to remove it when + implementing a "--stdin" option. + * kprinter: + . added a "--stdin" option. If this option is set, only printing + from stdin is allowed and the "Files" tab is hidden. Can be used in + Netscape. If files are given on the command line, this option is + forced unset. + . added a "--nodialog" option for quick print. + . added the persistent feature (with some code rewrite in kdeprint + library) + +10/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: added (temporary) workaround for drawing problems in fixed + toolbars, until a real fix gets implemented: + static_cast(tb)->layout()->setMargin(1); + * general: started to used new icons provided by Bogdan, for the toolbar + * general: added KPrinter::autoConfigure(), to automatically configure + a KPrinter object without the need for a print dialog. + +14/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * slave: made case-insensitive for backward compatibility (old URLs may + come from history). Now print:/Classes should work OK. + * CUPS: moved the IPP report to an separate dialog and added the + possibility to print the result. + +15/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * started the implementation of a new LPR/LPRng plugin: this implementation + is designed to be modular to provide support for various systems like + Foomatic, APSFilter, GNUlpr or Printtool(RH). + +17/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * LPR: first implementation of a job manager. Make use of asynchronous + lpc and lpq processes. Major problem: delay between new state and + screen update due to the fact that data are started to be updated when + the info is needed for showing. As data are retrieved asynchronously, + they are not available for the update. + * general: clean up refresh code of the job viewer + * KPrinter: added the DocFileName feature (suggested by David) to define + the default basename for output file. + * test: updated to Qt3 and demonstrate the use of the DocFileName feature + +21/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * LPR: added basic implementation of a KPrinterImpl object -> plugin is + functional (though far from complete...) + +22/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * kdeprintfax: make use of new address book (libkabc) instead of the old + one (libkab). + +29/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * LPR: enhancement of the APSFilter handler. Still missing: setup the + options in the print command line + * wizard: removed the garbage '&' in last page + * general: added SMB util functions -> to be used whenever it's + possible (CUPS plugin, Foomatic handler => TO BE DONE) + +30/01/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: use QGuardedPtr to keep KPrinterImpl object in KPrinter, this + should avoid some crashes. + * LPR: + . added print options for APSFilter handler + . make use of smb-url conversion functions in Foomatic handler + . fix problem with rmote lpd queues: force lp= in + printcap entry + +07/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * job viewer: fix crash when switching the print plugin elsewhere and + there's some jobs shown + fix refresh problem when switching plugin + * general: fix small bug when removing a filter in "Filters" page + * general: discard the toolbar use in the "Instances" page to avoid the + problem with non-docked vertical toolbars. Use plain QPushButton + instead, but this has some drawing problems in HighColor style. + +11/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * LPR: added support for LPRngTool+IFHP (not complete yet though) + * general: various fixes for crashes, inconsistencies, ... + +12/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * kdeprintfax: added %email to possible command tags. The e-mail address + is retrieved from standard settings in KControl module. The tag can + also be used in the "Name" field of the options dialog + * LPR: completion of the LPRngTool handler + implementation of dynamic + driver directories (to be done: should also be configurable in the + options dialog) + * general: Fixed bug -> XML commands couild not be saved + * CUPS: FontPath directive is now considered as a string list, multiple + directives are supported and a listview is used in the GUI + * CUPS: configuration tool now handles gracefully unrecognized options, + a warning is issued, and they are restored as-is on file saving. + +13/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * CUPS: added support for job-billing and page-label, and put them + along with the scredule option into a single "Advanced" tab. + * CUPS: added job billing info to the job viewer + * CUPS: added job priority selection in the Advanced tab of the print + dialog + * general: allow multi selection in the file list of print dialog + +14/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * CUPS: added the possibility to edit job attributes on-the-fly using + a dialog similar to the printer properties dialog. Still the be fixed: + page ranges (problem with option encoding in CUPS). + +15/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: fixed infinite recursion bug in KIconSelectAction + * CUPS: temporarily disabled edition of page-ranges as it seems CUPS is + buggy. I should find a workaround. + * general (CUPS): enable some actions for jobs on remote hosts. It seems + to work OK between my local LM-8.1 and a remote LM-7.2. + +16/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * CUPS: added direct Foomatic driver support (no need the all PPD package + from foomatic anymore, driver are loaded directly from Foomatic) + +17/02/2002 Michael GOffioul + * preview: + . better algorithm to find a preview object + . more comprehensive error report + . possibility to cancel printing even with external PS viewers + * general: added the backend stuff for printer filtering, needs GUI + -> allows to only show a selected set of printers + +18/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: simple printer filtering mechanism based on printer name + and location regexp. Graphical configuration for printer name. + +19/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: + . completion of the printer filtering mechanism (added location + string filter) + . notification system between applications when config file has + changed + . possibility to open the main option dialog from print dialog + (for example to change the filter or default preview program) + . added icon on push buttons when useful + . changed plugin names to kdeprint_* (stripped the leading "lib") + +20/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * slave: prevent konqueror to consider a trailing slash as a directory + specification (simply add a config entry in protocol file) + * general: large UI standardization by making use of KDialogBase along + with KGuiItem + * kicker menu: possibility to open main Options Dialog from the menu + +21/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: splitted the printer state into enable/disable and start/stop + and modified the GUI to reflect this + * general: removed the KMManager::configure(), obsoleted by the complete + options dialog being shown + * kicker extension: extension of the menu plugin to allow access to the + server configuration tool as well as the "kprinter" utility. + +25/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * LPR: added printer testing support + +26/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: printer filtering specs are now ORed instead of ANDed + * general: changed "Advanced" to "Driver Settings" + * CUPS: fixed RIPCache problem, added support for possible suffixes + +27/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * CUPS: workaround to allow special characters in login/password without + breaking security. Possible now to use safely chars like '@' and '/' + in login. + * general: added a check box in the config dialog to enable/disable + font embedding into PS data (compatible with Qt settings). + +28/02/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: job viewer updated correctly on plugin reload -> additional + columns and "history" action state + * general: internal *Settings objects are synchonized on config changes + (CupsInfos and LprSettings) + * general: improved feedback to user when creating driver DB + * CUPS: speed optimization when creating driver DB (simple hack to avoid + to parse the entire PPD file each time => much better) + * kdeprintfax: added "-n" and "-f %email" by default for the Hylafax + system + * general: various small UI improvements (suggested by Thomas) + +02/03/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: modified the driver structure to support dynamic options + as in SuSE + * LPR: more management support for SuSE handler -> drver settings can + be modified now. + * general: needed stuff to provide translations for filters (Coolo will + now extract the strings from XML files for translators) + +10/03/2002 Michael Goffioul + * CUPS: allow any integer value for RIPCache + don't upload the cupsd.conf + with wrong settings + +***************** +* KDE-3 RELEASE * +***************** + +(CeBIT) Michael Goffioul + * Fix various crashes: + . when changing the CUPS server (notify registered object before + reloading) + . when building the driver DB: don't destroy the progress dlg + * job viewer: possibility to view only the jobs of the current user + * CUPS: "dynamic" changing of the text margins in the preview using + rubber bands + * general: started generealization of a margin widget to configure the + margins of the KPrinter object + +25/03/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: do not use pointers in various views, to avoid dangling + pointers (and crashes) when changing something (plugin, config file, ...). + This makes the aboutToReload functions quite useless, but it has to + be tested. + * general: finished the generic print margins widget to be used in non + full page mode. Requires a patched Qt (hope TrollTech will add the + missing setMargins soon) -> cannot be committed. + * general: added help button to the wizard and the print dialog. They + are connected to the main help (should probably add an anchor to go + directly to the associated part). + * kdeprintfax: more support/sync with standard addressbook: + . possibility to start the ab editor from kdeprintfax + . make use of the "Organization" field as enterprise + . fix problem with empty phone number (ex: no business fax). + +26/03/2002 Michael Goffioul + * kdeprintfax: + . added support for Mgetty-sendfax + . added support for page size in filters + . make use of the localized page size as default + . regrouped the options in the option dialog for more + consistency + . added support for scheduling in HylaFax and Mgetty-sendfax + . bugfix in logview: behaves safely when closed using the title + bar button + +27/03/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: created a separate "Fonts" section in the KDEPrint settings + dialog and removed the "Embed Fonts" option from the general section + (moved to the new section). + * kdeprintfax: fixed disabled background for "Comment" widget, use QBrush + instead of QColor.

Configurable in the options dialog. Now, I + should probably re-add the "Set as default" button. + * print dialog: re-added the "Set as default" button in the case the + user default printer is used on first print instead of the last used + printer (it does make sense again to have it) + * general: added a small (but useful) information string about the + current plugin below the plugin combobox (ex: in CUPS, shows the current + server:port). + +02/04/2002 Michael Goffioul + * general: + . fixed various conflicting shortcuts + . made KMVirtualManager inherit from KPReloadObject to force instance + reloading when something has changed + * print dialog: added buttons to move files up and down + * CUPS: added a generic job tagging mechanism in the form of an additional + tab in the print dialog.
