15 minutes of fame screencast

I recorded a quick screencast today about some 4.6 (and one 4.5.2) things. It ended up being exactly 15:00 minutes long, though that was more accidental than intentional. It covers:


  • Folder on-hover popup lives again!

  • Plasma KPart, being used by Kontact, Skrooge and KDevelop

  • Javascript Addons, aka "plugins written in Javascript for plugins written in Javascript"

  • Using desktop scripting template packages as Javascript libraries





It's may not be the most sexy of stuff, but they are the kinds of things I get to work on. ;) Fortunately, I enjoy doing so.

We're still very early on in the 4.6 cycle and there are a lot of other things in the works which aren't screencastable currently, but as they mature I'm sure one of us Plasmaters will produce some more screen grabbing fun.

Nice improvements. keep up the great work!
why is your pointer changing from oxygen white to black inside the kparts? is it a bug or a feature.

...watching now. Looks good - props to those who implemented these features. That reminds me, though, Aaron... how's that /other/ video going? :P

Just curious, why that button (the one only opens the view for the folder) doesn't toggle the visibility of that view?
