Description: This is a Katapult fork based on the KDE SVN repository. It fixes several outstanding issues of upstream Katapult. Unfortunately, Katapult development stagnated and no progress has been made upstream for half a year. I recently got a response from the project manager of katapult. If you don't think I should hand the changes over upstream, send me a suggestion for a name or else we'll see what we can do to incorporate my changes back into the original katapult.
Improvements over last stable Katapult release: * Support for multiple results (Press up or down keys to see more results) * Support for multiple actions (Press left or right keys to see more actions) * Adaptive search * Threaded architecture * Non-blocking DCOP calls
Kudos to the team for providing the framework for multiple results, multiple actions, and multithreaded catalogs.
Caveats: * Currently, only the program and bookmark catalogs actually return more than one result at a time. * Only the program catalog supports adaptive search. * Only the amarok catalog has multiple actions.
What this means for YOU: * The amarok catalog should not slow down Katapult if you have a big collection of songs. * The amarok catalog can now queue songs and add songs to the current playlist * The program catalog will adapt to your launching preferences (i.e. no more "Konquest" results when all you want is "Konqueror") * You no longer have to type more letters (press the down key to choose something else)
What is still lacking: * Testing. Especially for the amarok catalog. I only have a couple of GB worth of songs so I can't speak for everyone but this should be an improvement over the last release. * Spell catalog. I've tried everything to get KSpell to play nice with separate threads (i.e. call KSpell in the main thread, block the worker thread till KSpell is done, then pass the result to the worker thread) but it just won't work. * Localization. I need translations. You could of course just ./configure the katapult-0.3.2 sources and make install inside only the po directory.
INSTALLATION: Read the INSTALL file included. For the impatient, it is now CMake based. So either create a build directory or run [quote]cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -DREALTRANSPARENCY=1 .[/quote] within the source directory.
To avoid crashes due to missing display plug-ins or catalogs, make sure the prefix you use is the same as kde-config --prefix or kde3-config --prefix (not sure about that though) for Kubuntu users.
The command should look something like cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DREALTRANSPARENCY=1 .
using backticks (i.e. `kde-config --prefix`) instead of $KDEDIR might do the trick.
Then make and install as root.
Simply remove the -DREALTRANSPARENCY=1 switch to disable composite support.
USAGE Real transparency: Run a compositing window manager such as compiz before launching katapult-fast track. If you switch from KWin to compiz/beryl while Katapult-Fast Track is running, you have to restart Katapult-Fast Track for real transparency to work. Likewise, shifting to KWin from compiz/beryl requires restarting the program.
Amarok catalog: Amarok must be running first.
Google and exec catalogs: Type the keyword (either "google" or "exec" without the quotation marks using the defaults) before entering your query.
For any problems, either leave something here or post something at the Katapult forums. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Please include how to reproduce your problems.Last changelog:
--------------- 0.1.2 - Add real transparency support - Enable google and exec catalogs - Theoretically fix a possible crash for duplicate programs - Switch to CMake
0.1.1 - Fix crashes due to o2 display plug-in - Add myself to the authors list
Hi,
I run (on kubuntu 8.04)
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde-config --prefix) -DREALTRANSPARENCY=1
and everything goes fine.
Bu when than I run
make
I get the following error (at about 60%):
Linking CXX shared module katapult_kimproxycatalog.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkaddressbook
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [katapult/plugins/catalogs/kimproxycatalog/katapult_kimproxycatalog.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** [katapult/plugins/catalogs/kimproxycatalog/CMakeFiles/katapult_kimproxycatalog.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Any help?
Thanks.
1) what is the output of "kde-config --prefix"?
2) does it successfully link any other Katapult catalog, against any other KDE library, or does it actually fail on the 1st attempt to perform any such link?
Hi here are the answers:
1) kde-config: /opt/mono-1.9/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3)
/usr
2) I don't really understand what you mean... :( . The cmake command works fine, when then I run make, this is the full output:

For some reason, Katapult-fasttrack is not finding my KDE libraries. This is on Ubuntu 7.04. Any chance of a .deb package? Thanks!

Have you tried `kde-config --prefix` (with backticks) instead of
$KDEDIR, which is undefined in my Kubuntu 7.10?
It would result in this command:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde-config --prefix` -DREALTRANSPARENCY=1
or, alternatively:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde-config --prefix) -DREALTRANSPARENCY=1
Hello,
I have some problems with katapult. When it is running and I press alt+space nothing happens also when I try to access configuration panel from the tray icon it crush my kde-config --prefix is /usr
the found errors are:

What is it? Would love to test Katapult :)
could you add the feature to open urls, like the quistarter applet for kicker can?
for example typing htttp://dot.kde.org would open the page, while man:/sysctl would open the man-page, wp KDE would open wikimedia a.s.o.
that would really be great and make me dump the kicker applet :)
The compiling process stops here:

I get random crashes when typing text.
I am able to reproduce this pretty consistently, especially if I type in a bunch of garbage, then hold down the backspace key. Maybe it has problems keeping up with rapid key presses?
>>I get random crashes when typing text.
>>I am able to reproduce this pretty consistently,
Unfortunately, I haven't. I rarely get crashes but I'm unable to consistently reproduce them.
>>especially if I type in a bunch of garbage, then hold down the backspace key.
Why are you typing garbage? ;) I tried that too with the previous releases but you're the first to report the problem so I thought it was pretty isolated.
>>Maybe it has problems keeping up with rapid key presses?
Yes, apparently sometimes it does... Except without a definite set of keystrokes or normal program usage that causes it to crash it's difficult to identify what's wrong.
Well, it happens even with normal program usage. Typing garbage quickly just gets you there faster. :) Actually even just typing one character can sometimes do it.
With all the plugins enabled, type "exec kontact". Sometimes it crashes while I'm typing, sometimes while I'm holding down backspace.
I suspect that it has something to do with updating the display, not the catalogs themselves. Not sure though. I'll take a closer look when I have some time.
here is a backtrace of a crash occuring when typing garbage.
It happened when the program was focusing on a folder as its target.. The First three letters were highlighted.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

You appear to have the same problem as above. Where were the files installed?
$KDEDIR should be the directory returned by `kde-config --prefix`
Your system isn't detecting the libraries used by the program.

I'm really looking forward for an update that fixes - the random crashes. - IM catalog. Then Katapult would be (almost) perfect.

The original Katapult had a system tray that was mainly used for configuration. Is there a way to access a similar configuration menu?
Alt+Space Ctrl+C There you go. :D (You can enable the system tray icon in the settings).
Awesome, thanks a lot. I didn't know the Ctrl+C for configure :P I feel dumb.

It looks like you need to install the kdepim-dev package (or whatever your distribution calls it).
It's debian machine (unstable), and libkdepim1-dev is already installed.
You also need to 'apt-get install kdepim-dev'. It's a separate dev package. That should take care of it.
I get random crashes when typing text. I am able to reproduce this pretty consistently, especially if I type in a bunch of garbage, then hold down the backspace key. Maybe it has problems keeping up with rapid key presses?
>>I get random crashes when typing text. >>I am able to reproduce this pretty consistently, Unfortunately, I haven't. I rarely get crashes but I'm unable to consistently reproduce them. >>especially if I type in a bunch of garbage, then hold down the backspace key. Why are you typing garbage? ;) I tried that too with the previous releases but you're the first to report the problem so I thought it was pretty isolated. >>Maybe it has problems keeping up with rapid key presses? Yes, apparently sometimes it does... Except without a definite set of keystrokes or normal program usage that causes it to crash it's difficult to identify what's wrong.
Well, it happens even with normal program usage. Typing garbage quickly just gets you there faster. :) Actually even just typing one character can sometimes do it. With all the plugins enabled, type "exec kontact". Sometimes it crashes while I'm typing, sometimes while I'm holding down backspace. I suspect that it has something to do with updating the display, not the catalogs themselves. Not sure though. I'll take a closer look when I have some time.
Could you send me a backtrace?
here is a backtrace of a crash occuring when typing garbage. It happened when the program was focusing on a folder as its target.. The First three letters were highlighted. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

You appear to have the same problem as above. Where were the files installed? $KDEDIR should be the directory returned by `kde-config --prefix` Your system isn't detecting the libraries used by the program.
