Submitted: Mar 19 2009

Description:

A Gmail notification widget for your desktop or panel.

This widget is designed to be docked in a panel, or added to your desktop, and display the number of unread messages in multiple Gmail accounts. Clicking on the widget will open the Gmail account in your favorite browser. The widget is written in python, meaning that there is no compiling necessary as long as you have the required script-engine installed.

For more screenshots visit the project homepage.

Features:
- NEW New simplified version re-implemented in qml and javascript available for testing (very early version with little error checking and many features missing and/or removed).
- NEW New qml version likely requires KDE 4.8 (but may work with KDE 4.7).
- NEW Testing qml version will coexist with existing gmail-plasmoid (testing version is called gmail-plasmoid-qml).
- NEW Any comments regarding new qml version appreciated.

- Selectable fetching mechanism to address multiple issues (see "Misc." configuration tab)
- Dynamic network connection detection
- Bulgarian, Chinese Traditional, Czech, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Spanish and Ukrainian translations
- Supports multiple Gmail accounts and Gmail labels
- Supports Gmail hosted domains
- Uses KWallet to securely store passwords
- Configurable icon and text font, size and color
- Configurable command run upon clicking the widget
- Configurable notifications using the KDE notification system
- Includes notification for when no unread emails exist (useful for running command to turn off message indicator LEDs, etc.)
- "Check email now" menu option to force email check upon command
- Ability to manually pause and resume email checking
- Threads context menu that shows unread messages on right-click

Please let me know if you find any problems or would like some new features included. The best place to request new features is on the project's homepage.

How to install:
- Download the latest version
- Uninstall any previous version (see instructions below)
- Run the following command in the directory where the file was placed (updated to reflect the actual filename):

Quote:
plasmapkg -i gmail-plasmoid-0.7.20.plasmoid

- The widget should now be listed in your "Add Widgets" screen

Note: If you get missing script-engine errors when loading the widget you need to install the plasma python script-engine (in openSUSE this requires the "python-kdebase4" and "python-devel" packages, in Fedora this requires the "kdebase-workspace-python-applet" package, in Kubuntu this requires the "plasma-scriptengine-python" package)

How to uninstall:
- Run the following command at the command line:

Quote:
plasmapkg -r gmail-plasmoid

Hi it's me :D

I may be misunderstanding your question, but I think the issue may be that the widget does not clearly differentiate between what “label” means and what “display name” means. This is also why I am hoping to have some translations made for the widget sometime soon (please let me know if you can offer any help with translations). Either way, the “label” field is used to specify a label in your Gmail account, such as “starred,” “spam” or any of the custom labels that you have created in your Gmail account. On the other hand, the “display name” field is used to change how the account is displayed by the widget.

So, from your email I assume that you want your account to be displayed by the widget using your actual name instead of your Gmail username. Therefore, you would want to put your actual name in the “display name” field instead of the “label” field.

I hope this helps and let me know if any of the above is unclear.

Hi!

I can resize the plasmoid, but when I restart the computer, it's with the default size again. I have tried it in several computers with the same results.Any idea?

Thanks.

Yes, that is a bug and it is my fault for leaving some debugging code in. I hope to have a new version out in the next few days that will include a fix for this problem. Sorry!

asks for password

Great plasmoid, now i do not have to keep kmail open in systray.

I just have a problem. Every time gmail-plasmoid starts up, an Authorization Dialog asks for password and never remembers it when i check for it. (i have kwallet disabled if that matters). Can i try to store my password in some config file manually?

Thank you for this so useful widget.

Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of this issue, but it seems to be a problem within the KDE KIO classes. The widget passes the account password to KIO, but KIO still asks the user for the password. To make things worse, when KWallet is disabled KIO will not remember the password even if the “remember password” option is selected. Unfortunately, until this problem is fixed the alternatives are to give KIO your Gmail password every time you log in or to enable KWallet support. If you enable KWallet with a blank password then you will not be asked for any password when you log in, and it is arguably just as insecure as storing passwords in random configuration files.

Sorry I can't be more help, and I hope you can find a way to get it working the way you want it.

Different URLs for accounts?

Hi

First of all, awesome widget :)

Would it be possible to include functionality to open different URLs depending on which mailbox has new mail?

Maybe you could make the lines in the 'Accounts' pop-up link to the appropriate mail accounts?

If you are interested in a patch, I might try implementing it for you.

I have been thinking about that for a while and it would be a nice feature. However, unless you are dealing with hosted domains, there seems to be some difficulty moving between different accounts with the way Gmail does its authentication. I will not have time over the next few days to look into this, but if you could figure this out that would be great! If you produce a patch please create an “issue” on the Google Code site for the widget (see homepage link above) and post the patch there, and thanks in advance for any patches you create.

Some problems

When I receive an email the mail led is turned on. After I had read it the plasmoid automatically turn it off. However when I change user in KDE without reading the new mail the led is still turned on and I have to turn it off manually.
I've also a question. When I click on the plasmoid it should open my gmail account (without inserting user and password)? Because it only opens the gmail web page. (I'm using the last version of gmail-plasmoid)

Sorry for my english, I hope you'll understand.

For the LED issue, it sounds like something in your user switching procedure is causing the LED to come on, not the gmail-plasmoid widget. The only way the LED can be turned on or off by the widget is through the KDE notification system as a user defined command, and the new mail notification is only fired when there is actually new mail. One way to test this would be to not install the widget in the second user's account and see if the LED still turns on. If it does, then I do not believe that it is an issue with the widget. To be sure you could uninstall the widget from both accounts and see if the behaviour continues.

As for logging into Gmail, that will be dependent on the web browser you are using. The widget simply sends the url from the Gmail feed to the browser. Under Firefox you must check the “remember me on this computer” checkbox when you log in to your account and you cannot use the “sign out” option when you close down the account. However, I have seen slightly different behaviour in other browsers.

I hope the above helps, and let me know if you have any other issues.

use popup for thread

My gmail plasmoid is always in my pannel. So I suggest you to use a popupApplet and show the thread inside the popup ( like this : http://www.kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/101968-1.jpeg) And when you click on the thread, it open gmail web page.

Second, you need to add Plasma::ToolTipContent data;

My issue with using the popupApplet class is that it is very restrictive and, the last time I checked, you could not cleanly override what occurs when you click on the widget. Many people (like me) only configure one account, and it is a pain to have to click twice to open that account. In fact, it was another Gmail checker's use of the popupApplet class that led me to create this widget in the first place.

That being said, if this were implemented without the use of the popupApplet class so that it was easy to override when only one account was configured, then I would be interested in that change. I would be happy to accept any patches that implement this feature as long as the current functionality for users with only one account configured was retained. If you wish to submit patches, please create an “Issue” on th project's Google Code page. Thanks!
