Description:

This software implements a plugin for Netscape-compatible browsers in a Unix environment. This plugin uses KDE's KParts technology to embed file viewers (e.g. for PDF files) into non-KDE browsers. Tested browsers include both Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
With this plugin, you can e.g. view PDF files in Firefox using Okular as an embedded plugin.

 Where's the KCM module?

I put the KCM module in root where all the other KCM*.so's are, but it's still not showing up. How do I install it?

I moved it to /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_kpartsplugin.so, but I still can't find it in the control panel..

You should use the regular toolchain, i.e. "make install" to install all necessary files into the right places.
In your case, I guess you missed to install kcm_kpartsplugin.desktop into SOME_KDE_DIR/share/kde4/services/

Thanks. I figured it was something small like that. I use a choot install to keep my main machine clean, so make install wasn't an option..

P.S. I think I found a small oversight on the GUI design. See for yourself.

Strange. Now I'm really having a problem. I'm using KDE 4.8.x, and what I did was use checkinstall to create a deb package in the chroot, then install it on my main system, so I could use the 'make install' command (clever method!). But now that it's installed correctly, I STILL don't see in my system settings? What could be wrong now?

 Original filename in "save copy"

 
 by ChichipioWilson on: Jun 4 2012  
Score 50%
ChichipioWilsonChichipioWil son

Hi, I'm using it on Arch and it works great. For the most part, it's made my life easier. I like opening pdf files that I only intend to read once directly on the browser without having to save it to disk.
However, I've found that it complicates things for me with files that I already know I want to keep. Before, I used to click on the link to the file and presto! I would get the "save file" dialog pre-populated with the original filename, so it took just another click to save the file.

With the plugin enabled, I see the contents of the file, but there's no "one-click" way of saving it to disk with the original filename. The "save copy..." button opens the "save dialog," but the filename is empty, so I have to manually type it in--or copy/paste it from the url. Using the save menu from the external program used to open the file gets me the "save dialog" with a made-up name (e.g. KPartsPluginSF3360.pdf). The only way I have to save it with its original name (without typing anything) is going to the Firefox menu > "save page as..." and that's pretty inconvenient.

So my question is, is there a way to preserve the original filename and pre-populate the "save copy" dialog with it? Or have another button for it, or any other solution that gets me a quick way to save a file directly from the page I'm seeing without having to go to the FF menu?

Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no way to communicate the original URL to the plugin. The browser only sends a byte stream to the plugin to show. But I'll investigate this case ...

Thanks for the quick answer. Too bad that it can't be done (at least for now), but luckily, it's not a show stopper. The pros greatly outweigh the cons in this case.

I hadn't been able to test this new version until today, and all I can say now is: excellent!

That was exactly what I was looking for. Now I can freely say that it's made my surfing easier without having to qualify that with any "buts."

 really smart!!

great plugin!It really makes kde appear less a second class citizen in the desktop environment arena!

I hope to see it bundled with more distro soon.

Just some feedback from an old kde user:

1. why the kcm mdoule? AFAIK you don't need to create it, you can make kpartsplugin be a viewer in the default file association module by adding just a .desktop file. For example, the x-chm mime-type is handled by okularpart. This association is defined insied /usr/share/kde4/services/okularChm.desktop file.

2. the toolbar and the menubar are not right-clckable (at least for okular). Is it a wanted behaviour? Since its a plugin it would be wonderful to be able to enable/disable the menubar.

Just my two cents, thanks for this great little utility!

You got it wrong where KPartsPlugin comes into play. It is not meant to replace Okluar, it makes Okular accessible from within your non-KDE browser.
KPartsPlugin will claim support in the browser for any mimetype which is supported in the KDE system, which is maybe not what you want. For example, KPartsPlugin will claim to support all kinds of office file formats as soon as Calligra is installed, but you may want to prefer LibreOffice's native plugin you browser. Simply use the KCM module to tell KPartsPlugin to step back.

Well, I have to admit it: The menu/tool bar is fake and just rebuilds the original one at its bare minimum. Feel free to contribute code how to improve it.
However, I could add an option to the KCM module to add options for (not) showing buttons or menus ...

Actualy I didn't looked at the sources,
I thought you implemented it as
a kpart plugin itself (even if, thinking on
it, doing something like that
would have not made possible to manage
mime-type handling the way I was suggesting
either)

Many "kpart container" applications (I mean
konsole, dolphin, okular etc) use the standard
actions "show/ihde" menubar and "show/hide"
toolbar. Ithink a better approach would be to
let kpartsplugin behave the same. I hope to
find some spare time soon to add support for
this point.

PS:

>KDE was never a second class citizen!

well, for me it's the King of DE, but I have
yet to see major distributions (fedora,ubuntu,
and even opensuse to some extent) make a better
use of its technologies. Seems that all of the
fine tuning love is directed elsewhere, and
you as a kde user are forced to fiddle with
stupid details all the time just to make things
work toghether.

 I figured it out

The paths were all wrong. It was installing the plugin to /usr/lib/nsbrowser and /usr/local for the others. I switched it to /usr/lib/mozilla and /usr, and it installed to the correct places. It took a lot of work though.

Is there any easier way I can manually configure the path seamlessly for future releases?

There are two variables that determine where KPartsPlugin is installed to and both are provided when calling cmake using a switch like -D VARIABLE=VALUE
The installation path for the browser plugin itself is controlled by NSPLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR and the default value is /usr/lib*/nsbrowser/plugins/
The KCM and other files are installed into a subtree defined in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX which is /usr/local by default.
For more details on KDE and CMake, have a look here: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/CMake

 Separate XOrg window

Hey,

When I use this plugin everything shows up in a separate X window for some reason now. I believe this has to do with Qt style I am using, called Bespin (rev 1607).

I would really really really appreciate it if this could be fixed. :)

At the moment I am using Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE 4.8.5. It *should* be reproducible only with Bespin however.

My Bespin configuration. (~/.config/Bespin/Style.conf)
http://pastebin.com/YBsLNPKJ

Bespin URL. (You'll need to build from source :( )

Well, if it happens with Bespin only, then it is obviously a Bespin problem and you should contact its author.
As for Firefox, I don't see why it should have changed with a newer version, as the plugin is not specific to any Firefox version. I am not using Firefox 15 myself, but my guess would be that it is some sort of settings problem. Try to contact the Sumo people about that ...

Sorry, I should have tested this without Bespin enabled to begin with. The problem doesn't appear on the Oxygen style, so it might be Bespin afterall. Yes, I have already contacted the author (I'm working the bug report on 2 fronts, just to make sure everything that needs to be done is done).

The person who is testing this problem out was also having the plugin freeze on him (besides my issue). He says the following:

"i suggest to file a bug for the plugin to
setenv("QT_NO_GLIB", "") before (likely creating a QApplication instance."

You can see my bug report for his style here:

In the git version, I added a simple
unsetenv("QT_NO_GLIB");

Please test if this new version fixes you "out-of-window" problems.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,
