Introduction
Jonathan post about indicators has been received with various feelings, ranging from interest to questioning or plain hostility. Since I get more and more people asking about this indicator thing, I figured I should try to explain what indicators are, how they are different from notifications and answer a few other frequently asked questions.

Posted in Gwenview, KDE, tagged crop, thumbnails, video on July 7, 2009 | 41 Comments »
I have been lagging quite a bit as far as blogging about Gwenview is concerned. In this post I present the most important new features introduced in the KDE 4.3 version of Gwenview which I haven’t blogged about yet.
Vertical Thumbnail Bar
Quite a few people have been asking for the ability to orient the thumbnail bar [...]

Have you ever felt frustrated trying to describe a problem you see on your screen over IRC? Or ever needed to quickly highlight a part of a screenshot to attach to a bug report? I have… These last weeks I have been hacking on and off on a little tool to help with this. It’s [...]
Back from All-hands + UDS Karmic
Posted in Gwenview, KDE, tagged canonical, uds on June 2, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Except for some (now considered) minor issue, All-hands and UDS Karmic were both amazing!
I came back exhausted, but I feel like I really know the company much better now. I am also very happy with the progress we made concerning the cooperation between Canonical Desktop Experience Team and the Kubuntu community. More on this soon [...]
Gwenview 2.3 Sidebar
Posted in Gwenview, KDE on May 17, 2009 | 46 Comments »
One of the most requested features for Gwenview 2 is bringing back the folder view. As I stated earlier, I worked on this feature for Gwenview 2.3.
It’s done now, I hesitated quite a bit on the way to integrate this view in the application, but I think it’s now ready to be presented.
I decided to [...]
History

It’s been a long time since I last posted news about Gwenview development. I am going to resume posting about latest changes. Let’s begin with history.
In Gwenview 2.2, history was a list which appeared on the right of the start page:
As you can see this could result in a lot of information crammed into the [...]
KDE at Solutions Linux 2009

From the 31th of march to the 2nd of april, the yearly Solutions Linux trade show held in Paris. Of course, KDE was here.
Day 1
Sébastien Renard (KDE French translation coordinator) and I installed the KDE booth. It was a bit minimalist: one A2-sized KDE logo, two chairs, one table and two laptops, but at least [...]
Exciting change!
Posted in KDE, tagged canonical, job, openwide on February 26, 2009 | 29 Comments »
My professional career is about to change one more time… In two weeks I leave Open Wide for Canonical, joining the Desktop Experience team as a KDE developer.
I spent some good time in the OS4I business unit of Open Wide. In the jungle of consulting companies, Open Wide is a human-sized company and a nice [...]
Thoughts on Gwenview folder view
Posted in Gwenview, KDE on January 31, 2009 | 28 Comments »
So, KDE 4.2 is finally out, it’s time to switch from bug fix mode to feature implementation mode (even if I am still working at wiping out a few nasty bugs in Gwenview for 4.2.1).
One of the most wanted features I plan to add to the next version of Gwenview is an optional folder sidebar. [...]
KRunner is more powerful than it looks
Posted in KDE, tagged akonadi, krunner, powerdevil on December 16, 2008 | 29 Comments »
The other day I got a bit fed up of having a “Starting Akonadi server” dialog showing up each time I logged on my KDE4 trunk session, so I decided to investigate what was causing this dialog to appear.
It turned out it was triggered by KRunner. In case you don’t know what KRunner is, it’s [...]
