Please, release Plasma 5 comatible version. KDE is a crap without smooth-tasks :(

I just installed the newest version (from Arch's user repository here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kdeplasma-applets-smooth-tasks2/ ) for KDE 4.14.1, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I tried logging in and out, restarting, but I still have the default taskbar. Any advice?

Works well in 4.11.9!

The Apply button in the Settings dialogue doesn't get activated when a change is made, though. You have to click OK to update it.

I tried the source from here, and also from AUR, both times they compile and install fine, but when I log out and back in, my task bar never changed.....Am I doing something wrong?

Im running KDE 4.12.2 in Arch

Same problem, using newest KDE version at time of writing. Any way to get it to work?

Hey,
I like this app but I don't need the window preview as tool tip. Instead of this I'd like to have only the icon + title as a little popup. Is it possible to patch it or to add this as an option in the preferences?

Thanks

Thank you, Henry!!! It's now working like a charm!!!

make my desktop look elegant ;)

Please add "Shift + left click" to start new instance. The same configuration works for Cairo and Windows. Would be great to use it in a way that users are already accustomed.

Hello Henry4, here I uploaded a video with my bug, I hope it help:

Thank's you, but your have the bug with the last version ?

Yes, the newest version from AUR. I can hold it via pacman.conf, but than it has problems with newest version of kde-workspace, so I have to hold kde-workspace too, wich is important package and this is no option for me. Thank you :)

I've just installed "2013-10-12" version and the problem is still here.

I maintain the 2013-10-12 AUR pkg and I can reproduce this bug.

Thanks for fixing.

i think this is smooth task bug

P.S. i using the 20120219

i haved update to the newest, waiting that if that error would happened

I would really like to use SmoothTasks but there's one show stopper keeps me from doing that. I use wide vertical panel at side of screen for taskbar. Best use for that space imo would be KDE's default taskbar's behaviour where tasks are in one row, don't take much space vertically and titles expanded (always) horizontally. Example: http://tinyurl.com/ovns4y9 . Problem with SmoothTasks is that when forced it to use one row and expand titles always, they can't be set to do that vertically and they take a huge amount of vertical space even if I set distance of tasks to minimum. Example: http://tinyurl.com/nrzfwt8 . That task bar takes over half of the screen vertically). It doesn't look good and isn't efficient.

So my wishes: 1) Option to set direction of title expanding to vertical 2) Option to restrict tasks vertical space 3) When right-clicking a task there should be an option for SmoothTasks references. Now it's painfully hard to click the right place to get that option.

For point 1 I undersate, but for others :
2. Could you indicate on this snapshoot which space should be reduced :
http://beonis.fr/vertical-smoothtasks.png
3. Smooth-Task references = parameters ?

2. I was referring to situation where vertical panel is wide (above 80 pixels) and expanded text can't anymore be seen and there's only few tasks. They still take all the vertical space there is as seen in http://tinyurl.com/nrzfwt8 (as opposed to KDE's default Icon tasks -plasmoid: http://tinyurl.com/mghvrh2). I guess it's a matter of personal taste which each one prefers but it's more efficient to switch between tasks when there's less distance between.

3. It's seems to be "Smooth Task Settings" in englis (image: http://tinyurl.com/ldtcbfv). It can be accessed also by: unlock widgets > click configure icon > right-click the plasmoid > after changes: lock widgets, but that's more inconvenient. There's also shortcut for that, but those "Alt + X,Y" -type combos haven't never worked for me. About all the other plasmoids I've tried have a menu entry for options when you just right-click them.

Hello Henry is there any progress for my problem? Thank you :)

May be I missed something - this bug appears only in manually sorting mode. I hope this will help :)

When running the following command: cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
