El objetivo de esta página es proporcionar una referencia de carácter no técnico junto con enlaces para más información o alguna demostración.
Una visión general
Una guía visual de KDE 4.0 y un vídeo de KDE 4.1 te darán una excelente visión de KDE Software Compilation 4 en sus primeros días.
El siguiente glosario está destinado a ayudarte a encontrar el camino entre la oscuridad de nuevos nombres y conceptos. En algunos casos puedes encontrar un enlace de un componente de KDE 3 a su equivalente en el contexto de KDE SC 4.
- Actividades
- Las actividades son conjuntos de elementos gráficos de Plasma que tienen su propio fondo de pantalla. Es un concepto similar a los Escritorios Virtuales, pero no del todo.
- Por ejemplo, tienes una "Actividad de trabajo" con lectores de rss, unas notas con cosas que hacer, una Vista de carpeta con los archivos relacionados con tu trabajo, y un fondo de pantalla sutil.
- A su lado, tienes tu "Actividad de tiempo libre", con fotos de tu familia y los perros, lectores de rss de tus blogs favoritos, una Vista de carpeta que muestra tu colección de películas, una miniaplicación para Twitter y por supuesto aquel fondo de pantalla de Iron Maiden del que has estado enamorado desde principios de los 80.
- A las 17:00 cambias desde tu Actividad de trabajo a tu Actividad de tiempo libre.
- Más información:
- Akonadi
- El mecanismo de acceso a los datos almacenados para PIM (Gestor de información personal) en KDE SC 4. Un único sistema de almacenamiento y recuperación es mucho más eficiente y extensible que en KDE 3, donde cada componente PIM tenía su propio sistema. Ten en cuenta que el uso de Akonadi no cambia el formato de almacenamiento de los datos (vcard, iCalendar, mbox, maildir, etc.) - simplemente proporciona una nueva manera de acceder y actualizar los datos.
- Las principales razones para diseñar y desarrollar Akonadi son de carácter técnico, como por ejemplo tener una única manera de acceder a los datos PIM (contactos, calendarios, emails, etc) desde diferentes aplicaciones (kmail, kword, etc), eliminando así la necesidad de escribir código similar aquí y allí.
- Otro de los objetivos es impedir que aplicaciones con interfaz gráfica como kmail tengan acceso directo a recursos externos como servidores de correo electrónico - esto era una de las razones principales de los informes de fallos en relación con el rendimiento y la falta de repuesta en el pasado.
- Más información:
- aRts
- La infraestructura de sonido de KDE 2 y 3. Su naturaleza monotarea causaba problemas cuando se encontraba con dos fuentes de sonido. En el escritorio Plasma ha sido reemplazado por Phonon
- Más información:
- Containment
- A Containment is a top level grouping of widgets. Each Containment manages the layout and configuration data of its set of widgets independently from other Containments.
- The end result is that you can group widgets within a Containment according to the significance to your working pattern, rather than by directory grouping.
- D-Bus
- Un sistema de comunicación entre servicios. Desarrollado por RedHat, fue fuertemente influenciado por el sistema DCOP de KDE3, a quien reemplaza.
- Más información:
- Dolphin
- Es el gestor de archivos por defecto en KDE SC 4. Tiene un panel lateral (Lugares), pero la navegación se lleva a cabo principalmente por "hilo de Ariadna" sobre la ventana principal. Se pueden dividir las ventanas, así como aplicar diferentes vistas a ventanas individuales. El montaje y desmontaje de dispositivos USB se puede hacer desde el panel lateral. Puedes añadir otros directorios al panel Lugares. También hay disponible una vista de árbol.
- Más información:
- Extender
- Extenders are a special kind of popup that can grow out of a Plasma panel for example. Extenders have detachable parts. Extenders are a new concept that arrived in Plasma for KDE 4.2. Notifications already use this system. This enables, for example, a user to drag a notification of a download or file copy job, onto his or her desktop and keep track of it there. The same can be done for other kinds of notifications, too.
- More info:
- Flake
- Flake is a programming library to be used in KOffice2. Functionally, it provides Shapes to display content and Tools to manipulate content. Shapes can be zoomed or rotated and can be grouped to work as a single Shape, around which text flow is possible.
- More info:
- Get Hot New Stuff
- Get Hot New Stuff (GHNS) is an open standard that makes it easy for users to download and install various extensions for their applications. Our implementation of GHNS is used by Plasma (for example to get new desktop themes), and by many applications and widgets.
- More info:
- Home Directory
- That's the place in your system where all your files are kept. You can write your files outside of this folder, but all applications are configured to propose this folder as place to write your files to. It is easier when you keep your things here.
- More info:
- KControl
- Centro de control de KDE, para configurar las preferencias globales en KDE 3. Reemplazado por la interfaz System Settings en KDE SC 4.
- KDOM
- A KPart module making KHTML DOM (Document Object Model) rendering capabilities available to all applications. KSVG2 is built on KDOM for KDE SC 4.
- KHTML
- KHTML is the HTML rendering engine for the KDE Plasma desktop, as used by the Konqueror browser. It also provides a KPart that enables all KDE applications to display web content. A new introduction, Qt WebKit is also for Plasma and other application development.
- Kicker
- In KDE 3, the relocatable bar, usually at the bottom of the screen (sometimes called the Panel), on which application launchers, the Pager, and buttons for running applications reside. See Panel
- Kickoff
- In KDE SC 4 (and some late versions of KDE 3), a launch menu in which apps are sorted by functional group. 'Favorites' replaces the 'Most used applications' in Classic Menu, and applications can be added to it. Right-click also offers the possibility of adding applications to the desktop or panel. Rapid access to a less-used application is made possible with the search box. Other menus are being worked on, since KDE SC 4 can be used with more than one launcher, should that be required.
- More info:
- KJS
- KDE platform's JavaScript engine.
- KInfoCenter
- Kinfocenter originated as part of Kcontrol standing alone from KDE 3.1. In KDE SC 4 up until 4.4 it is replaced by modules configured in System Settings, notably Solid, and is being reintroduced as an application in KDE SC 4.5.
- More Info:
- KIO
- KDE Input/Output framework provides a single API for operating on files, whether local or on a remote server. Additionally, KIO Slaves provide support for individual protocols. Some particularly useful ones are http, ftp, sftp, smb, nfs, ssh (fish), man, tar and zip.
- Kiosk
- Kiosk is a framework for restricting user capabilities on a KDE platform system, ideal for use in locked-down environments such as Internet cafés. It is present in KDE 3 and KDE 4, but the adminisration tool, Kiosktool is KDE 3 only. It can be used to configure KDE 4 apps, or kiosk configurations can be maintained by editing config files manually.
- KPart
- A KPart is an individual component of the KDE Plasma desktop and allows applications to share their services with other applications. KParts allow KMail and KOrganizer to integrate (as plugins) into the Kontact suite, or KHTML to display sites in Akregator.
- Kross
- Kross is a scripting framework, enabling support for multiple scripting languages. A plugin system allows for the support of further languages in the future.
- KRunner
- La mini-línea de órdenes a la que se puede acceder desde el menú clásico, la combinación de teclas Alt+F2, o con un clic con el botón derecho en el escritorio. En KDE SC 4 un nombre parcial mostrará todas las coincidencias posibles.
- Más información:
- KSVG
- KSVG enables support for scalable vector graphics in a KHTML browser. KSVG2 extends this for KDE SC 4.
- KWin
- KWin is the window manager. This is where window decorations can be changed and themes applied. KDE SC 4 extends KWin to provide support for 3D Compositing effects on the desktop.
- More info:
- Mini-CLI
- See KRunner
- Nepomuk
- 'Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge', Nepomuk aims to remove artificial barriers between information to allow dynamic classification, organisation and presentation of data to the user. Whether downloaded from the internet, received in an email or scribbled in a note, information is globally searchable and tagged with intelligent data. See The Semantic Desktop for further discussion of this concept.
- More info:
- Oxygen
- Oxygen is the default theme of KDE SC 4. Designed to bring 'a breath of fresh air' to the desktop by removing the simplistic, cartoonish icons, and replacing them with a clean theme and photo-realistic icons. Oxygen uses a desaturated palette to avoid the icons becoming a distraction and uses detailed scalable graphics (SVG).
- More info:
- Pager
- A pager is a small program or panel applet which shows the position of windows on your desktop and usually, if you have several Virtual Desktops, gives an overview over all.
- Panel
- See Kicker. In KDE SC 4 the name 'kicker' is dropped, and the name 'panel' is the norm. 'Applets' are largely replaced by Widgets
- Phonon
- A cross-platform multimedia API, interfacing with existing frameworks, such as gstreamer and xine engines. KDE 2 and 3 depended on aRts for sound. Phonon replaces it.
- More info:
- Plasma
- In KDE SC 4 the Plasma Desktop replaces KDesktop, kicker and the superkaramba widget engine. The applets are called Plasmoids, and range from informational widgets to mini-apps such as a calculator or dictionary. Widgets from other sources, such as SuperKaramba widgets or Google Gadgets are also supported.
- More info:
- Qt
- (Pronounced 'cute') A framework/toolkit for writing cross-platform applications. It is used by many cross-platform applications such as Opera browser, GoogleEarth and Skype. Qt is developed by Trolltech, who are now part of the Nokia company. Qt forms the underlying library KDE software is built on.
- More info:
- Solid
- Solid provides a single API for hardware management. Hardware is grouped into 'domains'. The initial domains relate to HAL, NetworkManager and the Bluetooth stack.Since the backends for Solid are pluggable, Solid helps application developers write less code, and have it platform independent.
- Soprano
- Soprano is a sub-project of Nepomuk, providing a repository for gathered information such as tags, ratings, etc.. This makes the information available to Strigi
- Strigi
- A deep-indexed search daemon, Strigi aims to be fast and light-weight. It also uses SHA-1 hash which will help in the identification of duplicate files.
- System Settings
- KDE SC 4's replacement for KControl (Control Center) providing modular control over the KDE platform.
- More info:
- Threadweaver
- This thread programming library spreads work among multiple-core processors where available, prioritising them before queueing them for execution. ThreadWeaver provides a high-level job interface for multithreaded programming.
- More info:
- Virtual Desktops
- A popular concept of Unix based window managers is the one of virtual desktops. This means you have not only one screen where you can place your windows on but several. When you switch to a different desktop (usually with a pager) you will only see the windows which you started on your new desktop or moved to it. A window can also be made "sticky" which means it appears on all virtual desktops.
- WebKit
- HTML rendering engine, originating from a fork of KHTML. Adopted by Apple and developed for Safari. Webkit brings the whole functionality back to KDE SC 4, where it is available through Qt.
- More info:
- Widget
- Collins English Dictionary: "Any small mechanism or device the name of which is unknown or temporarily forgotten." In KDE software terms, a widget is a single component on the canvas. Other common names that are analogous are "applet" or "gadget". Superkaramba Themes, Apple's Dashboard, Google Gadgets, Yahoo Widgets, Vista Sidebar Widgets, Opera Widgets are all examples of other widget systems (some of which are supported by Plasma as well).
- X-Server
- The X-Server represents a basic layer upon which the various GUIs like the KDE Plasma desktop are built. It manages the basic mouse and keyboard input (from the local host as well as from remote hosts) and provides elementary graphic routines to draw rectangles and other primitives.
- XMLGUI
- A programmers' framework for designing the user interface. It is extensively used by KParts
- More info:
- ZUI
- The Zooming User Interface. "By zooming out, users can get an overview of all the object groupings that they have made. These groupings may reflect the projects they are working on, be ways to keep different sets of files organized, etc. By hovering or clicking on one of these groups when zoomed out, users can either get a preview/snapshot of what is in the grouping, or zoom in on that grouping so that it is displayed full size on the physical screen." aseigo.
