KC DropBox

Posted on 2012/02/06 Comments

Here’s a simple plugin for uploading files from your WordPress site front-end. It uses Jaka Jancar’s DropBox Uploader and inspired by a tutorial on WP Tuts+ (although I took a slightly different approach). It’s pretty easy to use and you can integrate it in your contact forms.

Clone/download it from GitHub and feel free to let me know if you have any problem.

PulseAudio Equalizer

Finally got PulseAudio’s equalizer working. It consumes 1-4% of my 2.30GHz i5 CPU (Clementine’s built-in equalizer consumes 4-7%, btw), and sounds really good :) Continue…

KDE 4.8 Taskbar

Posted on 2012/01/30 Comments

I’m not really sure if this feature is part of KDE SC 4.8, but it’s so cool and I feel like I have to write about it here :)

See the screenshot above? KDE’s default taskbar is now more powerful than ever! Right clicking on a taskbar item now gives you the ability to start a new instance of that application, and add a launcher of that application to the taskbar when it’s not running.

I know, it’s pretty similar to what Windows 7 offers, except (IMO) it’s waay cooler. In Windows 7, if you pinned an application to the taskbar, it will only show an icon, without the application name/window title, no matter the state of the application is (running or not). In KDE, well, you guessed it, if the application is not currently running, an icon will be added to the taskbar, and it will disappear when it’s launched.

If you really want Windows 7′s taskbar in KDE, you can install this plugin :)

Using Built-in Post Finder in Plugins

Posted on 2012/01/20 Comments

I was making some improvements to the KC Posts widget module in my KC Essentials plugin, and I wanted to make it easy for the users to find post IDs they want to include/exclude from the query. As you may already know, in the Media admin page, we can ‘attach’ an attachment to a post. It uses a neat jQuery UI dialog box to find posts. Here’s how I use it in KC Essentials.

Move Cursor to the Next/Previous Paragraph in Kate

Posted on 2012/01/20 Comments

It kind of irritates me that Kate doesn’t have a builtin functionality to move cursor to the next/previous paragraph. Fortunately, as with most KDE SC applications, Kate is extendable with custom scripts. So here’s my solution for the mentioned problem. Continue…
