KSambaShare patches
 

Hello everybody,

I've been working to get latest samba sharing tool integrated into
kde. I made some progress in the latest weeks and I'm attaching
patches for those who want to test. They are in git format :-)
I need some help with the property ui to get it more user-friendly.

There are some know issues:
* Some cases are not being covered yet
* The share interface, located in file properties, is not setting
permission by users yet.


Feedbacks are really appreciated.


Rodrigo Belem.

Brilliant! Simply brilliant!

Do you happen to have a git/bzr/something branch for this?

Also I am sure Rohan would love to provide a PPA for this, so that testing
becomes easier... ;)

One thing that just jumped at me and wanted to snuggle was

That is from the usershare-support patch line 227. The startsWith will fail
whenever the system locale is not en_US/C, which it almost never is on Kubuntu
(from a localized POV). Hence you will need to enforce a C as language for the
command (e.g. by preceeding the command with LANG=C). Of course this is still
dirty and ultimately you'd have a better option to check for the errors, but
oh well... :)

I would like to have, but kdelibs and kdenetwork are not under git yet
:-( Are there bzr clones for them?

I'm not sure if testparm is internationalized, but I will add LANG=C
to the cmd line to avoid problems :-)


Thanks,

There should be, thanks to project neon.

It works! At last I can share files from Dolphin!

There's a tickbox "Share this folder on the local network" which i
don't think does anything, that should go.

The tickbox "Share with Samba (Microsoft(R) Windows(R))" doesn't need
to kowtow to their trademark, should be just
"Share with Samba (Microsoft Windows)"

Should there not be a tickbox for write access?

There is a UI to add individual users but I think most of the time you
want to share with anyone who has an account on your machine so I'd
have radio buttons "Share with all users on this computer" and "Share only with
specified users".

If I untick "Share with Samba" it does stop sharing but it still shows
as being shared in the UI with the extra icon on the folder in dolphin
and the box ticked next time I open the dialogue.

When "Share with Samba" is unticked I think the "Samba Options" box
should be disabled.

I see David Faure has left some comments on reviewboard. Hopefully
there shouldn't be too much work to get him happy and this can go into
4.6.

Let me know if you need any help.

Jonathan

I think that the patch is ready :-) o/. I'm now writing the docstrings.

I need some help to define how this ui will be. Some designers help
would be nice :-)

I will update the ui with the Riddell's comments and then will post
the link to the screenshots ;-)
