Hi all.

This is my first post but I've been using KDE for a time now.

I'm studying IT in Australia (I was not born there and English ain't my first language) and we I had a project which consisted in having to attempt to fix a bug in any OpenSource project in any language and of course I hat to chose something with KDE (i know the basics of C++ and QT) and a after trying to find myself an easy-to-fix bug a found this bug in the picture frame plasmoid.

When you drag a folder into the plasmoid the sideshow starts but with the default image as the first image.

So I downloaded the sources from the web SVN (yes one by one) installed the nesesary pakages to compile kde-QT4-C++ for my distro (kubuntu) and started to analyse the codes and afer a cuple of hours a found a way to fix the bug.

I know that this place might not be the correct place to post this but i dont have access to the svn nor know the email of the developer that does this plamoid and most important i'd like to see this fixed in the next release of KDE.

This might not be the right way to to fix this but at least works i tested it(after having to fight with CMAKE for some painfully minutes).

the codes are:


// in frame.cpp

// this is a line goesin at the end of the initSlideShow() method (i'm not actually sure were but i wrote it at the end of the method and it worked ).
m_mySlideShow->startSlideShow();


//in slideshow.h int the public: declarations
void startSlideShow();

//in slideshow.cpp were ever
void SlideShow::startSlideShow()
{
updatePicture();
}

So i just want any one to help me to confirm this is right (and toput this into the svn if you're very kind) and to point me in the right direction if i want to become a KDE developer.

btw i did pass my assessment

PS my first language is spanish.

You should post this to the plasma-devel@kde.org mailing list, where you'll find most Plasma developers. You can, if you want, subscribe here. If you don't want to subscribe, just send an email to the address above and ask them to cc you the replies.
