KDE: Kate add a file by right-click in Filesystem Browser
One more Kate wish completed by me . Bug no. 93230 and this will also be in KDE 4.5 .
Problem/Wish: There is no way to add a file by rightclicking to a folder in Filesystem Broswer(filebrowser plugin).
Solution: Updated the KDirOperator with KNewFileMenu wrapper “setNewFileMenuSupportedMimeTypes” which will Only show the files in a given set of mimetypes it Internally uses KNewFileMenu::setSupportedMimeTypes. In general now we can restrict options to be shown in Create New, this is useful in specialized applications like kate etc. while file managers, on the other hand, want to show all mimetypes. (thanks to David Faure for moving KNewMenu to kdelibs as KNewFileMenu).
* for more details here is the bug description.
This is how the new context menu of kate Filesystem Browser will look:

KDE: Kate close/save multiple files.
One more patch from my side to Kate. This time it’s from kate wish-list Bug No. 62998 and this will be in KDE 4.5 .
Problem/Wish: There was no option for closing and saving multiple (selected) files in document list.
Solution: Changed the document list’s selection mode to QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelection and added two options in list’s context-menu, Save Selected and Close Selected , now user can select multiple files in document list by Left-click + Ctrl combination and close them using Right-click + Close Selected or/and save them using Right-click + Save Selected options.

My 1st Open-Source contribution
Long time since I made a blog post … My new year started with a bang .. completing one item from my own wish list i.e contribute to a Open-Source project.
I have started contributing to KDE Kate. My 1st patch accepted for BUG No. 184055 which is now in kde 4.4 . Hurray …
About the fix:
Problem : Previously in Kate’s document view the last added file was not getting sorted as per the given sorting option.
Solution: Whenever user open the file call the document views sorting.

Though it was really small bug fix it was really a good learning experience. I will try to be consistent with contributing to KDE .

Python CSV Hack!
This is just a simple hack I did today morning.
This is to calculate my total internet data usages.
From my ISP Reliance Netconnect Broadband + I get one CSV file with all the details, and to view this I don’t have any spreadsheet viewer kinda thing installed on my system, so how to calculate the usages?
I wrote small python script to do so, this is about it how it works.
contents of CSV file looks something like this :
Date Of Access,Time Of Access,Session Duration,Data Upload(KBs),Data Download(KBs),Total Data Transferred(KBs)

Basically divided into 6 Fields ie.
separated by “,” (comma) .
Here my required field is Total Data Transferred(KBs), thats the last field.
means I need to add last field of each row.
the python scrip for the same is:
# Open file
f = open("tel.csv")
# Read all lines in list called lines
lines = f.readlines()
# Initialize variable to store the total
total = 0.0
""" Remove the 1st line from the lines list as
it's the header which we don't require"""
lines.pop(0)
for i in lines:
""" Split each line on ","(comma)
so that you will get all the 6 fields for that line as list"""
i = i.split(",")
""" Take the last value, convert it to float
and add it to the total variable"""
total += float(i[-1])
# Print the total in Kb
print "total data uses in Kb: " + total
# Print the total in Mb
print "total data uses in Mb: " + total/1024
# Print the total in Gb
print "total data uses in Gb: " + (total/1024)/1024
Happy Hacking !!
