.lf 1 info/tdemultimedia.kaboodle.1 .TH KABOODLE 1 "May 2003" KDE "KDE Application" .SH NAME kaboodle \- KDE simple and lean Media Player .SH SYNOPSIS .B kaboodle [\fIQt-options\fR] [\fIKDE-options\fR] [\fIURL\fR] .SH DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the .B kaboodle KDE Application. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. .PP .B Kaboodle is a simple KMedia (aRts) player for KDE, which can play standalone, or embedded in Konqueror. The embedded player should work for media embedded in khtml, too. It is meant for simple stuff like playing a quick video or sound file. .B Kaboodle does not accept plugins, does not have a playlist or volume control and other such features. .P To get a media-player with a full-fledged user interface, look at .BR noatun (1) .SH OPTIONS .SS "Arguments:" .TP URL URL of media file to play .SS "General Options" .B \-\-help Show help about options .TP .B \-\-help\-qt Show Qt specific options .TP .B \-\-help\-kde Show KDE specific options .TP .B \-\-help\-all Show all options .TP .B \-\-author Show author information .TP .B \-v\fR, \fB\-\-version Show version information .TP .B \-\-license Show license information .TP .B \-\- End of options .lf 1 info/kdeqtoptions .SS "KDE options" .TP 12 .BI \-\-caption \ caption Use \fIcaption\fP as name in the titlebar. .TP .BI \-\-icon \ icon Use \fIicon\fP as the application icon. \fIicon\fP is the name of the icon, which can either be an absolute filename path, or otherwise the icon is sought for in places according to the normal KDE rules. .TP .BI \-\-miniicon \ icon Use \fIicon\fP as the icon in the titlebar. \fIicon\fP is the filename of the icon, according to the same rules as for the \-\-icon parameter. .TP .BI \-\-config \ filename Use an alternative configuration file, instead of the default, which is normally located in .I /usr/share/config or in .RB $ TDEHOME\fI/share/config .TP .BI \-\-dcopserver \ server Set the address of the DCOP server to attach to. .TP .B \-\-nocrashhandler Disable crash handler, to get core dumps. This option has the same effect as definiting the environment variable KDE_DEBUG. .TP .B \-\-waitforwm Waits for a WM_NET compatible windowmanager. .TP .BI \-\-style \ style sets the application GUI style. .TP .BI \-\-geometry \ geometry sets the client geometry of the main widget. The geometry parameter follows the normal X convention for geometry, which is on the form: .RS .IP [\fIwidth\fBx\fIheight\fR][{\fB+-\fR}\fIxpos\fR{\fB+-\fR}\fIypos\fR] .P Where \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR gives the desired minimum width and height, of the main application window. Both in pixels. A value of 0 specifies the default size. The optional \fIxpos\fR and \fIypos\fR specifies the x,y-position that which is desired for the application window. Specifying negative values for x or y implies that the x or y position is to be measured from the left or bottom screen edge, instead of as in the normal case, with positive values, from the left and top edges. .RE .SS "Qt options" .TP 12 .BI \-\-display \ displayname Use the X-server display \fIdisplayname\fP. .TP .BI \-\-session \ sessionId Restore the application for the given \fIsessionId\fP. .TP .B \-\-cmap Causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display. .TP .BI \-\-ncols \ count Limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the QApplication::ManyColor color specification. .TP .B \-\-nograb Tells Qt to never grab the mouse or the keyboard. .TP .B \-\-dograb Running under a debugger can cause an implicit .B \-nograb, use \fB\-dograb\fR to override. .TP .B \-\-sync switches to synchronous mode for debugging. .TP .BI "\-\-fn\fR, \fP\-\-font" \ fontname Defines the default application font. The \fIfontname\fP should be in the X logical font name description format XLFD. For a full description of the format see .I /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/xlfd.TXT Note that the application might override the font specified with its own font. .TP .BI "-\-bg\fR, \fB\-\-background" \ color Sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated). .TP .BI "\-\-fg\fR, \fB\-\-foreground" \ color Sets the default foreground color. .TP .BI \-\-btn\fR, \fB\-\-button \ color Sets the default button color. .TP .BI \-\-name \ name Sets the application name. .TP .BI \-\-title \ title Sets the application title. This option might, or might not appear in the title bar caption, depending on the application. To change the caption, use the .B \-\-caption option instead. .TP .B \-\-visual TrueColor Forces the application to use a TrueColor visual on an 8-bit display. .TP .BI \-\-inputstyle \ inputstyle Sets XIM (X Input Method) input style. Possible values are .BR onthespot ", " overthespot ", " offthespot and root . .TP .BI \-\-im " XIM-server" Set XIM server. .TP .B \-\-noxim Disable XIM. .TP .B \-\-reverse Mirror reverses the whole layout of widgets. This means that menus will go in the opposite direction, the scroll bar will be on the opposite side, etc. For a normal western layout that means that menus and tool bars will go from the right edge to the left, the vertical scroll bar will be on the left side and so on. .lf 53 info/tdemultimedia.kaboodle.1 .SH ENVIRONMENT .lf 1 info/kdeenviron .SS "standard KDE environment variables" .IP KDE_LANG Language locale setting to use. This option makes it possible to set another language environment for a program than what is the default. The correct language pack for this language has to be installed for this option to work. The default language when there is none set is en_US. When deciding upon a language, the following resources are looked up, in order: KDE_LANG, configuration file, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, LANG. .IP KDE_UTF8_FILENAMES Assume that all filenames are in UTF-8 format regardless of the current language setting. Otherwise the filename format is defined by the language. .IP KDE_MULTIHEAD If this variable has the value .B true multihead multiple display mode is enabled. The KDE display will be shared over more than one screen. .IP DISPLAY Specifies the X display to run KDE on. .IP KDESYCOCA Specifies and alternative path for the .I ksycoca KDE system configuration cache file. The default path is /tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca .IP DCOPSERVER Specifies an alternative path for the DCOP server file. The default file is $HOME/.DCOPserver_\fIhostname\fP_\fIdisplayname\fP .IP SESSION_MANAGER The session manager to use. This option is set automatically by KDE and is a network path to the session manager socket. .IP HOME Path to the home directory for the current user. .IP TDEHOME The KDE per-user setting directory. Default if not specified is .I $HOME/.kde .lf 55 info/tdemultimedia.kaboodle.1 .SH FILES .TP .I $HOME/.kde/share/config/kaboodlerc configuration file. .SH AUTHOR Kaboodle was written by .nh .ad l Neil Stevens , Nikolas Zimmermann , and Charles Samuels . .hy .br Please use http://bugs.kde.org to report bugs, do not mail the authors directly. .br This manual page was prepared by .nh .ad l Karolina Lindqvist .hy for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR noatun (1) .br The full documentation for .B kaboodle is maintained as a docbook manual.
