This is a small client for LineControl. Although I’m the maintainer of another great client (KLCC), I decided to write a new one (almost) from scratch for several reasons:
- KLCC (a KDE-based client for LineControl) lacked the mini-display found in the Windows client
- WLC (the Windows client) is not maintained anymore and had an old-fashioned UI and quite a few bugs
- Writing a Qt-based client for LineControl would allow deprecating both KLCC and WLC
- Qt allows porting the client to even more platforms
Features
So far QLineControl only does the basic things a linecontrol-client can do. Some interesting non-basic features include
- Mini-display showing the current time, upload/download rate and overall byte-count
- Translucency for mini-display, in case you wonder what’s underneath the window
- Trayicon which works on both Linux and Windows
- Remember size and position of the mainwindow (WLC always had problems with that)
Screenshots
Known Problems & Roadmap
- Autoreconnect when loosing connection to linecontrol-server
- Autoredial if current line goes offline
- Per-line settings
- Cost handling
- Take action when line changes its status (offline/online script, play sound, …)
- Improve progressbar in mini-display when running under windows (smooth display, might be a Qt problem)
