this is certainly not a bug with amarok. How do you even set konqueror to offline mode? I couldnt find a way In konqueror menu: Settings->Configure Konqueror In the dialog that pops up, go to the "Cache" section, and if "Use cache" is enabled, you can select "Offline browsing mode" as a Policy How can this "certainly" not be a bug in amarok? I don't know how amarok tries to download files from internet, but I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't depend on configurations that are specific to other applications, such as the above one from konqueror. it is certainly not an amarok problem because we simply use the underlying KDE infrastructure to access the internet. if konqueror turns this off for all applications then how can we do anything about it. I can confirm, so reassigning to konqueror This is still the case with 4.6.3: When the cache policy in konqueror is set to "offline mode", amarok can not download artist information or lyrics. Caching is not a Konqueror specific setting. As with every other KIO setting it is system wide. More specifically it is a kio_http setting that affects all applications. The configuration dialog can be lanuched directly by typing "Cache" in the run dialog (ALT+F2). The reporter simply confused the matter because the only application that includes that global setting dialog is Konqueror. Perhaps it is not best it does that since that will affect the global settings and hence affect every application and confuse users. Most importantly however, this IS an amarok bug. The global "Caching" settings can easily be overridden by the application through the use of the KIO meta-data system when downloading material using KIO. All Amarok has to do is set the "cache" keyword to "reload".[1] [1] https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/master/entry/kio/DESIGN.metadata Which Amarok version is this about? Please upgrade to Amarok 2.5 which is the latest stable version. I'm afraid I can't help with testing this bug anymore, since I no longer use KDE.
