In addition to this, there are popupos for images not in order, the KPA survey and so on.. Could there be like one interface that's used for all this and all messages shown via this 'communicator'... I think you get the point: many features that want to tell/ask the user something.. It's just a mess at the moment.. This is indeed an interesting bug that could let you look a bit on the different parts of the code. Suggestions to how to attack this: To see where the code is for the individual dialogs: Simply start KPA in a debugger, and when the dialog pop ups, break the application and go up a few times, till you get into the KPA code. I think the first thing to do is to identify if a given dialog makes sense to a newcomer at all and/or if it is a bug that it is shown at all. You may wish for your KPA to act as if it was a very first time it was started, to do so, simply move your ~/.kde/share/config/kphotoalbumrc out of the way. You may wish to not show some features the first, say 10 times the app is started, for that, I suggest adding a instanceCount() to the Settings/SettingsData.h class, which is bounced one up for every time the app is started. To me it looks much better now: Welcome window Pointing to the root directory Tip of the day Closing. |
