Description Andreas Bayer 2004-07-04 03:13:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Add the abbility to show all open documents instead of open windows or applications. 

If there a several office documents open, perhaps more then one in the same window, it would be more helpful to show the documents then the applications.

And add a right mouse button menu, which helpful actions, like save, print, switch(save doc, close app and open doc in another app), delete, send.......

this is actually two wishlist items in one. the first one is not doable, and is why we have SDI apps versus MDI apps. but MDI apps are used by some specifically because they reduce this clutter. this is no pleasing everyone on this, so the taskbar needs to just follow what the applications provide.

the useful menu thing, however, would be quite cool. maybe one day we'll have that =)

Kicker is no more mantained and all bugs/wishes will not be fixed/implemented in KDE3. A list of the most interesting/unresolved issues which is still valid for KDE4 has been created. Before reopening old kicker bugs on KDE4 Plasma, please try the new KDE 4.3.1, check the current behaviour and, only if you find new bugs or if you need a particular feature, open a new bug report.

Remember that KDE 4 is a full rewrite of KDE 3 so some old features will not be re-implemented because the behaviour has be changed a lot on some sides.

Thanks for the comprehension and enjoy the new KDE 4!
