Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I only use Konqueror as my file manager. When filemanager profile is selected there is no "Status Bar" visible at the bottom of the screen. Without a status bar and unless (annoying) pop-ups are enable, there is no way to see where symlinks point. (It is not possible to add symlinks to the detailed columns as with 3.5.x which is another bug, in my opinion.) There is no menu item (that I can find) that says "show statusbar". The only way to enable the status bar is to edit the ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/filemanagement and change Statusbar=Disabled to Enabled. (However, if you save the filemenagement profile after doing this, the statusbar disappears again and you have to re-edit the file.) I see the same thing in Kubuntu 9.04 and Fedora 11 so I assume this is a default KDE setup and an internal KDE issue. I would like to see: 1. Status bar enabled by default in filemanagement profile. 2. Provide a menu item to enable or disable status bar. 3. Don't disable status bar when filemanagement profile is saved. 4. Allow "link" as a column type as was possible in 3.5.x. (for my purposes, this would render the need for a status bar moot).
SVN commit 1048275 by dfaure: Fix porting bug (yes, even in 2009) - KMainWindow::internalStatusBar() would look for a KStatusBar recursively, so it would find a konqueror per-view-statusbar and hide it erroneously. That lookup is not supposed to be recursive (and wasn't in kde3). BUG: 193072 M +11 -0 tests/kmainwindow_unittest.cpp M +1 -0 tests/kmainwindow_unittest.h M +8 -1 widgets/kmainwindow.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1048275
This should fix 1, 3, and 4. The fix will be in kde 4.3.3. For number 2, see bug 58598.
