Description Stephan Kleine 2010-09-09 00:26:27 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The plasmoid normally works fine but everytime I start KDE around midnight (read as deep during european night) it doesn't show a thing but fails with "Getting comic strip failed". With KDE 4.4 it simply showed some older one instead (which never was the current one).

Suggested solution: Simply show the latest strip instead until a new one is available.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add comic plasmoid with Garfield and start KDE during european night time (read as midnight +).

Actual Results:  
"Getting comic strip failed"

Expected Results:  
Show me the latest retrieved strip instead of that error message.

Actually the reason why I changed the behaviour in 4.5 were users bugging me that the behaviour of showing the last cached file is confusing.

I might make the old behaviour a config option, though I'll wait if there is actually demand for that -> there are already many config options.
